Parnaffian Spring.
ODE on the MORNIN G.
ARISE, my foul, survey the morn,
And purple beauties of the dawn,
n order as they fliine :
The herbs that with the dewdrops glow,
The grass, the Ihrubs, the flow'rets Ihow
Their Maker all divine.
Hark, how the warbling feather'd throng
Now tune their foft melodious song,
From ev'ry leafy spray ;
The back-bird here with mellow throat,
find there the thrush with fofter note,
In concert pour the lay
Do then, my foul, responsive join,
Ambitious of a theme divine,
And sing thy Maker's praise :
Unnumber'd objects he {applies
For contemplation's wond'ring eyes,
And all the mule's lays,
%b&vab! thy all forming hand
The world produc'd ; at thy command
That world shall melt away ;
Soon the arch angel's trump (hall found,
The starting dead Ihall cleave the ground,
And graves admit the day.
But yonder glitt'ring orbs of light,
That now diftinguilh morn from night,
No more shall shed their rays.
Then shall break forth a beam divine,
And then the light himfelf shall Ihine
In one eternal blaze.
ON E evening at Button's coffee-houfe, Mr.
Pope, who was remarkably crooned, and a
fe< of literati, poring over a manufeript of the
Greek poet Aristophanes, found a passage they
could not understand. A young officer, who Rood
by the fire, begged that he might be permitted to
look at the passage, 'Oh !' fays Mr. Pope far
' caftilally, 'by al! means, pray fatisfy the young
6 gentleman's curiofity.' The officer, confiderng
a while, said that there only wanted a note cf
interrogation to make the passage intelligible.
Piqued at being outdone by a redcoat, 'Pray'
' fays Mr, Pope, 'what is a note of interrogation ?
6 A note of interrogation,' replied the youth, " is
' a little crooked hin? h^ alks qurftions."

AN usurer, having 101 l an hundred pounds in
2 bag, promised a reward of ten pounds to
the person who should restore it. A man having
brought it to him, demanded the reward. The
usurer, loth to give the reward now that he had
got the bag, alleged after the bag was opened,
that there were an hundred and ten pounds in it
when he loft it. The usurer being called before
the judge, unwarily acknowledged, that the seal
was broken open in his prefene, and that there
Were no more at that time but a hundred pounds
in the bag. " You fay," fays the judge, "that
the bag you loft "had a hundred and ten pounds
in it. 3 "Yes, my Lord." ''Then," replied
the judge, 'this cannot be your bag, as it contained
' but a hundred pounds. Therefore, the plain
'tiff mutt keep it till the true owner appears :
'and you must look for your bag where you can

ANECDOTE of a neiv made Justice.
A new-.aade 'Juftice of the Peace, in order to
qualify himfelf for difeharging the duties of his
office, pored over some old law-books, in one of
which he found an ad, inflicting a penalty on
fach persons as should ' Fire any Beacon,' which
he unfortunately read, 'Fry any Beacon.' His
worlhip, a few days after th ; s difeovery, riding
through a village, caught a poor woman in the
very ati of frying some ralhers for ner dinner :
jealous to fulfil his duty, he caused her immedi
ately to be apprehended and committed to prison,
and at the next quarter sessions had her brought
forth and arraigned for that offence ; when an
explanation took place, greatly at the expence of
his worfhip's erudition, and to the no small diver
sion of a crowded court.
