DURING the reigri of King
James 11, and when the peo
ple were much.opprefled and bur
dened with taxes, that monarch
made a very expensive tour thro’
England y and on his return he
slept at the Palace of Wifrchefter.
The Mayor and Corporation, for
the honour done them by this roy
al visit, determined to address his
Majesty in the morning j but as
the Mayor could neither read nor
tyn/e, it was agreed the Recorder
should prompt him on the Occa
sion.
Accordingly, being introduced
into the royal presence ; and every
thing ready for the ceremony, the
Recorder byway of encouraging
the May^, who appeared auk'
ward and em bar a fled, gently jog
ged his elbow, and at the fame
time whispered in his ear, “ Hold
up your head, look like a man.’*
The Mayor mistaking this for the
begining of the speech, stared the
King in the face, and with a loud
voice repeated, Hold up your
head look like a man/* The Re
corder amazed at this behaviour, a
gain whispered the Mayor, <f What
the devil do yon mean.” The
Mayor, in the fame manner in
stantly repeated, “ What the devil
you meark” The Records

January.
LO ! my fair, the morning hiy.
Peeps abroad from yonder hill;
Prcebos riles red and hazy,
Frod has flopp’d the village mill.
February.
All around looks lad and dreary i
Fast the flaky scow descends j
Yet the red bread chirrups cheary,
While the mitten’d lass attends.
March.
Aife the winds and rock the cottage;
Thaws the roof and wets the path,
Dorcas cooks the savory postage j
Smoaki the cake upon the health.
April.
Suhfliine intermits with ardour,
Shades fly fwiftly o’er th# fields:
Showers revite the drooping verdure,
Sweets the funny upland yields.
May,
Pearly beaths the tyc of morning;
Child I forbear the dead unblefs’d I
Hawthorn every hedgh adorning, *
Pluck the floWers—btif spare the heft 1
June'.
School-boys in the brook disporting.
Spend the sultry hour of play j ,
While the nymphs and fwainaare courting,
Seated on the new-made hay*
July.
Maids/ with' eath a guardian lov^f,
While the vivid lightning flies,
Hastening to the nearest cover,
CWp their hands before their tyitf.
Aucusi 1 .
See the reaper.*, gleaners, dining.
Seated on the shady grass j
O’er the gate the squire reclining,
Wanton eyes each ruddy lass.
September.
Hark ! a found like distant thunder/
Murder^, may thy malice fail I
Torn from all they love asunder/
Widow’d birds around us wail.
OCTOBER.
Now Pomona' pours her treasure,
Leaves autumnal flrew the ground j
Plenty crowns the market measure, /
While the mill runs bri&ly round,
November.
Now the giddy rites of Gomas
Crown the hunter’s dear delight :
Ah ! the year is Hitting from us.
Bleak the day and drear the night.

Join, my frienda, our Ch ri ft mu cheer;
Come, a hatch I—and kiss tha Isflirs—

notwithstanding the opportu

From a late Engijh Paper.
The following image of our
worthy chief magistrate, delivered
in the fame discourse, is fubUme
and expreflive. “Do we not owe
to the mercy of Goo” laid the
Preacher, “ the prudence and

trying and embarraflmg circum

who prefixes at the head of our
government* I fee him like a
rock in the midst of the Ocean,

its waves, Violence, intrigue, fac
tion, dafti themselves to piece* a
