A CONJUGAL CAUTION.
SIR George Etheregc, having run up a score
at Leckie's, absented himfelf from the ordi
nary. In consequence of this Mrs. Lockit sent
to dun him, and threatened him with a prosecu
tion. He told the messenger that he would cer
tainly kifo her if Hie stirred a flep in it! On this
message being brought, the called for her hood
and scars, and told her husband who interposed,
" that flic should fee if there was any fellow alive
that had the impudence !"—" Prithee, my dear,
don't be so rash," replied the good old man—
"you don't knotv what a man ma, do in a ,a§on,
o
The following audacious theft was lately prac
tifcd in London. A fellow entered a gentle
man's house in Fortland-place, and finding no
person in the fervants' hall, he took all the great
coats, which were nearly new, and threw them
over his fhouldcr. Ashe was making his escape
he was met by the second coachman, who en
quired what he was going to do with the coats?
The fellow quite unembarrassed, replied, " that
V he was taking them to clean," as they were
fplaihcd. The coachman, believing this to be
the case, said, “ Stop a little, and you fball have
mine too," which he accordingly gave him, and
fuffered the fellow to depart : nor was it until
feme hods after that the theft was discovered.
observation:
An acute Frenchman has remarked, that the
modest deportment of really wife men, when
contrasted to the assuming air of the young and
ignorant, may be compared to the different ap
pearance of wheat, which while its ear is empty,
holds up its head proudly, but as soon as it is fil
led with grain, bends modcftly down, and with
draws from observation. He might, however,
have added, that when the ears are filled with
conceit instead of wisdom, which often happens,
the head is still borneup with all the pride of
tmptinefs. o
Among the ftrangc, and generally ridiculous,
anecdotes of Americans, so common in foreign
prints, we have not fecn any one more singular
than the following, from a Glasgow paper of
the 26th January, 1802.—" The following an
ecdote is told by a gentleman who came passen
ger in the Recovery, from New-York. Walk
ing the streets of New-York, at the time the
fever was raging there, he met a dray loaded
with coffins ; the drayman swaggering behind,
half drunk, tinging, "Hail Columbia bast, land / 11
ADMIRAL FENN, after thirty years em
ployment in several places of eminent trust
and honor, upon serious reflexion, not long be
forp his death, spoke to one of his fens in this
manner—“ Son William, lam weary of the
world ; I would not live over my days again, if
1 could command them with a wish ; for the
snares of life are greater than the fears of death.
This troubles me, that I have offended a gra
cious God, who has followed me to this day. —
O, have a care of fin ! That is the fling both of
life and death. Three things I commend to you:
First, let frothing in this world tempt you to
wrong your conscience ; I charge you do noth
ing against your conscience : Io will you keep
peace at home, which will be a feaft to you in
the day of trouble. Secondly, whatever you
/'defign to do, lay it justly, and time it seasona
bly; for that gives security and dispatch. Last
ly, be not troubled at disappointments ; for if
they may be recovered, do it; if they cannot,
trouble is vain. If you could not have helped
it be content; there is often peace and profit in
submitting to providence; for afflictions make
wife. If you could have helped it, let not your
trouble exceed inftruflion for another time.'
These rules will carry you with firmnefs and
comfort through this ioconftant world."
The DESPAIRING WANDERER.

— TIS an hour to misery dear!
No noise, but dashing waves, I hear,
Save hollow blasts that rulh around;
For Midnight reigns, with horrors crown'd.
Lo ! clouds in swarthy grandeur fwcep
Portentous o'er the troubled deep:
O'er the tall rocks' majestic heads,
Lo! billowy vapour llowly spreads,
While Fancy, as she marks its swell,
Around it throws her magic spell—
And fee! ftntaftic Shapes seem near,
The rocks with added height appear,
And from the mist, to seek the tide,
Gigantic figures darkly glide:
While, with quick step and hurried mien,
Pale Terror leads the shadowy scene.
Again loud blasts I fhudd'ring hear,
Which seem, to Fancy's lift'ning ear,
To toll fame ibipwreck'd sailor's knell !
Os fear, of grief, of death they tell.
Perhaps they hade yon foaming tide
Unheard of misery scatter wide.
Hail! dread idea, fancy-taught.
To me with gloomy pleasure fraught;
I should rejoice the world to fee
Diftrefs'd, diftradled, loft, like me.
O! why is phrenzy call'd a curse?
1 deem the sense of misery worse ;
Come, Madness, come! tho' pale with fear
Be joy's flufh'd cheek when thou art near.
On thee I eager glances bend;
Despair, O Madness! calls thee friend!
Come, with thy visions cheer my gloom,
Spread o'er my check thy feverilh bloom !
To my weak form thy strength impart,
From my funk eye thy lightnings dart!
Oh, come, and on the troubled air
Throw rudely my diforder'd hair; 8
Arm me with thy supporting pridQ
Let me all ills, all fears deride!
Oh, bid me roam in tatter'd vefe,
Bare to the winery wind my breast.
Horrors with dauntless eye behold,
And stalk in fancied greatness bold:
Let me, from yonder frowning rock,
With my shrill scream :he billows mock;
With fearlefs step afeend the Reep,
That totters o'er th' encroaching deep ;
And while the swelling main along
Blue lightning's awful splendors throng;
And while upon the foaming tide
Danger and death in triumph ride,
And thunder rends the car of night,
Rousing the form of pale affright,
Let me the mountain torrent quaff,
And midst the war cf nature—laugh!
