'AN old Negro, talking on the fubjett of slavery,
obfe'rved that it was wrong to keep de poor Negar
in fitch continual slavery; A byUianderobferved,
that the feriptures did not oppose this practice.—
Aye, aye," fays Cato, “ hie know, and me know
crate he Scripture against flabery, for I have read
all de Books frqm St. Mattew to Salt Petre, and
dey exclaim againH dis cursed flabery.”
SKILL'D in each art that can adorn the fair,
The sprightly dance, the foft Italian air,
The toss of quality and high-bred fleer,
Now lady Harriot reach'd her fifteenth year:
Wing'd with diveriions all her moments flew,
Each, as it pafs'd presenting fomeAring new ;
Bre^kfafts and auftions wear the morn away,
Each ev'nmg gives an opera, or a play;
Then Brag's eternal joys all night remain,
And kindly nfh T in ihe thorn again.
For lore no time has (he, or inclination,
Yet mull coquet it for the fake of fafhion ;
Tor this ihe liHeus to each fop that's near, )
Th' embroider'd colonel flatters witha sneer, [
And tae cropt ensign nuzzles in her ear. )
But with most warmth her dress and airs inspire
. Th' ambitions befoul of thelauded Squire,
Who fain would quit plump Dolly's fofter charms,
For wither'd, lean, Right honorable arms ;
He bows with reverence at her sacred shrine.
And treats her as if fprnng from race divine ;
Which file returns with in(olence and scorn,
Nor deigns to smile upon a Plebeian born.
Eelong, by friends, by cards, and lovers crofs'd,
Her fortune, health, and reputation 101 l ;
Her money gone, yet not a tradesman paid,
Her fame, yet die kill damn'd to be a maid,
Her spirits fink, her nerves are so unstrung,
She weeps, if but a handsome thief is hung :*
By mercers, lacemen, mantua-makers preft,
Butonoft for ready cash for play diftreft,
Where can (he turn ?—The 'fquire mult all re-\
pair:(
She conlefeends to liflen to his pray'r, (
And merries him at length in mere despair. )
But soon th' endearments of a husband cloy,
Her foui, her frame incapable of Joy :
She feels no transport in the bridal bed,
Os which so oft' fh'has heard, so much has read ;
Then vex'd, that Ihe should be condemn'd alone
To seek in vain this philosophic Hbne,t
To abler tutors fne resolves i' apply,
A profligate from curiosity.
But Hill malignant fate her wish denies,
Cards yieHl superior joys, to cards Le flies ;
All night from rout to rout her chairmen run,
Again foe plays, and is again undone.
Behold her now, in ruin's frightful jaws !
Bonds, judgments, executions ope their paws :
Seize jewels, furniture, and plate nor (pare
The gilded chariot, or the tatiel'd chair ;
For lonely feat fhe's forc'd to quit the town,
And Tubbs\ conveys the wretched exile down.
Now rumbling o'er the Hones of Tyburn road,
Ne'er preft with a more griev'd or guilty load,
She bid, adieu to all the well known streets,
And envies every cinder-wench she meets :
And now the dreaded country firft appears,
With sighs unfeign'd, the dying noise she hears
Os diftaut coaches fainter by degrees,
Then Hurts, and trembles at the fight of trees.
Silent and fallen, like some captive que^n,
She's drawn along unwilling to be seen, .
Until at length appears the ruin'd Hall
Within the grass green moat and ivy'd wall,
The doleful prifoo where for ever foe 4
(But not, alas ! her griefs) muff buried be.
Her coach the curate and the tradesmen meet, )
Great-coated tenants her arrival greet,>
And boys with Hubble bonfires light the street, ,
While bells her ears with tongues difeordant grate,
Types of the nuptial tyes they celebrate :
But no rejoicings can unbend her trow,
Nor deigns Ihe to return one awkward bow,
But bounces in disdaining once to speak,
And wipes the trickling tear from off her cheek.
Now fee her in the fad decline of life,
A peevish mistress, and a sulky wife ;
Her nerves unbrac'd, her faded cheek grown pale
With many a real, many a fancy'd ail !
Os cards, admirers, equipage bereft,
Her insolence and title only left ;
Severely humbled to her one-borfe chair,
And the low pastimes of a country fair:
Too wretched to endure one lonely day, )
Too proud one friendly visit to repay,!
Too indolent to read, too criminal to pray, ,
At length half dead, half mad, and quite confin'd,
Shunning, and fhun'd by all of human kind,
Ev'o robb'd of the lafi comfort of her life,
Insulting the poor curate's callous wife,'
Pride, difappoimed pride, now flops her breath,
And with true scorpion rage she Hings herfelf to
death.
* Some of the brightest eyes were at this time in
tears for one Maclean, condemned for a Jobbery
on the highway.

Not long since two blackmen fell into a dispute
about their religions principles. ,One inlifted up
on it,.that if a man once became a good man, he
never would fall away and become a wicked man
again ; “ it it should so happen, fays he, it prove
he rd >her was good man." The other replied :
—"Yo 1 know Mr. N. T. he had great tate, ne
gro/nd ebery ting, and was wott ten or fifteen
toufand pound —out now he poor beggar, cause
he got no tate now ' —Tink dis probebd be -neb

A fellow, who was travelling in the new Settle
ments of the Weftern Country, in the State of
Newyafk, was overtaken by a Methodist Prga
chef. This Mr. Lougfnce attempted to exhort our
Plebeian, and began by diking him “ What date
his foul was in ?'* " In the State of Newyork,”
retorts he. " Left ! lott ! then ?rt wholly left !"
groaned the Divine. “ Loft !" exclaimed the tra
veller with some degree of indignation, " 1 knew
this country before there was a road in it."
