Frederic of Pruflia being one dly infofmeti that
a corporal in his guards, a handfon^fyoung fel
low, and at th,) fame time, very ,brave, wore
through vanity a watch chain to uhicli he aft
fixed a leaden bullet ; in order to knp^w, the truth :
of this circumstance, he sent forlsmu inter some;
pretence or other. “ Corporal," said he, “ you
muff be brave and economical bb(h to f^ve so!
much of your pay as GO pnrch,fe a, watch." ~I
flatter myfettdatn brave,!* replied the corporal,;
<< but my watch is worth very littly." Frederic, ;
pulling out his watch, which was.of gol'd,fet'
with diamonds, said “ My watch points to five,l
what o'clock is it by yours ?",Tbg corporal,,with
a trembling tend, dealing out the leaden bul-I
let from his fo6, return'd, "Mine, Sire, points;
neither to five o'clock nor to fix o'clock, but it;
tells me very plainly what kinQof death I must
die far, your majehy," The king, was so «eIT
pleased 'with this answer, that he g@ve',ihe corpo

THE Federalists are grptyn so weak,
1 hey nothing more'can do;
Exhausted in their flock of li< s,
What new ones can they brew ?
Like JEsop's gree'dy hound they've fnarl'd,
And no one lit aiond, Sir,
Bin fiidichir, at the People's Rights.
Tiby loft their favorite bone, fir.
Ilinered t'o their mock paraded.
And thought it mighty clever:
And Demo, Jacobin, and Knave,
Ran in my head forever..
For Power and Office over keen,
The whole dihit they've inarr'd Sir ;
1 drove to keep them cbmpany,
Buefaitk Urey rode too hard, fir.
I thought myfelf some inches higher
Titan any of that party ; „
But Iv'e found out my F>a| size,
And do repent mod hearty.
And now t'attone for n^y mistake,
Rd do what e'er I can, fir;
The demo ticked I'll fepport,
And vote them to a man, fir.
Our Paridi Pried, withas much zeal
For Politics as Prav'r, ;
Declar'd if Jefferson came in, *
'Twould breed a civil war.
I lifteu'd to the Solemn Tale,
And thought it was no lie, fir ;
But now I find that Priests can err
As well as you or I fir,
I'd rather in my Bible trull,
Than facredotal Fiction;
I'll drive to keep, the itrongeft fide,
And spurn Ki&ir.interdiaiuff. "'
Their council ruin'd me as near (
As four pence to a grp#t, Sir;
Henceforth I'll make the multi can
Os wisdom dearly bought fir.
Detraction ,fiWhdod, and Finesse,
Are all worn out wi[h using;
We may as well give up the game
And frankly pay our Ibfifc ' ,
