Friar died rhe other day.
And straight to hell he took his way—
There he flood knocking at the gne,
And wonder’d why they made him wait.
At length a page hom fatan came,
And thus addrefs’d him in his name ; \
** Monk, you mufl quickly quit these borders,
We know the tenets of your orders,
Maxims that shuck our whole abodes.
They fay on earth, you eat your God I
Above, il you are so uncivil,
We fear below, you’ll eat :he Devil.”

HE brave champion Char
bonnet, sent to Bolton to exer
cise the functions of Consul of
the Republic of France per in
terim, who was a little awk
ward in his new office, from the
Wheel-Barrow to the seal of the
French Republic. The leap
. was great, but Citizen Charbon
net was equal to it 5 with the
words Sans Culottes, Liberti Ega

nece^ary abilities and moral
principles-;nor was it without
effc& at firff, but after it was re
p^atedjit could no more operate 5
and the Manof ajhes was known
under the diplomatic coat.
Many pedons from whole house
he had wheeled ASHES,knew him,
but previous to their accosting
him, you might have this an
fwer — 'Bis not I—look at my coat,
and he wheeled round. One
day he was invited to dinner at
Mr. T. R’s. whose kindnefs'and
’ hofptality is ffaared by every
Granger. Citizen C. not kno w
. Ing the Bofton etiquette for din
ner time, entered the room at
12 o’clock, so that he had three,
hours to wait 5 but this Imall
disappointment was ^mply made
up, in the conversation of Mrs.
Ri to whom he spared ^nothing
in displaying every accomplilh
Moralid ! where’er you move,
O’er v*ft nature’s varying plan ;
x Every changing feene ihall prove,
A Jad epitome of man !
J"J’ARK the hollow moaning wind,
Sweeps along the midnight air;
Sullen as the guilty mind.
Hidden source of dark despair.
Seethe death-wing’d lightnings fly ;
Defolationmarks their way ;
Fatal as the vengeful eye.
Fixing on his dellin’d prey.
Dreadful thunders threat’ning roll
View Jess, ’no id It the turbid clbuds ;
So the fierce relentless foul.
Hate’s cmpoifon’d arrow Ihiouds.
See the billowy ocean’s bread, >
Sway’d by every wav’ring wind ;
Riles, foams, and finks to,reft.
Fickle as the human mind.
Sweetly blooms the rote of May,
Gliit’ring with the tears of morn j
So, insidious smiles betray,
While they hide the treach’rous thorn.
Mark gay Summer't glowing [rime,
Shadow’d by the twilight gloom
So, the ruthless wing of time
Bends the faireft to the tomb.

ment, that liberal nature and
the most regular and polite edu
cation had laviftied on his per
son. Mrs, R. listened to him
with her usual complaisance and
affability. Citizen Consul would
wheel on the tip \of his toes,
and hum a tune—he was beside
himfelf— he was no longer a
Conful —he fancied himfelf the
Ambassador of the Republic.—
The table was let, a large and
elegant dinner invited both the
appetite and the eyes, when lo 1
for the expiation of his fins, a
Lady entered the room,who had
been his scholar at Philadelphia
—O rage—O despair ! figure to
yourfelf a hungry Wolf, which
is taken away from his prey.—
Shame got the better, Citizen
Consul 'marched off, carrying
with him hunger, and cursing
Liberty and Equality.
From tbe Mercury.
Mr. Young,
jV^ARAT was the Editor of
a paper in Paris, and Hone is the
Editor of one in Bofton —Marat
was assassinated for liis horrid,
bloody condudl, and Hone is
laughed at for his nonlenle —
Marat was an ill looking dog,
and Hone has the appearance of
a gentleman —Marat was a man
of spirit, and Hone is a coward
—However duped the Printers of
the Chronicle might have been
hitherto,the young man that has
since commenced one, difeovers
not a little independence —the
papers for some months past
have appeared more tolerable,
and the public have hoped that
it would soon become a decent:
paper.—Yesterday, however, we
were diverted with a monstrous
fight of fluff, and the protefls,
were “ for as much”—as NO
THING ; manufaftured inNew-
York, they adorned the Inde
pendent Chronicle, and put one
in mind of Du Buc’s protest, at
Cooper’s Office against the go
vernment of France. Dannery,
it is believed is a polite man, and
undoubtedly a gentleman —that
he might live long and happy in
Boston is to be wished ; unhap
py for him that at this moment
he is obliged to disgust the peo
ple. It will not be long (the veil
being torn away) before the true
friends of liberty will be difeov
ered, and the rights of man will
evidently appear—then the? de
nunciations by a Foreign Mini
fter,and even Confute themselves,
against WASHINGTON—yes,
that WASHINGTON, who has
evidenced himfelf to be the firft
patriot in the world, will be
sneered at The declarations
that he is non compos mentis,
and that he ought to have a
guardian (to be appointed by
Genet) will appear funny, when
the protest of I “ REPRESENT
TATIVE of the French nation,”
which renders invalid the doings
of the Supreme Executive of the
United State, by a Angle touch
in the Chronicle, will be laugh
ed at—and when the writer of
this will have repented for hav
ing made Hone of so much con
lequence. Seventy-Five. -

ANECDOTES,
Certain clergyman in 'this
State, contraded with his people
to pay him 1201- per annum ; he
preached several years, Sc found
them unable to comply with the
contrail, and himfelf under the
neceftity of leaving them; where
upon, according to custom, he
preached a farewell sermon from
these words, Matt. 4th Chap.
Bth Sc 9th verses, “Again the D
evil taketh him up into an exceed
ing high mountain and the we th
him all the kingdoms of the
world Sc the glory of them ; and
said unto him,all these things will
I give thee,if thou wilt fall down
and worship me.” The good
man, after ftiewing the connec
tion of the text, with its con
text, observed ift, that the poor
devil was not proprietor of any
part of the premises. held up to *
view, hence made the following
natural inference, that it was a
devil ifli trick, or a trick of the
devil, for a person, or people, to
promise more than they can per.
tAIN Officer in the late war
journeying through a country
town, flopped at a Tavern ; be
ing seated by a fire, he entered
in to conversation with an elder*
ly looking gentleman, who by
his difeourfe, convinced the offi
cer that he was no fool of a ma
thematician —^ray fir, lays the
officer, as you appear to be a
great scholar, can you tell me
how long it would take me to
jurmount an iufurmomitable diffi
culty —yes, replied the old man,
just as long as it will take you to
find the bottom of a bottomless pit
—Faith fays the officer, that’s
too deep for me, and mad^ off
as faft as ^could.
