THE DEBTOR.
Wn ile happier muse* sing of heroes bold,
Or wing’d by fanc>- skim the flowery vale:
Mine steep’d in sorrow....shrunk by miseries
cold,
Weeps o’er the horrors of the gloomy jail.
Here the pale Debtor, scourged with iron rod,
Pours his lone ’plaints on every passing gale;
Here suffering mothers raise their cries to God,
While their faint offspring seek the narrow
vale.
On the damp floor, here naked babes are seen.
Their little hands are rais’d....their lips are
dry;
For bread ...for drink, they piteously complain,
As shrunk by famine, taint St cold they he.
Man does not know with what soul-chilling
grief,
The suffering mother turns away her eyes ;
While her pale infants mourn for that relief
Which she no more can give, to soothe
their cries
On her shrunk breasts two sickly infants bang,
Their shortening moans proclaims then- end
is near;
Their filthy eyes, weak pulse, at.d rattling
lungs.
Tear her chilled heart, arid freeze her veins
with fear.
The vengeful Creditor, with eyes of fire,
Sneers at her sighs, and scofis at every
groan;
With oaths and curses aggravates his ire,
Drinks all her tears, and mocks at every
moan.
The trembling Debtor, mute in bitter woe,
Sets tils pale partner spend her tears in vain;
Sees her chill'd breast throb weak, and faint,
end slow,
While her spent offspring flee from life and
pain. .
Lost to thy country!....hunted from the world!
Pursued by furies ’.....made the sport of
tie nt Is!
Condemn’d unheard'.....from every refuge
hurl’d ’.
Bereav’d of wife! of children!....void of
friends!
Poor suffering outcast! raise thy soul to God,
For man is cruel, and will Still pursue;
Man shall pursue thee still, with iron rod,
And still shall scourge thee, and thy pains
renew.
Suns still shine, but not for thee shalr shine....
Nor sun. nor star gleams through thy grated
hall;
Damps, filth, and vermin....sickly dews are
thine....
Loud shrieks of woe, and sorrow’s plaintive
call
Thou couldat not save, when thy sweet Wil
liam’s moan
Ebb’d gently forth with his last struggling
breath;
Weak was thy strength, whene’er fair Myra’*
groan
Fell oil thy senses, like the chill of death.
Flee suffering outcast....flee tlice home to God ’.
W ith him the Debtor finds a swept repose;
There finds a refuge from the iron rbd,
Os stern, relentless, bloody, cruel foes.
Urge, urge thy flight, for in her bloody car,
Hungry and fell, pursuing dose behind,
W ith whips of snakes and ‘gory scimitar,’
Rides n- d Revenge borne on the groaning
wind.
Urge on thy flight, for nought but grief and
pain,
Remain for thee in this bleak vale of ttars;
• Mercy and peace have fled to heaven again,’
Contempt and scorn shall blast thy future
years.
‘ No eye shall pity thee... no hand shall save,’
No tender friend shall greet thee with a
tear;
But red Revenge shall scourge thee to thy
grave,
Envy shall howl, and dance around thv bier.

AS two rustic neighbors were talking toge
ther on a late market day, in Dromore, says
one to the other, ‘ Can you tell me Paddy,
what makes candies so dear thy; season ?’—
• Why the rear,' replied the other. • Lord
bless us I . cried Pat) are tkev going to fight
by candle light?'
Great surprise being expressed to a certain
gentleman, at his having recently given his
daughter in marriage to a gentleman with
whom he was known to have been at variance
and enmity ; he answered, ‘ that man used me
ill, and I gave him my daughter in revenge—
in pure vengeance.’

'i he Celebrated Imported Running
HORS,
ROYALIST,
HAS commenced the season
at Edgefield court-house, S.C. and w ill
be let to maresut THIRTYDOLLARS
the season, payable by note the first day
of January next, which may be dis
charged by TWENTY DOLLARS
when the mare is first put or taken
from the stand—FOßT\ T DOLLARS
to insure a mare to be in foal, (if she
is brought to the horse in due time)
payable by note, and due as soon as it
is ascertained that she is in foal, or dis
posed of—one dollar to the groom,
paid at the stable door. We have pro
vidad a sufficient quantity of wheat for
any number of mares that may be left
with the horse, gratis—and will feed
with grain, pointedly as directed at 25
tents per day, to be paid when the mare
is taken from the stand. We have fur
nished two servants to attend the mares,
and every care shall be taken to give
satisfaction and avoid accidents or es
capes, but will not be accountable for
either.
ROYALIST is u full blooded racer—
he was bred by bis royal highness the
prince of Wales, was gut by baltram,
son of Eclipse by Mursk, who covered
at 200 guineas the season-—his dam by
Hctod, grand dam by Mursk, g. grand
(lain by Blank, g. g. grand dam by Dri
ver, g. g. g. grand dam by Smiling
Tom, g. g. g. g. grand dam by Oyster
foot, g. g. g. g. g. grand dam by Com
moner, &C.
ROYALIST is full brother in blood
to Whiskey, Oscar, Whip, Stc. and it
is given up by the best judges that have
seen lorn, that his equal for beauty,
great strength, running parts, and ac
tion, can scarcely be surpassed in En
gland or America, lie stands nearly
sixteen bands high, a deep mahogany
bay, and as te bis running performan
ces, the following will shew that they
ate equal to uny horse of bis day.
PERFORMANCES.
In 1793, at 3 years old, the first time
Royalist started, lie won 400 guineas at
Ncw-Market, beating lord Grosvenor’s
chesnut filly by Potoooooooo’s, out of
Marine, and the duke of Bedford’s colt
by Highflyer, out of Contgonde. lie
started for the Craven stakes, and beat
Dare Devil, Agamemrnon, Coriander,
Seagul, Golden Rod, Foi l William, and
six others. The next time he started,
he won a subscription plate for 50
pounds each, beating Patriot, Cymbe
line, Brimstone, Robin Cray and seven
others. He also beat the duke of Bed
ford's colt by Highflyer, and the duke
of Norfolk’s grey filly by Dungannon,
a sweepstake ci 200 guineas each, at
four years old. Pie beat lord Egre
njonl’s aged horse Seagul, a match for
200 guineas across the flat at New-
Market, in 1795. lie beat Don Quix
ottc, Calico, the duke of Bedford’s
Cub, and Mr. Durand’s filly by Saltram,
for the Craven stakes.—Pie walked over
the course at Ncw-Market, for 1200
guineas, and no horse dare start against
him. He also beat several others of
the most capita! horses in England, too
tedious to enumerate, but may be seen
by the Racing Calenders and Sporting
Magazine s, wnich upon a recent exam
ination it is found, that Royalist is far
the best racer that has ever been soid
to America, except Whip and Buzzard;
from trials they had with the best hor
ses in England, they were all nearly
equal in speed and bottom, as the re
cords describe, beating all the best hor
ses of their day, except Whiskey.—
This advertisement will disappear in
five weeks, as it will give lull informa
tion in that time.
We expect to keep the best import
ed horses at the above stand, or near it,
for several years.
