preference to all other dish &ewes, and is esteemed peculiarly deli-

A RURAL. Of ;
OR, 'TIS WELL 'TIS NO WORSE!
IN Seville, a Nobleman grac'd by bright Boots,
Was tender'd an offering of cream and rich fruits;
l'se.spples at first were propos'd, but the Fates
For these substituted, most luckily—dates.

Twelve peasants who nought of disaster could dream,
Bore each in his hand a large bason of cream,
With dates in profusion.—" Observe," said their leader,
" In ev'ry respect to adopt my procedure—
,' Whatever I do—do exactly the same."
Well—into this Nobleman's presence they came—
But when in the Jet of unrivalled eclat
His form by reflection the leader first saw,
Ile dropt both the cream and the fruit to the ground!
His friends did the same—and a deluge profound
Pervaded the room. With astonishment mute
The Nobleman stood—while his more active suite
Embracing the means, sent fierce volleys of dates
Athwart the discomfited peasantry's pates!
" How kind," cried their leader, " the Fate that annuls
" Our foolish resolves! had we pine-apples brought,
" Fatality then bad been certainly wrought—
" A volley of pines would have fractured our skulls !
" Each sprite in the Boots his position maintains,
" Let's fly from the danger e'en now that remains!"
" Stop, stop," cried the Don, with loud laughter convals'd,
* Pray don't by the forms in the Jet be repuls'd :
" These shades in the Boots are of Fashion the pride,
" To Elegance—Ornament—Taste, all allied !"
Then dread with the peasants gave way to surprise,
And each in respect with bis fellow now vies
To welcome the stranger—no pine-apples lacking,
'Whose Boots are illlllllilll with WAlllll3l'll Jay BLACKING !
