, Why, then, fir, we Jbook him once.":—" Sb%h
him ? what! (hake a patient ! why, ajhale won't

A horfc-jockey fold a mare, as found wind
and limb, and without fault. It afterwards ap
pcared that the poor bcafl could not fee at all
but of one eye, and was almost blind of the
other; The purchaser finding this, made heavy
tomplaints to the dealer, and reminded him,
that he engaged the mare to he without fault —
, To be sure," returned the other, " to be fore
I did, but then my dear, the poor crater's blind
ness is not her fault, but her misfortune."

—o—
— Cowiey, fofr in am'rous verse,
The rovings of his love rehearse,
With paffioa mod unruly;
Boall how he woo'd sweet Amoret,
The fobbing Jane, and sprightly Bet,
The lily fair, and smart Brunette,
In sweet succession, truly.,
11.
But lift, ye lovers, and you'll swear,
I rov'd with him, beyond compare,
And was far more unlucky.
For never yet, in Yankee cqaft,
Were found such girls, who so cobld boast,
An honed lover's heart to roast,
From Calco to Kentucky.
111.
When firft the girls nicknam'd me beau,
And 1 was all for dress and ffiow,
1 set me out a snorting.
A romping miss, with hcedlefs art,
Firll caught, then almost broke, my heart,
Miss Conduct nam'd : we soon did party
I did not like such fportiug.
A thoughtless girl, just in her teens,i
Was the next fair whom love, it, seems,
Had made me prize most highly.
4 thought to court a lovely mate ;
But, how it made my heart to ache;
It was that jade, the vile Miss Take;
In troth, love did it Aily.
VI.
Atlaft, Miss Fortune, whimpering, came,
Cur'd me of love's tormenting flame,
And all my beau pretences.
In widow's weeds, the prude appears;
See now—she drowns me with her tears,
With boney fifts, now cuffs my ears,
And brings me to my senses,
IV.
The next coquet, who rais'd a flame,
Was far more grave, and fomewhac lame,
She in my heart did rankle.
She conquer'd, with a sadden glance,
The fpiteful slut was called Miss Chance;
I took the gypsy out to dance ;
She almost broke my ankle.

LOUIS; Duke of Orleans, thus ek
preffed the delight he found in
piety and devotion :—“ I know by
experience, that sublunary grandeur,
and sublunary pleasure, are delusive &
vain ; and are always infinitely below
the conceptions we form of them : but
on the contrary, such happiness, and
such complacency may be found in de
votion and piety, as the sensual mind
has no idea of."
