_An exceeding good opportunity for parents_ (in these very expensive times for every necessary of life) _to provide their children with good and comfortable maintenance, cloathing, schooling, and a trade, but little known and understood in this country._ MR. ERVING proposes to receive as Apprentices to the Cotton & Woolen Manufactory (now going on at New-Haven) any number of Boys or Girls, from the age of ten to fourteen. They will be instructed in all the various branches of the factory, well cloathed and fed, and taught to read, write and cypher; and parents may be assured that the most particular attention will be paid to the morals, as well as to the education, of their children. 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.

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.
