/, ALMORAiFTTeLIZ A,
WITH A HEART OF ICE.
^T—\ * ===
1 HE Poets, when they paint a pair
Os perfea lowers, urge their care,
grus them mutual charms';
If dytng foftnefs seize tbe fair,
The swain must fare, with languid air,
Dffilve into her arms.
Na, all, who write, and all, Woread, \
In this one point, are fill agreed^
Which proves the maxim right,
That real LOVE is only found,
Where correspondent tafles abound,
And hearts are formed alike.
The man of sentiment and safe.
Mufl choose him, if be wife to ,leafs,
Afentimental wife; ',
While air, Ka t£ will have her beau,
'STo trip it, " with fantastic toe,"
Adown the dance of life.
Almoran's heart is wrapt inflames ;
No blood runs riot through ,our veins,
But all is calm and pure ;
Hearts oppofae can ne'er befriends ;—
#e now takes back bis own —and Jends
This COUNTERPART of yours.
This heart, be knows, will fait your worth;
He's tried the merit of them both,
With calculation nice ;
Both, when be fivered by your fide,
And, with bis fingers be applied,
To feape tbe expressive ICE. S.
To a Widow Lady.
o,<o<&«X
REGARD tbyjelf, nor think to live alone;
Afingle bappinejs was never known.
Communicative must our pleasures be ;
Virtue and nature in this point agree :
Even paradife, noparidife was found, -
'Till beautious Eve,,the bright El,fam crown'd.
The widow's flat?, a widower btf can write ;
The lonejonyfaay! the melancholy night !
The freftqqjigb ! the jolitary tear,!
Dull repetition,, fare futceeding case
Gloom wrap; the foul, no gleam, ofj, are fem,
No pleafng dalliance, to remove tbe spleen; '
No grateful intercourse, to raise the Jmile;
No eye meets eye, our sorrows to beguile ;
No tender looks when we with borne may part,
No rapture on returning meets the heart ;
No partner in distress to Sympathize,
No friend in difficulty to advise.
To chafeour doubts, our zealreanimate, ' '
And help to ft us for a future Hate. - |
Then bear the voice of truth—commence a wife;
Love is the glory and the balm of life.
Conjider age creeps on, and feafens fy, 1
Ob! let ut catch theblifs before we dieF +

''THOU God above, on whom all-States depend,
Who knoweft from the firft, their rife and end;
If there's a day mark'd in the book of fate,
When ruin must involve our infant flats,
* * «,*++***#** an d we,
Though born to Freedom, be no longer free, *
Let not a mobof miscreants seize tbe helm,
Nor felfyb upstarts league to rob the realm.
Let not— whatever other ill, assail !—
A paltry nflof Jacobins prevail.

HILARITY.
^^.=^==
A CERTAIN Libertine paid his
A. addrefo to a beautiful young
lady, who refuted to receive them, on
account of hi, licentious conduft.—
This made feme alteration io hit be
haviour, and the, with the greatest re
loft^ce,it last contented. He, how
ever, soon renewed hit old habit, when
one evening! finding him in good hu
mour, the reminded him of the violat
ed promises which he had made her.
True, Gys he, I hid nothing but death
ffiould separate us, and nothing else
ever (hall. Soon after, as they were
walking out, they met with a dead
horse io the road, when he, caking her
by the hand fays, "You go that fide,
and I will go this, only give your
hand." When they had got to the
middle of the horse, he stopped sud
denly and Laid, " I have fulfiled my
engagement , death at last feparatei
us; we part to meet do more" —
When fhiking her by the hand, he
left his astonished wife to find the way
home, where the has since lived in
peace and happineft.
A LADY of diftinaion in Scot
land, the Counted of Eglintoune, and
one of the greatest beauties in that
part of the kingdom, incurred the dis
pleasure of the Earl her husband, for
no other cause than that of having
brought him (even daughters, and no
son. His lordship even assured her,
that he was determined to sue for a
divorce. The lady replied, that he
should not be under the heceffity to
do that, for (he would readily agree
to a separation, provided he would
give her back what he had with her.
He, supposing (he meant only pecuni
ary affairs, assured her, (he should have
her fortune to the last penny. Na,
na, my lord, fays(he, that wonna do;
return me my youth, my beauty, and
my virginity, and dismiss me as soon
as ye please. His lordship being un
able to comply with this demand,
spoke no more of parting with his
lady ; and before the year expired,
(he was delivered of a son, who estab
lished the content of his parents, and
their affection for each other.

Something Marvellous.
C&; ; ALBANY, AUG. 4.
From a Correspondent at Catfill.
ASON of Mr, Daniel Hayton, qf
this place, a lad of about seven
years of age, a few weeks since, was
attacked by fix Owls, a small diftance *
from his father's house, in the wood,
—and although the lad was smart &
active for his age, these voracious
birds soon got the better of him, and
had already torn his face very badly,
when a negro girl came to his relief,
and with no inconsiderable trouble
beat off the Owls, and preferred his
•life."
The above ctreurnftance appears fo|
very extraordinary, that I have taken
the liberty of fending it to your press.
PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 16.
A few days ago, a gentleman was
amusing himfelf in (hooting squirrels,
about 5 miles from Salem, in Jersey
state—aster having difeharged his gun
at one of those animals, he was sud
denly attacked by a furious black 1
bear, which rushed from a thicket a
bout ten yards from him, growling
most hideoudy.
The gentlemanimmediately fought
his fafety, by the nimbleneh of his
heels, having in his fright dropt his
piece—the bear following him in a
kind, of running dance, sometimes on
his hind feet. The sportsman, almost
petrified with fear, his course being
flopped by a swamp, was obliged to
retrograde—which gave him an op
portunity of observing that the bear
carried the gun he had in the firft
moment of fear left behind him
and, menacing him in an attitude
which created suspicion, it recalled
the remnant of his reasoning faculties,
and seizing a huge branch of a tree,
he returned upon his antagonist. At
the firft blow he brought the monster
to the ground, which, after heaving a
heavy groan, seemed to struggle as in
the agonies of death.
Having soon after met with some
countrymen, and relating the story,
they returned to the spot. On exam
ining him, they found concealed in
the most artful manner, under a bru
in's skin, a Human Being, weltering
in his blood, from the contusion he
received on his head —They taifed
him up, and with the assistance of a
cordial, they brought him to himfelf.
It appears he is an unhappy mani
ac, who makes his periodical visits in
this city and neighbourhood, and that
this was his firft exploit in this new
charader.
O See the account of a great fchly
monster in the back country, whose
breath destroys thehuman race — The
bear that climbed up a tree after a
man and eat his feet cff— Or, the
wonderful story of a lad who was at
