POETICAL ASYLUM, THE PRISONER. By Philip Freneau, TO fields of green, and tufted pines, Where nature forms her bold designs, While little souls for pleasure stray, I find content an easier way. Once like the rest, in folly's train, A jail I deem'd the greatest pain ; But reason says, and say we can, " 'Tis wisdom's walk-- the school for man." Your men of sense take half an age To moralize from Plato's page : But truth, that guides my pen, can tell, A sheriff's writ will do as well. Of debts and duns no more afraid, I now enjoy happier shade And more secure retreats from pain, Than fancy paints, or poets feign. When friends forsake, and riches fail, The last resource is still a jail : Here busy fools from toil repair, And find an end of all their care. "While others pay for learning sense, We here are taught at no expense, "With debts and fears the world is curst : But we are blest, who know the worst. When at my window dark and high, I stand to see the crowd go by, My fate with theirs I scorn to share ; For all betray the marks of care. Of all the woes they feel or hear, How few can find admittance here I No scholding wives disturb our rest: No storms at sea our peace molest. If sickness come, so blest are we, That doctors scarce expect a fee, What station can with ours compare, Who, with our keys, thus lock out care ? For sale at the Office of the Western Sun.

A PROPOSAL BY ZADOK. CRAMER, Bookfeller, Pittsburgh, (Penn.) FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, NOTES OF A TOUR TO THE WESTERN COUNTRY, THE STATES OF OHIO AND KENTUCKY, A VOYAGE DOWN THE OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI RIVERS, AND A TRIP THROUGH THE MISSISSIPPI TERRITORY AND PART OF WEST FLORIDA Commenced in the winter of 1807, and concluded in 1809.

BY F. CUMING Sketching the state of the vast tract of

drifting

country through which he travelled, a distance of between three and four thousand miles. Early history--progress in

population--manners--cus-toms--natural and artificial curiosities rivers--creeks--towns--villages,--man-

ufactures-- religion--politicks-- Indian wars and massacres peculiarities of back woodsmen and hunters-- Indian mounts or ancient burying places fortifications on the Ohio Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians on the Missippi their manners and customs settlements on the Mississippi river-- soil, products, climate and diseases, &c. of these regions. Proposals for this work were issued some time ago, but its publication was necessarily delayed in consequence of the author extending his route, further than he at first intended, down the Mississippi river, thro' the Mississippi Territory and part of West Florida. The Tour is now completed, and the manuscript in the hands of the publisher, and will be put to press immediately, & issued with as little delay as possible. There were a number of subscribers to the first proposals, and more are now refpectfully solicited those especiallv fond of

encouraeinir literature and Icieuce of

learning the state of their own country, geographically and physically of reading man as he is, with all his burdens on his back of storing their minds with useful information, rational and beneficial a amusements.

bles, and faults our vices and virtues

II ow then, Fellow Gountryrr.en, have ye permitted two whole yean to pal's fincc the noble and natural reiolution was every where, individually formed ; and the traveller Mill to alk in vain, Where is the National Monument, facrtd to public and prwte virtue ; to the manes of the illuftrius WASHINGTON ? Columiins you owe to the world, as well as to youriVlves, an apology, or an explanation, tor the m llciitus dtLy of your ackuowh ilgcil duty ; lincc nothing can be more true, than that a mere dilVcrence ol opinion, reipecting t lie lonn of the Monument, or the u.oe of its elevation, is the iolc caule. To prove this, Jet us iec at once to obviate ail dilhculiy, by uniting in a limpje plan t.) r.ccord with tiie anncxec, now in operation : TERMS OF SUBPCUIPTION, l j a .Vo::umcnt f.tCted to RuiJic and Pii-v-.te Vwtur, ddicatrd to GEORGE
