THE stormy blafta of winter now

And fierce tempeftoous wmd& have

The warbling birdi in grove's and

While nature indicates approaching
spring;
Soon will this pleasant season glide
away
And summer's fun beam forth a warm

Autumn fccceed to pay the laborer's
toil
With grain and fruit that load the
fertile foil.
From frozen climes, stern clouds of
snow appear
To change the fcehe and close the

So 'tis with man ; whose life is but

And snatch frail man from off the

According to the minillerial mode
of reckoning, the more friends we
have by alliances, and the longer
we are at peace, the more necellicy we

should have lets foldters, and less

While his Majesty was this day go

Rate coach, a man dressed in scarlet,
with an orange cockade, threw aftone
with intent, as it is supposed, to strike
his Majefty,but which fortunately on

he was immediately seized and taken
to Mr. Grenville's office, where he
underwent an examination of four
hours before Mr. Pitt, Lord Chat
ham, the two Secretaries of State, and
Sir Sampson Wright, who committed
him to prison. He proves to be the
person who about a fortnight since
stuck up in the Court yard, at St.

THIS strange eccentric wag, in
company with three other La vivants,
raade an excurfton to France. One
had a falfe set of teeth, a second a
glass eye, a third a cork leg, but the
fourth had nothing particular, except
a remarkable way of Shaking his head.
They travelled in a poll coach ; and
while they were going the firft Aage,

fays the second, 'here be another
squinting fellow.' The third was tho't
to be a better fqinter than the other
two, and the fourth better than all
thereff. In fbort, language cannot
express how admirably they squinted,
for the, went on a degree beyond the
superlative. At dinner they all ap
peared to have cork legs, and they
stumping about made more divertion
than they had at breakfall. At tea,
they were all deaf; but st tapper,

did as he was ordered. This was no

The fourth watched his opportunity,
and while the- poor Affrighted fellow
was Surveying with a rueful bounce
nance, the teeth, the eye, and the
leg, lying upon the table, cried out,

Turning round, and feeing the man's
head (baking like that of a mandarin
upon a chimney-piece, he darted out
of theroom; and then, after tumb
ling headlong down flairs, he ran a
bout the house, swearing that the gen
