From the Nightingale.
The Hare Hunt.
SINCE Zephrus firfc tatted the charms of co, Flora,
Sure nature ne'er beam'd on so lovely a morn;
Ten thousand sweet birds court the smile of Aurora,
And the woods loudly echo, The found of the horn,
"Yet the morn's not so lovely, so brilliant, so gay
As our splendid appearance in gallant array,
When already mounted we number our forces,
Enough the wild boar and the tiger to scare;
Pity fifty flout beings, count dogs, men and horses,
Should encounter such peril to kill one poor hare.
Little wretch, thy fate's hard, thou wert gentle & blameless,
Yet a type of the world in thy fortune we fee;
And Virtue by monsters as cruel and ffiamelefs,
Poor, dcfencelefs and timid is humbled like thee.
See vainly each path how die doubles and tries,
If she 'fcapes the hound Treach'ry, by Slander (he dies,
To o'crcome that meek fear for which mon fiouid rcfpcd
her,
Ev'ry art is employ'd, every fly, subtle (bare,
Pity those that Were born to defend and protea her,
Should hunt to her ruin, so timid a hare.
Thus it fares with poor merit,which mortals Ibould cherilh,
As the heav'n gifted spark that illumines the mind;
As reason's bed honor left with it should pcrifh,
Ev'ry grace that perfection can lend to the mind.
Hark ! envy's pack opens, the grim lurcher Fear,
And the mongrel Vexation skulk fly in the rear,
The rest ail rush on, at their head the whelp Slander,
The fell maftiff Malice, the greyhound Despair,
Pity beings bed known by bright truth and fair candotfr,
Should hunt down, flume to manhood, so harmless a hare.
Their sport's at an end, harsh reflexion's beguiler,
To some thoughtless oblivion their fouls they resign,
The feduccr takes pleasure, revenge the reviler,
' The hunter's oblivion more harmless is wine,;.
Thus having deflroy'd ev'ry rational joy,
That can dignify rcafon they reason destroy,
And yet not in vain if this lesson inspirit,
Aught of reverence for genius, refpe& for the fair,
So the tear of loft virtue, and poor ruin'd merit
The fad manes (hall appeafe—of the innocent hare.
Resignation to the Changes of Fortune.
In a late account of the city of Hamburgh, it is remark
ed how strikingly the versatility of human affairs is dif
playcd in the circumstances of the French Emigrants in
that place ; of whom it is impoflible to speak without as
tonishment and admiration, at the fortitude and resignation
with which they bear, and cheerfully too, the fad vicissi
tudes of fortune : " A French Bifliop is now in partnership
with a perfonwhofe business it is to reduce different kinds of
vegetables, roots, and herbs into flour, to be ufed-iu bread,
and otberwife for coofumption on board (hip, and is doing
well—another Biffiop has undertaken ^tannery upon the
plan of Seguin, the French Chemist, and also succeeds. A
former General has turned Author, and now handles his
pen as well as he once did his sword ; his aid-de-camp
Baptiste, who diftinguilhed himfelf so much at the celebrat
ed battle of Jemappee, was very lately a paper-hanger—
a marquis meafurcs ladies for shoes—a Duke deals in Can
dles ; another of great rank is a ffk-dyer ; and a distin
guished officer serves as a waiter to a landlord, who had
once been his Lieutenant. The son of a late Governor
of a province, keeps a restoration house. A nobleman has
joined one, who had formerly been his cook b; the fame
bufinefi. The heir of the great name of Fencing keeps a
public house. Dealers in fa^ll ware, dancing, music, lan
guage, fencing and fchocl matters; brokers of every de
fcription, are innumerable. Let it not be omitted, that
one if not more is a dog fancier—an employment it is not
believed, left for the cYcovery of gallic genius/
A man who bad a defcX in one of his legs, was ob
jeXed to by a migiftrate as a substitute for a militia man,
on the score of his lameness. " I know lam lame, your
worship," said h§ " but I offer myfelf to light, not, to run
away."
Mr. Sheridan dined a few days ego at Richmond Park —
the invafem was so much the futjeX of cooverfation, that
the Minuter, byway of experiment got a little more than
. Lalf-feas-over. ' Lon. pap.

Improved Patent Bedstead.
THE Subferibefs having observed
and experienced mafiy inconveniences at
tending the fixing, putting up, and taking down
that necessary Article of Furniture, the Bedstead,
have invented an improvement to remedy those in
conveniences. Being equally applicable to com
mon Bedflrads, with lacking Bottoms, as to more
costly ones, they persuade themselves it will meet
with general approbation. It would exceed the'
limits of an ad vertifement to be particular in de
scribing the ftru6lnre and advantages. It may fuf
fice to fay, the Bedflead is firmly fastened
, at the corners, without the troublesome operofe
!contrivance and use of screws. It may be cafily
put up by one perfou, and little more time is re
quired for taking it down by one perlon, than
would be neCeffury for putting upand taking down
the leaves of a Dining Table. Th<fe advantages
;are obvious i n an article which requires frequent
examination, and is frequently rerunved, but the
fycial advantages in case of Fire wi'l be per eived
' at once by thole who have been obliged n > remove
I and save furniture on such occasions of hurry and
difttefe — Fhe fuhicribers flatter themselves tirat an
invention combining fimphedy, uftfuMefs, and
cheapness, will be encouraged by a generous Pub
lic. The new confiruaed Patent Bedhead may be
seen on applic.thu to either 0/ the fubferibers.
