A lady, who affected hard words, asked her son
" who had placed the ladder aginji the garden

Jet fife fruit'" —" O, said (lie, I was afeard fys\

THE GHuST. x
A late very pious, but very credulous Bishop,
was relating a grange ftpry of a demon which
haunted ,a young woman in Lbibbury, (London)
to a company of gentlemen, when one of them
told his lordship the following tale : As 1 was one
night reeling in my bed, as my cudotn is, and all
tipamily at rest, I heard a foot deliberately at
tending the Hairs, and as it dame nearer, I heard
something breathe. While I was musing what it
should be, three hollow knocks at my door made
me ask who was there ?—and inflantiy the door
flew open. Ay; Sir, and pray what did you fee?
My Lord, I'll tell you.—A fall thing flood before
me, with whitbered hair and an earthly afpeft;
it was coveted with a long sooty garment, which
descended to its ancles, and its waist was elafped
dose with a broad leathern girdle ;—in one hand
It held a black Raff, taller than Itfelf, and in the
other a round body of pale light, which Clone
-feebly ever, way,. That's remarkable ! Pray., Sir,
go qu. If beckoned co me, and I followed it
downstairs, and there it left me, and made hide'
oos neife in the ttretet. This ds remarkably odd
and furpricing—but pray did it not give you no
tice what it might particularly seek or aim at ?
Yes, mv Lord, it was the watchman who came
tn few me that my servant had left all my doors
open. .
IT is impossible to love God without desiring to
please hint, and as far as we are' able to referable
him—therefore, the Love of God rufuft lead to ev
cry virtue in the highest degree ; and we mayte
fare we do not truly love him if we content our-
Selves with avoiding flagrant fines, and do not
drive in good earned to reach the greater degree
of protection we are capable of by his help.
We may hate men's vices without any ill will to
their persons, but „e cannot help defpifrng those
who have no kind of virtue to recommend them.
"Love vrorkethno ill to his neighbor,"—tiiere
fure if we have true benevolence, We Will never
do any thing injurious to individuals, or to foci
cty.-:
All men of estates are in effect hut trnflees for
the benefit of the diftreffed,and will be so reckon
ed when they are to gi/e an account —tho' this
may not be believed by those who hold the Purse.

MADELINE OF ABERDEEN.
SO fair a maid was never seen.
As Madeline,
Os Aberdeen 1
When foe tripp'd lightly o'er the green,
Her face was rosy gay her mien,
And happy had I ever been—
Had I ne'er known young Madeline !
So mild a maid wasngver seen.
As Madeline, s.
Os Aberdeen,
She danc'd upon tht flow'ry green,
And like a Sylph of foortive mien,
Yet Dian had not worfhipp'd been
A Godddefs—near chalte Madeline!
So „mamaid was never seen,
As Madeline,,
'Of Aberdeen!
With ribbands blue and bonnet green,
With model! eye and timid mien,
Another Venus she had been,
Had Paris view'd young Madeline !
So blithe a maid was never seen,
™ As Madeline,
Os Aberdeen !
For while upon.the mountain green,
She wander'd with a playful mien,
The Loves and Graces oft have been
Enraptur'd by gay Madeline !
So rich a maid was never seen,
As Madeline, ' . , 1
Os Aberdeen !
For fapphrejblue, nor em'rald green, . 1
Could deck her form or stately mien,
And Juno, had foe mortal been,
Had envied graceful Madeline I
So wfe a maid was never seen,
As Madeline,
Os Aberdeen !
The deathless wreath, of laurel green,
Might well become her awful mien ;
And like Minerva (lie had been—
Had earth ne'er known fair Madeline !
Ye lads and lattes, who have seen
Sweet Madeline,
Os Aberdeen!
0 ! bind your brows with willows green,
And let dark sorrow mark each mien—
For fix long months the grave has been N
The silent bed—of Madeline !
ANE^WAY
To prevent Catching Cold.
As honest Pat, toward Dublin city,
Was travelling on one day.
" O Gramachree," or tome such ditty.
Singing along the way ;
The iky grew black—the clouds grew big—
, In torrents fell the rain.?
Pat stops—pulls off his hat and wig,
And then goes on again.
"Dear (hoy," fays Dermot, " why my lad,
<<What for a trick is that ?
« Why, Pat ! the folks will think you mad !
„ Put on your wig and hat."
« Peace ! peace !" fays Patrick, in a pet,
“ Such fluff I'll not be told!
“ For, (hook! my wig and hat get wet,
" D'ye fee, I might catch did !"
