IT chanced that the coat of a very fine fel
low
)Had been thrown on a bed, and lay close to
the pillow,
With that case which high company gives,
for the coat
Had been much in the world, and in circles
of note.
" Friend Pillow, ftys.be, "why that look
, of difhefs ?
By your tumbled condition, you've Sept iU,
Iguefs :
Or perhaps that year matter is gone you are
>forty.
He's a very fine fellow ; if so, I feel for,e:
I'm always delighted to go where! goes,
And mix in the mirth that around him he
:throws-
A/ wealthy, and wiuy, sod wanton, and
young,
Made far conquers his form, for persuasion
bis tongue;
On whom nature her prefeDts so lavilbly
(bowers,
, What mortal so blessed as this ma&r,of ours 1
Twould delight you to fee with what grace
'ful compofare
He throws down his guineas, or flakes an in
plofure.
'Topher night 'twas at whist that Sir Some
body blundered,
And loft him, I think, 'twas n't left than a
hundred.
To fee him, my friend, you'd conclude he
had won,
Such an easy, good tempered, sweet (mile he
'put on!
Whatwith dancing, and fingiag, and laugh
ing, and drinking.
You'd wonder what time he had left him for
thinking.
If he wins, if he loses, he's glad, and still glad ;
1 cannot believe he,kncws how to be fid.
With such mental control, and a heart so at
case,
. Sure never was found a man formed so to
please."
" And now," fays the Pillow, " it's my turn
^to speak:
If Ilet you alone, you'll go on for a week.
Since you lay that with ^ou he's as light as a
feather,'
Pray keep him, or come to bed always to
gether;
For the moment you're eff, such a trade then
' 'Yos,d think he was fairer bereft olhis fenf
c';
Such complaining, kith sorrow, repentance,
and hate,
Such curGug his fortune, such damning his
fate,
That, taking in bedlam, there is not in town,
A pillow whole Rate I'd not change with my
own.
The night that Sir Somebody last him a hun
dred,
At soon as he laid bimfelf down, how he
thundered I
I never was in such a fright in my life ;
He could not woife treat me if J were his
wife.,
He thinks, I believe, he can't ufa me too
rough;
I'm fometimea too high, sometimes not high
enough;
Then such knocking, and thumping, and
squeezing; but still
' I can't givecontent, do whatever I will.
To complete my misfortune, sometimes in a
; sally,,
He throws me as hard as be can at his valet,
Who venture! to give him his feurvy advice,
To have nothing to do with these villanous
.dice.
T'other night he declared he would do for
himfelf,
And took down a pistol which lay on the
,fhelf;
But after he'd held it some time to his head,
He thought better on't, and bethumped me
instead.
If this is the way with your very fine fellows,
•Twcrcbcitcibc aoy thing clfc than ,heir
pillows." J)

Dr. Samuel Bard, informs, that lime
water, mixed with an equal quantity
of new milk, has been found, not
only a fafe and easy way of exhib
iting the virtues of alkalescent sub
stance against poison, but so efficacious
as actually to have cured, by this pre
scription, three cases of black vomit
ting ; —and that in every instance, in
which fa has been exhibited, and they
,are not a few, it has relieved the unea
siness and burning at the stomach, and
checked the vomitting, which prove
such painful and alarming symptoms ia
the prevailing epidemic. ';]
J method to make Elder Spirits equal to geed
Brandy.
Take especial care that the cider is
put into clean vessels, free from waft
Or other difigreeable ' me "'>
\runnihg the low wines Joo ' o ^4^^E&
hive the fpirita an ill Eavour.—ln the^
second ditiliing, fhift the vcffel which
receives the spirits as soon as it rarfs be
low common proof, or has a disagreea
ble taste or smell, and put what runs af
terwards with the low wines. If the
cider is good, the spirits thus distilled
will take a third of its quantity to re
duce it to common proof, for which
purpose take the lad running from a
cheese of good watered cider unfer
mented. This will make cider spirits
better, and appear older in 48 hours,
than the common way will in two years,
and if kept to a proper age, will be e
qual to the best brandy ever imported.
The above is not from theory only,
but has been praaifed with constant
success for more than 20 years by to.

ONCE, when Philip of Macedon 4
and Dionyfius were drinking to=
gether, the former, talking ironically
of the verses and tragedies which Di
onylius the elder had left behind him,
expressed his wonder, that he could
spare time from his, other bufineG for
works of that kind. Diony fius repli
ed, " He used to spend that time in
writing, which such clever fellows as
you and I spend in getting drunk."

Fable V.
A LYNX was lying at the root of
a tree, sharpening his teeth aid
waiting for prey. In this conditions
spied a mole half buried under a dttle

lynx ; how I pity you ! How cat life
be desirable, when you have no fiht!
Surely Jupiter has treated you lith
great cruelty in depriving you of lifht.
Indeed you do well to bury yourfuf;
for you are more than half dead. Ac
knowledge your kindness, repliedkhe
mole ; but am well contented uith
what Jupiter has allotted. It is tru, I
have not your piercing eyes; bo I
have an extremely fine and delicate
ear. Hark ! I hear a hoife behind ne,
which warns me to secure myfelf from
approaching danger. Upon that he fl^k
into the ground ; and,at the fame tife,
the heart of the Lynx was pierced bi a
hunter's arrow.

Cluster oFMoral Maxims.
IT is every man's duty to make hira
felf profitable to mankind,
Nothing can be liberal which is not
i u "° .
It is not the painting, gilding, or
covering, that constitutes a good sip;
nor wealth and fplendour a good citi
zen.
° The house of a benevolent man is
comfortable, though narrow.
In the estimation of the ambitious he
that is not firft is last.
How contemptible is the person who
spends his life in parfait of a title, that
serves only, when he dies, to furnish out
an epitaphl
He that indulges in evil thoughts
wotfld indulge in evil adicns, if there
was opportunity.
Wisdom preaches temperance, not
mortification.
While the mind is found the speech
is mafeuline.
The corruption of the present time is
the general complaint of all times.
