" What a gay infeft is this little butterfly"—
said Mils Sedate to Miss Mirthley, as they were
walking in the garden. -" He's gay but he's
good for nothing," replied Miss Mirthley, laugh
ing—« He's precisely like the beaux." " See,"
said Miss Sedate, " how he wheels and dips a
bout from flower to flower without flopping, like
the industrious bee, to collect their sweets." —
“ An exatt emblem of the beaux," replied Miss
Mirthley—“ you may fee them on a Sunday af
ternoon, or a summer's evening, fluttering around
every young lady in town, —never halting, like
the youth of understanding, to derive any real ad
vantage from the internal charms of the sex ;
but Hauntingly ikimming about, —dealing a glance
fresp one—lnatching a kiss from another, and
then palling on to the next and the next, till all
his acquaintances have been amused with his non
feufe, or disgusted with his impudence,—“ But
you know, Mis Mirthley," said Miss Sedate,
foiling " that this fame butterfly, a few weeks a
go, was one of the meaner of grubs—a little
worm, encompafled in a shell." —", That com
pletes the resemblance," cried Miss Mirthley,
with a triumphant laugh—the beau has been as
much a grub as a butterfly. When he was a boy,
he was difpifed for hisdullnefs and stupidity ; and
his uncouth and clownish behavior, rendered him
the laughing flock and derision of his mates. But
after grovelling in his shell for a season, he bin (I
forth—an ignorant, impudent, conceited, flutter
ing, fin taftical beau.—His neck swaddled with
an enormous pudding—his hair reduced to a rat s
tail, plaittered with pomatum and powder and
his legs loft in a pair of almost boundless boots
he fellies out to emulate the butterfly.
YOUNG YORICK.
Honesty and honor are tiifles become,
And conscience too often is trifled quite dumb;
The system of morris a trifle they call,
And religion is made the grand trifle of all.
And dill, as if trifling of trifling fell short,
Things solemn and serious to trifles convert;
Their time & their health, and money too, they,
And e'en reputation, oft trifle away :
Which will be fold very cheap by wholesale or
retail. Ata ~>Box., >Box.
My dock of comfort's small:
When fit fur nothing we are grown,
We can't, I think, too soon be gone—
Tho' rack'd from morn to night the brain,
Knowledge of all things to obtain,
In this imperfeft ball:•
More wisdom dill in vain we seek,
We never can depart less weak—
Good night, companions all I
From trifl'e to trifle this volatile age
Still varies ; and nothing but trifles engage.
The triflingeft felfr is highett preferr'd ;
The triftinged madam is dill molt admir'd.
Each bliss I've o'er and o'er enjoy'd
E^ch Paflion feels in me destroyed ;
Now verging to my eightieth year,
Tis surely time to lose yach fear
Os death's terrific call ;
Content that life and 1 should part,
With finiles I greet his welcome dart—
Good night, companions all,
'Tis Heav'n decrees, we firfl foould live,
AgainU whole power 'twere vain to strive ;
1 feel I soon muff fall:
Forc'd every ill of age to bear,
Can happier hours be look'd for here ?
Good night, companions all!
