A SONG.
THE flreamlet that flow'd round her cot,
All tiie charms of my Emily knew :
How ott has its course been forgot,
When it paus'd her dear im..ge to woo.
Believe me the fond silver tide,
Knew from whence it deriv'd the fair prize,
For filenrlv swelling with pride,
It reflected it back to the ikies.

Monsieur de Miravin, a young gentleman
of Paris, pofleffed, in addition to a great deal of
wit and vivacity, the amazing faculties of a Ven
triloquist. On his father's death, finding himfelf
yodelled oflittle more than the advantages of a
polite education, he resolved to make this talent
ftibfervient to fume ptirpofe of utility. He accord
ingly, by assuming a garb of piety and referye, in
troduced himfelf into the family of a rich citizen,
who had an only daughter an heiress of an immeufe
fortune. One day as they were conversing on re
ligious (objects, the citizen heard a voice solemn
ly whispering in h!s ear, '' Ifthou dost not give
thv daughter in marriage to this godly young man,
within three days thou (halt die." The old man
Parted with horror, and call his eyes on Mon. de
Miravin, saw that his lips were unmoved, and that
his countenance expteffed nothing but amaze
ment. The mother of the young lady, who was
present, ffrongly recommended an immediate con
clusion of the match, that her husband might es
cape his impeding fate. He, more fufpiclous, ad
journed to the Churcli of Notre Dame, there by
prayer to seek for comfort and information. He
had not been many minutes on his knees, when he
heard, from behind the altar, the word “ obey"
repeated thrice in the fame solemn accent as the
former warning. He returned home and the next
day made Moniieor de Miravin his son-in-law,
and one of the richest men in Paris.
