A VENERABLE farmer in Mont
g'omeryfliire, whose age was on
the wrong fide of eighty, waited the
other day upon his landlord, in order
to obtain a renewal of his lease, which
expires next Lady-day. His farm be
ing at an easy rent (rather contrary to
the present cuftom)might be advanced
considerably ; but as the farmer is an
honest old tenant, the owner of it did
not wish to advance upon him, only
alked him for how long a time he
would wish to renew his lease ? To
which the old gentleman answered,
" For ninety nine years !" The
landlord (tho' willing to accommodate
him with it at a moderate rent was not
willing that a very distant relation of
his should enjoy the fame indulgence)
expostulated with the farmer on the
impropriety of granting a lease to a
man of his age for so long a time,
having neither wife,child, nor grand
child ; therefore proposed to renew it
for twenty-one years. The old tenant
not relilhing this proposal, exclaimed
in a very angry manner,"What ! do
you expe& that I will fubjed myfelf to
remove, or quit at the expiration of
twenty or thirty years ? No, no, I can
assure you Sir, that Fam not such a
noddle." The gentleman, in hopes of
aifuaging his displeasure, offered to
renew the lease for the term of the old
man's natural life. On this a visible
change appeared in the old farmer's
countenance, who having a half pint,
mug in his hand, filled it with ale to
the'brim, and, taking his landlord by
the hand, said with tears of joy in his
eyes,"Mafter, this is the best offer I
ever had in my life, and far preferable
to the ninety-nine years; therefore I'll
drink your health in this bumper
wishing you may long live to enjoy
your estate, and I my new lease."

who have demands against

of Brintwood, deceased, are de

Britwood, July 17, '79 2 '
W ben thou, with innocence, art gone,
How fad, how terrible to live!
Domefti: happiness alone
A pure tranquility can give.
'Tis night—our care is thrown aside,
Our lisping pratlers lull'd to rest ;
Through every vein I feel thee glide,
And press my Julia to my bieall.
ODE TO SLEEP.
OSLELP ! to thy fedu&ive charms
My clay with gladness I resign;
Let madmen court the din of arms.
The rapture of repose be mine :
Let others watch the .midnight Iky,
The cavern's horrid gulf descend,
Above the cloud on smoke-bags fly,
Or to the pole their passage rend.
For me 'tis just enough to read
The terrors of the frozen sea ;
No bursting wave shall drench my
head.
No starting plank Qiall banish thee.
No burning desert shall I range,
No nabob rack in quest of gold,
Can peace admit a fair exchange ?
Are thy embraces to be fold ?
Exemplified by the following narrative.
''ONCE A MAN TWICE A CHILD."
