SUNDAY REFLECTIONS.
THOUGH the king of 'errors hourly e=-
X tends his conquests over all fortsand con
[ ditions of men, who are all made of th'e fame
mould, and must all crumble into the fame dull ;
[ tho' this day, perhaps, one friend mournfully
Ifollows another to his long home ; and when a
R few glasses more are ran, others attend him to
■ the like melancholy mansion of the dead ; tho'
Bwe frequently fee fomp leaving this world in
Bpeir full ftrepgth And vigor, wholly at ease and
■°i et ; and though we often fee thofc go firft
the grave that came last from the womb ;
nctwithftanding the many and constant
■ummonfes to think seriously of this great
■change ; with what unaccountable folly do the
"generality of mankind, cheat themselves out bt
an eternity of bliss in another world, ty their
fuprce neglect of a timely preparation for their
last hour. Death creeping upon them under
such circumstances, how importunately do they
then apply to Heaven in words like thpfe of the
distressed Psalmist . 0 spare me a 'little, that I
may recover myfelf before Igo hence and am here no
more.

TWO scholars, being at a tavern, fell a talk
ing, in presence of their host, of the great
platonic year ; in which, they said, after thirty
thousand years every thing fnall revert to its
former Hate. The host seeming much pleased
with the novelty of the idea, one of them said
to him, that feeing every thing was in thirty
thousand years, to revert to its present condi
tion, they hoped he would tiuft them till then
and they would pay him most faithfully. The
host, who was a shrewd fellow, replied, Gen
tlemen, I tuill <ruft you with all my heart ; but ds
thirty thousand years ago you must have been just this
sum in my debt, I mull infylon being paid' tbatff.

An underwriter at Lloyd's being informed
that a certain (hip (on which he had written
pretty largely) was in jeopardy, exclaimed—
jeopardy ! jeopardy! what part of the world
is it in ? Near Gibraltar, I suppose. However,
I'm glad to hear fhe's in any port, for I thought
it was all over with her.
