.THE BEGGAR GIRL.
A poor friendlefs wand'rer the wide world before,
ipe, [roam,?
When the harsh din of war forc'd a parent ^
With no friend, but kind heav'n, to protest and
watch o'er me,
T, a child of affiftion, was robb'd ofa home :
And thus, with a figb, 1 accotted each diranger—
O look with compassion on poor orphan Bess ; t
Your mire may relieve her from each threatening'
danger,'
fond the tear of foft pity can sooth her distress.
To the rich, by whom virtue's too often neglected,
I tell the fad story, and crave their relief;
But wealth seldom feels for a wretch unprotected,
'Tis poverty only partakes of her grief.
Ah ! little they think that the thousands they
squander
On the playthings of folly and fripp'ries of dress
Would relieve the keen wants of the wretched
who wander,
While the foft tear of pity would sooth their
dittrefi. #
Tho' bereft of each comfort, poor Bess will not
languish,
Since short is life's journey, 'tis vain to lament.
And he who still marks the deep sigh of keen an
guish
.Hath plac'd in this bofom' the jewel content. *
. Then, ye Wealthy to-day, think, all! think ereto
morrow
The frowns of misfortune upon you may press,
And turn not away from a poor orphan's forrow,|
When the tear of foft pity can sooth her diftrefs.j
THE BALLAD QF BEDLAM.
I'LL fail upon the Dogftar;
And then pursue the morning,
I'll chafe the moon 'till it be noon,
I'll make her leave her burning.
I'll climb the frofty mountain,
And there I'll coin the weather ;
I'll wrench the rainbow from the flties.
And tie both ends together !
The Rars pluck from their orbs too, *
And croud, them in my budget ;
Now, if I'm not a roaring boy,
Let Crefham college judge it.
I'll mount the clear Cerulean -
To thunthe tempting gipfies ;
I'll play at bowls with the fun and moon,
And fright ye with eclipses.

WHAT IS-HUMILITY?
IT is a fair and fragrant flower ; in its appear
ance modest—in its situation low and hidden.—
It does not flaunt its beauties to every vulgar eye,
or throw its odours upon every passing gale.—
Tis unknown to the earthly botanist—it discov
ers itfelf only to the spiritual searcher ; neither
among those gay and gaudy tribes of flowers,
with which the generality are so easily captivat
ed ; but in some obscure and unfrequented foot,
where the human feet are rarely seen. But wher
ever he finds it, he is sure to behold its bosom o
pened to the Sun of Kighteoufnefs, receiving new
sweets in perpetual succession, from his exhauftlefs
-„ source.,
A SWEPT FACT.
Thefollowing dulcified cajualty happened 4 few
weeks face at Mr. 's fore in Norwich.
A merry bUxomJoan ,not materially unlike (either
with refpeft to shape corpulency or ponderosity):
the renowned Dr. Slop, was in a store, and after
purchasing about two yards of velvet rifll 1 for a
girdle, which was the trod quantity foe wanted,
the being very slender in the waist, not more than
, two feet diameter, and of consequence, according
to mathematical calculation, not more than fix
feet in circumference ; I fay, after purchasing her
girdle, &e politely curtefying to the merchant, left
the shop, Spending to remount again her fteed—
looking around, for fame time, she difeovered there
was no horse-block, but calling her eye on a tierce
that flood upon the head at a small distance from
the shop door, and willing by her agility to ren
der conspicuous the gracefolpefi of her person,
and irr order to mount her jade 4gith more ease,
she springs with nimble feet upon the head of the
tierce, but perfectly accordant to Newtonian at
traction, as arity ever tends to the centre, the
head gushing in, ioftantly drops the graceful Miss
Bridget np to her arm-pits in the calk of molasses
- But affidance being given, the was quickly
removed from the sweet position she was in,
placed on her horse, and rode og full speed, with
dulcerated flreams of treackle dripping from her
sides.
The father since went tot he merchant,and priq
for at lead fifteen or twenty gallonsof molasses,
which obsequious to the forcible command of fleth
and blood, rushed out and made room when the
calk became pregnant with his lovely daughter.
In “ Ramah Droog, or Wine does Wonders"
3 comic opera from the pen of the lively Cobb,
we fi j the following tolerable specimen of dra
matic wit. ".Chellingoe, a retainer at an Bast
India Court, asks Liffey an honefl Hibernians if
he ever heard the title of the Rajah. The Irifli
faan replies in the negative. Chellmgo then in
forms him, that" He is the Mighty Monarch the
Mahah Rajah, Surooj Seiug ; that is the son of
the lion, brother to the Sffi'and Maori, and cayfin
to ,U the Stars in the Firmament." On which
- liffey exclaims, " what blessed weather you must
have in this couhnry „if he and biq relations are
on good terms together—l suppose a foggy day,or
3 dark night, is a fore sign of a quarrel in the
family !'
A late Trish journal contains tte following bull.
« The man who was killed at the military review
in Carmarthen is not dead, as was supposed. The
ifoyfician thinks there is hope of his recovery.?
