TI-tE"BOUGII AS,) TLiE BOW;

Thus spoke Mr. Str..lnY—" ron, know, my dear NERDY,
" I let you do all that you should; -
" But don't eat the cherries, ilon't. eat the gooseberries,
".-You might as well gnaw the gre-en-wood,”

•
NED promised. compliance—papa had reliance
'nn all that his little boy said ; •
Neu pass'd the gooseberries, but stopt at the cherries,
And cried, ":Why, I'm sux.e they !Ook red.".
No long-e.r he lingers—a. rake in his fingers
rifts;ile and iy two of the teeth
The fruit trees to glean off, but snaps the bough cleat
I.l:hiclifalls in the parsley beneath.

Expecting no pardon, away from the garOen
lie runs, with the how in his hand,.
The barn-door he enters, and with a sp-ade ventures
To bury the leaves in the sand.

In the best parlour window, sat SAtix GA lINDO,
And poor Mrs. Sr us with her cough ;
The sofa NED sat on, hut still lit p+. flis hat on,
Not-thinking of taking it off.

Papa said " how now, Si ! why where is your bow, Sir ?"
spolie in it sort of a huff ) • •
"In the barn," bellow'd ;Tenn,--fortii went Mr. STEADY,
And there found the bortgli sure enough!

Mr. lIENRY KENJWLE, the Son of Mr. STEPHEN
KEM,P.LE, who-licqiiitted himself so respectably at
the Hay-market Theatre this season, in the part
of OetaOian, .has resumed the direction of his 'fa-
ther's theatrical circuit in the North.
In a Coffee-11'011w, near the 'Change, is the fol-
lowing notifithition‘: —" Gentlemen learning: to
ispell are requested to use YESTEI(bAY'S Papers." •
A heaYycomplainthas justly been made against
tLe writers of modern Novels and Romances, full'
of ghosts,fiends, and murderers. The young Ladies
have been so inuelralarmed, that many or them ho
loner sleep alone.
Upon a-inoderafe calculation, the fish taken off
Brighton does not produCe less than fort):r thou,-
sand pound per annum, and it is extremely tiro-
hahle that the 'infant fishery at Hoye ‘will double
that sum in a short tune, for there—

" Each creek and lacy •
With fry.innurnerrible swarm, and sh9als • •
0 fish, that with their fin (end sliinifq, scales : • •
Glide under the green NA'a e."
The spirited projqa'or of this national .marine
settlement has already allotted several pieces of
ground gratis, 'idol' which are erecting cottages.
for the Weil awl their families, who are to be enk-
-ployed.
Now that all the Allied Troops have left
Fraiice, the-Parisians begin to display, in carica-
tures, their prejudiced opinion of diet!), whom,
when present, they loaded with flattery. AmOngSt
these there is one, called " The Discipline of the
Allied Troops-," which attracts great 'notice. 'A
Russian soldier, whose...lns at least
,six feet high,
waits in the most quiet manner the blow on the
cheek, (the most degrading insult in the opinion
of the "i'lrocli), which his Officer is preparing
to give Lim. , The latter, a beardless boy,
and very short, is obliged to. ascend "a high
stool, in order to read) the soldier's cheek.--
A little ,further, a Cossack is seen receiving
a sound caning; without coniplaining, although
the ferocious cast of his features does. not an,
nonnce :much mildness,,---This paragraph, ex-
tracted from the Gazette de li•ance• of August 2",
affords a striking proof of the gratitude of the Pa-
risians, whO are absolutely indebted for the ex-
istence of their capital, to the discipline and for-
bearance of those very men whom they here hold
up to ridicule, and who .certainly had strong pro-
vocations in the destruction of MOSCOW, awl the
atrocities comtnitted
,by the French in. Russia,
for retaliating :upon their 'invaders.—(illorning.

Among.the most curious Slate Papers of the
present day, is a bill lately sent to the Emperor of
Elba, for a breakfast of eggs and coffee, which
the said Emperor devoured at a small village,
near Ilanau,.Ou his tour from Leipsie, but which,
in his hurry, his Imperial Majesty had forgotten
to settle.

Qn Friday, at the sale of the furniture of the
late Mr. VAUC HAN, in the Abbey-foregate in this,
town, while the. Auctioneer was selling ,a ticci
'stead, and prononni..ing " Going ! going !”—snd-
denly the -floor' sunk , and the whole company;
with the contents of the room, were instanteotisly
Gone! into the kitchen below. One wonian had
her thigh broken -in rwo
,places.—(Shrewsbtay
Chronicle, Aug. 26.).

On the 12,th.instant, the-flay of rejoicing at
Belper; a poor man,-an' inhabitant of that place,
had made .a balloon, and, though Offered a con-,
siderable sum for it bv a-, Gent leinan , that it might
be sent off from Derby, :rellised' the temptation,
resolving that it shoidd-he launched from his na-
tive village. It wa.: lobsed-and went off in a grand
style, amidst tbe cheering of the whole popula-
tion of theneighbourhood. fn the basket attach-
ed to it was a fine piece of roast beef, and a letter
stating the time and occasion ofitsjieing sent ur,
and requesting that, whoever found it would give
notice:to. a Gentleman at Belper. A letter %vas
received on the tollowiag Tuesday; by post , stat- •
ing that the balloon fell' in a field near Mahlon,
in.EsscX, where some mowers were at work; The
beef was•- eaten, mid the Gentleman who read the
account treated the people ‘‘ with good British
beet," in which they drank to the loyal Oonors
of the beef, with three hearty huzzas. The,
bal-
loon travelled the diTstuce. (being near 200 miles),
in, a, Jew 'plumes more than three hours.

The frequent losses of-Bankers parcels, to and

of timea most daring and regidar system has been
pursued by a gang of ten or twelve wen, whom
we find, 'on inquiry, are Well known at Bow-
street;-and who having served their seven or four-
, teen veary apprenticeship in minor thelts,.are now
fidlowing this lucrative 'rode, art,'or mystery, in
copartnership, and are arrived at 'a perfection to
escape the vigilance of the Police OFfice; as well
as public attention, until too late. This week
one Cooke was comMitted to take his trial at.
Hertford, on the charge of robbing that -coach of
hills, and notes, exceeding the amowit of 53001.
And a reward of, 2001. .ryas also offered last week
for recovering a_ parcel missing from the Stroud-
water coach, of nearly 30001. ; which are not the
only instanees..within a few n\ontlis.
