Mssrs Edifms--Suifcr the humble writer of
none would more unwillingy "wouud the. feel
in-s of the fair" than he. fever such charge
could be applied to any of his eiiiisions, he IS
unconscious Of his guilt. If in thc following
lines, single word is contained, which would
convey the least improper idea, he is ignorant
of it. Permit him to add, in the sincerity of
his heart that he abhors, as much as any one
can, any composition, prose or p1etry,--ne
matter on what subiect--which colta,ns indel-
icate or immoral allusions: for, he sfuily aware
of their pernicious tenlency-and, no such com
position, however elegant its style, should be
countcnanced by publishers of Journals.


Yours &c. W. M.
TIE VISIT TO THE PRINTING OFFICE.
As when Apollo led the tinefil baud
Up Science hill, to view the flowry land,
And stops at Iiclicon, to take their fill
Of the pure stream that gurgled from the hill;
So "Master Samuel" as he led the throng
Of Wilmingtonia's beauteous maids along,
Stopp'd on his road to learning, here to scan
The bold ingenious works of skilful man.
With smiling cheeks the lovely nymphs admire
Press the achIe sheet, and of the cause inquire
Mark the impressions which the types impart,
As virthe's signet stamp the unstain'd heart.
The modest JULIA, whose exalted mind
Receives impressions, as the sheet, rcfin'd;
inquiries of all the "Curious Art' unfolds,
And thanks for all her bcautcous eye beholds.
And Miss K-R--, intelligbly hics
Around, and feasts her intellectual eyes;
Pleasing are pieas'd, and urge their gentle


claims,


To view, in type, their lovely female names.
Miss A-no less her modest praise bestows
On all the treasures which the art disclose:
inquiries when first the noble art began
What place invented-by what magic man.
Miss E-J-, anxious to ,mridde all,
Surveys, with curious eye, the pond'rous bell,
And seems surprised, to view it swiftly whirPd,
Like the full moon, revolving round the world
Miss P, tho last, not least, in her desires
To comprehend the art she much admircs,
Now seeks to anaze the sable ink,


And types, compos'd of bislnuth, lead and zinc
The muse has not half sung the youthful dame:
For want of knowing their respective names'
But STILL the muse the need shall give to none
Unless to alto each--to er'ry one.
Still may Columbia's lovely female race,
With Arts and Science seek their minds t
| grace;


And TV7lmiagfon-O may thy fame arise,
With 'Master Samuel" tow'ring to the skies
