AND now, the corn-house fill'd the harvest home,
Th' invited neighbors to the Hulking come §
A frohv fceoe where work and ipirtb and play,
Unite their charms, to chafe the hours away.
Where the huge heap lies center'd in the hall,
The lamp fufpemted from the cheerful wall.
Brown corn-fed nymphs, and strong BRI-handed
beaux,
Alternate rang'd, extend in circling rows,
Assume their feats thefolid mass attack ;
The dry hoiks rattle, and the corn-cobs crack ;.
The fang, the laugh, alternate notes resound,
And the fwcec cider trips in silence round.
The laws of Hulking every wight can tell,
And fare no jaws fe ever keeps so well :
For each red ear a gen'ral kiss he gains,
With each smut ear he fonts the luc|defs swains,
But when to some sweet maid the prize is cast,
Red as her lips, and taper as her waist,
She walks the round and cull^ some favor'd beau,
Who leaps the luscious tribute to bellow.
Various the sports, as are the wks and brains
Os well pleas'd lalfes and contending swains,
'Till rhe vast mound of corn is fwejjaway,
And he that gets the lad ear wins the day.

HUMANITY is an humble sense of our own
impotence and frailty, fuggetted by the misfor
tunes of another : it is a prudent forefight of the
disasters which may happen to ourselves which
induces us to a&l others, that they may be wil
ling to return the favor to us on a similar occa
sion. It is certainly just that we mould have a
superior degree of tenderness for a father, a wife,
a child, or a friend ; but there is a fort of affec
tion we owe to all mankind, —-as being members
of one common family, of whith the deity is the
great Creator and Father !
Pity, compassion, and forgiveness, so far as is
. consistent with the deflates of prudence and felf
preservation, are due even to our bitterest enemies.
We mod in no case shew tlat (everity to another,
which we mould deem unjust if praftifed against
ourselves in a similar situation ; this is a rule
which determines what kind of treatment is for
bidden by nature, in respect to the rest of man
jkind ; and every thing, which if done to our
selves would appear oppressive and cruel, is com
prised in this benevolent and equitable maxim.
The greatest men in all ages and nations, have
been distinguished for the humanity of their tem
per, arid the benevolence of their attfons.

. HENRY the eighth, and Francis the firft of
France, were never long on good terms. On a
certain occasion, Henry was about to fend over
an ambafiador to Francis with a very haughty
and threatening message. As the ecclesiastics. at
that day, were every thing, Henry made choice
o' Bithop Bonnor for ambassador, one of the vil
est fyeophants, villains and murderers that ever
licked up the foittle df despotism. As Henry had
confidence in Bonner, the bi(hop was obsequious
enough, it may be supposed ; but suggested to the
king, that ihe*violent language of the writings
addreflfed to so high spirited a Prince as Francis,
would endanger the life of ma. ambassador. Be
not afraid, raid Henry, for should the French
king put you to death, I have fifty Frenchmen
now in the Tower who (hall answer with their
heads for it. That may befo—pleaJe your maj?J
ty (said the wary bishop) but of all these heads
not one will fit my shoulders so well as my own.
NOT long since, an Irishman was arraigned
sft the bgr of justice for a felony, and being asked
the ufpal question, " how will you be tried r"
through ignorance he remained silent, till told by
one of the counsel to fay, “ by God and my coun
try :"— Paddy replied to his advocate, " by my
fhoul, honey, I woud'n't be tried by God at all at
all, because ,as how he knows all about the mat
ter.",
