BILLY'S UNDONE BY THE WAR.
Text —'' Oh 7 dear -what can the matter be,
BE r#fy with war ! here's a fine piece of bother on't.
Faith I can't mate either one thing or t'other on't.
Devil may burn both the father and mother on't.
Billy's undone by the war#
O ! dear what will the damage be?
O 1 what will the damage be ?
Dear what will the damage be ?
Billy's undone by the war.
Pat can you tell what the devil he's driving at ?
What iai we're fighting for, what Is't he's driving at?
A foul bit of work she damn'd Tory's conniving at !
Billy's undone by the war.
O 1 dear, what will the damage be, &c.
for the poor, out of tread, what a fine confutation too,
Winter at hand, and all trade in stagnation too,
Nothin' to fwaliow, but lumps of taxation too !
Billy's undone by the war.
0 1 dear, what will the damage be, &c.
Then what are our gains, for the millions he squanders bow I
Plentiful lots of brave troops and commanders now,
Rutting like theep in the big bogs of Flanders now 1
Billy's undone by the war.
OI dear, what will the damage be, &c.
Tents we have few, since we left them behind us too,
Dogs wou'dn't lie on the wet ftiaw they find us too,
All forts of death, by my foul, they've confign'd us to.
Billy's undone by the war.
O ! dear, what will the damage be, &c.
fay my troth there's damnable fin and omission here,
Tho' its huth'd up, it must rife in revision here ;
Murder cries out for a state of inquisition here.
Billy's undone by the war.&
0 ! dear, what will the damage be, &c.
Then your cabinet calls this ' a war of exiftence' now.
That's in plain Iriih to die at a'distance now,
And help the work forward by backward afflitance now,
Billy's undone by the war.
O ! dear, what will the damage be, &c.
A wife figure we make, to be Starv'd to help Slavery,
Righting for Others with profitless bravery,
Oh, get out I you'll undo a good nation with knavery.
Billy's undone by the war,
O ! dear, what will the damage be ?
O I what will the damage he ?
Dear, what wilfthe damage be?
Billyh undone by the war.

LINES,
Occasioned by hearing the account of Suwarrow's
death contradicted.
GRIEF to the world — O Fame, thy lying founds
Have brought deceitful tidings to our ears,
Suwarrow lives t' inflict more dreadful wounds,
And cause more orphans cries and Widows tears#
Could Death avert stern nature's dire decree,
And Spare one mortal of the human race,
That man, Suwarrow I would be fuiely thee,
As best deferring of the partial grace.
Death and Suwarrow in dread league combin'd
Have ferv'd each other with an ardent zeal ;
While Death by famine, has on hundreds din'd,
Suwarrow sent him thousands at a meal.
Rut 10 ! the period of his mad'ning rage,
Draws fwiftly nigh—no more a weeping land
In war unequal with his hordes engage,
Not ilk in vain companion at his hand.
fy murd'ring faulchio, drench'd with human grfe.
Who dealt deftrudion from his blood Stain'd arm,
And hurl'd dread vengeance, it Shall wield no more,
Nor fill the foul with terror's wild alarm.
Lo, the bright dawn of Gospel grace draw, nigh.
Bursting the darkest cloud of human woe,
farth's weeping tons Shall cease the heaving ftgh,
When Man no longer is to Man a foe.
Then sword and spears (hall be to plough Shares turn'd
And savage natures change their fell designs;
Me more Shall Virtue by mankind be fyurn'd,
Nor proud Ambition fill a world with crimes.

AN ESSAY—'' CLEARLY."
.Whenever I fee an old maid turn up her nose at
the word ?narriage, and hear her assert " a Jingle
Condition,he mojt felicitous ," I can hardly retrain
from calling her a hypocritical; crabbed, dry
grained hag— Clearly !, _
'Whenever 1 hear a young lady maintaining,
“[•want no jweet heart — Not I!" Alasl whis
pers I, how is this world given to l^ng !_Ten

A person who kepta parrot, used frequently to
put his finger into the cage to him—the Parrot bit
;him,and the man said, "damn it, how youpinch!",
The parrot being out of his cage, g hawk took
him up, ami flew off with him, while the parrot
kept crying, " damn it, how you pinch I"
In the debate on the leather tax, in the
Irish house of commons, the chancellor of
the exchequer, (Sir John Parnell) observed
with great emphasis, “ That in the profc
cution of the present war, every man ought
to give his left guinea to protest the remain
der." Mr? Vandchire said that however
that might be, the tax on leather would be
feverel, felt by the barefooted peasantry of Ire
land. To which Sir Boyle Roach replied,
that this could be easily remedied, by mak
ing the under leathers of Wood.
We are al To informed of another bloody
duel, which was fought by two Officers of
the Standing Army, where one of the gen
tlemen had his Drum-flick broke in a most
(hocking manner, and his antagonist had his
Fife split in several pieces.
In England there is an unrepealed law, inflict
ing a punishment or fine on persons absenting
themselves from their parish Churches for more
than a limited time. A man in a village in Sorry
being a defaulter, the Parson threatened the pnn
ifhment, unless he came to church ; in consequence
of which the man went regularly several Sundays
afterwards, during the sermon ; apd, advancing
up the middle alley, pulled off his hat, faying—
1' Your humble fervahf, Mr. Parson—your molt
obedient, Sir : You fee 1 am edme to church, Sir.
Good bye t'ye, Sir ; I'll come again next Sunday."
He paid his addreflfes in this manner till the par
son was tired of his visits, and recalled his threats.
A woman at Rheims having had nine hus
bands, and bred up 26 children, died there
lately, at the age of 102 ; she was attended
to the grave by 153 sons, grandsons, and
great grandsons, mafty of the former going
upon crutches, or led along blind, and borne
down with old ag^ : She had, herfelf, 8
brothers and 13 fillers, all of whom made
good use of their time ; that the old woman
was aunt and great aunt to upwards of a
thousands people.

We hear from Oxford that two Lieuten
ants in the army Rationed there, lately had
a meeting to fettle an affair of honor ; and
we are concerned to state that one of the
bloody combatants received a dangerous wound
in the TOE.
The rock and whirlpool of Sylla and
Charybdis are often elegantly alluded to by
the Orators, when exhorting their auditors
to avoid two dangerous extremes. A judge
in a neighboring state, in a charge to a ju
ry, recommending and urging the necessity
of an impartial decision on a question of
some importance ; and, with more warmth
and feeling, than propriety and correanefs
of pronunciation, di e&ing their attention
to the “ middle extreme," advised them, in
eluding the breakers of Sylla, not to be turn
ed aside by the whirlpool of Charybogus.
