When Corn-Planter made his appearance, 1 was a witness to the reJ ... w 1 I
alitv oftus statement, l was hkc w ise well pleased with what was re
laied by the Plough-boy. in your Cth No.' there was a species of com
position, which was not approbated bv me, nor do I believe any per
son could think well of it, that wish
ed the progress of learning to be kept in motion.. I should enlarge here on this subject, only f have discovered a small piece in answer to it; I shall therefore, let the peeper or pelf-scraper go on alone towards haven in his solitary sulkev, not howir.g whether to bid him God speed or not. He has undertook to sap the foundation of your laudable occupation, not wishing the welfare of mankind. I apprehend he is an eld batchelor, if m, alas! how disconsolate his condition. No wonder that he should endeavour to extirpate the great
genius of extending knowledge in
staying at home he will stroll abroad, and finding nothing there to sweeten company, after lounging about saving but little to any person, he wili so xi tire at that and tart home a
gain: Alas! ahis! his steps are slow, hi fare towards the ground, la
knows home has no attractions, he discovers nothing there but gloomy walls a!:d lonesome chambers, he
swallows his silent supper, he crawls
to his bed, and tremblingly, quite
l.ims' lf up in cold sheets, sadly re-
pi inhering that with to-morrow
iovkss sun, the same dull round
must begin again.

quit Calimarius and proceed.

Tricnd Editor,
I am much pleased with a com
munication in one of the numbers of
the Intelligencer, which appears to be designed to give mc some good advice, and had it not been for contrary winds, I should have give:? Scribler an answer before this time, but I hope that he will not conclude thatl was afraid of him, or had not cornea sense enough to think of any thing ta write. I understand by friend Scribbler that he allows even body to say something; therefore.
