" 1 thank thee kindly, but I've firmly swore,
To flay no longer dangling here on fliore ;
One fhihing piece, howe'er, dear Will, I'll take,
And when I can a recompense I'll make."
Will.
tylye, take it, welcome—may it do thee good,
Tnod oft with me at the fame gun had flood ,
Oft haft thou shared the tare of the fame mess,
And fcorn'd to flinch in battle or distress ;
Load florins may roafyand blattering winds may
blow,
' But still my heart fliaft^l a brother's woe."
The Coquette Reproved.
“ 'Tis flrange that 1 remain a maid,
Though fifty swains have homage paid,"
" The reafoir you have told," said Fanny,
" You had jufl forty-nine too many.”
I WONDERFUL MUTILATIONS
IN a Liter from Prince Pignatelli, Minifler of
the King of Naples, to Count Prioca, Minifler of
State at Turin, intercepted by the French General
Championet, is thefolloying statement, originated
from the mention of Lord Nelson losing his arm,
in a conversation at Naples :—
A criminal was ordered to be broken upon the
wheel in the town of Dijon, many years since ; the
Surgeons begged, by petition to the King, to have
the sentence commuted to Suffering an experiment
to be madeof a new-invented Ilyptic,in a case of
the utmost boemofrage. The Court granted the
reqoeil, and the criminal consented, as his only
chance for life. The dismemberment went all
lengths but the head : both the arms, both the
thighs, were chopped off. Tn fine, the bleeding
trunk, smack smooth, with the head only remain
ing to the body, was itnnlerfed in the flyptic. It
soon flopped rhe blood ; the wounds healed : the
man survived, became the molt moral and pros
perous citizen of Dijon, married the tailed, larg
est woman in the country, had twelve children,
and his posterity are now at the heed of the
Municipality'.

AN ECLOGUE.
TWO hardy Tars, who many tlorms had seen,
And both with Nelson at the Nile had been,
As chance would have it, happen'd both to meet,
No matter where—'twas in an opt n street.
Jack neat and trim, was drefs'd in jacket blue,
Stiip'd vett, and trowfers of the whitett hue ;
A gold bound hat hung o'er his ruddy lace,
While a black neckcloth, tied with careless grace,
Dependent wav'd, his shoes were neatly cut,
And a large buckle cover'd halt his toot —
His pliant switch too dangled in his hand ;.
And, meeting 'Will, he made a sudden Hand :
So drefs'd was 1 /ill, save that he breeches \\ ore,
Ofblacked velvet fluff'd with yellew ore,
Os youthful mein, and of an honest heart :
He oft on board had acted well his part.
Jack firlt addrefs'd his meffinate with “ What
cheer?
How goes it Will—where haft thou been this
year?
I wonder'd where thou honest friend, could'ft be ;
1 thought thee dead, of gone up the Red Sea."
Will.
46 Why hearty, hearty : just from Portsmouth
come— ,
Our Chip's paid off and here's a twinging sum."
(Slapping his breeches)
Jack.
“ O happy Will ! who haft got gold in store,
Whilff I, my friend, must put to sea for more !
Mine, mine alas ! is now run dev'lifh low,
Lalt night it got a molt confounded blow."
Will.
“ Pray tell tpe how ? to fret is all in vain,
A heart of oak, my boy, should ne'er complain ;
No whining can't—l long to hear thy tale,
Then with a can ol flip, I'll thee regale."
JACK
" Hear it thou (halt, but firft one juicy quid,
I'll thank thee, Will, then do as 1 am bid."
Will.
<< With all my heart, my 'bacco box I'll ope ;
Here ! take it all, there's more in yonder shop."
Jack.
'' Last night, half seas, 1 fleer'd to fee the play,
With Poll in tow, and made but little way,
Few knots an hour 1 run, yet at the lad,
In Drury's gallery I my anchor caff.
When 1 had got my felf flow'd in a birth,
And just began t'indulge in fun and mirth,
Who should I spy, but Tom, my old fhiprtiate,
Moor'd Item and stern along fide fancy Kate ;
" Yo hip ! yo hip !" 1 cried, " What cheer ? what
cheer ?
“You seem like me midst dangerous gulphs to fleer,
“ Ne'er mind the weather, if your bottom's found,
" Some how, at lad, you'll get to solid ground."
Tom took a quid, and scarce a word he spoke,
Nor feem'd to laugh, as usual, at my joke.
Much chang'd lie was, from what he us'd to be,
Who once could talk and laugh with so much glee :
Os rare old gin, on this, 1 took a cup,
And saw with joy, the main sheet now haul'd up ?
Such a fine fight I never saw before,
Save when I heard brave Nelson's cannon roar.
I saw fine folks all clad in (ilk and gold,
And flow'd in births above and in the hold ;
Rare wenches too, with flreamers red or blue,
But none like Poll : none had her rosy hue ;
Well entertain'd with music and the play,
When all was done I Prove to get away ;
But in the crowd, while Poll began to curse,
Some lubber flily Pole my silken purse.
All this, dear Will, 1 could with ease have borne.
Had not my time-niece from me too been torn.
With fliining chain and seal, and trinkets store,
That coll in whole, fix guineas aye, and more ;
Enrag'd I was to be so crofsl, us'd,
While faithlefs Poll my kindness now refus'd ;
The fancy jade, because (he saw me poor,
No longer could my company endure ;
Ungrateful she for all my favors pad,
And many a favor giv'ri her firfl and lad !
White petticoats, a cloak, a ca P and gown—
-1 tow'd her too to fee each sport in town ;
To Sadler's Wells, to Alley's, every where,
Yet thus was I repaid for all my care."
Will.
“ Well ! Jack, may I a bifeuit never crack,
And may 1 basely fly Mounfeer's attack ;
May 1 forever from my quarter's run,
And dread to fee the muzzle of a gun,
If thou'rt not welcom to a share of mine ;
Here's guineas, Jack, pray take them,eight or nine."
Cempte of &>oUlitfc
NO one, in this Automating scene of trial, finds
every thing around him agreeable to his wish :
Yet every one should endeavour to make the belt
of his situation—to be contented with the allot
ments of heaven —to cultivate an habitual cheertul
nefs and fortitude of mind—and, by confeious fidel
ity to God and man, to brighten his profpetts into
that world, where his hope- cannot be difapponted
and where neither Ins friendships nor plealures can
be interrupted.
Cemple of Cornua
AN attorney in France, having purchased a charge
of bailiff for his ton, advised him never to work
in vain, but to raise Contributions on those who
wanted his abidance. " What ! father," said the
son, in surprise, " would you have me fell jus
tice ?''=-“ Why not ?" answered the father, " is so
scarce an article to be given for nothing ?"
Sir Thomas More, the day he was beheaded,
had a barber sent him, because his hair was long,
which it was thought would make him more com
miserated by the people. The barber alked him
whether he would be trimmed ? In good faith,
honed fellow, said fir Thomas, the king and 1
have a suit for my head ; and till the title be clear
ed, I will beilo & no colt upon it !!
.——— ;
When degrees were held in high estimation, and
therefore more coveted than at present, Dr. Pitca
irn, then at Edinburg, in order to affront a Dutch
University, where he himfelf had graduated, and
degrees had been greatly prostituted, sent for a
diploman foihis valet ; which>being granted, Ie
sent for another for his horse. To his lafftequelt
the Rettor Magniffcus replied, that " wishing to
oblige him, they had consulted their records tor a
precedent, but could not find one ; though under
the name of Pitcairn it appeared, the University
had once conferred an honorary degree on an
/IJs."
