IT was observed in company, that a certain co
vetous, rich man never invited any one to dine
with him. " I will lay a wager, faysa wag, " I
get an invitation from him." The wager being
accepted, he goes the next day to this rich man's
house, abou,the time he was known to fit down
to dinner, and tells the servant that he must speak
with his matter immediately, for he could save
him a thousand pounds, “ Sir, fays the servant
to his matter, " here is a man in a great hurry to
speak to you, who fays he can save you a thousand
pounds." Out came the matter, " What is that
you fay, fir, that you can save me a thousand
pounds !"— cc Yes, fir, I can; but I fee you are at
dinner : I will go myfelf and dine and call again."
" 0, pray, fir, come in and take dinner with me,"
" Sir, I (hall be troublesome." " Not at all." —
The invitation was accepted. As soon as dinner
was 'over, and the family were retired, “ Well
fir," fays the man' of the house, " now to our bu
siness. Pray let me know how lam to save this
thousand pounds." “ Why, fir," fays the other,
“ I hear you have a daughter to dispose ofin mar
riage." " I have." “ And that you intend to
portion her with ten thousand pounds." “ 1 de
so." “ Whv, then, fir, let me have her, and I will
take herewith nine thoufand.' The matter of the
house instantly rose in a passion, and turned him
out ot doors.
An American gentleman, some yeafs ago, was
Shewing an Irishman the figure of a (hip, very el
egantly painted upon a wall, at Harlem ; when
the Hibernian, after viewing it with evident marks
of delight, exclaimed, “ By St. Patrick ! it is
mighty beautiful ; lam Cure it was ne,er done in
this country." " How can that be, said the A
merican, when you 'fee it is portrayed upon the
vall," " Arralt ! and so it is," replied the other,
much embarrassed st his own want of observation,

An Irishman confeffed he had stolen some choco

a SONG.
From the French of Madame La Marqu/e D'Autre
ment. \
OH fay my fond heart, have I cheriffi'd a dream ;
Is sincerity only a cheat ?
Ah ! leave me, ah ! leave me, a bliss so supreme,
l,will not be mown to deceit.
Is love a deception, is friendfhip untrue ?
Bright vision continue to dune ;
This ignorance las my happiness prize,
Nor will I the error fefign.
But what have I said ? Let us break the fond chain
That can cost us a sigh or a tear ;
The exquisite pleasure (till borders on pain,
The bliss causes anguish severe.
But why should I tear from my mind the dark veil ?
To my heart it is pleasure extreme^
Give up my dear Laura, 'tis folly to rail— -
/To be happy, we ahi ays mull dream.

This work is deigned to difleminate Truth a
mong the deceived and uninformed part of your
fellow-citizens ; to wipe off the mills of delation
from the eyes ot those who are led astray by the
foes of the Rights of Man, and lay open to view
the designs, arts and intrigues of such Charafters,
and to amuse and edify those who have entitled
under the banners of Republicanism, as defenders
of the liberties of their country, againit arbitrary
and mijuft persecution. Having already received
very liberal encouragement, the Proprietors flat
ter themselves that the undertaking will prove
fuccefsful, if patronized by you. whose hands have
been often outfiretched to support tbe lounciaiivn

powerful arittocracy, who have endeavored b,
mifreprt fe station, unconstitutional and improper
a.vs, large bodies of mercenary troops, &r. &c.

and render, the Conttitution useless, in order that
one more consistent with their wishes, might be
reared up on its ruins. The characters and con
dust of all ranks and degrees of Citizens, will e
ver 6e refpe&ed, and nothing shall be admitted in
the pages of the Patriot, which may introduce
either to public view, unless their pursuits evince a
disposition to sap the platform of Republicanism,
when, every measure will be taken to warn its
friends 'of the approaching danger, and all re,;
liraint dispensed with, in order that the foes of
Columbia, may feel the lalh of a vigilant and faith,
Jul Sentinel. Advertisements will be excluded
