A well meaning country lass, who was going to
town for service, as the parting advice of a fond
father, (who had heard her place had been pro
cured in the family of a Duke) received an admo
nition, when answering, to fay Grace inHead of
Sir. This injunction ihe kept so sacred, that a
journey of near two hundred miles had no in
fluence towards eradicating it from her memory.
Introduced into the family, some days palled with
out having feeri the Duke, when one morning (he
happened to meet him in a passage from the stair
case, so narrow that he could not but observe her ;
feeing her rather pretty, jocosely said, '' so, how
do you like your place ?" “ Very wel, she re
plied, “ for what we have received the Lord make
its truly thankful." He fmiled,^ may naturally
be supposed, but being remarkably good-natured,
anted her which she preferred, town or country ~
She, true (as she thought) to he, father's advice,
laid, very modestly, “ the town ; God s holy
name be praised and blessed for this prefect re
frelhment, and for all his mercies from time to
tirne^" °
When the Britifi troops were on their retrogade
march from the memorable battle of Lexington
in a Major, in theif army, received a wound
in the cheek with a goose fhotfrtbe General told
him the Yankees muff certainly have miitakea him
for aGoofe, or they would not have used him so ill.

CoWof a letter from a member of Congrejs inf hi

afri:3. ^VX^'
By this mail 1 fend you two different editions of,
Rofs's Bill, "for preventing the people of Benn-,
fylvania from having any share ih the next presi
dential election, and for keeping Mr. Jefferfon
from the chair, right or wrong.",; This is the mol
impudent and base faced thing I ever saw, and
ought to be severely handled in the newspapers.—
Here, no notice is now taken of it in the papers,
the senate having early suppressed difeuffion by
their attack on the editor of the Aurora, for pub-,
lilbing the bill in its firft form ; faying that it was
a fcaudalous libel on the senate to have published
what had palled in Mofyform ; they have now pass
ed it io a much v^rje form ! So exceptionable,
that old Judge Livermore, who was one of the
committee that bro't it in, and a warm advocate
for the measure, declared it to be too abommable
% Others of its friends fled the yeas and nays;
and fume who voted for it, apologized for their
votes by faying that they could not approve of d,

VERSES
addressed to a Young Lady, accompanied with a
Roje-bud.
TO MYRA.
SWEET are thy buds, Oh April !—fun and
Lowers
Promise to every stem, the brightest flowers,
Frost from thy happy days is driven away,
And spring fits playful on the lap of May.
Congenial ikies thy genial influence own,
And earth with flowrets strews thy happy throne,
Myra ! to thee due homage let me pay ;
Flourish, rejoice, id April's gladd'ning day.
Thy Spring will vanish shortly. Age's frolt
Shall view thy roses and thy lilies Iplt.
Then let utility thy thoughts engage,
And in the spring of life, reflect on age.
This April-bud, which blossoms on thy breast,
More there than in its native regions bleft,
Advises thee, and every other maid,
Spring, with the flowers of spring, mud fwiftly
fade.
Be then this truth imprefs'd upon your mind ;
In youth be gentle, affable and kind.
Thus age (hall rational delight bestow,
And April's rose-buds in December glow. .

RECEIPT
TO MAKE A FASHIONABLE LADY.
TAKE about eight yards of gingham or ffprig
muffin, that is seemed together, in form of a
churchman's pulpit robe. Slip on this easy frock,
draw it across the shoulders—girt it round and
across the middle ; and let the end of it sweep at
least a quarter on the ground. The flowing tres
ses which nature in her luxuriance designed to
adorn and cover the shoulder with, mull be fluf
fed with powder, knit at the end and folded up
under the turban a la mode, in the exatt form of
her refrigerating weapon. To the many other
embellishments of the head dress, must be added a
quarter and an half black or green (ilk love crape,
to defend from the insolence of the fun-beams,
and render the inhabitant within mulquito proof.
Place this figure in a pair of red morocco flippers,
and fee her walking on the pavement, Phaeton by
her fide, and the work is complete.
N. B. To make her irrefiftable, she must at ev
cry other step, give the head a-toss, rmack her lips,
and turn up her eyes to her beloved country, the
moon : Make it evident that she is none of the
urean-fpirited beings, that delight on things trior.
A female thus eauipt—all mud confess.
Is more than mortal at her fav'rite glass;„
And when abroad—she doth with nature fhjne,
We'll puffing bow ; and own she nymph.divine.
ANECDOTES.
A remarkable attempt was made on Saturday
night, about 10 o'clock, to commit a robbery upon
a dog. The faithful animal it seems is the pro-;
perty of one Poffon, of Churen-ftreet, Bethnel-,
green, who, working at a factory at Bow, does
not return home above once in a month, but
has for a long time past, made a practice of fend
ing his mother, half a guinea a week by-his dog,
who has always bro't the deposit fafe in his mouth.
Talking lately of the circumstance in a public ;
house, a person was induced to flop the animal on §
Saturday night near his mother's house, when in!
making the attempt, he was so much bitten, that
it is thought the man will loose the use of one of
his fingers ; and, by the interference of a neigh
bor, who knew the dog's errand, was obliged to
relinquilh his fraudulent delign. Lon, pop.

There is nothing which so much exposes the
character of politicians or renders their measures
so suspicious, as their hypocrisy, and their efforts
to make religious dispositions subservient to po
litical intrigues.
"It has been the system of every tyrant and usur

to make the fear of God subservient to purposes
Worthy only of the devil. Caesar and Cromwell

REGULAR GOVERNMENT.
The public consideration is called to the
measure introduced in the House of Repre
sentatives on Monday, by Mr. Parker of
Norfolk — -for the appointment of ADMI
RALS. Whence arises the necessity for
Admirals r Will Commodore Barry or Capt.
Truxton do their duty better as Admirals
than as captains r The institution of such
offices is wholly for the purpose of influence
and the creation of an aristocracy in the
country, a privileged titled class. The
measure in itfelf carries condemnation on
its face, the office of admiral properly be
longs to navies in which there are vessels of
the line, and where actions are likely to be
fought with numerous ships in line of battle.
In this view alone there is an imprudence
in the measure attempted that can be ac
counted for in no other way than from an
idea in the proposers that the people are ca
pable of fuffering any imposition the molt
preposterous. This attempt may be clafied
with the following as charaderifing the pre
sent feflion.
