' I HIE following extraor-
J dinary fad, was related
by a gentleman in the country,
(Maryland) who js curious in
keeping his fowls. One of his
hens though in the midst of
furrimer had for federal weeks
flopped yielding her usual
produce, and yet daily made
her usual cackling —he search.
ed her nest but could not find
even a shell of an egg,which
made him resolve to watch
her closely. He accordingly
the next day situated himfelf
in such a manner as to ob
serve her ; when to his great
lurprife, he saw her lay an
egg —b ut n ° footer was file
off her nest, when three
rats made their appearance.
One of them immediately
laid himfelf on his back,whilft
the other rolled the egg upon
his belly, which he clasped
between his leggs and held
very firm ; the other two then
laid hold of his tail, and gent
ly dragged him out of fight,
this wonderfill sagacity was
exhibited for several days to
iome curious observers.
^LL persons indebted to, or
that have any demands
against the efiate of WILLIAM
SHUTE, late of Newmarkett,
deceased, Iriteflate, are desired to
exhibit the fame to William
Shute, Administrator to /aid
cflate, in order for a Speedy set
tlement.

To-morrow fcorn'd and not one of them
Gafhful and pale before to-morrow night;
True as the scripture fays, "man's life’s
a span,
"The present moment is the life of Man."
To-morrow stinks in every body's nose ;
To-day he's grand, mageflic, all delight,
crumbs,
To-morrow he's himfelf a dish for worms;
To-day he's honor'd and in vast eßecm,
small,
To-morrow no commands,no house at all;
To-day has forty servants at his gate,
To-morrow not a beggar values him ;
To-day he rises from a velvet bed,
To-morrow lies in one that's made of
lead ;
To-day his house tho' large, he thinks but
To-Day and To-Morrow.
TO-DAY man's drefs'd in gold and
silver bright,
Wrapt in a shroud before tomorrow night;
To-day he's feeding on delicious food,
To-morrow dead, unable to do good ;
To-day he's nice and scorns to feed co
will wait ;
To-day perfdm'd as fwcet as any rose,
