LOVE ASLEEP.
Wake him not—he dreams of bliss,
His little lips put forth to kiss;
His arms entwined in virgin grace,
Seem link’d in beautiful embrace.
He smiles, and on hh opening lip
Might saints refresh and angels sip;
He blushes—’tis the rosy light,
That morning wears on leaving night.
He sighs—’tis not the sigh of wo,
He onlv sighs that he may know
If kindred sighs another move,
Tor mutual sighs are sighs of love.
He speak3—it is his dear one’s name—
He whispers—still it is the same—
The imprison’d accents strive in vain,
Thev murmur through his lips again.
He wakes—the silly little boy,
To break the mirror thus of joy !
He wake3 to sorrow, and in pain—
Oh Love! renew thy dreams again.

ted in the upper part of Fauquier county,
6 miles below Ashby s Gap, 51 from the
District of Columbia, and 60 from tre
dericfcsburgb, being a part of the tract on
which the subscriber resides. No land in
the state of Virginia affords more real in
ducements to purchasers than the forego
ing. It is remarkable for its fertility; if
abounds with rivulets and never failing
springs of delightful water, with the ad*
vantage of the considerable and beautiful
stream of Gap Run passing through it, af
fording vuluable seats for over shot mills
in a thick settled agricultural country,
with the advantage of Ashby’s Gap turn
pike road about 3 or 4 miles oft, which af
fords, at all seasons of the year, a great fa*
cil;‘y to the transportation of produce to
Alexandria. The country is as healthy as
any part of the Unifed States, and the
society as genteel and agreeable. There
is about one half of the above land clear
ed and well improved with plaster and
clover, capable of bringing great crops;
the balance heavily timbered with white
oak, red oak, and hickory. The above
2000 acres of land will be laid off in 8 lots
of about 250 acres each, and offered at
public sale, on the premises, to the highest
bidder, on the
Second Monday in May next,
which will be the 13th day ot the month.
One third of the purchase money will be
required, the balance in three payments of
3, 6 and 9 years, the purchasers giving
deeds of trust on the land, with bond and
approved security, bearing interest, and
the interest to be annually paid. No fur
ther description ot this valuable property
is supposed to be necessary, as the purcha
sers will, no doubt, judge for themselves
at the time ot its sale,
