And the iicrccncls of tcmpeiis, and iro/is to defv, I have weekly your keen curionties fed, Brought reliefs for the heart, and recruits for the head. To the Statesman how bountiful are my .sup])lits ! Revolutions, their i auses — all <)ucsses and lies. And a mystical phrase, thats sheer iionsene, or prate, To the sapient Qiiid-Ai/iic shows secretij of state. At Ele6\ionSj what ofTicc so useful as mine ? How else would the Candidate work his design ? True, the Printer can give Km pntc/ice an impression. An indelible mark to ea( h slippery profession ; Yet his ofl'er of service, l)ut for me to transfer it, Had rcmain'd a.s unknown as his parts, or his merit Then with A'cic-Iiiii/iyLcick politics always replete. With Jlliais, Creun, Jiniciis, I treat ; The Citizen, Customer, Job, Phil' yl^ric ; Friend, 'True-Friend, and Freeholder, just in the nick : Nor are Qu,d-I\'u/a; and Jl/'red, or Hhpplio rc'icfUd, Altho' most men lament a chaste muse thus infeflcd ; Of their relative worth, all agree, the right tell Is number and length — and the smallehthe Left. In private life also, my aid's of great price. Of bargains and sales I give early advice. Into most of the Shops, in my round, take a peep, See whose Goods are freshest and whose are most i 'icr.p. Try the n-ign, boiniels, dresses, from I-ondon iniporlt d ; Know who were last married, and who arc now courted. And with News like the last, or the birth of a son. The Maidens salute me with '• Charles, i/cu run" But, with wings to my feet, if I fly, with a tale "| Of a beauty cast oMj or of \irt'ie too frail, V 'Tis always '■ u-hy, Charles, ijou move like a snail." J Then again, to suit men of all sorts and conditions, I come charg'J with Jurtions, and Sales on Commissions ; With arrivals, and entries, mthjreit^hls a farrago, Unadulterate :ci/ies, choicest rum of 'J'olago : Romances and Ijil/les, books of j)alm'stry and i)rayer. And ponders will serve for the teeth, face, and liair. For lechers \c\sA jioems, select lujmns for Saints, Plumes, pearl-pins, pomatums, pe-'umcs, plajltrs, paints, Teas, calicoes, hraudij. gin, si,u(f, and tobacco. From the malers at Musquash, Manowagnish, Quacco. Bon Mots, from Joe MiMrn, and yluecdotes follow. And for Masters and Misses, the Court of Jpollo. For the.se, and more blessings, conferred on the town, I Charles, Aezcs-carrier, claim the renown. What, tho' now, to myself I this monument raise ! Ne.\t season, I'll (ing of your bountv and praise. That my office is useful, I think, must appear, 1 To my conduct, my patrons wiil not prove severe, \- And accej)t my best pray'rs for a happy New -Year. J X^JJl-CL ^r. Jom, {New-Brunsu-iclc,J 1st.
