A fine powdered butterfly fell in love with a
beautiful rose, which expanded its charms in a
. neighboring parterr: Matters were soon adjur
ed between them, and they voded eternal fidelity.
Tbc ^itterfl", perfectly fatisfied with the fuccels
of his amour, took a tender leave and did^ot re
turn again till noon. " What !" said the rose,
when the law him approaching, "is the ardent
nafnon von avowed so soon extinguished . is an
since vow paid me a visit ; but ho wonder, tor
1 observed you courting by turns every flower in
the warden.” “ Von little coquette," replied the
Butterfly, “ it well becomes you truly, to re
proach me with my gallantries, when , faft, I
only &,py the example which you y,,lf have
fer me —for, not to mention the fatufabon with
Which you admitted the kisses of the fragrant Ze
for, did I not fee you displaying your charms to
the Fly, rhe Bee, the Wasp, and in fhfrnconr
the addresses of every buzz,ng infect that
fluttered within your view? If you will be a co
queue, you mull expert to find me inconstant.
An Indian being taken before a justice for cut
ting a tree on the sabbath, the justice brought in
that he was guilty, not only of trespass, but also of
a breach of the Abhath ; therefore, that he must
pay a fine. After fettling it, he demanded a re
ceipt. The jaftice put him off, by telling him
there was no need of it. He Rill infilled upon it ;
the justice told him, that if he would make it ap
pear that a receipt would do him any good, he
would grant it : The Indian replied," ' Tis best
<< to have things fare ; for, perhaps, by and by,
"you die; an Indian being a little tougher, per
«haps, I live a little longer ; then 1 die, and go up
«ro God's house, and knock. 'Ah ! who comes
"there ?' I mult tell ! it wont do to tell lies there :
"Well have you fettled for cutting the tree on the
"sabbath day yes. fir.—' Were is your receipt ?
"(have not any.— Then I mult go away, along
"down from God's boufe, to HELL, to get a re
"ceipt of you, hr ; but if you will give me one
''now, it wi^ save me all that trouble."
The custom of dining late increases an hour in
each fnccelJire year, among the Parisian fashiona
bles. Two years ago they dined at four o clock,
last year at five, and this at hx, so that we may
compute in five or fix years they will not dine till
the day after.
A FABLE—for the Ladies.
Gone are the roses that adorn'd her face,
Dull is the fire that sparkled in her eyes:
Her form no more retains its wanted grace,
For her, no more the enamor'd lover sighs.
Too busy fame reports the rueful tale,
Her name's the sport of every babbling tongue;
O'er Jland'zow tea her sex the news retail,
It fl ; ~ the theme of every drunkard's foug.
She who so late in virtue's garden bloom'd,
The fweetefl flower beneath the cheerful Iky,
Is now to want or firoftit tition doom'd,
To hear the jest cbfcene, the lew'd reply.
May Heaven's dread vengeance Hill the wretch
pursue;
May Infamy dill fatten on his name ;
Who from fair honor's path the virgin drew, -
And gave her up'to poverty and shame.
May love ne'er bless his solitary hours,
Nor Hymen light for him the sacred flame ;
May peace ne'er lead him to her quiet bowers,
Ner bright ey'd science point the path to fame.

On Going to Church.
SOME go to Church just for a walk,
Some go there to laugh and talk ;
. Some go there for (peculation,
Some go there for observation ;
Some go there to meet a lover,
Some the impulse off discover ;
Some go there to meet a friend,
Some go there the time to spend;
Some go to learn th' Parson's name,
Some go there to wound his fame ;
Many go there to dose and nod,
But few go there to worship God.

EPIGRAM.
The cruel robber leaves her to defp&r,
And vilely triumphs in his rutblefsdeed ;
Grief rends her heart, and prompts the incessant
tear,
And all her joys and youthful hopes are fled.
Through the lone Glide, while all was peace and
love,
At eve they walk'd, he urg'd his powerful
flame ;
The fpringiug flower,, the conscious silent grove,
That hour, alas ! were witness to her fliame.
From his smooth tongue such well-teign'd flattery
fell,
Maria's yielding bosom own'd his sway ;
Blinded by love, the listened to his tale,
And gave, too soon, her virgin heart away.
Among the rest, young Florio wan'd the fair,
A fiultlefs form/ were tirengtn and beauty
join'd,
He own'd of Fortune's gifts an ample fliare,
But falfe and cruel was his narrow mind.
AN ELEGY.
FAIR ae the fifter-forms that poets feign,
Maria grew beneath a mother's eye;
Struck with her beauty, many a youthful Twain,
Felt Love's keen dart, and heav'd the buriting
sigh.
Confound the Doctor and his pills,
And all his fa!ves, and all his fquills,
Bis mortars, crucibles and Hills,
Which swell the lift of human ills.
Create uncenfcionable bills,
And many a clever fellow kills.

A VOLUME
Worth mines of filter and jewels of gold !
°Jufl Publijhed
and for sale by C. PEIRCE, &
W. TREADWELL & Co. at their refpettive floret
That inimitable work, intitled,
The Saints Everlasting Rest,
Or a Treatise on the blessed Rate of SAINTS, in
their enjoyment of God in Glory, fa three
parts, all bound in 1 volume, price 6J.
We hope that every family will become posses
sors of this volume, and inherit the blessings there
in so feelingly delineated. We think a dollar can
not be better applied, than to the purdbafe of this
book—and a perofal of it would doubly repay a
ny one of their time and trouble. The Way of
salvation by a Redeemer if animaringly deferred,
and enforced, with rhe molt pleating perfuafives.
The Saints' Rest beautifully defined; and rhe care
less and thoughrlefs part of mankind cautioned to
avoid the rocks and shoals upon which thousands,
it is to be feared have split.
It is hoped that the publishers will not be dis
appointed in their anticipations of a rapid sale of
this truly valuable work.
