A BALL anticipated^ Alia#, A FRACAS
NOW let's attend, and forms a handsome
fracas,".
Or mind my words, the Pupas will forfake us;
' The moment's critical, arid should we miss it.
The flruts, d'efprits, in spite, will clap and
hiss it.
Say nothing, brothers, till the very minute,
And make the boobies think there's nothing
in it.
Then let us, on a sudden, take the hall up,
Invite the belles of taste, and kick a ball up.
But mind that each secure his fav'rite honey ;
And hark ye, lads, (I'll tell it, for 'til funny,)
The ladies smile, to find us so ambitious,
And wish the matter might be expeditious.
Mi&Luriana told me, t'other morning,
That all the ladies waited, was the warning ;
" Top-knots and tuckers,hofe and fracas-flippers,
Muslins, fcarfs, gimps, breast-knots, and ca
putetippera,
All, all are ic.dv, and a thousand graces,
With sweet anxiety adorn their faces.'
But let us fee who'll form the joval party,
Os literati beaux, and fellows hearty ;
lake down the names of all, Magni Magne
rum,
And then by cull and pick, we'll form a quo
rum./
riitfri purfe-bound — Boot is malcontentcd,
For tricks once play'd him, which his grace
resented;
Conundrum goes-—But, zounds ! lets ca.l a
meeting, , , .
And each (ball sign bisname,<X takeabeating.
There's Dialed, Greek, Flute, and Hydrofatzc,
Old Sentimental, Stultus omnium, and Cage
Pneumatic,
All wield the graces manly as the bludgeon,
And equally detefi the base curmudgeon.
But if our plan should fail, then let's be cun
' , ning,;
To miss the ghastly sneer and party-pugnwg,
Os crazy ours who know no more than asses,
What 'tis to ball it right and keep the lasses.
'Tis faidby them,fome muchtooearly mutter;
Some enter late, and put them all aflafter ;
But all's a joke—here take the fcrol—try

To be a manager, with Hydrojiatic ;
Tomorrow night's the time, let's call for Mingo,
Then, with the ladies, and a flafk of dingo,
Bacchus and Venus shall dired each motion,
And Cupid dance, amid the wild devotion.

SEE the chrysalis inactive and

leem to present to you nothing
but a kind of putrefadlion, in
which every thing is confound
ed: butthen this putrefaction
contains the elements of a bet
ter slate of existence, and com
poses the nutrimental juices,
which contribute to the growth
of a more perfect animal ! The
timeofits enlargement at last
arrives, and the creature then

defengages itfelf through the
aperture, the horns lengthen,
the legs arid wings are extend

waves its wings, and retains no

ged into a chrysalis and the
butterfly, that proceeds from it,
are two animals entirely differ
ent. The 'firft, altogether ter-
Teftrial, crawled heavily along
the ground ; the second is agil
ity icfelf, and so far from limit
ing its motions to the earth,
that it in some measure disdains
to repofc on its lap—The firft
has no peculiar beauty ; the o
tlier is arrayed in colours of
the most exquisite glow—the
former confines itfcif to a gross
food: whereas the butterfly ran
ges from flower to flower, re
gales itfelf with honey anddetvs,
and perpetually varies its pleas
ures : This new animal enjoys
all nature at liberty; and is
h^rfelf one of the most amiable
cmbellifhments.
VIRTUE,
VIRTUE is the.daughter of
Heaven ; happy they who cul
tivate it from their infancy ;
they pass their youth in sereni
ty, their manhood in tranquili
ty, and their o|d age without re
morse; there is nothing in this
world fit to be compared to it ;
all its wishes and desires tend
to celestial enjoyments, which
are not liable to achange. The
virtuous man looks back upon
his part conduct without regret,
because his fate cannot be un
happy. , His mind is the feat
of cheerfulnefs, and bisections
are the foundation of felicity;
he is rich amidst poverty, and
? no onte can deprive him ofwhat
he possesses, he is all perfection, I
for his life is spotless ; and he
has nothing to wish for, firice
he possesses every thing. Alex
ander was celebrated for his
courage, Ptolemy for his learn
ing, Trajan for his love of truth,
Antonius for his piety,Confl,n
tius for his temperance, Scipio
for bis continence, and Theo
docius for his humility. O
glorious virtue, which, in some
way or other, rewardeft all thy
admirers and without whom
there can be no real happiness !
ANECDOTE.
OOME years since, a sober,
D zealous, £OTme&i@t par
son went to chatechife a fami
ly in his parifc who were not
so well versed in the rudiments
of divinity as many are: when
arrived he thought proper to
begin with Lois, the eldefl
daughter, a girl about eighteen,
arid buxom as May—whose
charms had smitten the young
village swains with an epidem
ick. "Well Lois," said the
parson, “Ifhall begin with you;"
—-come tell me who died for
you ?”—Loir, with a charming
slush in her cheek, replied—
" why nobody as I know on.''
—The parson, rather, furprized
at her answer, repeated his ques
tion with increasing zeal—"Lo-C
is, I fay, tell me who died for
you ?"—Poor Lois rather irri
tated at the inquisitive Parson,
again replied Why ^sdy, fir—
there was Tom Dawson lay bed
rid for me, about fix months,
but folks fays he got about a
gairi."

TN the month of Aoguft, in the year
li777>aI i777> a y°hrig man of about 18 years
of age, of the name of Frederick William
Seitz,, of Manheim, Germany, left Lon
don and went on board of a tranfpott
then failing tor America. •
Numberiefs letter# and enquiries hav
ing hitherto been entirely in vain ; an
aged father, and unhappy family, and
the most fervent desire of embracing a
gaioa forlorn son, who from a fa lfe no
tion of honor, even now, after a long
series of years, might be induced to elude
every pursuit, in the name of humanity,
do request the favor of every compassion
ate citizen of America, who could have
any knowledge of him, to dry up, if
possible, the tears of his friends, by
transmitting an account of his present
situation, if he be still alive, or any in
formation in their power to the publifh
er-of the Philadelphia Gazette, or to
Mr. Ulrich Henche, Secretary to the
Amsterdam and American post offices;
