Thy homing Tongue, and doubtful Face,
Shew all tby kindness to be mere grimace :
Throw off tbeMajk ; at once be Foe, or Friend;
'Tie bast tofads when Malice is tbe End ;
The Rock that's Jem gives the par Sailor dread;
Bat double Terror that which bidet its Head.

TO fee a Lady of such grace,

So slatternly, is Locking ; „
Oh ! if you would with Venus vie,
Your Pen and Poetry lay by.
And learn to mend your Stocking.
fffy CONSULTATION
THREE Doaors met in Confutation
Proceed with great deliberation ;
The Case was defoerate all agreed ;
But what of that ?—they must be fee'd ;
They write then, as 'twas fit they fhou'd,
But for their own, not Patient's good ;
Consulting wifely, don't mistake, Sir,
Not what to give, but what ty|#§&

HILARITY.
ON BRIBERY.
THE PIERIDES.
, country Constable attended a Court late
ly, when a Lawyer gave him a Writ to serve
on one of his Neighbours, telling him to be
fare and lay it on strong.——The Constable,
well plcafed to think he had got into the execu
tive Department, hurried home to secure his
Fee ; and not finding his Victim at Home,
he determined to secure his Property ; he en
quired of the Man's near Neighbour if such &
such Things were his Property, and being as
sured they were, he got into a Pen where was
aNumber of fine fat Hogs—he drove them in
to a Corner, drew his Writ from his Pocket,
and just as he was beginning to read, one of
the nogs attempted to run by him, but he,
being quick of Thought, clapt the Writ on
the Hog's Back, exclaiming, with loud Voice,
You are m, Prisoner, d—n,e!
A pious old Gentleman was
once reproving a profligate young
Hairbrain, and told him that he
loved his Cards twice as well as
he did his Bible : " You mistake,
Sir, laid the Fellow, if bard Us
age is a Mark of Dislike, or tender
Forbearance a Token of Love ;
for lam very choice of my Bible,
and have laid it away witb tbe ut
most Care(bo,and my Cards I—-"
(From fir, Page.)
yet, there are prominent Features in
some Opinions which cannot be mis
taken, and I maintain, that the publick
Servant ought to use every Means in
his Power to become acquainted with
them.
The President has no Opportunity
of judging of these at his levees. The
Conversation there is confined to "I
hope you are well, Sir :" " 1 thank
you,how do you do " The Weath
er Is surprisingly mild for the Season,
&c." At his Dinners to publick Cha
raders, as little ; the Invitation, the
meeting, the parting are all cold and
ceremonious, and tho' good Men and
great Men may fit hi bit "Table, yet
reserve gives the Tone to the Conver
sation, & the Time spent is loft Time.
I call this keeping unprofitable Com
pany.
The Company which the President
keeps in this way are very many of
them biaffed by those Foibles, which
are complained of by the People as
Blots upon his Reputation. An hon
oorable Member of the Congress, who,
in fine Weather, will gravely ascend
his equipage to turn a Corner and croG
a Street in order to make a cold Bow
to the President, will not fee the Ridic
ulousness of employing fix Hodci arid
as many Men to drag the President a
few Miles to take the Air; And if he
Contrasts! but Avaro is all this, nay
more ! He has Wealth enough to car
ry several Families comfortably and
genteely through the Journey of Life
and yet he can afford himfelf but a
scanty Allowance, and a mean Liveli
hood. Though heaps of Gold lie all
around him, he dares not touch it.—
He's miserably in want and cannot re
lieve himfelf.—This Animal has all
the external Appearance of a Christian,
but not possessing the least Grain of
Chriftanity, justly merits the Appel
lation of a baptifed Heathen. —Thus
these Contrails being jumbled togeth
er, —make that odd Composition—A
Miser. ' ' '"
did remark the Absurdity of this Piece
of stately Vanity, much less would he
mention it.
Let the President, leaving this Cir
cle of Cringers and Mimicks, mix
with his Fellowcitizens ; thole who can
tew him yet, undazzled by his Power,
but refpea in him the Man of their
Choice, and he will find, he will be/
told that Levees and publick Dinners
add nothing to his Consequence in the
Eyes of his Fellowcitizens ; that, tho'
Ihew and splendor may be Necessary
to preserve the Dignity of Royalty, yet
that Simplicity ought to the boast of
Republicans, and that merit alone can
obtain and secure the Esteem of Free
men. SIDNEY.
