POETICAL ASYLUM.

TRUE BEAUTY. 'Tis not the " lips of roseate hue." Nor glance of love from orbs of blue ' 1 is not the tear that gems the eye, When burets for Blighted love the ugh The betuteoui mouth, the wiotUOg smile That can man's every care beguile. Tis not the eve or polish'd brow. That shan the whiteness of the snow j The mouth divine, the glowing cheek, Nor forms that every grace bespeak ; Nor woman's self, in triumph's hour. When pleas'd, she wields the magic power : Nor all the charms and matchless grace That shed their light o'er beauty's face. More beauteous far than roseate lip, "Where vagrant bees' might rest and sip ; More beauteous far than eyes of blue, That vie with Summer sky in hue ; More beauteous far than drops that rove Down maiden's cheek, for slighted love Is Virtue with a feeling mind, A generous breast, a taste refin'd. vris this Aone can love impart. Or bind toVomams chain the heart. S. Mount-Haifa X. J. Oct. 1817.

iefjon I

From the Albany Argus. A sovereign remedy for American distresses proposed four and sixty years ago and as much to be relied on as the best prescriptions of Hippocrates or Galen. 1. When you incline to have new cloths look first well over the old ones, and ee if you cannot shift with them another year, either by scouring mending or even patching if necessary. Remember a patch on your coat, and money in your pocket, are better and more creditable than a writ on your back, and no money to take it off and when you must buy clothes, let them, I beseech vou,be the produce of vour own country they will keep you as warm and perhaps last as long as the best piece of cloth manufactured in Great Britian. 2. Wnen you incline to buy any China ware, chintzes, Indian silks, or any such baubles, 1 would not be so hard with yon as iG on your absolutely resoh ine against it, aii 1 advise is to put it off(asyou do your repentance) till another veai ; 8c this in some respects, may prevent an occasion of repentance 3. It you are noa drinker of punch, wine, ale, tea or coffee twice a day, drink them but once a day for the ensuing year, if yon now drink them but once a day, do it once every other day. If you do it but trice a week, reduce the practice to once a Fortnight And if you do not exceed the quantity as you lessen the times, half your expense in these articles will be saved. 4, And lastlv, when you intend to drink rum, fill the glass half with water. If naner money in ever so great quan-

titi.' roll Id be made, no man can get am

of it for nothing; but all he saves in this w iy will be his own for nothing. Then the merchants old and doubtful debts, may be paid off, and trading become sure hereafter, if not extensive.

Fifteen minutes shall be allowed for opening and closing the mail at all offices where no particular time is specified. 3. For every thirty minutes delay (unavoidable accidents excepted) in arriving after the times prescribed and in any contract the contractor shall forfeit one dollar ; and if the delay continue until the departure of any depending mail whereby the mails destined for such depending mail loses a trip, a forfeiture for double the amount allowed for carrying the mail one trip shall be incurred, unless it shall be made to appear that the delay was occasioned by unavoidable accident ; in which case the amount ofay for the trip, will in all cases, be forfaited and retained. 4.

NEW FiRE ENGINE. We understand that a Fire Engine, on anew principle has been recently invented by two gentlemen in the vicinity of Boston and has been inspected with much approbation bv several scientific gentlemen. The principal benefit of the improvement consist in the thcafmeof of the construction, which is such as to bring it within the means of every village in the country and indeed of every zvealthv firivate individual The following also are among the other advantages of the new construction. I. They work without friction of course a smaller number of men is necessary to work them. 2; All the essential parts of the Engine m be made bv common mechanics; Consequently they can easily be repaired in the country . 3 They will throw water as high) and in every respect as well as on the common cotruction. 4 They can be taken to pieces, every part examined and put together again in a few minuits.
