[ORIGINAL.]
On bearing a man Jay " Any man might be
rich, who was disposed to be.".
WHILE some are boatting of their gold.
And tell how rich they are ;
Say all is owing to their SKILL,
Their prudence and their care.
They give the lie to sacred writ,
And ,with that truth dispense,
Which fays that riches ne'er was giv'n
To men of common sense.
' But time and chance o'er^rules the whole,
With fortune's ebb and flow ;
And often takes from men of sense
To fatten fools below. _ JUVENIS.

AN EXTRACT.
“ CURS'D be the day, how bright foe'er it fhin'd
That firtt made kings the mailers of mankind ;
And curs'd the wretch, who firft with regal pride
Their equal rights, to equal men deny'd ;
But curs'd o'er all, who firft to flav'ry broke—
. Sutmillive bow'd, and own'd a monarch's yoke;
Their servile fouls, his arrogance ador'd,
And basely own'd a brother for a lord ;
Hence wrath and blood, & feuds and wars began,
And man turn'd monster to his fellow man."
IMPROMPTU.
THO' beauty m„ charm, and tho' youth may
invite,.
'Tis aflediun alone can the senses delight !
For the cheek like the rose niay its bluflies djfplay,
And the young dance on flowerets to drive care
away,
But if youth has no feeling, dur hearts to beguile,
And if beauty's foft cheek be not dreft with a
finite,
'Tis a picture, whose colours may pleasure im
part.
But whole torch nor enamors nor fixes the heart
EPIGRAM.
Whpt ! always gaming night and day !
Says Sylvia to her brother :
Will you ne'er leave it off 1 pray ?
Dear filter yes—some time or other :
I'll throw the dice and cards aside,
When you coqueting ceafe,~—
Go, naughty man, Sylvia reply'd,
Thou'lt be a gamester all thy days.

SENSIBILITY, altho' the source of our most
exquisite enjoyments, yet, by exposing us to dan
ger from every quarter, and rendering us vulner
able on every fide, too often occasions our most
lading inquietudes.
The opulent and the gay hear the cries of mife.
ry around them with the fame indifference that
one hears the temper grumble when flickered
front its fury.
He who laughs at the caution he needs, and
ridicules the person who gives it, pays his own
underhanding a miserable compliment.
That complacency and joy which we exper
ience after having done a good a:d generous ac
tion, mud convince us that a perpetual source of
pleasure, a fatisfaftion inexpressibly delightful,
will be found in a constant and regular practice
of benevolence.-

A tender, loving wife being on her death bed,'

you .will marry again. My dear, said he, be aflur
, ed 1 Will not. Why then, said Ihe, lam afraid
r>u will do worse. Indeed, my dear, replied he,

A husband asked his wife when the was dying,
who she would have him marry ? are you in such
hade, said the ? why then marry the devil's mother.
No, fays be, I d6n't care to commit incest, for I
have matched with his daughter already.•
An Oxford scholar blowing his fire, the nose of

I fee 'tis chid weather, for the nose of my bellows
drops.
