FOR THE RILL.
EARLY RISING*— a song.
Tissot.
YE Fair, who joy in Cynthia's
reign,
And shun the lovely blushing morn,
Spurn not at once my artless strain,
Nor treat the friendly Muse with scorn,
Who bids you all, with her, prepare
To taste the balmy morning air.
Hygi# haunts the flow'ry fields,
E'er Sol's fierce beams their sweets ex
hale ;
The goddess then her treasure yields,
To those, who court the fragrant gale.
Haste then, ye nymphs, to meet her
there,
Amidst the balmy morning air.
In Eden's foft delicious bower,
Where the firft aueddedPAiß reclin'd,
Adam awakes, at early hour,
'^t^veautous mother of mankind.
'afte, lovely Eve, to th' fields repair,
And taste the balm, morning air.
Ve lose the time to mark, how spring
dur tended plants ; nor do we heed
Hour nature lays her colors on;
What drops the myrrh, & balmy reed—
Haste to yon citron grove, my fair,
And taste the balm, morning air.k
Then, Celia, leave thy downy bed,
When the shrill Lark awakes the
dawn,
Nor fear the dewy vale to tread.
Or trip a crofe the flowery lawn.
Leave caprice, avhim, and bravely dare,
To tafteTHE BALMY MORNING AIR.
PASTORELLA.
* There is, in the morning, a healing balm,
that arises from the fields and gardens,
•which may be called the friend of
health.
+ The foregoing parage is dressed in rhyme
\ from Milton.

'ANECDOTE.^-
AT Hamftead aft mbly, feme
years face, an IriJh gentle
man, who danced with great ,pita,
though not perhaps with artbe
grace of a Veftris, was obfer^d
.by a macaroni, in the fame country
dance, who immediately began mi-.,
micking him in the most extrava
gant manner. The Irijhman took
no notice for some time, but feeing
himfelf the general objeß of laugh
ter, be came very deliberatetffp
to the mimic, and aJked, Why he
presumed to take him off? Me, %,
Jays the other, you mistake the
matter ; it is my natural way of
dancing. Is it,faid the Hibety
nian,feemingly accepting the ell
cufe, well, to be fore, nobodyraiL
help what is natural ; but, barg\
my friend, be fare you continue in
that natural fiep all night ; for^
you once attempt to make it artifi
cial, I will break every bone in
your /kin — The poor macaroni
was obliged to fubjeribe to the few
tence, to the no small amusement,
as well as fatisfaffion of the whole
company.
MISCELLANY^
CUTTING of BUSHES.
THE curious and learned Dr.
ELLIOT, in bisfourth efX
fay on Field HuJbandry, informed
bis readers, be was in hopes, that
be bad found certain timesjor cu
ting bufoes, which would be merA
effectual for their deJiruction i^an
any yet difeovered; and fbefeued
it so, be would give notice of it,\
and after various and re;- ^a:
trials be tells us in bis fxtb eff,A
that be is glad be is able to perfa'
bis promise. The times are in/%
moin »s oj June, Tay and Augtf;'
in tbe old of the moon, that day
the sign is in the heart.—He tells ,
on one of tbefe days be sent a man
to make trial; ingoing to the place,
some of bis neighbors underflariding
his bufnefs, and the reason of bis,
going at that point of time, they all\
went to their land, and cut buJhes
also on that day, tbiers were tall j
buJhes that bad never been cut,|
bis own were Jhort ones, fueb as'
bad been often cut, but to no pur
pose, without it was to increase
numbers ; the conference was,
that it killed so unroerf ally that
scarce one in a hundred, is left
alive; the trial has been made in
federal places on the fame day,
with the fame success. —Tofhew
fueb a regard to tbe signs may in
cur the imputation of ignorance or
fuper/lition ;for the learned know
well enough, that the divifan of the
zodiac into twelve Jigns, and that
appropriating tbefe to the several
parts of the animalsbody, is not c>«
division of nature, but of art ; con
trived by astronomers for conve
niency. It is also well known the
moon's attraction has peat- influ
ence on all fluids. It is also well
known to farmers, that jbere are
times when bushes, if cut at such
atime, will universally die. 4
regard to the sign, as it serves to
point out and direct to the proper
time,fo it becomes worthy of ob
servation. If farmers attend the
time, with care, and employ bands
on those days, they will find their
account in it. This Rule attend
ed to may save the countryman ma
ny day's labour.
