All things arc full of Labour.
IVell what a bufy world is this ?
4 refilefs noify bubble !
1 here's no Jucb thing a, fofXd b’ifs,
Uncharged with and trouble
The fweets. the joys which arc found,
Vain joys ourfslves have Rated ;
And but the fame laborious round,
A thou/and times repeated.
The fun each morn fo early /sen,
Sweats up the eafiern deep ;
And then as fof t goes down again ,
And/seks his native deep.
The moon too. like her fifier made,
Goes laboring on with pain j
Till of her burthen hr ug t to bed,
And then grows young again
Now Flora's dr ef s'd in all her pride
here ,
Straight Summer's deg clays enter ,
Next Autumn brings us wine and
cyder,
And then again comes winter.
The/e are induflrious, all mufi own,
For nature's feldom idle •,
Shall man then, lordly man alone ,
Rcfufe to bear the bridle ?
No; we too have our rounds ‘ tis
light,
JVc cat-—we di Ink —w: play
Ai noon the fame, the fame at night,
And fo conclude the day
A young woman being to take her
oath before ajulUce of the peace , as
a witnefs in feme cau/e the examiner
afked her by what title he should let
her down, whether JViaid, fVi e, or
IVtdew ? ‘ O certainly a Maid, (fatd

Mr TROUP'S SPEECH
On the bill fuppler,tent ary to the alt,
entitled c: An all to efiablijh an

Mr. Troup fatd, that ne was not

FRIDAY, MAY 29, ISl*.
of the haufr—Gentlemen who are
equally oppoied to war and every
preparation for war were conditenC
when they obj< cc to a mrafure which
was as necHlary c< fhc wat as arms
or ammunition. In the wretched,
deplorably wretched organization of
the war department it was impc-ili
bic cirhrr to begin the war cr to
conduit r—ln its prefenc organiza
ti -n it waa a mere counti tg h *ufe
eflabi.fhtnmt—a principal and eight
clerks without gradation of authority
or tiidribution -ot duties—Gentle
men were mdiaken in the obje<st of
the bill-—they were no* clerks which
were wanted—there wen clerks
enough—it was refptftatijluy c£
character and knowledge of military
detail that was required-—how was
if to be obna'ivb? Certainly by
creating a rejpetlable >fdcer with a
reipedable taiary—a mere clerk
fhtp, with 1500 dollar* a year, c. ,ulj
not be expeCh u to command elrher.
A man who had never gone to the
department to lock into irs organi
zation wouid naturally lupp fn that
the various and multiplied duties of
ic were divided and distributed a
moi.g the clerks, and that in (hat
way they were enabled to get along
with the bufmefs 5 but vvna- was the
the faht l Why the clerks were
little mure than fo many book
keepers, whiiit the general powers
and detals or e devolved a I mod
ext lullveb on ihe ferretary—a
weight of bufinefi to which ‘he m~
duliry and capacity of on or.e man
were acuquaie. Gentlemen ought
to confidcr that the labor of fries
like every other deferipuon of labor
to be produ&ive ought to be fubdi
vided—ln the organization of fßce
three things ougne robe confide-ed
—The general power, the details and
the execution, ihe union of th-ie in
anv one perfon is the worlt pt flibie
organization—it is the jodi- ous dif
tr buuon f them, the eonli g the
general powers to one, the details • > a
iecoud and the execution *a . hud,
which conft* utes i- m >ft peru dfe
organization of (>fn —By the bill
under confiderauon it wr>s propofed
to confide tne general fuperintend
