fe-— POETiiy^_ *'llO>l THE ALBANY Pl.OUCU aoV. THE l ARMKR. Al! the toiis of summer o’er, Peace and plenty round his door, Wboon edrib so blest and free, As cue Farmer? —Like the bee, All the tweeis of life are his— Large and full his cup of bliss— Who can envy thrones to kings, When the plough such treasure brings. See his works with profit crown’d— Barns, with hay stacks huddled round, Like a family whom fear Draws within a circle near,—. Stately steeds and cattle neat, Cribs of corn and mows of wheat, Thickly crowded is his fold— II armies) sheep and lambs behold, Like the Christian ’midst the din Of a noisy world of sin— Fowl oviparous cackling sound, Pois’d with one foot on the ground, Meet their master as he comes, Ciuck their wants, and shake their plumes; When at midnight ail (a still Hear his geeie with voices shrill, At the silliest thought of harm, liaise the tocsin of alarm; While from the barn yard round, Echoes back the streaming sound. Sar the lofty turkey cock, Monarch of the feather’d llock, Like a haughty potentate, Strutting round the yard of state, l illed with anger tierce and dread, At the sight of daring red, Swell’ll and gobbling as he goes, Dire destruction on his foes. 13m, like other tyrants, he Soon will lose his head, you’ll see. Ere the morn unlock* her doors, Whence a stream of d«y light pours, lire ihe bacchanalian goes From his cup so seek repose, Hear the game cock's clarion peal, Breaking sleep's mysterious seal, Like a summons from the skies, Calling mortals to arise; While each faithful centinel Answers aloud that t‘all is well.” Industry obeys the call, Rises, hastens to the stall. And replenishes with food, All his stock and all his brood, Who around him gladly fly To a bountiful supply. Back the husbandman returns, Where his fire now briskly burns. Where the partner of his joys — Rosy girls and healthy boys, Kneeling with him round the chairs, Seod to heaven their matin prayers; Thus the year with hiui begins, Thus the race to heaven he wins . MISCELLANY. Peter Pindar's opinion oj Cats and Dogs. I do not love a cat—bin disposition is meau and suspicious. A friendship of years is cancelled in a moment, by an accidental tread on his tail or foot —He instantly spits, rai-.es bis back, twirls his tail of malignity, and shows «ou, turning back as he goes off, a star ig vindictive face, full of horrid oaths and unforgiveness, seeming to say, “Perdition catch you! I hate you for* ever" But the dog is my delight; tread on his tail or foot, he expresses for a montent the uneasiness ot nis feelings ; hut in an instant the complaint is end ed. He runs round you; seems to de* clare his sorrow fo- complaining, as it was not intention*. ;v done, nay tn make himself the . agre<« >r; and begs, by whining* and Si kings, .hat bis mas ter will think no more of it. Many a time when Ranger, wishing for a little sport, has run to the gun, smelled to it, then wriggling his tail, and w ith his eyes full of the most ex pressive fire, leaping up against me, winning and begging, have I, against »ny inclination, indulged him with a scamper tlunugh the woods, or in the fields; for many a time has he left a warm ne.st, among theso nvg of winter, to start pleasure for me. Thus there is a moral obligation between a man and r dog. —— With by much the greater part of mankind friendship means absolutely nothing;a trafic of interest or \anity • a league of knave* and fools—of shar pers; a party of pleasure, made in tlie morning, and broken olf with disgust at niglil; bo agreement to travel in a pCst chaise dissolve'll a» tlie first ion by a squabble abont the reckoning; a the atrical exhibition where (he tw«. heroes strut about, and mouth thsir parts, and then retire t>; undress and abuse each other io the green room. But the worst is, that men of more ingenuous minds nod liheiul character ure not entirely exempt from the general laws, 1 f neither interest nor any other pas. fcioti intervenes, still there wiIi be dif ferent points of view from which they consider the same object; and dissimi lar perceptions can never he reduend to aujr common measure. Even men of this description are subject to their passions, though of a noble nalnre, and their passions, are continually busy to alter the colors and magnituds of eve ry object tlrep consider, Negroes for Hire, i A 8 Age>.t for Mrs. Mary Carter, of . a ttu hmoocj County, I shall offer for Hire, before my Office door, on Tuesday the \5fh day of January, 1822, •ib ui I11K l Y NKUROES, consisting •»f Men, Women.
