mechanic's Song . The following has been attributed to Dr. Franklin. It is said he wrote it for the Procession of Trades in Philadelphia, at the adoption of the Constitution on which occasion a press was drawn along the streets, and copies of it distributed to the multitude. Ye merry Mechanics! come join in my song, And let the brisk chorus go bounding along, Though some may be poor, & some rich there may bo, Yet all are contented, and happy and free. Ye Tailors! of ancient and noble renown. Who clothe all the people in country or town, Remember that Adam, your father and head, The Lord of the world, was a tailor by trade.

Ye Shoemakers! noble from ages long past, Have defended your rights with your axel to the lasL And Cobblers, all merry, not only stop holes, Bat work night and day for the good ofoursoe. Ye Cabinet Makers! brave workers in wood, As you work for the ladies your work must be good: And Joiners and Carpenters, far off and near, j fctick close to your trades, and you ve nothing to fear, i Ye Halters! who oft with hands not very fair, Fix hats on a block for a blockhead to wear; .Though charity covers a sin now and then, You cover the heads and the sins of all men. Ye Coach Makers! must not by tax be controlled, But ship off your coaches and fetch U3 home gold; The roll of your coaches made Copcrnicious reel, And fancy the world to turn round like a wheel.

Woman. When darkness clothed this world of oura, An unfounded mass it laid; There breathed no sweets there bloomed no flowNo songs in green arcade: And when that world in beauty shone, Man gaz'd in wild despair; He wanderM through his sweets alone, lfor woman was not there! In Eden's rosy bower he slept, With solitude oppress'd, And in his dreams with anguish wept For one congenial breast. In vision's slumber who can tell The lonely grief he felt, Or his deep joy when first ho woke. And Eve beside him knelt! And through the devious path of life, To cheer its gloomy wild, Man, by the angel friend his wife . Will find its ills beguiled; And care, nor sorrow, sin nor shame, Will in his pathway tread; ers A sacred virtue will embalm Their memories when dead. Selected.

Sources of Poverty. One ofthe great causes of poverty is vice. We v;ould not, by any means, insinuate that a majority ofthe poor are vicious, rar from it; in proportion lo their numbers, wc believe that there is as much virtue among the poor as the rich. Of those, however, who become the objects of public relief and the inmates of our pauper establishment?, without doubt, a large proportion of them are brought there j by their own, or the vices of those upon whom they were dependant, and who dragged them down wan themselves, i his is a well-ascertained tact; and it is among the obvious retributions of Divine Providence, that drunkenness, debauchery, idle

Ono of the next great causes of poverty, is a want of faculty. The art of living or of procuring a livelihood in such a community as ours, is a considerable matter, and requires a knowledge, judgment, and sagacity, of which a large portion of mankind aTe not possessed. They are ignorant ; they are simple. They are incapable of directing themselves; and especially, they lack judgment. They become inefficient. They are unable to make the proper use ofthe advantages which they have.

A large part of the community are living beyond their means.

Thig gort of ,UXUIy extravagance is not confined to any class in society. Those who assume to be thc highest, practise it; and their example is followed by tho lowest; so that the fruits of labor arc prodigally wasted and consumed in indulgences, ! excesses and extravagances, to which no man has) the shadow of right, who cannot discharge his iust j debts; and in which a man is both mad and wicked j to allow himself or those dependant on him, to the ) utter disregard ofthe future and of the ordinary aci mm ! cidents ot mc- !
