The Woodman. For retirM From noise and smoke, Jbrk Lhear the woodman's stroke, IV ho dreams not, as he fells the oak, What mischief dire he brews; How art may shape the falling tree's, In aid of luxury and ease; He weighs not matters such as these, But sings, ahd hacks, and hews. perhaps, now, fellM by this bold man, That tree shall form the spruce sedan, Or wheelbarrow where oyster Nan . So r:ns her vulgar rig: The stage, where boxers erowd in flocks, Or dsn a quacks; perhaps the stocks : Or nosh for signs, or barber's blocks, lio.ro. c.tnilr.s the parson's tvi Where smiles the parson's wig. Thou maVst,boldpeasant,oh! what grief! The gibbet on which hangs the thief, The seat, where sits the grave lord chief, The throne, the cobler's stall: TIjou pamper'st life in every stage, 'iak'st lolly's whims, pride's equipage; I'or children, toys crutches for age, And collins for us all. "t, justice let us still afford; hese chairs, and this convivial board, The bin that holds gay Bacchus1 hoard, Confess the woodman's stroke. 'I If? made the press that bled the vine, The butt that holds the gen'rous wine; The hall itself where tipplers join, To crack the mirthful joke. Tet greater deeds his axe performs, Which every patriot bosom warms, And gives to freedom's foes alarms, Unconscious of the stroke. See our infantile navy rMe, (Columbia's glory, and her pride,) jlann'd by her sons, all foes deride, Strung in her native oak. "THE DEVIL?S WALK." Trom his brimstone bed, at the break of dav, .A walking the Devil was gone; To visit his snug little Farm of the earth, And see bow his stock goes on. And over the hill, and over the dale, And he rambled over the plain; And backward and forward he switched his long tail, As a gentleman switches his cane. And I pry'thee, friend, how was the Devil dret ? Oh! he was in his Sunday's best: His coat was red, his breeches were blue, With a hole behind which bis tail went through. He saw a Lawyer killing a 'Viper On a dunghill near his own stable; And the Devil was tickled, for it put him in mind Of Cain and his brother Abel, Jlc saw an Apothecary on a white Horse Tide by on his vocation; And the Devil was'pleas'd, for he thought he beheld His friend Death in the Revelation. "?Ie saw a cottage with a double coachhouse, A-cottage of gentihtv; And the 'Devil he smil'd, for his darling Vice Is Pride which apes Humility. He went into a rich bookseller's shop: - Says he, "We're both of one college; ;For I myself sat like a cormorant once "Hard by the Tree of Knowledge." As he passM through Coid-Bath Fields, he saw A solitary cell: And the Devil he paus'd, for it gave him a hint For improving the prisons of Hei!. i Jovn a river did glide, with wind k tide, A Pig! with vast celerity; And the Devil he grinn'd, for he saw all the while How it cut its own throat, and he thought with a smile On England's commercial prosperity ! He saw General Gascoigne's burning face Which liliM him with consternation; And back to Hell his way he did make, 5 'or the Devil he thought (by a slight mistake) Tvas the general conflagration! Died, on the 10th nit. at Philadelphia. Samuel Wheeler, Esq. aged nearly TS -cars. He was one of those who committed he first overt act of " high treason" Jiemt his majesty George HI. b j'iih of New-York. He was busily oc- ' iipied during the revolution sometimes :n the field, and he made cannon of bars it iron, far exceeding bras ordnance of il-oilar calibre, in lihtness.and distance, -i Till accuracy of dlVct. The first that lit made was in Philadelphia; it was the .-.dmiiation and pride of the American ;:rmv; was captured at the battle of ? ;mlywine, carried to. England and deposited in the tower of London. At Ptitssfield, Otsego county, N. Y. r-vo men who hd been engaged in tiring some fallow land, retired, much fatigued, to a small building near by, where it is supposed tbey fell asleep. The wind v.ving fresh, communicated the fire to tome shingles about the building, and be-Sr-vo the neighbors could collect, the two if . fortunate "men had both perished in the tlames. The Theatre at New-York was wholh tieslroycd by Fire on the nisht of the iUth iiit. It was veiled by Mr. Jacob J. AlQr.
