"GET MONEF-r-GET IT HONESTLY, IF YOU
CAN—LUT BY ALL MEANS GET MONEY."
[Advice from afather to his fag
on,
MONEY THE BEST FRIEND.
ROW bleft is he who does possess,
Oi &f^ a geu'rous Hore ;
Whole bags are crowded well with chink,
And trunks with golden ore.
This man, refpefted well mail be*-
Howe'er devoid of merit ;
His cash (hall cower all his faults.
And dubb him— Lad of spirit.
He may get drunk, well, what of that ?
He's, still a clever fellow;
•For where's the map, but now and then,
Will get & little mellow.
In trade, he now and .then may err,
His honefly may warp:
Well—what of that ? the man of trade
Should study to be sharp.
Shoo'd any one dare to surmise
His actions not quite pure ;
He chinks the bag—and all is hufh'd
Beneath the golden lure.
Then dream no more of Friendship's charm,
Let Money be your friend:
On this you fafely may rely—
On this you may depend.

THE HUSBANDMAN.
YE pamper'd great, who proudly ride,
In gilded coaches, as ye glide
Among the vulgar crew ;
Scorn not the m n who tills the fields,
Who reaps the fruits which autumn yields,
That man's as good as you.
Tho' fortune adverse, for his home
Has rais'd in date no splendid dome,
Nor fpreadmpon his board
Delicious dainties—and his name,
Unblazon'd in the rolls of fame,
Is latl among the croud.
Yet calm content, around his head
Will Bill her genial influence shed ;
He envies not your lot !
When day declining, night returns,
And on his hearth one faggot burns,
He hatlens to his cot.
His infants, sportive round tte fire,
In lisping accents greet their Y
(While each alike's his care)
With wantoh gambolings drive to please,
And eager climb his honored knees,
The-envied kits to share.
The greeting o'er, to rest he goes ;
Ambition breaks not his repose,
Nor robs hi, foul of rest :
For envy, hate, corroding care,
The dire effeds of fell despair.
Are Grangers to his bream
Can all your wealth—can all your power—
(Thofe glitt'ring play-things of an hour)
Bring happiness like this ?
Can pompous titles and estates,
The fleeting gifts of blinded fates,
Be reckon'd equal bliss ?
" No !—hence, ye vain delusive toys!
Ye poor, tantaftic, fhort-liv'd joys !
Give me a conference pu,e:
Give me a mind content —ferene—•
ra cloud of guilt to intervene,
Mv joys will (till endure.

THIS languid mortal body is but a dead bulk,
winch will moulder and drop off at latt, or like a
bubble, burll ; while the foul, in a flutter, expa
tiates for eternal lire, the valt ab. fs of incompre
hepuun. We use it too much as a machine tor
pinafore, and often wear it out, neglected, before
its natural period I Yet there is hardly a man liv
ing,^* would gladly exchange it, in a state of
decay for another new earthly body, and renew
bislife to another grand climacteric ; so loth, so
unreclaimed, and irreconciled are we to part with
this contemptible mud t Yet, fond, foolifh man !
it is in vain to deceive ourselves ; no mm, how
ever great, not evgn Solomon, with his faculty of
wisdom, and in all his gidry, could procure the
definable exchange. ' „ •
It is indtfputaoly evident, that all must equally
submit to the common dissolution of matter, and
when the hour ofour death approaches, none dare
to afle from whence, nor ^hy,it comes ; it is God's
decree that every one (hull die ; death is his mef
fencer, to enforce his law ; nor will he let any of
ut carry from hence any mark of human pride,
treasures, or honors, or any proofs of our earthly
consequence, but a good conference, obtained from
a well (pent life.'

A Specimen of t£e S&lime.
A learned young lady, at a tea-table, being alk
ed if die nfed &ar, replied, " /faea diabolically
taring repugnance to fagdr , fa according to
my ineffible cogitations upon the fubjeft, theJu^ofr

renders it vajlly obnoxiou.."
THE late alderman, Sir Matthew Blackstone,
once took his revenge of his coachman in the fol
lowing curious way : On a day when he was to
have company to dinner, and part of his servants
rather busy in making , preparations, he chanced to
,hear one of ^m, a female, alk the coachman,
who had nothing to cid, to fetch a jug of water
from the pump ; the surly fellow rtfufed, faying,
^lt is none of my business to fetch water." The
Alderman, after a thort pause, coolly rung his bell"
and ordered the carriage to be got ready immedi
ately. The coachman, tho' Ibrprifed at his mas
ter's fuddeti commands, had nothing to do but o
bey them, and was with the hordes and carriage at
the door in a few minutes. Sir Matthew called
the girl, who had requeued the coachmm to fetch
tie water, told her to get into the coach, and take
the jug with her ; die did so : he then bid the coach
man to drive to the pump, where the young wo
man alighted, filled her jtig, and returned with
it in the coacu to her maker's house.
A young coxcomb demanded of Zeno, who,
notwithstanding the auileriry of his manners, had
a very fenhble heart, it sages permitted themselves
to love ?—“ the women," replied Zeno, ", would
have cause of regret, if they could command the
homage of none but fools I"
A porter, trudging through the streets of Lon
don, flopped to ease his flioulders, and wipe his
brow," Aba," exclaims he, “ if the French suc
ceed, they will bind heavy burdens Upon us, too
heavy to be borne." “ True," cries a debtor,
thralling his head through the grates of ajail,
" and what,would become of our liberties and
properties ?" “ And where, < nmy blood,"
fries,, sailor, " would be our religion ?"
AN Irishman being at ahorfe race, where three
horses were to run, undertook io ride duettthem.
They all rode up to the line and Parted; but the
liifhman's borfe ran so far beiore the others that
he did not know whether it was a lair dart, and
flopped for the rest so coroe up with him. When
they did, herlked them if it was a fair Part, but
received no answer,at v hich he whipped his horse
and cried out, till he got to the end of the race,
"Isit a fair Part ?isit a fair ft rt ?" Some gen
tlemen Handing b>, asked hun how it was that he
gut beat. "By St. Patrick, said he, 1 flopped, in
the middle, to fee a fair Part."
