Thoſe who can but ill afford to maintain their children, have now an opportunity of binding them to a trade which muſt, in a few years, be peculiarly beneficial to them and advantageous to their country.
Mr. Erving will thank thoſe that have an inclination to put their children out, to call on him, at his houſe, No. 42 Marlborough-ſtreet, Boſton, where they can be more particularly informed of the nature of the factory, and the advantages which muſt eventually accrue to their children from a general knowledge of this uſeful branch of buſineſs.

THE following lines were written in the Shop of the Subſcriber, by a ſon of St. Criſpin, viewing with contempt the tyrannical and oppreſſive dispoſition of a Man who has threat'ned vengeance on his neighbour's buſineſs, becauſe the article he deals in is SHOES.
Salem, 9th Mo. 6th, 1801.
Oh Shame! that Man a Dog ſhould imitate,
And only live, his fellow Man to hate.
An envious Dog, once in a manger lay,
And ſtarv'd himſelf, to keep an Ox from hay,
Altho' thereof he could not eat—
Yet if the Ox was ſtarv'd, to him 'twas ſweet.
His neighbor's comfort thus for to annoy,
Altho' thereby he did his own deſtroy.
Oh! Man, ſuch actions from the page eraſe,
And from thy breaſt malicious envy CHACE.
☞ Twenty per Cent was ſtruck off at one clip, from thoſe kind of Shoes, which are moſtly worn. It is fifteen months ſince the Shoe War commenced.
