: W Mr. Osborne,
BY inferring the following beautiful Motceau you grati
fymey of your fentimehtal readers.
A NEGRO LOVE-ELEGY.
WHEN Yanco dear fight far away.
Some token kind me fend ;
One branch of olive, tor dat fay,
“ Me wifli de battle end I”
De poplar tremble while him go.
Say,' Os dy life take care !
Me fend no laurel, for me know
/ Ofdat hefnd him share.
De ivy fay, “ My heart be true ;
"Me droop," fay willow-tree :
De torn, he fay, “ Me tick for you V/
De fan flower, “ tink of me,
VptiLlaft me weep wid de pine,
For fear poor Yanco dead :
He come ! and I de myrtle twine
In chaplet for him head.
Yet, ah I he droop de manly head,;
„And faint he lift de eye :
He fall ! but dough-dear Yanco dead,
My love fall neber die.
Foor Orra tink of Yanco dear,
Dough he be gone for ever ;
For he no dead,—he still live here,
And he from here go never.,
Like on a sand me mark my face, >
Qe wave come roll him over;_
. De mark he go,but still de place
'Tis easy to difeover.
1 fee 'fore now de tree, de flower,
He droop like Orra ftirely,—
And den by 'm bye dare come a Ihore,
He hold him head up purely.
And so sometime me tink me die,
My heart so sick tie grieve me;
But in a lilly time me cry
Good deal— and dat relieve me.

THE parish clerk of Ur ,in the North of
England whose name was Nathan, rented a piece
of land, which he set with potatoes, in the fame
close whereone David had potatoes growing. At
the time of getting them up, Nathan harboured
very strong suspicions that David made too free
with some of his potatoes. Meeting with David
one day he accused him of the theft, telling him
positively " Hewas the than," and upon David s
denying it, Nathan told him he might expert tp
hear further about it from the parfonof the par
ish. It happened a few Sundays after that, David
went to church (a place he very seldom frequent
ed) when the clergyman happened to take the fol
lowing text, "And Nathanfaid unto David, theu
art the man." —David hearing this, and recollect
ing that Nathan had made use of some such lik<
Words, Hepped out of his feat in a great hurry,
marched up the aisle towards the pulpit, and mak
ing a low low, begun as follows :—“ Ey, meafter ;
Nathan dud fay fooa, to be feur ; bu' a's o d—'d
- Jeear : a ftooat noune o' his taties ; marry dudn't
a'."
A Nobleman, of the th : tk blood of the Irish na
tion, paid his addresses to the daughter of a gentle
man in England,who valued money more than an
feftry ; the old man hinted to his lordship, that he
supposed his fortune was equivalent to his daugh
ter's.— < Why no, fir (replied his lordship) I can
not fay it is altogether to considerable ; but then,
you know, fir, there is my blood."—“ O, d-—-ri
your blood (replies the old gentleman without he
sitation ;) if you fquarider my daughter's fortune
away, foe muff not depend on your Wood tor a
fubliftence ; a hog's blood would be of more fer
,ice then, and would make much better Puddings.
A MODERN POLITICAL MAXIM.
Government cannot be administered without
indulging the great, oppressing the low, corrupt
ing the venal, silencing the jealous, ridiculing the
honest, abusing the patriotic and in general deceiv
ing the people.
