THE Earl of Rochester, of facetious memory,
returning home one dark night in a Rate of intox
ication, Mumbled into a blacksmith's ihop, and
fell down under the bellows, where he laid in a
dead deep. It happened the next morning, that
the blacksmith with his journeymen went to
their work before the dawn of day, and perceiv
ing the motion of the bellows to be obllrutted,
they heated each iron red hot and nfed them as
candles, for the purpose of difcuveting the ob
llruttion.
At this inflant his lordihip awoke, and behold
Ing around him a number of sooty men with red
hot irons pointed at his head, he immediately
concluded himfelf to be in the infernal regions.
In the mean time, the maker blacksmith thus ac
coded him in an angry tone ; " Who be yon ?
and from whence did you come ?"—Poor Rcch
etter, trembling in every joint, replied, “ Wh n
I was in the other world 1 was the Earl of Roch
erter, a peer of the realm ofEngland ; but now 1
am whatever your devidhips may please to call
me."
The firft night the pantomine of Fortnnrtus was
performed lass teafon, at Drury-lane Theatre, a
player was placed at the wing to go on & relieve
tone Os the petrified figures that appear in fuccef
lion in that place.-—' Go on? go on ! (said the
Prompter, when it to his turn) 'tis not my turn
yet (said the fellow) lam not to go on 'till Mr.
Grimaldi is putrified.
i^fo,.
It is Sweet ! It is Charming ! It is Beautiful !
THE words Jweet, charming and beautiful, are
of peculiar tife in the sublimely vague dialed of
sentiment, for by having no meaning at all in their
application, they may be made to mean an,
thing.
Narcissa had just returned from her evening
ramble, when to be sure, the had a charming
walk, the Moon shone Jweetly, and it was a beau
tiful ni^bt.
Moll had beat the Dog 'till flie raised the
whole family with his bowlings. When inquiry
was made what the difficulty was ? Behold the
fancy brute had fpilt a beautiful pail of fwilf.
Goody Truckle, if she could have walked on
three now, half as well as she could once on two;
would have taken Goody Trot dowb cellar to
have (hewn her charming barrel of pork.
it was expelled the Jp?cklef,ullet would lay
two eggs a day, because JdttNNY had built a Jweet
hen fourth
A comtoifTeur only would have underflood the
following :
Says NEO to Jack, don't you think Miss Snap
a charming little tvad ? —Not so very agreeable
neither, fays Jack. You miftate brother, fa,S
Neo, the dre^esfleetly, her form in charming and
foe lings beautifully.
Strangers tometimes make gross miflakes.
Monsieur had been in the country but a little
time ; but by close application had acquired' a
good gramatical knowledge of onr language. He
had bv his own enquiries, and the affirtance of his
inftru&r, found out the epithet facet, had refer
ence to the Jmell or b^le, charming to fometing
vocal, and beautiful to some triable object ; that
it wos therefore proper to fay a Jweet tape, or a
Jweet flavor, a charming finger, a beautiful prof
pelt or a beautiful woman —With all this informa
tion however he was entirely unacquainted with
the more fashionable application of these terms,
which alone can appoiogize for the following
bln nder.
His landlady among other specimens of her eco
nomy, was one day expiating on her frugality in
having fatted a hog by the flops and crumbs of her
own faring and concluded this panegyric by de
claring that it was a beautiful hog.—Monsieur
told her that he had been in the country but a lit
tle tone, had seen but a few of its curiosities and
that it would make him very happy to fee her
beautiful hog. Upon the approach of his bene
factor to the yard, this paragon of ugliness, disso
nance, and flench, accofied her with his trfuai
melody, which however, at this time hangar had
made more forenous than ever.—There Monsieur,
fays madam, is not this a beautiful hog? Why
madam, fays he, with a little amazement, I have
' seen hogs look very much like him before; do
yon call him handsome? But Moufieur, is not a
charging hog ; Upon my honour, madam ; he
does 'make a grunt exactly like onr hogs. But
fay, MonGenr,fars madam, is it not a Jweet hoc ?
Sweet ! lie may take very well ; but by Gar he
does Jmell lull like oor hogs in France.

The Rich and the Poor.
.THE rich have the mod m at ; th° poor have
the belt appetite. The rich lie foftert ; the poor
sleep founded. The rich have delicacies : the
poor have health. The rich ar, afraid of hfing ;
thepoor have nothing to lose, and so in this re
spect have nothing to fear. The rich dread the
midnight robbers ; the poor have no apprehen
sions of being robbed. Th rich hang themselves
through fear of poverty ; the poor (such as have
always been pqor) laugh and dance and bug and
love their lives too well to put their necks into
the noose.

' The Soldier's lajl Retreat.
ALAS I the battle', Tolland won ;
Dick - Flint's borne off the field,
+ By Death, troth whom the domett run,
Who makes whole armies yield.
Dick well in honour's footdeps trod;
Brav'd war and its alarms ;
Now Death, beneath the humble sod,
Has grounded his arms.
Dick's march'd before us on a route,
Where ev'ry soldier's font ;
His fire is dead, his courage out,
His ammunition fpentk:
Hisform, so active, now a clod ;
His grace uo longer charms;
For Death, beneath the humble fed,
Has grounded his arms.
Come, fire a volley o'er his grave ;
Dead marches let us beat ;
War's honours well become the brave,
Who found their lad retreat :
All mud obey Fate's awful nod,
Whom life this moment warms ;
Death, foot! of late, beneath the sod,
Will ground the soldier's arms.

To REPUBLICANS.
This work is designed to diflemlnate Truth a-.
mong the deceived and uninformed part of your
fellow-citizens ; to wipe off the mills of delufiori
from the eyes of those who are led artray by the
foes of the Rights of Man, and lay open to view
the defigiis, arts and intrigues of such characters,
and to amnfe and edify those übo have cnlifted
under the banners of Repiiblicanifm, as defenders
of the liberties of their country, agaiurt arbitrary
and unjurt p.rfecution. Having already received
very liberal encourag.tnent, the Proprietors flat
ter thernfehes that the undertaking will prove
fuccefsfu!, if patronized by you, u hose hands have
been often outfiretched to fuppurt the lounc,tian
of American freedom, against the intrigues of a
powerful ariilocracy, who have endeavored by
mifreprefeutation, unconstitutional and improper
laws, large bodies of mercenary troops, &c. &c.
to fubVert the firrt principles of your government,
and render the Conhitution useless. in order that
one more confident with their wishes, might be
reared up on its ruins. The characters and con
duct of all ranks and degrees of Citizens, will e-/
ver be refpeQed, and nothing foall be admitted in
the pages of the Patriot, which may introduce
either to public view, unleis their pursuits evince a
disposition to sap the platform of Republicanism,
when, every meafofe will be taken to warn its
friends of the approaching danger, and all re
fh-aint dispensed with, in order that the foes of
Columbia, may feel the lafli of a vigilant and faith,
ful Sentinel. Advertifenients will be excluded
unlels of real importance to the Republican inter

often told his female friends, that " a dilligent &

“it you would be wealthy, think of saving a#
well as getting''—And that
“ Many estates arc spent in the getting,
Since women for tea forfrok Spinning and knitting,
And men for their punch forfook hewing and [putting."

And take some care to save your RAGS.
