The length of his piece precluded our inferting the whole of it this month, and a divifion of it we judged would but detract from its merits. R. will find we have not neglected him. His other favour shall have a place as foon as opportunity prefents. The Poetic Epifle from a gentleman in the country to his friend in NewYork, has not fufficient merit for publication. The defcription of his fituation in the country will serve to characterise the performance: We have received a note from the gentleman of whose faw-mill a pretended delineation and account appeared in our laft magazine, informing us, that both the delineation and account are in every particular erroneous: that the fubjoined ftory of the bear, its tail, and its cubs, is too foolish and improbable for even Credulity herfelf to credit: and that the author, whether he defigned the whole as an affront or a compliment, was certainly exceedingly reprehenfible in affixing the initials of the gentleman's name to a drawing he never faw, and by the fame means announcing him the author of observations he would blush to be fuppofed capable of forming. The Editors of the New-York Magazine are ever grateful for any favours from their ingenious correfpondents. They certainly conceived the view and anecdote mentioned in the preceding paragraph as worthy of notice, and fuppofed them to come from the quarter whence they have often received fimilar favours. They are forry to infert any thing that has the leaft tendency to difplease any one. The initials of the perfon's name who fent the drawing and account of the mill, may poffibly be the fame with those of the gentleman who complains of it; and in fuch case no one can think him reprehenfible for ufing them. As this, however, is not the firft complaint of the kind, the Editors wish that in future correspondents would fix upon fome fignature not already ufed. Trifling as fuch things may appear, fill it is unpleasant to moß <writers, efpecially where two or more initials of the fame kind occur.
