A Beautiful SONG.—Sentimental,
A new-fallen lamb, as mild Emmeline past,
In pity the turn'd to behold, (blast,
How it Shiver'd and shrunk from the merciless
Then fell all benumb'd with the cold.
She rais'd it, and touch'd by the innocent's
fate, ''.
Its foft form to her bosom (he preft ;
- But the tender relief was afforded too late,,
It bleated, and died on her breast.
The moralist then, as the corfe (he refign^d.
And, weeping, Spring flowers o'er it laid,
Thus laid- "So it fares with the,delicate mind,
'' To the tempests of fortune betray'd.
'' Too tender, like thee, the rude (hack to
sustain,. "•
“ And deny'd the reliefwhich would save ;
" Tis loft, & when pity & kindness are vain,
" Thus we dress the poor fufferet's grave."

DR. CHEYNE once,when Nash was
ill, drew up a prescription for him,
which was sent in accordingly. The
next day the doctor coming to fee his
patient, found him up and well, upon
which he a£ked if he had followed his
prescription ? “ Followed your pre.
icription ! (cried Nafh} no, egad ! if
I had, I fhouldhave broken my heck,

- The Lady of the Cave.
[concluded.]
IN fine, the lover was sent for
the next day, to be made partak
er of the joy fill news ; and after
some confulatiofr.it was thought
Left he should come down with
my uncle, and make his addresses
in perlon to the young lady ;
that her father was not to ap
pear in the affair ; but that if
she consented, , the marriage
should be folernnized here.—My
uncle is RO aft as her guardian,
and have the management of
every thing. This seemed, in
all their opinions, the most ef
fe&ual way of silencing the
tongue of cenlure on her parting
from home in that clandestine
manner ; fir.ee it must appear
she went away for no other rea
son, than to flee from the cruel?
ty of a parent who forced her to
receive the addresses of a man she
could not love.
Now, dear Arabella, you have
the whole of this mysterious
/matter ; but you would have
pitied the poor creature, if you
bad seen the agitation she was
in on hearing my uncle's coach
was coming up the lane that
leads to the houle.—She ran to
, the window, endeavering to dis
cover, while at a distance, who
was with him ; but a.row of
thick-let elms, with their inter
mingling branches, deprived her
, of the power ; and not till they
alighted, and were just entering,
1 could she persuade herfelf it was
any other than her father. —It is
possible, however, that on fight
of this Granger, who is an ex
treme handsome well made man,
she might guess part of the truth
—for, as she has since confefled
to me, he had given her some rea
sons to imagine he loved her,
though he had never any op
portunity of declaring his passion
to herfelf.
My uncle made no mention of
any thing that had passed, and
matters of mere indifference fill
ed up the conversation all supper
time. When the hour arrived I
for repose, he saw his guest into;
a chamber prepared for him, and
then returned to give us an ac.
count you may believe we were ;
impatient enough to hear. The j
young lady could not be told ;
that the conditions of her pardon
depended on her accepting this
gentleman for a husband, with-;
put blushing excessively. The
proofs he had given, however, I
of his love and generosity, had :
all the weight they ought to have j
with her ; and I do not doubt j
but that a very few days court-j
ship will entirely subdue all the ;
Scruples her excels of modesty
raises, in opposition to the wish-;
es of so ardent and faithful a
lover.al)
When the wedding is over, we;
shall all go to town together.!
The bride and the bridegroom §
are to wait on the old gentleman
in form, and ask pardon for hav
ing married without his knowl
edge, after which the feafting,
ball, and every thing proper for
celebrating the nuptials of people
of their diftinftion, ihall be ele
gantly furnifhed ; & you will have
the pleasure of feeing the lady of
the caye, shine out with all the
advantages of pomp and gran
deur. It will allo, I flatter my
felf, add to your fatisfaaion, that
this happy catastrophe is greatly
owing to my courage, in pursu
ing and discovering the white
devil of Broxbon wood. If it
would have so good an effed on
you as to rid you of the fears
you are in of ghosts and appari
tions, I Shall have a double cause
of rejoicing. [Finis.]

The Salamander-Real.

by M. De Pentbier, is aidr^fa la tbs,mraal

GENTLEMEN,,
IF it is true, that, with too much faci.
lity, we sometimes adopt the marvel
lous, it is also true that we sometimes
reject it at firft fight, without due r#'
gard to the credibility of the testimo
ny. Such a reproach might be made
with justice by the ancient naturalists,
could they raise their heads, to those
of the present age, Our cautious en-
quirers have agreed to declare as fa
bulous and absurd, the vu|gat opin
ion concerning the Salamander.—^ —
That opinion may have been embef
lifhed by the fictions'of poetry ; nev
ertheless, I cannot entertain a doubt,
that there exits a species of (mall liz
ard, which can live some time in the
hotel! fire. Heie is the proof:
Being in the Island of Rhodes, busy
writing in my closet, I heard suddenly
an uncommon noije in the kitchen ;
I ran, and found the cook in a terri^
ble fright. As soon as he saw me, he
cried out, 66 the devil is in the fire !"
I examined the grate, & saw diftipa
ly, in the middle of a very hot fire, a
little animal, with its mouth open, and
its breast palpitating. After attentive
observation, and being assured there
iwas no deception, I took pincers to
'catch it. On the firft attempt Imade
;the animal, which had remained sta
tionary till then, that is, during an in,
. terval of two or three minutes, fled
into a corner of the grate. p I fnipt off
the point of its tail, and it hid itfelfa
■ mong the red hot ashes. Having dis.
covered it again, I seized it by the
middle of the body and drew it out.
It was a small lizard. I preserved it
in spirits of wine.
llt was afterwards presented by me,
'with an account of its discovery, to the
Count de Buffon, who found it to dis.
'ferfrom all he had ever seen. He
, had questioned me a great deal on
this extraordinary fad, and promised
; to make mention of it. The preferv.
ed animal is now in the cabinet.

Anecdote of Sir Isaac Newton.
It is said of this celebrated
character, that he did once in his
life go to " a wooing," and, as
:was to be expeded, had the great
reft attention paid the little pecu-,
;liarities which ever accompanied
I great genius.—Knowing he was
fond of fmoaking, the lady aHid
uoufly provided him with a pipe,
and they were seated, as if to o
pen thd business of Cupid. Sir
Isaac fmoaked a few whiffs, see
med at a loss for something, whif
fed again, and at last drew the
chair to the lady ; a pause of
minutes ensued ; Sir Isaac seem
ed still more uneasy : Oh ! the
timidity of some men, thought
the lady—when lo ! Sir Isaac had
got hold of her hand. Now pal
pitations be^an ; he will kiss it,
no doubt, thought she, and then
the matter is sealed. Sir Isaac
whiffed with redoubled fury,
and drew the captive hand near
er his head ; already the expect
ed salute had vibrated from the
hand to the heart when, pity the
damsel, gentle reader ! Sir Isaac
only railed her fair hand, to make
uteof the forefinger for a purpose
he much wanted ty tobacco^
