But, ah ! now that I work by their presence un-
" To frame a liar, tell a bigger lie."
In obfervahce of this philosophic advice, the
following story was told With a grave face : .
“One Peter Wilkins, a biscuit-maker by trade,.,
undertook to jump off the Monument. He was
to mriotrt on the fails, St. Paul's clock to (trike
twelve, andlie was to jump off at the lad Broke;
Everv precaution was, of course, taken to keep ,
the poor devil from breaking his neck ; feather
beds, loads of draw and wool packs piled one
Tripoli the other; to aPimmenfe height. The day
cdmß the Greets Teemed to be paved with faces
the hotifes roofed with people. The nfual ac
cidents happened—broken limbs, dislocations,
fractures and contusions; women With children in
their acmes were thrown deffin and trod upon,
&c. &'c. &c. The moment arrived ; the clock
Bruck. Honest Peter, true, to his engagement,
mounted-otethe balirilrades. At the Jail Broke,
off he went." —“ Well, and what was the conse
quence ? Ecod, Sir, when he was hals way down,
his tart'Tailed bim-tod he jumped back again'!"
A famous 'artift once made a painting, in whjbh
all the different nations of the earth were reprin
ted, in the peculiar drefsof Qeir country^mlead,
however, of clothing the .Frenchman, he drew
> hi in in bis&irt, with a -bu,dlhof cloth, qpdpr! %
arm. Being alked the reason of 4hjs Angularity,
he replied: The French' dftfs tbemfeW&iii f&
many different ways, and change thejr' fashions
so often, that,whaiever drefelfhould'hafy put
on h|& frra short time be wotild not be known!
Having the (luff, he indy cut It out to his liking."

A general profpeft of human life presents a scene
of turbulence, of which the troubled ocean is an
emblem. But there is a sweet, a peaceable, a
tranquil Gate of felf-poffeffions whether external
circumstances are prosperous or adverse, which
conflitutes the mofl fplid happiness of which hu
man nature is capable. This enjoyment, arising
from moderate desires—a regulated imagination
—lively hopes, and full Confidence in the Deity,
is that chief good, which philosophers have vain
ly fought in the schools, by the strongest efforts of
unafliiled reafoh.
Then, alas! when at night I return to my home,
No longer Itioaft that my comforts are many ;
To a silent, deserted, dark dwelling I come, -
Where no one exclaims, "Thon art welcome,
my Fanny !''
That, that is the pang! Want and toil would im
part ''
No pang to my breast, ifkind friends I could
fee;
For the wealth I require is that of the heart,
The smiles of affeftion areriches to me.
Then, in pity, ye rich, when to you I apply
To purchase my goods though you do not buy
any,
With the accents of kindness O deign to deny ;
You'll comfort the heart of poor fatherlefs Fan
ny.
cheer'd,
I feel 'tis a hardship indeed,to be poor ;
While 1 (brink from fatigue, now no longer en
,d^r'd, ..
And sigh as 1 knock at the wealthy man's door.

. FATHERLESS FANNY.
By Mr^OPTR.
Keen and cold is the blatl!oi dly uhiftling around,
As cold as the lips that onde fmil'd upon me ;
Ami unyielding, airs! as this hard frozen ground,
The arms once so ready my ffielter to be.
Both m, patents are dead, and few friends I can
boait„
But few to coirfoie and to love me, if any ;
And my gams are so final!, a bare bittance almost
Repays the exertions of fatherlefs Fanny.
Once, indeed, I wiib pleasure and patience could
toil,
But 'twas when my parens fat by and appro
v'd,
Then my laces to fell 1 went out with a smile,
Because my fatigue fed the parents I lov'd.
And at night, when I brought them my hardly
earn'd gains,
Though final! they might be, still my comforts
were m^py ;,
For my mothers fund blessing rewarded my
pains,, _
My father Rood watching to welcome his Fan

The peculiar advantage of which is not only to
prevent frilling the oil, but by being made
air-tight the oil is defended from the pref
fare of the atmosphere, which causes it
to rife much lighter and further to

prevents it from coagulating.
