The following charge worthy of Dogberry him
felf, was taken by a constable of the night, and
produced before a fitting magistrate in London—
“ John brown gave charge of Martha Brown,
his wife, for wilfully fcoiilding him ; for being
tokficate, and quarelfum in her liquor at twelve
o'clock at night." The magistrate difinifted it as
being an evil beyond the reach of law to remedy !
/YEfair married dames, who Co often deplore
That a k>ver once bleft is a lover no more ;
Attend to my council, nor blush to be taught,
That prudence must cherish what beauty has
caught.
The bloom of your cheek and the glance of your
eye,
Your roles and lillies, may make the men sigh;
But roses and lilies, and figbs pals away,
And passion will die as your beauties decay.
Use the man that you wed like your fev'rite gui
tar,
Tho' mafic in both, they are both apt to jar;
How tuneful and foft for a delicate touch,
Not handled too roughly nor play'd on too much!
The sparrow and linnet will feed from your hand,
Grow tame at your kindness, and come at com
mand ;,
Exert with your husband the fame happy /kill,
For hearts like your birds may be tam'd at your
will.
Be gay and good humor'd, complying and kind,
Turn the chief of your care from your face to
your mind ;
'Tis thus that a wife may her conquests improve,
And Hymen shall rivet the fetters of love*.
THE shortness of life inculcates moderation in
desires and affections. Should fear rife to ter
ror, when we know that our heads may be laid
before the calamity can burst upon them ? Should
hope swell to tumult, when it is certain, not only
that possession will disappoint anticipation, but
that what we obtain will be loft almost as soon as
gained? Shall we envy diftinaions which the
grave will so soon annihilate? Or is pride a pas
sion for a creature of a day ?
REMARK. —It requires no small degree of ability
to know when to conceal one's ability.

REVENGE.
. SOMETHING more than a century ago, the
Marquis of Aftrogas, a Spanish nobleman, having
prevailed upon a young woman of great beauty
to become his nuftrefs, the Marchioness hearing
of it, went to her lodging with some affaffus,
killed her, tore our her heart, carried it home,
mad > a RAGOUT of it and preferred the dish to
the Marquis. “It is exceedingly good," said he.
<<No wonder," the answered, & tince it is made
of the heart of that creature yon so much doated
on." And to confirm what Jibe hid said, she im
mediately drew out the head, all bloody, from
beneath her hoop, and rolled it on the floor, her
eyes fparkUng all the time with a mixture of
pleasure and fury.
IN ancient times (such times are now no more)
When Albion's crown ilhUlrious Arthur wore, ^
In force fair op'ning glade, each Cummer's night,
Where the pale mpon diffus'd her silver light
On the foft carpet of a graft? field,
The (porting Fairies their alfemblics held : -
-Some lightly tripping with their pigmy queen,
In circling ringlets mark'd the level green ;
Some with foft notes hade mellow pipes rewound,
And mafic warble through the groves around ; —
Oft lonely shepherds by the foteft fide,
Belated peasants oft' their revel's spied,
And home returning, o'er their nut brown ale
Their gueits diverted with the wondrous tale.
Infracted hence, throughout the British die,
And fund to imitate the pleading toil,
Round where the trembling may-pole, fix'd on
high,
Uplifts its flowery honors to the iky,
The ruddy maids and fun-burnt swains resort,
And practice every night the lovely fpert ;
On every fide Eolian artihs Hand,
Whose active elbows swelling winds command,
The swelling winds harmonious pipes iufpire,
And blow in ev'ry bread a gen'rous fire.
Thus taught, at firft the Country Dance began,
And hence to cities, and to courts it ran ;
Succeeding ages did in time impart
Various improvements to the lovely art ;
From fields and groves to palaces remov'd,
Great ones the pleasing exercise approv'd :
Hence the loud fiddle and thrill trumpet's founds,
Are made companions of the dancer's bounds ;
Hence gems and silks, brocades and ribbons join,
To make the ball with perfect lufire fltine,

A fpanhh poet/defcribing his psffion fays, "that,
in thinking of his Mdlrefs, he fell into a pond,
where the heat of his passion had filch an effect on
A person met one of his acquaintance, and told

other, but you wiil, believe me when I aflure you

bis children music. The Bishop had a concert

no was to have a grand benefit concert at Cork.
One day at dinner, the Bishop said, " Well, Paf
qnilino, I have got fid of a great many tickets for
you among my opulent neighbors." To which the
Musician bowing laid— “ May Godpickle your lord
