what is "worse than poverty, that languor and wearinefs of 

 life, which must infest minds that are vacant, or em- 

 ployed only in brooding over their own misfortunes. 



TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



The observations of Timothy Tl. underproof 3.K received, and fliall appear 

 as sonn as convenient. 



The interesting communication hyJV.IV.h come to hand, and ih.)!! 

 have a place in due course. If the authir could supply the date of the 

 letcer, and the name of the place where written, it would render it still 

 more valuable. The oher paper fliall be sent as desired, with some pri» 

 vate notices concerning it. 



The Editor regrets that the elaborate performance with the signature 

 At'tiphen does not suit his miscellany. It will be left at the Office till 

 called for. 



Rust'uus is rather too harfli in some of his exprefiions. His efsay pof- 

 Sefses merit; and if put into a more engaging drefs it Aall have a place. 



The spirited letter of W. S- fhould certainly have had a phce vei^y 

 early, were not the Editor determined to avoid altercation and long d'S- 

 putes. He agrees entirely with the writer, in thinking that it is prema- 

 ture to form a judgement, at present, as to the events to which his letter 

 relates. It will be time eno.igh to decide on the tendency of the me.isureg 

 niw going forward after these troubles (hall subside, when some light may 

 clear up the chaotic mafs which is in such high agitat'on at present. At 

 that time, or on any other subject, the Editor will be glad of this gentle* 

 man's correspondence. 



The verses by Marina are too defective m their present drefs for publi- 

 cation. Why did not the friend of this young writer revise the lines, 

 which are not destitute of merit, before they were sent away • 



The Editor is much obliged to a Shoemaker fox his oblig'ng verses j but 

 they are too h'ghly complim'-ntary for publication. 



The lines by Zachary Boyd are received. That kind of burlesque dosa 

 Hot suit the views of the Edit 't.
