DREADFUL HAM) TIMES! Yesterday-1 talked down To that part of the town.

Where people collect at the sign of the Tun, To discuss and debate The great matters of state, And show how the things that go wrong should be done. Therewas ragged Sam Kent, Who is not worth a cent, There was idle Dick Lawless, and noisy Jack Grimes, And swaggering Jim Bell, "Who has nothing to sell, All cursing the Banks, and these dreadful hard times. There was old daddy Slop, Who has lost his last crop, By neglecting to mend up some gaps in his fence; There was shabby Ned Thorn, Who had planted his corn, But never put hoe, no, nor plough to it since. There was dashing Bill Sutton, With a fine dandy coat on, Who was ne'er out of debt, nor was worth twenty dimes: They too joined the throng, And still kept up the song, A curse on the banks and these dreadful hard times. Next came in Dick Short, Who was summoned to court, For some hundreds of half pints of whiskey and rum: He had brought the last sack Of his grain on his back, Tho' his children were crying with hunger at home: Here, landlord, said Short, Come bring me a quart, I must treat these my friends sire, and merry Jack Grimes; I've the corn sir to pay; There's no booking to day Then he fell to cursing the banks and hard times. Next came in Tom Sargent, "Who lateiy turned merchant, And bought a full store, I can scarcely tell how; But this much I know, About twelve months ago, That the constable sold at the post his last cow But Tom dash'd away, Spending hundreds each day, Till the merchants brought suits for their dry goods and wines; So Tom joined the throng, With a curse on the banks and these dreadful hard times. Next appeared Madam Pride, (And a beau at her side,) With her silks spread with lace, quite down to her tail; Her husband that day, Unable to pay For the dress she then wore, had been locked up in jail; She turned to the throng, As she tripped it along, And she hoped that the merchants would swing for such crimes, As to make people pay Their old debts in this way; And she cursed all the banks and these dreadful hard times. Now, said I, Mr. Short, You are summon'd to court; And must soon go to jail for these long whiskey scores: And you, Mr. Drew, Aye, and you, sir, and you, Who are hanging round taverns, and running to stores: And you, Madam Pride, Must your silks lay aside ; And you, Mr. Idle, and you, Mr. Grimes, Must all to your labors, Like some of your neighbors, , And you'll soon put an end to these dreadful hard times. - THE CHRISTENING. -A-hundred names were soon proposed, "XJut every one the Wife opposed, ' No tongue, could eV.r r;n faster; Well, IMtT,tle;v' the Husband cried: r'What! PtterT' the good Dame replied; 4i No! he denied his Jlzster!" "Thro' all the list," said he "I've run, ""And know not, then, what's to he done "To -close this sad distress: 'Suppose, my dear, he's Josepfi called?" ;No, never, no!" she loudly bawled, 44 For, he denied his .V.rtss" DOCTORS Alison & M'Namcc HAVE ut received from New-Or-Seaus an additional supply of )i'ug8,Mcdicincs8fc. Which, added to their stock on hand, nmnlctes their assortment. The whole of which they are resolved to sell LOW for cah in hand, or to good purchasers cn a short credit. Vincennes.
