The Parnassian Field.
A LADY
to a Gentlem an, for whom she had con
ceived a Passionate Fondness.
D BAR Colli,prevent s, fond blufa^
Since bow can 1 /peak without pain';
M, eyes have oft told you their wifbes,
Ab! can't, ou their meaning explain.
M, pafon would left b, expreffon,
Id,ou too sight cretell, blame;
Then do not expea a conftfon 1
Os nvbat is too tender to name.
Sira,our, it the province tffpeaking,
Wb, Jbouldyou expea it of me ?
Our wishes fbould be in our keeping.
Till you tell its wbat the,fault be.
Then quickly why don't you difaver,
Did,our breast feel tortures like mini.
Eyes need not tell over and over,
What I in m, beJomjfffa,.•
THE ANSWER.
GOOD Madam, whenladies are willing,
A man mus needs look like a fool ;
Asfor me, I would not give a /billing
For one that is kind out of rite.
At leaf you might fta, for W, offer,
NotjnatArlike Old Maids in despair;
Ijyowv'e liv'd 10tbeje years without proffir.
Your figbs are now loft in the air.
You might leave me to guess by your blufoing,
And not /peak the matter so plain;
'Tie ours to pursue and be pushing —
'Tie yours to affiant disdain.
That,ou're in a pitiful taking.
By roll your fond ogling I fee ;
But the Fruit that will fall without Shaking,
Indeed is too mellow for me.
SONG.
YE fair married James, whoso often deplore,
That a lover once bleft is a lover no more ;
Attend to m, ceunfel, nor bluJb to be taught
That prudence mus cherife what beaut, has caught;
The bloom of,our check, and the glance of,our eye,
' Your rofa and lilies may make the men fgb; I
But roses and lilies, and figbs profs away.
And passion will die as,our beauties decay.
U[e the men tbatyou wed likeyourfav'rite guitar,
übough mafic in both, the, are both apt to jar ;
How tuneful and foft from a delicate touch,
Not bandied too roughly, nor play'd on 100 much!
The sparrow and linnet willfeed from,oar band,
Crow tame at, our kradnejsfA come or commatOTc
Exert with your bxjbahd thefame ba,„Jkill ;<
For hearts, like young birds, ma, be tam'd to, our
will.
Bega, and good- humor'd, complying and kind,
Turn the chief of, our care from, our face to your
mind^
'Tis thus that a wife maybe, conquers imp-rue.
And HymenJbeil rivet the fetters of Love.

DOCTOR Barton being in company
with Dr. Nath, who had just printed
two heavy folios, containing the an
tiquitiesof Worcefterihire, England ;
•the Warden humorously observed to
the Dodor, that hit publication was
deficient in several refpe&s. Dr Nash,
at was but natural, endeavored to de
fend hit work in the best manner be
wag able. “Pray Do&or, are you not
ajuflice of the peace ?" " I am,"
replied the Dr. "Then,' fays Bar

ANECDOTE o f . TURK. It
^lNttere 1715, when Doctor Hal-!
^ffia#@ of the great solar e
clipfe was a general fyhjea of cohver
fation, a Turkish envoy who happen
ed to be in London, said he w„ cer
tain the prediaionmuft be fallacious,
for God never revealed such things to
any but true believers. The eclipte
-appeared at the moment it had been
; calculated, and Lord Forfar afted the
Turk what he thought then : " That
dbg muff have their inlexigence from
the Devil, for God Almighty would hold
no crrefpondence with such a wretched
I sa of unbelievers as the Englifo afiron
omer?' — was the Turk's reply.
A FEW years ago, Gen. Gunning,
who is known to be addicted to play,
had a march with a gentleman in
Yorkshire, of whom he won 30,000
pounds at one fitting. The gentle
man waited on the Gen. next morning
and proposed to pay his loft by en
ftalteents. Finding that the gentle
man pofftffed an amiable wife, and a
ydbng family, the General made this
reply—" Sir,! had no more than 500
guineas when I began to play with
you; and if youhad won a higher
lum of the, I should have been unable
to pay you ; therefore I will only re
ceive a sum to that amount, provided
that, for the fake of your family, you
will enter into a solemn obligation
never to hazard their fortune and
happiness at play any more." The
gentleman gladly closed with this
handsome proposal; and the Gene
ral seemed as happy as if he had re
ceived all he had won.
CURIOUS STORK. =
FROM A LIVERPOOL PAPER,
A FEW years ago, a man who liv
ed, and still lives, at Allerton, in
this neighborhood, by trade ataylor,
but who could occasionally handle
hit fiddle at w^ll aftneedle— on hit
way home, from whence he had been
exercising his musical talents for the
entertainment of some of his country
neighbors, in paffiog through a field,
about three o'clock in the morning,
in the month of June, was attacked
by a Bull.l
After federal efforts to escape, he attempt
ed to afeend a tree —not however succeeding
in the attempt, a momentary impulse direct
ed him to pull out his fiddle, and, fortifying
himfelf behind the tree as well as he could,
began to play ; upon which the enraged an
imal became totally disarmed of his ferocity
and appeared to listen with great attention.
The affrighted Joe Snip, finding his fierce
and formidable enemy so much appeased,
begin to think of making his escape, lefteff
playing, and was moving off, without even
the flighted: desire to know wbe feould pay
the Piper.—This however, the Bull would
not fuffer ; for no fonner had our Orpheus
ceased his fafeinating strain, than the Bull's
rage appeased to return 'with as much vio
lence as before. He therefore was glad to
have recourse a Second time to his fiddle,
which as instantly operated again as a mag
ic charm upon the Bull, who became as com
pos'd and attentive as before. He after-;
wards made several more attempts to escape,
but all in vain; for no sooner did he flop
his fiddle, than the Bull's anger returned,
so that he was compelled to continue jf^rng
awey till near fix o'clock, (about 3 hours)
and until the family came to fetch home the
cows, by which he was relieved and refeufed
from a tiresome labor and frightful situation
—He is, perhaps, the firft man upon record
who may really be said to have fiddled for bis
life, and who has so truly fulfilled the Poet's
idea, that " Music has ebpraro tefoot^t^'fav
age breaf."
It is proper, and farther curious, to ob
serve, that this man lodged at the farm
houfe where the Bull was kept; and that,:
as he frequently played upon the fiddle in an
evening to amuse she family, he had observ
ed that the Bull (who always attends the
cows home to be milked) constantly endeav
ored to get as near the part of the house
where he happened to be playing, as possible
—and always appeared to listen with the
most regular attention white be played ; thii
fortunately struck him with the idea of hav
ing recourse to his fiddle, in the pressing
moment of his danger, and which as certain;
1 ly adverted it, and, in all probability, 'o*"j
I served his Iffts.* ~^.^
