610 ADDITIONS to DECEMBER, &c.

many of them now ufing them, and find-
ing them easier to be drawn, and lets
hurtful to their grounds and roads, which
the nobility and gentry must also be ex-
perienced judges of, by using them in
their parks, lawns, and meadows; nor
would the regulation propofed answer un-
lefs made univerfal..

The streets of London will alfo re-
ceive a confiderable advantage, nothing
being more obvious than that heavy
weights, and narrow wheels, tear up and
ruin the pavement, cause a great expence
to the inhabitants, and is a conftant in-
convenience to all paffengers by the many-
ftops and obftructions the frequent mend-
ings create: Whereas broad wheels would
have a contrary effect, by ramming down
the pavement, and making it firm and
durable.

This is no new fcheme, but the 'col-
lected opinion of many judicious perfons,
who, after having thoroughly weighed
and confidered it for fome years paft,
are quite convinced that no other pro-
pofal can truly answer the defired end
of extricating us out of thofe difficulties,
which the prefent most expensive and
ineffectual method has fuch numbers of
years involved us in. It is therefore
hoped, that the legiflature will take this
into their ferious confideration in the
approaching feffion of parliament.

BIRTHDAY.

OME, my mufe, prepare the lay,
Once more hail this happy day.

Bid it fhine o'er all the paft;
Brightest, fince it is the laft.
For her full meridian ray,
Soon must ficken, and decay:
See the haftens down the fkies,
In another sphere to rife ;
In a world unknown, untry'd,
Sets a maid, to rife a bride.

So the fun, with fplendid ray,
Having fhone his fummer's day,
Gilding all the groves and plains,
Drops at length the golden reins,
And night's curtain round him spread,
Hides his beams in Thetis' bed.
