O ZlON's Gad and K ; ng, arise,

And lee thy grace fulfil
Th fe glorious things, ordain'd of old,

When aJ shall know thy will.

Let cruel War lay waft, the world,
Borne on a arim%en flood ;
Bid warring motions quit the field,
Th' inglorious work of carnage yield,
And fly the feene of blood.
Bur set the nation free ;

And make Oppression Hee.

N. B. The Sow was young and of the
smaller breed of hogs ; though I have
traveled much, I never saw pork so fat
and good. The pigs were aged just 10
months, excepting 1, which by being
disorderly and mifehievous, come to an
untimely end, at the age of 6 months and
weighed 139 bs:

Ze Farmers of Hampshire, whether lories or
whigs,
Come try your luck once in raffing Spring pigs,
To beat the above one cannon be found,
I'll bet him a wager of five hundred pounds !

When eirth (hall own its LORD ;
All nations worship at his throne,

And taste his pardoning word.

tomer, he was met by a neighbor,who ac
colted him with great eagerness, to in
form him of a great victory obtained by
the Duke of York. In listening to tris,
he let fall the caif's head, and in the heat
of vexation, exclaimed, 66 Damn the Duke
of York, I wfh hit head was tn m, oven,
cohere this calf's head has been." The or
gan blower of St. Paul's church being in
formed of the expression, embraced the
opportunity of (hewing his loyalty, and
Iwithout loss of time, went to the Mayor
Iwith information of the baker's factitious
words ; but the Marvor having sense e
nough to discern between seditious inten
tion and in advertent expressions, declined
Itaking cogniz mce ofit. Mr. organ-blow
'er, encouraged by the luccefs of those who
have lately taken up tue honorable proses

Determined, however, to persevere, at
the opening of the Court for the late As
size, when proclamation as ulual was
made, desiring all perlons who have infor
mation to give to come forth. Mr. organ
blower fated the seditious expri ffions of
the baker, and made compaints again!
the Mayor and Migiftrates for not bein.
equally zealous with himfelf. The judge
ordered the Mayor to take his ex mina
tion and fend it to the Treafury,which was
done; and the Solicitor to the Treasury
has inftruded the Mayor, that if the ba
leer will beg pardon and find two furetie,
i gol.each for his good behavior, the bu

While the tongue is useless to him who
is defined by dillrefs, to reside among
those pra& sing an unknown language, we
find the language of Masonry, capable
of unfolding through every clime, the
farce sentiments, and creating the fame
emotions. A gentleman of Edinburgh who
was shipwrecked on the reef of rocks near
the island of Madagascar, and who lived
on said island 8 months, through the for
tune of war, was at length landed at Ma
rirafs, where, though he could net exer
cife the power of general speech, yet by
being a Brother, had other powers ofma
king himfelf known, and received a Char
liable gift of 650 livres from the fountain
of that benevolent institution, a donation
made by the Members of the Quivze
Artistes Lodge, at that place.
L ADY LANE was presiding one evening
at the Card Table, when her ruffles caught
the fire of a candle ; Lord Littleton, in
sending to be witty on the accident, said,
that " he did not think her ladyship was so
apt to take fire." Nor am I,my lord, from
such a /park as you."
A GENTLEM AN by the name of vir
gin, unfortunately married a Cyprian dis
ciple. Upon difeovering his mistake,
ne propoled a separation. She remonstra
ted strongly.—He tartly replied —" Mad
am, l leave you, what 1 did notfnd you."
ACULPRI F at the old B..iley, upor
receiving sentence of death, begged
the jud;e, not to add, " and the Lore
nave mercy upon your foul," foi, fays he,
I never knew any body thrive after your
piayers.
