ANDREW JONES.
FROM WOODWORTH'S lyrical, BAtHOS.
I Hate that Andrew Jones he'll breed
his children up to wage and pilage ;
I wilh the press gang, or the drum
with its tantarra found would come,
and sweep hint from the village !
I said not this, because he loves,
through the long day to swear arid tipple ;
but for the poor dear fake of one,
to whom a foul deed he has done,
a friendUG man, a travelling tripple.
"For this poor crawling helpless wretch,
fume horseman who was palling by, x
a penny on the'ground'had thrown;
but the poor cripple was alone,
. and could not ftoop=no help was nigh.
Inch thick the dust lay on the ground,
for it had long been droughty weather ;
so, with his ftaff, the cripple wrought
among the dust, 'till he had brought
the half pennies together.
It chanc'd that Andrew pafs'd that way,
gust at the time; and there he found
the cripple in the mid-day heat
Handing alone and at his feet?
he saw the penny on the ground.
He Rop'd and took the penny up :
and when the cripple nearer drew,
quoth Andrew, “ under half a crown,
what a man finds is aH his bwa,
and so my friend, gbod day to you."
And HENCE I said that Andrew's boys
Will all be train'd to waste and pillage ,•
and will'd the press-gang, or the drum
with its tantarra found would come,
and sweep" him from the Village !
MEDLEY.
—— I —— , —
Frota a London Paper.
La& month We inserted from the Liverpool papers ah 1
account of some large importations of gold and silver fpe-I
cie from Philadelphia, chiefly the coins of the United I
States —We are glad to fay it hill continues from differenti
ports of Americatto Liverpool, so that we (hall be able to
import the gold and Elver eagles of America as faft as the
mint of the United States can coin them. The imputation
of Britilh goods in America is Rill increasing, and the ex
change is five per cent in favor of Britain. We are happy
to inform our readers that the Glasgow manufacturers have
also received remittances of late from America in gold and
silver eagles,—The following we extract from a Glasgow
paper—'Arrived the Sarah, captain Snowden, from Charlef
too, with 650 bags cotton, and T 9 boxes of specie ; the
boxes of gold and silver are addressed to sundries, viz
Lindfcy, Dalrymple, Dickson, Arnott, Aullin, George
Wilson, &c. all manufacturers in Glafgow.' -
THE QUAKER AND CURATE.
After the cerimony of marriage, the Curate demanded
a crown as his due.—“ How dost than prove from ferfp-•
ture" said the Quaker, " that thou oughteft to have from
me such a (hare of earthly mammon ?''—^ Why replied
the Curate, " the person you have just been married to, is
a woman of a good character ; and Solomon, in his prov
erbs observes, that a virtuous woman is a crown to her hus
band." The Quaker paid the money.
THE PARIS TIPPEE.
The dress of the Parisian beaux is thus humouroufy an
lopnced in a late paper.
* Have you a chefnut coloured coat with the new col
far? Are the buttons of white metal and femiglobular ? isl
your vest tingle breasted, and are the buttons pearl ? Does
Harmond cut your hair and w)ifcrs? Have your flockings
large clocks ? Have you^r boat fooes ? You are then in
the rage. You will be welcome in the parlour, and Cyda
fife will admit you into her Boudoir, without that you will
mot pass the “ drawing-room ; or if you make your way
into society, you will not be noticed. The young gencry
will survey you without speaking to you ; the belt dan
cers among the belles will refufe you ; finally you will have
no fuccrfs—you will make no noise—you will have loft
your evening.'
A Woman, among fevages, is a bead of burden; in
the East, a piece Os furniture ; and In Europe a spoiled
child; in America the lovely and beloved and cob:,anion of
man.
SAD EVENT.
' What news in the great world ?' asked a country par
son, of a gentleman who had just left the metropolis—"An
event Sir," answered he, 0 recently took place, which,
from its afpeft, threatens to affc& every body in a manner,'
that, if persisted in for any length of time, must have una
voidably produced the deftrudtion of the whole town.'—

Improved Patent Bedstead.
THE Subferibers having observed
and experienced many inconvenience attend
ding the fixing, gutting up, and taking down that
necessary Article of Furniture, the Bedstead,
have invented an improvement to ren^Hy those in
conveniences. Being equally applicable to com
mon Bedsteads, with lacking Bottoms, as to more
costly ones, they ,> fuade thtmftlvts it will meet
with general approbation. It would exceed the
limits of an advertisement to be particular in de
scribing the ftruAureand advantages It may fuf
fice to fay, the Bedflead is firmly fastened rt
t he corners, without the troublesome operofe con
trivance and use of screws. It may be easily put
up by one person, and little more time is required
for taking it down by one person, than would be
necessary for putting upand taking down the leaves
n f a Dining Table. These advantages are obvious
io an article which requires frequent examin lien
and is frequently removed, but th# special advan
tages in case es Fire will be perceived at once by
those who have been obliged to removed and save
furniture on such occasions ofworry and difirefs—
The fubferibers flatter themselves that an invention
combining (implicit,, nfefalnefs, and cheapness
will be encouraged by a generous Public.
The right for making and vending the above
Patent bedstead, may be purchased, on appli
cation th either of the fubfenbefe at Portfmouih
