PARTING WITH MY DEAREST. - 
A gONGs > : 
QO! I could Jeayve for evermore 
My kindred and relations ; 
And, blest with him whom I adore, 
Could roam thro’ foreign nations. 
For, what are friends to lovers true ? 
Or dangers the severest! 
My heart will break to bid adieu, 
In parting with my dearest. 
YT dare novfallow where he ZOES, 
Yet cannot live behind him: 
May Heaven protect him from his foes, 
And guide my steps to find him. 
For I can live in toil and care, 
And dangers the severest ; 
But, like the wailings of despair, 
~ ds parting with my dearest. J. MAYNE.

MARIA. 
ON yon bleak barren rock by the shore 
Where sweetly the silver waves glide, 
Matia would sit and explore 
And watch the last ebb of the tide. 
O’er her bosom, the mansion of woe, 
Hung display’d by the moon’s paley beam, 
-The sorrowfui token below, 
That reflected her love in the stream. 
- 
Patents lately Enrolied, 
Like dew-drops distill’d from the willow §. 
All bewilder’d her eyes spoke her fears 
- That water’d her celd flinty pillow. 
As she gaz’d, thus in sorrow’s deep mood,. 
© Q heav’ns! *tis my Henry,” (she cried) —« 
*Twas his image that mov'd in the flood ; 
She saw it, and sunk down,.and died. _

-ON THE DEATH OF AN INFANT. 
Go, spotless babe! to realms of pure delight 
Thy soul from earth now takes its airy 
flight 5 
Emblem of Innocence! how short thy stay, 
Scarce Heav’n had giv’ne=than Death has 
snatch’d away ! 
Thy mother’s darling, and thy father’s care, 
_ The first dear object of their ewry pray’r’: 
How.oft enrapturd o’er thee have I hung, 
The half-form’d accents trembling on thy 
tongue ! ; Boe 
With eager kisses seal’d my soul’s pute flow, 
Ye blest of Heav’n these softer raptures kiow! 
But now no more Rosanna’s charms can move, 
Those lips of coral, and those looks of love, 
Can to my breast its wonted thrill impart, 
Arrest the sense, and seize upon the heart! 
Yet, why repine?*T was Heav’n ordain‘d it soy 
And. thus shall vanish all of earth below.. 
Thou baubler, Man ! tho’ longer is thy date 
Than was my babe’s! prepare to meet thy fate; 
Thou and thy juggling toys must to the tombs 
‘Te share a life of bliss—or everlasting gioom!

MR, JAMES HALL’S, (ASTBURY, CHE- 
‘suiRe,) for @ Method of making Shi- 
vers and Pulley-wheels, of every de- 
. scription, from certain Materials: or 
Compositions of Earth and Minerals, 
which. render the said Articles more 
durable then such as are made in Wood 
ie Melabe Fin they» 
“FP AHUIS invention consists in taking any 
clay or earth that contains alo- 
mine, silex, or calcareous earth, or any 
one of them, which is to be mixed with 
powdered calcined ivon-stone, or iron 
ore and powdered granite, or any pow- 
dered vitrifiable stone, whether calcined 
or not, and to be made into paste with 
water, and blended together and tem- 
pered into a mass, and formed into the 
shiver, wheel, &c. by means of a mould, 
or by. any other modes used in making ™ 
gurthen-ware,+ and the same is to~be 
_ el 
baked or fired in the usual way, na 
common petter’s oven, till it is become’ 
sufficiently firm and hard for the in- 
tended purpose. The different articles 
will require different degrees of heat pro- 
portioned to their substance, and to their | 
intended use. - 
rious proportions that may be used of - 
the different ingredients. . 
Although we are somewhat sceptical

composition for pullies, &e. to tron 
and bard wood, yet we will give the pros _ 
portions as they stand in the speci-— 
fication,
