Midst uc.9 such as these tocommune,
And quitting the glitter and bustle of day.
Mend the hearts and the passions attune.
May thisoft be our lot, so wisdom divine
Shall lead us a flowery w^ ;
So our Morning of life shall most brilliant!,
"THIS isa country w^ich affords all the
i means not only of futfiftence but of
wealth. But.meaos must be employed or the
end is not attained. Greater industry may be
neseflary here, than in feme other climes ;
But this is no unhapp : nefs. A people that grow
rich suddenly and without mrxh labour, soon
become luxurious and effeminate. They pre
sently fink agai, into poverty ; or that wealth
is confined to a few. They loose their strength
and vigor, and the spirit of liberty; and fall an
caf, prey to the ririt powerful urvader, or an,
bitious usurper. A habit of induct, is firft aS
quired by necessity; and once acquired, ma,
continue for awhile, after the necessity abates,
unless circUroftances alter too suddenly it
grengthens the body, braces the mind, and aids
other virtues. It gives patience in adversity,
courage in danger, and perseverance in difficul
ty. No people ever maintained their liberty
Jong, after they teased to be industrious, and
became dilute and luxurious."

]?H<LIP the Second, walking one day r?one

an honest tradesmen, feting the door open went
in.—Transported with admiration at the fine
paintings with which that house is adorned, he
aedreffed himfelf to the king, whom he rook
for one of the convene, and desired him to Chew
the paintings, and explain the luhte&s of them.
Philip, with all the humility and condescension
ofa lay brother, couduaed him through tne a
partmenta, and gave him all the fatisfadtion he
could de fire. At parting, the Granger took him
$y the hand and fqucezing it affectionately, said
°1 am much obliged to you friend, I live at
St. Martins, and my name is Michael Bombis.
If you (hould chance to come my way, and call
upon me, you will find a glass of good wine at
your service." —“ And my name, (said the pre-,
tended servant) is Philip the second : and if
you will call upon me at Madrid, I will give
you a glass of as good !"

A Correspondent has favored us with the
following Anecdote, which occurcd to him on
reading an account in a paper refpeaing a ship
found buried twenty feet under ground in dig
ging for a new sluice-way at Dantzig. It is
czeraaed from Pioszi's Retrofpeaion.
“ About the middle of the 12th century,not
withstanding such numbers of people went to
the Crnfadcs ; those who were left at hom^
found Icifure to, lay the foundation of Fribourg,
while Utrecht was seen daily inercafing ;
bantzig too must have been a place famous for
trade, or else the story would soon fall to the
ground (tho' told prettily enough) concerning
a rich widow, who gave the master of some Ship
ermmiffion to bring her thence the mod valu-.
able commodity that could be found in that
vast general mart. Her foyer, the Captain,
loaded bisveffel with wheat ; which the proud
dame disdaining, caused it all to be thrown o
vcr. board. Heavy judgmeirts(faythe old books)
followed fucharrogance and foil, ; the havens
grew ffat where they threw ofic the corn, at
Staveren, a little town in Friezelaud, and made
it dangerous landing for the future. Thegnii
ty ship funk in its next voyage at Dantzig , aud
a, strange disorder narrowing . the widow's;
throat, fee was foots punished by being starved
so death." , — =, ibid.
Modern Extravagance.
The terras on which Capt'. Sowdon parchaf
e,bis feat in the balldou ate curious Col. Green
ville contra&cd that M Girnerin should go up
and said he would go up with him Garnerin con
sented ; but the Colonel was persuaded to de
cline Col Pollen offered Garoerin fifty gui
neas for the feat, but Garocrin fad he could
npt let it without Col. Greenville's consent. In
the mean time, Cape, Sou dou, applied to Col.
Greenville, paid him dook f&r.thc feat, engaged
to go halves in the profit or los of the Ranelagh
Fete (the loft is more than rsool ) and one of
the conditions was, that ,he fyuld make,his will
in favour of the Colonel, which he actually did;
Thus a feat for three quarters of an hour, cost
clpt Sowdon eight hundred pounds.
