Ob, Dr. Franklin ! 'tis a pity, That you, in Traus-atlantic ciry, Havebeeu so cruel and so nitty ' Gainst Bachelors. Your high authority I know, But still Pll venture—dare to show The many comforts here below Centering in Bachelors. I am the Ladies1 humble servant, Admire them all with passion fervent, Greatly delight in their preferment— "A gallant Bachelor! And laugh not at my appellation, Ye Fair, of this enlightened nation— Powcifnl vc are—and this oblation Comes from a Bachelor. ■ And then my comfortI—my fire-side Is free from strife, and smooth 1) glide The pleasant hours of even-tide With a young Bachelor. A life's a good substantial joy ; But then it laMssolong—we buy i H^r gold too dear with liberty, So precious to a Bachelor. And shackles, though they gilded he, Are shackles still, and on the free The \oke weighs unsuspectedly— . " I'll be a Bachelor. Oodnin declares there's no such thing As unshared bibs—eu Fancy's wing He io^rs sublime—even let him *iug, The foe of Bachelors. More recent yet, a Noble Lord Calls*" happiness" aye, that's the word ! M A twin !—These nils have freely prored Their scorn on Bachelors. Let them talk on, they're in the scrape ; The knot once tied, who can escape } We can't like Proteus change our shape, Arid 6e again a Bachelor. How Women's tongues oft frighten me Kt distance heard ! and what must be The horrors of propinquity— Say, all ye Bachelors ? WhftB<through thefour-and-twenty hours They're priviledged to use their powers, And icarce/tfr ever from our bowers, The quiet of a Bachelor. Hail, and adieu ! my single friends ! The Laughtef-loving God attends Our steps, and amply makes amends To Bachelors. ONE OF THE TRIBE f January 17, 1820. From the Montreal Herald, 26th Feb. Wc have the pleafure of intimating, that a farther donation of ninety Dollars, has been received from the Highland Society of Upper Canada, by the hands of John Fiflier Efq. to be applied to the (up port of an Emigrant Office, which has been lately eftablifhed in Montreal, and placed under the direction of Mr. Gil- chnft. We (hall embrace an early oppor¬ tunity of giving a particular account of the nature and plan of this important and neceflary inftitution ; in the mean time, we are defired to intimate, that Mr. Gil- • •hrift will immediately commence a cor- refpondence with the Emigrant Societies •n Quebec and King lion, and with fuch of he Landholders, Clergy, and other Gen¬ tlemen in Upper Canada, as are bed qualified to furnifh information cr in any way to promote the important objeft of the inftitution, which is to aflift the Emi¬ grants to proceed to their Lands, or to Jirett them to the moft eligible fettlements. Tobacco from the East Indies. An aft was parted in the lafl feflivn allowing the importation of Tobacco from the Eaft Indies under the following regu¬ lations viz. - That Tobacco from the Eaft Indies may be imported in packages containing not lefs that IOO lbs. net weight ;but (hall not be put into br.^s or packages within any fuch packages; nor feparated or divided in any other manner, N. T. paper. ExtraS of a letter from Demerara, dated the 15/A December. ** This poor colony is vifited by a moft unprecedented fick'iejs, and nothing can be more difmal than thealmofl continued tolling of the bell to ufher 4, 6, and even 11 white people to their graves. So rapid is the difeafe, thit a few hours only dis- pofc of a valuable life." From the St* Louis Enquirer. A peep through the Telescope. There are three objefts which Amer¬ ican ftatefmen fhould have conftantly before their eyes, which they fhould fteadily advance upon, and never abandon, until they are fully accompliihed. They are— I. The acquifition of Cuba. The pofTcflion of that ifland is neceflary to the republic—to maintain the union of the weftem and the Atlantic dates—to protect the commerce of the valley of the MifEffippi—to command that of Mexico— and to furnifh coffee to the republic. i. The independence of Mexico. The independence of that empire would give it a free trade. A free trade would threw its commerce, and the gold and filver of three hundred and twelve mines into the bofom of the republic; The gold 2nd filver of thtfe mines would make a bafis for a paper currency ; would relieve the preffurc for money ; would enable the republic to put into action all i:s faculties for war or commerce, and would make it the mod powerful nation upon the gtfrbe. j. A trade to India, by tb^j Columbia and MifTifliiipi rivtrc. Thae would turn the richeft vein of our foreign commerce intoa channel exclufivc- ly American ; would pface it beyond the reach of European annoyance ; would fubftitute a trade in barter for the prefent ruinous trade of gold and filver ; would enable the republic to derive all the ad¬ vantages of her fuperb poiition between Europe and Afia ;,would render her for¬ midable to both-*-invulnerable to either. AMKRICANUS. A Whimsical Sharper. A well drefled (harper lately obferving a fervant maid converting with a young man, two doors from her miilrefs's houfe, and that fhe had left the ftreet door quite open, took the opportunity of flipping in, and ftepped into the parlour, where an elderly lady was fitting by the fire, with two candles on the table, in filver candlefticks ; without the leaft ceremony, he takes a chair and feats himfelf oppofite to her, and began with faying, " Madam if you pleafe, 1 will tell you an odd ftory which hap¬ pened a few nights ago to a very worthy woman in our neighborhood. Her fervant maid was talking at a little diflance to a filly fellow, as your own fervant now is, and left her door open : in the interim, in flips a fharper, as I may do, and walks into a room where her miftrefs good woman was fitting before the fire, with two candles as you may do. Well, he had not fat much longer than I have done with you before he takes one of the candles out of the candlefticks, fnuffed it out, and put the candleftick in his pocket, as I may do now. The good woman was panic- ftruck as you may be : upon which he takes out the other candle, as I may do, puts the candleftick into his pocket, as I fhall do, and then wifhes her a good night, which I do moft fincerely wifh you." iIt- was going out of the door when the maid finifhed her converfation, and, coming up the fteps, he accofted her With faying, " My dear, your miftrefs has rung twice for you f* and wilhing Let good night, went clear off with the candlefticks.
