Jonathan's COURTSHIP.
A Merry tale I will rehearfe,'
As ever you did hear, fir,
How Jonathan set out so fine
To fee his dearest dear, fir.
His father gave him a new suit,
When he was one and twenty,
Besides a prancing nagto boot,
And money fir in plenty.
And more than that I'd hate,Oil know,
That he had got some knowledge.
Enough for common use or fu, <
But had not been to college.
A hundred he could count, 'tis said,
And in the bible read fir,
And, by good chriftian parents bred,
Could almost fay the creed fir:
Out day his mother said to him,
" Come here, my son, come here,
Come fix you up so neat and trim, ,
And go a courting, dear."
Why wnat a plague does mother want,
I fnigs l dare not go, mam,
1 Iliall get funn'd, and then plague on't,
Folks will laugh at me so, mam.,
Pho ! pho 1 fix up, for you (hall go
And fee the deacon's Sarah,
„ 1 She has a great estate you know, fy
Besides Ihe wants to marry.
}Q She's got chintz gowns, & robbons fine,
And all things her befitting,
A cow, two sheep, pig, cat, cock, hen ;
And pad to ride to meeting.
Sojonathan I tellyou go,
, You'll never get more money,
And we will make a wedding cake
Amelias sweet as honey.
I wonder mother'll make me go,
When girls I'm so afraid on,
I never know'd nor want to know,
What fort of fluff they're made on.
Go Jonathan, you bafhful lout,
Don't let me longer teaze you,
'Twill tickle you amoft to death,'
When you find so Wil please you.
^ Then Jonathan in best array,. ^
Did mount his dapple nig, fir,
Buttrembted sadly alLthe way, ~
Left he should get the bag, fir.
When he came there, as people fay, ^
'Twas nearly eight o'clock, fir,
And Moll call'd out, walk in, Ifaj,
'As soon as he did knock, fir.
He made twixt two & three great bows,
Just as his mother taught bitn,
All which were droll enough to fee,
You'd tho't the cramp had can't him
Now this was all the manners he
From home with him had Gro't, fir.
To wit, of bowstwixt two and three,
The rest he had forgot, fir.
At length came in the deacon's Sall,
From milking at the barn, fir,
She was as plump a looking girl
As ever twiffe&yara, fir.
The ladies all, as I should guess,
, And many a lady's man, fir,
Will want to know about her dress,
/ I'll tell them all lean, fir.
Her wrapper grey, was not so bad,
Her apron it w?s blue fir,,
A flocking on one foot The had,
On t'other foot a (hoe, fir.
Now Jonathan did scratch his head,
When firft he Gw his dear, fir,
Got up, fat down, and nothing said,
~ Because he felt so queer, fir.
Then all the folks went off to bed,
It teems they took the hint, fir,
But Janathan was feme afraid,
Sail tho't the deuce was in 't, fir.
At. length fays §all, they're gone you fee
And left us here together—'
Says Jonathan, I thinks they be—
'Tis very pteafant weather.•
Sall cast a fheep'seye at the dunce,
And fat towards the fire,
He mufter'd courage all at once,
And hitch'd a little nigher.
Ye young men all, and lads so smart,
Who chance to read these verses,
Learn you his next address by heart,
To whisper to the lasses.
Why Sall I's going to fa, as bow,
You'll flay with me to night,
I kind-o'-love,ou Sall, I (wow,
And mother said I might.
iWell done, fays Sal,you've broke the ice
With very little pother,
-- Now. Jonathan take my advice,
1 And always mind your mother.
Then Jonathan, as we are told,
Did even think to smack her,
Sall cock'd her chin and look'd so bold,
He didn't dare attack her.
The fellow wish'd he could retreat.
But durst not make a racket,
It teem'd as if his heart Would beat
/ The buttons off his jacket.
Well Sall, I'll tell you what, fays he,
, If you will have me now,
We will be marry'd then, you fee,
You'll have our brindle cow ;
And fatber'sgot a great bull calf,
Which you shall have I vum—
~* Tell him, fays Sall, he'd best by half,
Keep his bull calf at home.
Now Jonathan felt rather bad,
Hetho't ihe meant tojoke him,,
And though he was a sprightly lad,
His courage quite forfook him.
Sall aik'd him if his heart was whole ?
His chin begun to quiver—
He did n't know,; he felt so droll,
Heguefs'd he'd loft his liver.
Now Sall was fear'd out of her wits,
To fee bis trepidation,
She bawl'd be'sgoing into fits !
Then fcamper'd like the nation.
A pail of water (he did throw
All on her trembling lover,
Which wet the .lad from top to toe,
Like a drown'd rat all over.
Then Jonathan he hurried home,
And since I've heard him brag, fir,
That tfr the jade did wet him some,
He didn't get the bag, fir.
PoLmc^™^ncLE.
LONDON, March i 2.
Mr. Grey established the ve
ry strong fa&s which he under
took to present to the house of
Commons beyond the power of
refutation. He proved these
points:
That above seventy seven
millions, eight hundred thou
sand pounds of debt, incurred
by the present war, has already
been funded.
That twenty tow millions, re
frs and unfunded ;
and that this sum of an hundred
million, had been squandered
in the three firft years of the
war -
This was more than double
the eXpenfe of any three years
of any war in which this coun
try was ever engaged.
I That of this fem, almost as
much has been spent without
estimate, and confcquently with
out authority ofthe Parliament,
as with it.
That barracks were built up
for an army of 40,000 men, to
be kept up in time of peace.
That by the new system, the
peace establishment could not be
less than twenty millions per an
num.
That the permanent revenue j
was not likely to be more than ;
19,500,0001.
That consequently if peace
were made to-morrow, inde
pendent of winding up the war
expenses, there must be addi
tional taxes to the amount of a
2,c00,0001. to carry on the peace.
That, in direct violation to the provision
of the ad of queen Anne, which declares, if
the tank should advance money to govern
ment without grants from parliament, they
should forfeit treble the sums advanced, min
isters had procured large sums of money in
advance from the bank.
That they had artfully smuggled into ah
aft, a clause repealing the wholesome provis
ion in the aft of queen Anne, and that now
the bank was in advance the enormous sum
of 11,800,000!.
ROBBERY.
f)N Tuefday morning, between 10 and
Ul2 o'clock, a ftnare of glass was
broken, by some person or perlons,
(who must be of the most realty infamous
cbaraHers in the fociet, of man) and the
Mujeum robbed of between 12 and 20
ver, valuable fiver antique coins and
medals— amongst wbicb I can recoiled
one of Oliver Cromwell's coins, on one
fide the figures of two hearts, motto,
Commonwealth of England, on the re
verse, God with us, aver, plain crown
of Charles the second, a crown of Louis
XV. the others I cannot recoiled among
so large a coMeßion, but the, were all
conjidered great curioJities„he arrange
ment of the coins is temporary, and al
though in its infancy, conjiffs of fever al
hundreds of different kinds.—Should
Coins of this description be offered for
sale, I fall be very thankful if they ma,
be, opped, and information given to me.
This is the second time ,he Museum has
been robbed of coins and medals—very
ft ri ,k f*fpici° n is entertained agaioff
three ver, particular persons who were
in the Museum most of the forenoon
when the robber, was committed, and I
hope a candid confeffion will take place,
wbicb wiII prevent expofare ; and in
that case, 1 pledge m, honor, the mo,
profound secrecy fall be objerved.
GARDINER BAKER,
Proprietor of Tammany Museum,

0 All the Printers in the U. States
are jolicitcd to re publish this adverfife
me,t, as the coins may be offered for sale
in other par# of tie Union, b, doing
which, the, will do much in aiding an
infant inflitution—tbis is a kind of
peri, that mine, cannot replace.
