The evening of age to a virtuous man, is calm and
unclouded ; he finks into the grave like a setting
fun, adorned with tempered luftre, directing his
course to a goal, from whence he may rife again
with renovated splendor.
A gentleman amusing himfelf in the gallery of
Pallais, somewhat like what our exchanges for
merly were, observed, while he was carelessly
looking over some pamphlets at a booksellers,
that a suspicious fellow flood rather near him.
The gentleman was dressed according to the fath-#
ion of these times, in a coat with a prodigious
number of tags and tassels ; on which the thief
(for filch he was) began to have a design ; and the
gentleman not willing to disappoint him turned
bis head another way, on purpose to give him an
opportunity ; the Href immediately set to work,
and in a trice twitted off seven or eight of the
filter tags : the gentleman immediately perceived
it, and fLIy drawing out of his pocket a penknife,
which cut like a razor,catched the fellow by ge
ear, and cut it off to his head, Murder ! Murder 1
tried the thief : Robbery ! Robbery .' cries the gen
tleman—There are your tags and buttons .' fays
the thief, throwing them to him—Very well fays
the gentleman, throwing it back in the fame man
ner, there is your ear.
The youthful mind, like the blossoms of an
early spring, requires a mild and foliering hand to
wake it to perfection ; the smallest bud that fluids
a shelter from boisterous elements,expands its fflk
go leaves replete with odours; while the flrong
oak, that spreads its brgad arms to the cutting
blah, -waits the glowing feafonin naked poverty.

By Peter Pindar.
A MEM BEK of the JEtculopian line,
Liv'd at Newcastle, upon Tyne ;
Mis fame full fix miles round the country ran !
Next morning early Bolus rose,
And to the patient's house he goes:
The servant let him in with difinal face-
Long as a courtier's out of place—
Portending some difatler: —
John's countenance as rueful look'd and grim,
As if the Apothcary had phyfic'd him,
And not his mafter#
< Shook him ! how r' Bolus Hammer'd out ;
' We jolted him about.'
6 Strange ! fliakea patient, man—a drake wen tdo ;
< No, Sir,—and to we gave him two.'
< Well, how's the patient ?' Bolus said:
John shook his head.
< Indeed : hum! ha !—'hat's very odd ;
<He took the draught i 7— John gave a nod.
' Well, now, what then ? speak out you dunce.'
< Why then,' fays John ' wc/hook him once.'.
Bolus lov'd verse—and took so much delight in't,
That his p-eCriptions he refold'd to write in't.
Apothecary's verse, and where's the treaton ?
'I is limpl honefl trading—not a crime .
When p font's swallow physic without reason,
It is out fair to give a little rhyme.
In short in reputation he was jolus :
All the old women call'd him ' a line man !'
His name was Bolus.
He bad a patient lying at death's door,
Some three miles from the town — t ought be four ;
To whom one evening Bolus sent an article,
In Pharmacy that's call'd catharticle-.
And on the label of the Hutt
He wrote this verse —
Which one would think was clear enough^
And terse :—,
<When taken,
' To be well Jhaken.'
