Miscellaneous. POU THE FREE PRESS. HARD TIMES, And worse are coming. What shall a body do to live, In these hard "iron times?" Advice to ye I freely give, And give it thus in rhymes Go ye, lead out Quincy A, Ton Quincy hill to graze; And lead yc in old Hickory J, Ye'll then have better days. He'll blow "sky high" that witless act, Of Johnny Q's that made The British Islands say "go back, You shall not with us trade." He'll revolutionize affairs, And mollify the times; Extirpate those public bears That deal in office crimes. Base intrigue will take its flight, From the Western world, And kingly notions will be quite To Pluto's region hurl'd. But if ye keep old Quincy in, Dream no more of pleasures; Freedom will be sunk in sin, And dwindle will your treasure?. Titled dogs or demons will Our sacred rights invade; And independence mute and chill, Will in her grave be laid. Her funeral ding dong will be rung, Most dismal through the gloom; And mournful will her dirge be sun, By millions o'er her tomb. Therefore let us lead out Q, 'Pon Quincy hill to graze; And translocate the Hickory yew, We'll then have better days. Then 'neath the Hickory tree we'll sit, And pass the goblet round; And drink and smoke segar and spit And laugh and talk profound. Debt will no more mar our cheer, These "iron times" will flee; Nor Bailiff's tongue insult our ear, With "I've a writ 'grinst-thee." AS YOU LIKE IT. EPITAPH.

Notwithstand ing the long destructive war, a gainst which South America has been contending, its provinces Mve yielded immense Quantities of cotton. The rich and fertile lands of the Amazon and the La Plata, have of a sudden, lost their wild, uncultivated appearance, & the quantity of cotton raised from them approximates to a rivalship with our own country. .

His guest, after drinking pretty freely, became extremely rude and abusive to his host, insomuch that the Quaker's patience was at length quite exhausted, and he rose up and addressed him in the following words: "Friend, I have given thee meat offering, & drink offering, and burnt offering, and for thy misconduct I will give thee a heave offering;" and immediate ly threw him into the street out of this: the distresses that arc rcnio A Trick.
