From the Mercury.
Advertisement Extraordinary.
RANAW'AY from Good Con
science, in the town of Faith
fulnefs, courty of Mankind, and king
dom of Benevolence, a broken mer
c¢ham, or petty lawyer, &c. He had
on, when he went away, a coat, which
he called ftri& honesty, buttoned with
idleness. He wore away a veft,which
he called good manners, but it was {o
thread bare that it showed the lining,
which was made of falfhood ; and
you might fee his shirt through his
pocket holes, of fbameful ignorance,
felf conceit, and cunning cheating.
He had a hat which he called lawful
gain, but it wis known to be made
of the fur of oppreflion, lined with
falfe swearing, and died with lies—the
hatter’s n:m%& was theft. His bree
ches he called fidelity, but they were
woven m the loom of deceit, and but
tonéd with broken promises. - His
shoes he called by the name of reli.
gion, but they were made of the lea
ther. of hypocrily, tanned with the
bark of presumption, and curried in
the fliop of deviltry. He often fre
quenced the tavern, ipending his time
to no good purpose, contriving mif
chief, and fecking an opportunity to
betray the innocent. Whoever will
return the said runaway to me shall
have good will for his reward.

Defeription of a Man, by a Woman,
q ‘MAN, te is Like tomm—>but flay,
To what be’s unlikeavha can fay?
And yet ave can fowrce do awitheut him.
Love sets in bis breafd
Like a hen on ber nefl,
Ard nis chickens are feratching about him.
When ks pleaf*d I am fqueaz’d,
When he’s not I am teazs’d, %
And I never can tell where to find bim :
He is like an old horse,
Worth but little and cross,
And a wwoman is foolifh to mind bim.
If ke chance but to finile,
And look pleasant a while,
And come chattering around like achicken,
He is like a gay lark, .
But a falfe kearted spark,
#nd bis feathers are scarcely worth pick
tng.
But avken Fe is-vext,
Confus’d and perplexty
Deceitful and vicious,
Base, fulfe, and malicious,
He is likeem——hard to speak it myfelf—
He is like to———e—alas !
Like a snake in the grass,
Ie is then,y oyly then, like bimfelf.
His bead’s like a butcher’s full shop,
Beef; mutton and pork, or what not ;
£is heart’s like a pail of old fwilly
Which the offal contributes to fill ¢ -
I short to a wifz,
He is like a case kuife,
To cut up my cake for my cheese ;
Like a faint avhen }e's civily:
But if not, like the devil ;
But «will turn to whatever be please :
7o a hog, t 2 a dog,
To a hare, to a bear,
W/z/é cruelty yieldeth to no man ;
ike @ mouse, lite a gosfe,
Lite a mule, like a faol,
Like a lane, like a vane,
Like a leaf, like—in bricf;
He's like every thing else, but a womaw.
