The Committee appointed l>y the Board of

PSIHE Board of Health, beg leave to ad-
X diets then fellow citizens, on the
be it means of preferring the health of the
geopie, through the pirfent and approach,

Vinces of the rieccffity of using every
prevention, and it is hoped a little care
and attention, on the part of each family,
will tend to pr-.vent many in fiances of
diiiVafe anv-ngft us.
In thefir(lplace —Certain days are fixed
for the City b. .venger to attend and n .
move oui ui be timus of the city, all ot.
fenfire matter. It neceffari’y happens,
that in many place*, the cmJs cannot at.

aellly recommended, that such mailers ?s
are ufuaiiy thrown into the streets to be
removed by the Scavenger, {hall be retain,

out of reach of the fun, till the cart may

cover until the day and hour f the Sea.

In thefecondplace-— The privies (hould
be carefully examined, and if full cr very
ofFViiTive, cleansed and purified, The fit (I
object is to he accompiifihed by finking ot

The fccond ohjefil may be fee tired by a

fay eight of ten times, when prepared in
an earthen veffe!, the water will be rrioft

the before-mentioned wpod, aud filled up

parts of the lime water and fey, mixed to

sfed in the privies, and the qvumuy above
fpecified will be (ufficient for one days

L is essentially nee- ffary that every fub

fully tenioved from each lot, (o that the
8e& of the fun (hould n.: operate on
them, when they cannot be but red; they

’ being of such importance, it is hoped the
trouble of due attention will not prevent
the accomplishment.
In case of difficulty in procuring the
sfhes of the proper wood, to make Icy o(,
four ounces ot pot or pearl aftes did !ved
jo a gallon and a half of water* will fqual

can be had at ao cents per pound.—l'ama
iies may find it less trouble, arid the ex.
pence will be but trivial to use the foiution

Ih the third place —The water used in
kitchens, for walking dishes, pots, &c. is
generally thrown out on the fame (pot
‘Lily ; by which means the place of depo
rt is kept wet, which under the influence
wt a vertical fun, is highly injurious, to
certtedy which, it is recommended that
fuck di(h wafting, &c. be (pread over the
ftreeis or lots, ia different places each day,
ft that the water (hall net be depufitetl on

AN OLD MAN’S PETITION.
Wheu age of beauty plearlesin ftrain* ftneere,
Twill ore small mark of charity supply;
Who can unmov’d observe the pearly tear.
That falls in pity from that beauty’s eye 2
Ttslike a dew-drop from the fpucre above,
That falls to nourifti where i.t chance to light %
‘Tis Mercy's pittance ot celefti*! love
And dimming, adds a luftre to the fight.
I fawr an aged wretch implore relief;
I paus’d to hear ; when such a tale was told,
T would melt a heart of rock to liquid grief,
And every feeling to its truth unfold.
,{ I ndy, one moment in your bounty spare j
That face betrays a sympathy of foul,
That will not turn averted from the prayer,
My bursting heart no longer can controuJ.
A while ago, I farm’d a ’ot ofland 5
A wife and children blefs’dmy circling days ft
The poor I wejcom and with an open hand,
And (liar’d alike their gratitude and praise.
fThree growing pratler* were cuV fecial Crew,
With one fair youth advanc’d to man’s e?,
estate :
Then all admir’d and loved, the peaceful few
Who liv'd content, nor er.vied to be great
Now. fate revers’d, in rois’ry thus I flay,
To beg tr.y hapless mite from dooi to dco? 5
Alas ! too often feoff’d as in my way,
By those I chertih’d ere I grew so poor.
The neighb’ring back which fail'd to long
ago,
With halt’ the riches of the country round.
My glitt’ring joys converted into woe,
And funk, my profpedls lower than the ground.
Still I look’d pp? my children httngred ftillj
Still look’d for fire their chilly limbs to warm;
’Twas mine a father's duty to fulfil i
Hope beam’d, and labour nerv’d my willing
atm.
u My hoy, too, (peace to his departed worth,
Methinks I see him in an angel's forms)
Embrac’d u* all, then smiling, (allied forth.
To ihield ns from the arrows of the ilortn.
“Twas then u’r nation’s fafety was alarm’d j
His youth was ardent, and be caught the fires
A double motive now his bosom warm’d,
To Serve his country and to feed his fire.
* Two year* contented pail’d g our bread wii
sweet ;
Though mix’d with eare, ccmpsr'd, it yet was
joy g
Greit news Arri'-’d—cur foe had loft their meet
And I, alas! these tears—hid Lft my ley 2 -
Now forrowg heap’d their lead, and gain’d
their way ;
This the forerunner of dill worce to come J
For one by one, my darlings clos'd thei r day.
And I alone was left of all tny home.
m A fever rag’d wit;.in our manot , ! clairtt J
The memory coils my heart a fear of blood }
To many a fire it left a chieldlefs name,
And nip my blooming flowerets in their bud.
Tiie Hem that bote them now began to drept
My lotig.lov'd wife, myfiill and latest friend,
My l!t support, of Heav'n in Nature'sfoope ;
K'ow spun her wretched foff'rings to an end.
“ Since that, feme years have roil'd their lir.g,
ering round* ;
Years o( defpaif, of horror, and of pain ;
Broke tny heart, and recollection's wounds,
Floating the circles cf my frantic brain.
Oh, Lady, lift ! believe me what I seem ;
I have not where to go, nor yet to stay J
My food is chance, my drought the freezing
stream,
The iky my (belter, snd the world my way.
To me a trifle would each comfort give ?
My little wants are m*w but plain and few j
I want but humbly, and in peace to live,
And cie refign'd, as every man (hould d®.‘*
Thus cloFd his pray'r—An angel heard the
(train ;
The tear if* semblance truly did ’uphold r
Now yonder cot, that (kirts the village plain,
Piotefts ins (hiv'ring bosom from the cold.
