POETRY.
From the Port' Folio.
A DIALOGUE between Pollio a,d Lydia,
imitatedft gm Horace, ode 9, lib. 3.
POLLIO.
V 7 HILST round thy neck his arms no rival
threw, ,f
Whffll Pollio only pleas'd thy partial eye.
On wings of down, th, golden moments flew,
And Perfobffimarfwas Id's Weft than I.
LYDIA.
/ Whilst you toplenfe your faithful Lydia ftrovo
Ere Sylvia's beauty chang'd thy fickle breast ;
Heav n knowshow much I priz'd my Pollio's
love.
For Ferfid's empress was not half so bkft.
POLLIO.
Now Sylvia to my heart alone is dear,
So fwect Hie pours the fuul-diffolving air •
For her not death kfeif would Pollio fear,
If pitying fate would fyarc the charming fair.
LYDIA.
For me young Damon breathes the tender sigh.
And iwcars eternal constancy and truth ;
. . a 6bou f a *d deaths would Lydia die
pitying fate would spare the lovely y^uth.
POLLIO.
But should 1 feel my former love return
And bind it faft with Hymen's silken' chain,
A h " d ' fmcd charms to mourn,
Arid clafo my Lydia in these arms again ?
LYDIA.
Though Damon as the morning star is fair
And you tempestuous as the raging fea,'
, He epnftant, you more fickle than the air,
With picture would I live, with pleasure die
with thec.

HARLES V. Etitperor of Germarty
E'"g °f Spain, and Lord of the Nether
lands, was born at Ghat in theyear 1500.
He is said to baste fought fist, battles, in
mod of which be was •AHorious ; to have
obtained fix triumphs, conquered fur king
doms, and to have added eight principalities
to his dominions. An abnoft unparalleled
srfar.ee of worldly prosperity, and the
greatnejs of human glory.
Hut all these fruits of his ambition, and
all the honours that attended him, could not
fell him true and solid fatifaffion. Re
fefting on the evils and mifcries which be
had occasioned, and convinced of the empti
ness of earthly magnificence, he became dif
gufed oith all the fplcndour that furrowd
ed him, and thought it his duty to with
draw from it, and spend the reJtofWs days
in religious retirement. Accordingly, be
voluntarily resigned all his dominions to hi,
brother and son ; and after taking an af
feftionate and lafl farewel of hisfn, and d
numerous retinue of princes and nobility
that attended him, he repaired to bis ebefen
retreat ; which was Jituated in a vale in
Spain of m great extent, watered by a
small brook, and surrounded with ri/ing
grounds covered with lofty trees.
A deep sense of bis frail condition and
great imperfections, imprefsd bi, mind in
this extraordinary reflation, and through
the remainder of his life. As soon as he
landed in Spans, he fell profrate on the
ground, and confdering bimfclf now as dead
to the world, be kissed the earth, and said,
<— '' Naked came I out of my mother's
womb, and naked I now return to thee,thou
common mother of mankind !”
In this humble retreat be occupied bis
time in religious exercises and innocent em
ployments ; and buried here, in solitude and
fierce, his grandeur, bis ambition, together
with all those vast projelh, which,for wear
half a century, had alarmed and agitated
Europe ; filing every kingdom in it, by
turns, with the terror of bis arms, and the
dread of being fubjefted to bis power. Far
frem taking any part in the political tranf
attions of the world,he refrained bis curiosi
ty even from any enquiry conce; ring them;
and be famed to view the busy feene which
be bad abandoned, with an elevation and
And after half a dozen fanzas wore, in which
With great ingenuity and delicacy, and yet in a
manner that expresses a fincereaffedion, (he
'quibbled on her sweetheart's name she conclud
ed thus:
You will bonder, my girl, who this dear one can be,
Wbofe merit can boaflfueb a conquest as me,; ',,
But youJbant know bis name; tbs' I Qldyou before
Ik begins with an M,but I dare not yay More.

A finiffied coquette, at a ball, aiked a gentle
man near hear, whilst She adjlifted her tucker,
whether he could flirt a fan, which the held in
her hand. "No madam," anfivered, he, pro

A learned lady once enquired, why chymif
try, geography, algebra, languages, &c. was not
as becoming in a, woman as a man. I will not
fay, replied a wit, that they are entirely unbe
coming, but I should think a very little of them
would answer her purpose. A woman's know
ledge of chymiftry, might extend to tbe melting
of butter; her geography,to a thorough acquaint
ance with every bole and corner is, the boufe; and
her algebra, to family expenses ; and as for
tongues, heaven knows, that one is enough in all
conscience.

BIR MINGHAM TEARS.
A few years ago, when Handel's I/Allegro
II Fenferofo was performed at Birmingham, the
paltagc mod admired was—
Such notes as Warbled to the firing,
Drew iron tears down Pluto's cheek.
The great manufacturers and mechanics of the
place were inconceivably delighted with this
idea, because, they said, they had never heard
of any thing in iron before, that could not be
made at Birmingham.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
From the Worcester Gazette.
As Dr. S. Field, of Oakbain, in this flats, was
riding to the offflance of a woman in dfirefs, be was
met by tuo young men , in a grave of woods, and ina
narrow p a foge, on tbeir return from u'muder, run
ning their borfa. The darknef of the m,;in coH
jur.aion with tbe gloomincfs of the grows, arid a turn
in tbe road, prevented tbe Doßor or tbe mdn that
was zuitb bim, from difsovering them till -witbin a
few rods. They both infantly criedwat and endea-'
vored to get out of tie path. Tbe men, tbougbtlefs of
tbeir own or others fafety, intent on their race, beard
nothing. As they poffed between tbe bosses, they
fruck both of them and th Dolor's bosfefeU. We
can give but an imperfect account of the tranfoaions
of tbe moment. Tbe man who rode awaiwfl tbe Doc
tor wasff difeoveredfandingeit a little dijiance, and
his borjefripped of bisfoddle. Tbe man who ac
companied the Dofferwas not flung from bis berfc ;
but was injured in one of his legs. He dismounted
and bofened to tbe solemn feene of dißrefs, where be
found tbe Doßcr lying on bis back, near tbe feet of
bis borfe, breathy. He raised bim up, and after
some time difeovered symptoms of life remaining. Up
on examination it was found be had fallen with tbe
back part of bis bead upon a rugged fone. Fortu
nately his bat hud not fallen from bis bead, but an
indfcn pas made through fa bet intoLirhad, and
tbefull fraaured. Let the feeling mindpißure tbe
«Wfof bis family at the tidings. He was con
veyed to an adjacent iboufe, where every medical af
ftfiance was procured. Tbe day following be was
conveyed back to. bis own bouf, where be gradually
declined until bis death.
