ON A RETIRED LIFE.
FR EH from the cares which every foul perplex.
No doubts to rack me, no cares to vex ;
To fame a stranger, and from wealth, emote,
A foe tv plealore, and a friend to thought.
Far from the vain unthink ng heediefs throng,
Through lite's still vale 1 fdent tteai along,
Where fits enthron'd in awinl date fuhlime,
The God of Nature and the God of lime.
There rapt to future times, I thoughtful trace,
A fov' reign's mercy, ana a floor's grace ;
Till thankful praise attune it glowing bie^ft,
And jaohme speaks where language is fupjxelt.
EPIGRAM.
W1 I H folded arn,s and uplift eyes —
" Have mercy heaven" —the parson cries,
“ Upon our thirty fun burnt plains,
" Iby blellings fend in genial-rains."
The sermon ernied and the prayers,
ST Cufluc for his home prepares ;
Witen with his visage died in liniles,
" it rains, thank heaven!" cries farmer Giles ;
“ Rains ?" quoth the parson, '' sure yoojoke,
" Kains ?-heaven forbid —[have no cloak

The floating on the Serpentine River on funday,
recalled to memory a beautiful moral passage in
Dryden :—
He that firf'fins, like him that treads on Ice,
Aides cautious down the flipper, paths office;
jfrfides on cautious, but thofefears got o'er,
Heflies onfwiftly, and looks back no more.

Cemoc of Camus,
From London Papers.
The late Dr. Long, of Newcastle, was a qry
acentric character, and among other peculiarities,
was remark ably fond of what is called a good joke.
Vesnin .he left three years of his life, the D^tor
had occ^ion for a new wig: the periwig maker was
accordingly feat for, who immediately set about
the measurement of that part that was to be fitted
namely the head. “Good Mr. Tonsure, laid the
Doctor, I would have you add a few inches to
yo.tr gauge, and to go over tire premises with
care.for I've a long head." "Aye, Doctor," re
plied the Barber, and aTniCK one too." The Du
dor was so charmed with the repartee, that he
put bis hand in his pocket and gave the Barber
half a crown.
When printing was firft introduced into England
Rowland Philips, Vicar of Croydon, preached a
sermon at St,Paul's in which he predicted that the
oew difeorcry would prepare tte downfall of the
Roman Catholic religion. He used the following
remarkable expreffion—“We mud root out print
fog, or priming will out root us.
A Jew of the name of Solomon,wlw fells Clothes
atfacond hand in Antwerp, has placed the foil .
wing Inscription over his doer, taken from his
namesake—• There is nothing ne * under the fun."
AS Henry IV^foigtied with a long voyage, was
palling by Amiens, he met one who came to make
ai hirrangue. The orator begun ,vEh the titles
of Most grand, mos lgood, most lerene, molt
magnanimous ; “ Add also," said the king,
"and mofl weary."
.Advertisement, copied from the Monaghan
paper, Ireland :—Whereas John Hall fraudulently
took away fever?l articles ofmy wearing appar
rel, witixut my knowledge, this is, therefore, to
inform him, that if he do A s not forthwith return
the latite, his name flioll be made public.
