Cries Doctor Slop elated with his ikill,
My patient, Tom, observe, I never kill ;
In twice ten hours, so quick 'd I cure his gout.
The Alderman was able to go out.
That's true, quoth Tom, let our opponents rave,
1 myfelf law him— going — to his grave.
A Nobleman being aiked by Queen Mary, who

Mr. Burke was, in his Juvenile days, extremely
fond of private anting. A few of his companions
proposed that he fliould play Richard the 3d, and
having given him the part at a very short notice,
he arose by times one morning, and walked
down a lane adjoining his father's honfe, so intent
on fludying his his part that he did not preceive a
filthy ditch before him, and had jud uttered with
heroic dignity," Thus far we bare got into the bow
els of the land,' when he found himfelf up to the
middle in the mire.
Ariflippus and TEfchines, having fallen
out, Arikippus came and asked TEfchines
whether they fliould be friends ? Yes with
all my heart, fays/Efchines. Remember fays
Ariftippus that 1 though your elder, fought
for peace. True, fays TEfchines, 1 begun
the ftrife and you the peace, for which rcafoff
I will always acknowledge you to be the
worthiest man.

THE FOLLOWING
VERSES
Were written by Arthur O'Connor, the celebrat
ed hi/h Patriot,
and distributed by him on his way to confinement in
Fort Geerge, Scotland, 1768.
I.
The pomp of courts and pride of kings,
I prize above all earthly things ;
1 love my country, but the king
Above all men his praise 1 ting,
The Royal banners are displayed,
And may success the ffandard aid.
I fain would banish tar from hence,
The Rights of Man and Common Sense ;
Confufion to his odious reign,
That foe to princes, Thomas Paine !
Defeat and ruin seize the cause
Os France, its liberties, and laws !
Nothing objectionable is here obvious to the
reader, but to learn the real sentiments of the
writer we mud take the firlt line of the firit verse
and next the firft line of the fecotid, the fecund
line of the firlt and the second line of the fecund,
and to on alternately. Thus we ffiall find sedition
in what at firlt appears to be loyalty.
From the Boflon Weekly Magazine.
THE MATCHLESS SHE.
WHEN from her looks, like darts of fire,
Love's arrows (he let fly ;
She fill'd my foul with foft desire,
I thought it was her eye.
When from her mouth, fell dulcet strains,
Where bees might honey tip,
'Twas then I thought 1 ow'd my chains
To her fweec rosy lip.
But when she danc'd, such ease, fucb grace,
As light she trip'd, was seen,
I gaz'd no longer on her face,
Caught by her air and meim
When seen, by chance, her snowy breafl,
Spoke the pure foul within,
Her eye forgot, my heart confefs'd
Its conquest, by her ikin.
But now I know nor heck nor face,
My bosom did enthrall,
'Twas wit, 'twas sense gave nameless grace,
And threw a charm o'er all.
Then let her speak, or look, or move,
Her captive I muff be,
A matchiefs charm awakens love
For the dear matchiefs she.
