POETRY.
4>Q>l4,
From the Port Folio.
Ibe latest Gentleman's Magazine, which tie Lave
obtained from London, contains the following ad
mirable parody of the soliloquy in Hamlet. He
who remembers tie lively ode of Burns, or who
adverts to the torment of a throbbing todtb;ioiU
smile at the poetical doubts fuggefed below.
TO have it out or not? that is the question;
Whether it is easier for a man to fuffer
The throbs and Footings of a raging tooth,
Or take up courage to lit down at once,
And by extraction end them—ajouch,no more,
And with a single shock to feel we end
The tedious aches and head diftrading pangs
That we are fubjed to; 'tis a relief
Most wifely to be used; perchance wrench out
A found deep-rooted fang; aye,there's the rifque
For,from a bungler's hands svtatmifehief follows
When once the horrid inftrumeut is fix'd,
Allows no pause ; there's the refpe&
That makes our patience of so long endurance :
For who would ever be applying tinctures,
Specific opiates, poppy, mandraggora,
Magnets, mctalic traders, anodynes,
The pois'nous drugs of mountebanks, or charms,
That fond credulity so often calces;
When he himfelf might his quietus get
Far a bare two-pence in a barber's (hop!
Who'd fvreat and groan whole sleepless nights
in pain,
But that the thoughts of torture, worse than all,
A broken jaw! (which any mortal (offering
Would Graight fall frantic) harrows up the
mind,
And makes us rather bear our present torments,
Than fly to others, that we never felt:
Irresolution thus doth make men cowards;
And heroes, of great enterprize and valor,
Turn pale and sickly at bare fight of med'cine.
Whilst women, weak and delicate of'frame,
Shrink not at operations flow and dreadful.

MORALS—No. 464.
From Chief fuflice Hale.
BEWARE of too much recreation. Some
bodily exercise is neceffar,, for sedentary
men especially; but let it not be too frequent,
nor too long. Gaming, taverns, and plays, as
they are pernicious, and corrupt youth, so if they
had no other fault, they are justly to be declin
ed, in refpea of their exceffivc expense of time
and habituating men to idleness and vain
thoughts, and disturbing passions and symptoms,
when they are past, as well as while they are
used."
MR. Gray, the celebrated author of the
Elegy in a Country Church Yard, being in
London before his promotion co the profcffor-_
Ship of Modern Hiftory in the university of
Cambridge; and when his circumstances were
so crampt that he could indulge himfelf in very
few gratifications, went with a friend to a pri
vate sale of books, in which the lots were very
large ; among the rest, there was a very elegant
book case, filled with a well chosen collodion of
the best French'daffies, handsomely bound, the
price 100 guineas. Mr. Gray had a great longing
for this lot, but could not afford to buy it, The
conversation between him and his friend was
overheard by the amiable Dwtehefs of North
umberland, who knowing the other gentleman,
took an opportunity to ask who his friend was ?
She was told it was the celebrated Gray. Up
on their retiring, file taught the book case and
its contents, and sent it to Mr. Gray's lodgings,
with a note, importing that flie was ashamed
of fending so small an acknowledgement for
the infinite pleasure Ihe had received in reading
the Elegy in a Country Church-Yard.

TiMOTHtus the Athenian general, supping
with Plato, was entertained with a frugal meal
and much improving difeourfe. Meeting Plato
afterwards, 'Your fuppers,' said he, 'are rot on
ly pleasant at the time, but equally so the next
—day' —o—
fto/en nothing. "Well upon my word, 1 ' fays the
firft, ' that isbeyond every thing.' 'Oh,' fay you
'if that be the case, you know I can go no farther.'
So much for punning. [Dildin's MufcalTour.
O
Young Squire Boody, just come from his
fig term at the university, was willing to give
his parents a specimen of his improvement
there. ' Father' fays he, ' I can chop logic,
• Ay,' fays his father, 'how is that, Tom I'
'Why/ fays Tom ' here dye fee father are a
couple of fowls at table, I can prove they are
three fowls/ 'How's that ?' quoth the father.
'Why, there's one,' fays Tom, 'and there's two,
pointing to one difb,and one and two make three,
father.' Well done,' fays the father, turning
to his wife, 'Tom's a conjuror; you take one
fowl, and I'll eat the other, and let Tom have
the third for his logic?
There is now a curious trial pending in one of
the Courts of France—A Lady has instituted a
suit against her husband for alimony. The hus
band admits that he was married to her, but
contends that the marriage is not valid becaufc
it was contrasted merely as a device to save the
life of the lady, who had taken refuge in his
house during the sanguinary reign of Robef
piere. On the other hand, the wife affects that
the marriage was to all intents and purposes a
real one, and that as the Gentleman was kind
enough to save her life, he can now do no less
than maintain het for life.
C
The art of punning by rule.
"By rule?" Yes thus. A man fays, "Mr.
Locke was a a great metapbyJkian." " Oh Lord,
fay you, that's nothing at all—J met a pbfeian
myfelf yesterday/ The next rule is to lay
a trap fora pun, by a previous queflion. Say,
'do you think the dinner is ready ?' ' 1 really
don't know,' fays one of the company, " I am
going to Jee.' 'Oh tofe, are you !' fay you, 'I
with you a good voyage." —Or thus—fay you,
'what do you think of this business of the Em
press and the Turks ?" 'Think !'fays one, why
that the Empress will play the very devil with
them. Why, fir, in another twelvemonth there
will be no Turkey in Europe.' ' Upon my word,'
fay you, ' I am lorry for that—it is a very
charming dish, cfpecially with a pudding in its
belly.' Thus when you have learned to pun with
Zeno thus addressed a garrilous youth—
'Nature gave us two ears, and one mouth;
fyt we might hear much, and talk little?
^TO REMOVE PREDISPOSI
TION IS CURING THE DISEASE.
AT this season of the year,
when, in crowded Cities, and ir
regular and various modes of living, con
flitutean almost univcrf.il predisposition
to " Bilious, Infamatory and YELLOW,
Malignant Fevers ;" It would greatly
mitigate the prevalence of Epidemical or
Sporadic cases of fever, if the citizens
would generally attend to their health;
by the frequent use of mild Bilious pur
gatives, and avoid all thofecircumitances
which excite predisposition in'o disease,
luch as intemperance, excessive fatigue,
exposure to alternate heats and colds &c.
Accordingly the best medicine ever yet
difeovered, to answer the above indica
tions, and to remove the firft Rages of
fevers, as has been for 4. ytars experienc
ed in all the various # iries and towns in
the United States where Yellow Fever
has prevailed, is
Having a very great opinion ®f your Bilious
Pills, and experienced their good effects in my
family for four years past ; and observing with
much anxiety the annual return of the Bilious
Yellow Fevers, in many of our large towns, and
believing that your pills are the best remedy for
preventing and curing those deftrud^ve diseases
of any—l hereby hand you a short statement of
my own case, which I request you to make pub
lic for the benefit of mankind :——On the firft
October, 1798,1 was attacked in my office with
the Yellow Fever, then raging very violently in
thiscity— having loft my journeyman with the
fever, and my family being about two miles out
of town, and finding my situation very critical,
I immediately left town to join my family; and
took with me a box of your "New-London Bilious
Pills ;" and not being regularly attended by
any physician, I was under the necessity of be
coming my own dodor; My fever raging
very rapidly, I began with the use of your Pills,
and soon found relief : —Being thereby encour
aged 1 continued in the use of them until I re
covered, and have not the least doubt but they
were the means of laving my life. My wife
also was attacks d on leaving town, but soon re
covered after the use of them. I have ever kept
them in my family finer, and always shall, as
being the belt do reftic physic for med of the
Complaints that occur.
