Messrs. Russell & Davis,
You will gratify one friend, at least, should
you admit my feeble attempt toa hum
ble place in the Tender Norfery ofyour Par
naffian Field—not as claiming attention for
its neatness or poetic (üblimity—but as the
artless tribute of a feeling heart, to the ac
eomplifhed; generous, tender-hearted Lau
ra, for her sympathetic, god-like consolato
ry letter, long since received by the author of
this scrap—who is a Child and Heir of Sor
row and Misfortune.

To T/MCRUSTr.
My dear Mr Crufty, , ,
I READ, lafl week, your Jad complaint,
And, la ! italmo/i made me faint ;
Tojeeyou plungid in galpb def,air,
And bow,ou kick'd and scrabbled there.
O if you bad only let me know,
I'd bad you thirty years ago ;
When I was blooming bright as May,
Andyou were young, and /pry, and gay.
Pm fare it's wicked quite, and wrong.
That vise should live apartjo long ;
That we Jbould ferivel up and die.
And not " increase and multiply"
The wifefl jure, and Jirf command,
That we todo should take in band.
" You'r not the fame you us'd to be"—
Well—just so, fir, it is with me —
I've Jearce a tooth in all m, bead,
And onefaet only to my bed.
M, face bus forty wrinkles in't,
My cap and bennet out of print.
But, fir, what,ou refolds t, do,
I'm jure I like as well as you ;
And cannot think what barm 'twould be, :
Should,ou conclude to marry me.,
Should,ou be either deaf or dumb —
I'd cureyen up for time to come ;
In flocking boles I'd take up fitches,
And wajbyour jhirt, and mend,our breeches ;
Na,, make your bed, and keep out cold,'
And tuck,ou up,when,ou grow old; f
I'd make you look so [mart and clever,
You'd want to live with me forever. #
But, don't, dear, pray don't bang,ourfelf,
Pd rather baveyou twice, by half;
No, stare the ufeof rope or garter, )<
Nor drown—to goto UnL,d, water.
But pluck up courage—furs I'll trust ye,
And change my name to Bett Y Crusty ;
I'll then, forfake,frbymy tinkle,
Subjeribe myfelf,yours —

A SCOTCH parson, in a babling

SERVILIUS GEMINUS, a Roman wit,
said to L. Mallius, a celebrated painter. You
paint better than you model, pointing to
Mallius's children, who were crooked and

—I paint in the day light ; but I model, as
you call it, in the dark !
