POETRY.
From SIR "THOMAS MORE—A tragedy.
Sir 7bom& proptfes a marriage to wbicb Lady More ob
je{h. He replies,
I tell you not what my intention is,
But be advis'd to egg an eye more kind
On merit without fortune. 'Frugal nature
Often denies her talents to the rich,
Giving them largely to the man who needs, f ;
And has no other portion. Noble fouls
Daily (merge from darkness and retreat,
; From unknown families and scanty means,
To fit with princes. So the ardent youth,
Born to no titles, no estates, or friends,
'Out-foars the great and rich, and looking down ,
From the high summit of true dignity,
Pities their littleness, whose fcornful eyes
Once laugh'd at him below.
Lad, More, Some may be such.
'But Dancy is an aukward (hame-fac'd boy,
Who makes no promise ; and, I think, Sir Thomas,
Your daughter, if ffie weds him, is undone.
Sir 7&oms. Fear not, my lady. I have fludied than
Longer that you have. I have learn'd to fear
The blossom that is carl,, and its leaved
Too soon exposes to the chilly spring.
But much I hope from the more modest bud,
That hides its head, and gathers secret 11Length :
Scarce blown at mid fumrner. An awkward gait,
Unpolifh 'd manners, and a fetter'd tongue, 4
A fhecpifh countenance, and burning check, '
Are clouds in which true genits loves to rife.
Aqd thus obfeur'd, like a November fun,;
She makes her ft&v.'nly progress unobferv'd,
Till foftjy thro' the gloom me Reals her way
In full meridian glory.

MEDLEY.'
IN the new'play of the Soldier's Daughter, received
with very great applause lately in London, Mrs. Jordan in
the epilogue, drew forth reiterated peals. The iaea of rai
ling a female toy of referee, muff hdve excellent effect,
and the materials of which this amazoUlan heft was to be
composed, excited considerable crerrimebt—the following
„ill tinftifc bur female readers:
"White glory animates each mortal nerve,
Should Britilh women from the contest swerve ?
No—-— —
We'll form a female arm, of reserve !
And elafe them thus—Old maids are pioneers—
Widows, forp footers— Wi^Cs aiefuzibers ;
Maldftor battalions, that's all under twenty,
And as for light troops, we have them in plenty !
Vixens the trumpet blow, Scolds beat the drum.
When thus prepared, what enemy dare come ?
Thole eyes that even Britons could enslave,
Would serve to light poor Frenchmen to their grave ;
We'll humble France—(ince British women can
Afaehth handle as they do a fan?"
A fihgular rircumflance occurred about one o'clock on
Sunday morning UR : -As two gentlemen were returning
late from a party in the city, to their homes in Weftmin
fltr, they met a man in Temple-bar without any article of
clothing on except lais shirt; he was walking on the middle
of the coach road ar a very quick pace 1 ; the gentlemen
called tQ him, but receiving no answer they laid bold of
him, fuppofiog him to be a maniac, or" some person endea
vouting to escape from the hands offo&c.' On the gen
tiemen infixing to know where he was going in that fiiuv
tibn, they received for aufwer, that he was walking for a
wager, and defined not to be detained, (his feet wife mov
ing all the time.) The gentlemen fupppfmg at firft it
might be the case, and that the person was deciding idme
whimfieal bet, were about tcflet him go, when they dis
covered that bis eyes were closed, and that he held a can*
dterinrih< hand,- this induced them r^ take him to a watch
house. In forcing him thither, he Suddenly exclaimed—
'God God 1 where am'l ?'' and followed up the exclama
tion with fading he whs afraid h?ha:d been walking in bis
Ilecp. The gentlemen.hearing this observation, no longer
doubted the fa% and explained to bim-the manner in
which they found him. The poor fellow, all foiveriLg
With cold, informed them, that some years ago Be ^as
much a&ided to walk fa bis sleep, but not having expe
rienced an, thing of the kind lately, he supposed hi^felf
no longer liable hit. A watchman furnifhed him with a
coat, and saw him fife home to his lodging in the vicinity
of Drury-lane. = ^ Pt
The fair fcx, who are made of man and not of the earth,
have a more delicate humanity than we have, and pity is
the most common'clufe of their tear#. A woman is ever
moved for those whotn fhf hears lament, but a man for
those whom ha observes to fuff^r in fitence.

"I touch the hand of the person next me," fays Werter,

commerce of the World dues one find 'this hand of wood !
and how often in the courtefas 4 life !-Offer your hand
to Candidas ; and he holds out one finger. Offer it~to

position occasioned by bilious redundances in the
I flomach and bowels. Diseases of this class, arc\
more difficult to'cure, &hen the attack is serious,
and combined with the inurpofition of bilious fe- 1
cretion, invading the blood and juices of the body.
It is therefore found, by daily 'experience, that
the best method of removing predtfpofition, is to
remove the content, of the flomach and boweh, by
efficacious and suitable purgatives ; and as often as
symptoms of heaviness, hffitude, debility, loss of
appetite, pains in the stomach and bowels, flow fc.
vers from colds, a sense of weight at the stomach,
and costiveness, &c& occurs, it is of importance
immediately to promote those evacuations, for
thereby the causes of more severe illness may be
speedily and happily removed, and much trouble,
expence and danger avoided.—To answer those
purposes, and tri be within the reach of every indi
vidual to preserve his health by a timely exhibition
of mild and suitable purgatives, no public medi

THE Subferibers having observed

necessary Article of Furniture, the Bedstead,
have invented an improvement to remedy those io-
Conveniences. Being equally applicable to com
mon Bedheads, with lacking Bottoms, as to more
costly ones; they perfume thtnrfelves it will meet
with general approbation. It would exceed, the.
Kpiits of an advertifemenl to be particular in de
scribing the dreat^ermd- advantages'll may fuf
fice to fay, the Bedhead is firmly fastened at
the corners, without the troublesome opcrofe con
trivance arid use offerews., It may, be easily put
up by one person, arid little, mere time is required^
