PRID E.
By Pbte ß Pindar. Efa.
Be deaf, 0 man to the insinuations of pride It
is tie pofonous weed of the heart, that foffers
not a flower of beauty or fragrance to bloom
near it.
Beef not ofthe antiquity of th, line ;for to th,
mortification, belt known, that the Family
so the hogs was created before thee-,
WHAT can the wileft boast ? alas, how
little !
Then Pride, be, fy^ing of <hy fancy spittle ;
Nay do no* fanirt it in the humblest face :
The wheel of Fortune it f r ever turning ;
Joy's birthday fait may soon be chang'd to
mourning ;
Nirn ds become he victims of the chace.
Yq, Pride. I httethee—canker of our nature!
Wm look con emptucus on a fellow creature,
Becaufrit a monkey or a pig ?
They too have qualities, or I'm miflaken :
What man excels a hog in making bacon ?
What mortals like a monkey dance a jig ?
What man from bough to bough, like Jacko
\ springs,
Ingenious rogue ! who twists his tail and
springs!
Dare we defoife, because they cannot preach,
Forsooth, ungifted with the powers of speech ?
This were a joke indeed to make a song :
Ah me I what numbers of the hunun race
MoG fortunately had efcap'd diferace,
Had H'lven forget to give their mouth a
tongue !
In vain I preach—Pride laugh# at all I fay ;
Refoiv'd, the fool, to keep for diflant way.
LONDON OCT. 2.
A CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE
OCCURRED at Brighton
on Munday :—3ir John
Lade, for alrftng wager, under
took to carry Erd Cholmondeley on
bis back,from oppofae the pavilion
twice round the Jieine. Several
ladies attended to be fprHa/ors of
this extraordinary fem of the, dwarf
carrying a giant. When bis lord
fotp declared Fimfc If ready, Sir
John desired bins to strip.
“Strip!" exclaimed the other ,•
_ J Wbyfurelyyon promt/:dto carry
me in r:y cloths !"—•" By no
means," replied the Baronet ;" I
engaged to carry you, but not an
inch of clothes. So therefore, my
lord, make ready, and let us.not
disappoint the ladies. After much
laughable altercation, it was at
length decided that Sir John bad
won bis wager, the peer declining
to exhibit in puris naturalibus !
ALBANY, OCT. JO.
A cucumber bas been raided in
a.garden al Stillwater, the past
feafon,from a feed brought from the
East Indies, which measured fix
feet and some inches in length —
another from the fame feed excee
ded five feet, and several from 12
to 24 inches. The longtf was a
bout the bigness of a mail's thigh
—lt is said the plant had not a
fair chance in the early part of the
season, having beenfoaded from the
influence of the morning fun.
Several pumpkins have been
raised in this quarter' the lafl sea
son which measure from 5 to 6 and
7 feet in circumference, and weigh

COUNTERFEIT THIRTY DOLLAR BILLS.
The ernffon of tbe United States
Bank Notes of this denomination
bas been counterfeited, and ma&of
the bills are now in circulate :
They are wll executed as to the
writing ; but the engraven lines
may eajily be deleted, the letters
bring g' net ally not so bold as in the
true bills ; and by meafaring /be
lines, they are found not to be so
long ; the paper on which they are
printed is also much darker, and
not so wide ; the date is hkewife
a dfinguifoing mark of detention,
being the 3d of a month, whereas
in the true bills of this value, the
date is invariably the 2d.
NEW-YORK DEC. I.
A lift of the members of the French Con
vention whobave been aiLffiaatcd, guillotined
orimprifoned, have been lately pubiibed in
the American papers—This lift was very
erroneous, as it Bated 14 only to buve been
. guillotined ; whereas 21 were, guillotined at
the time Briffot fell—The whole number
guillotined cannot be left than about fifty.
The following lift if taken from the
French Courier —but it includes thofc only
who beloug to the Mountain or jacobin par
ty, and not half the whole number.
