Come hither. • the of the Mai.
Whole winds ate stationed by ant
Attend to a forrovrful /train,
Attunl by a forrowiul heart.
ther ye y.rcin‘ dtaw near;
Far off be the gawdy and pond;
The tender dial' carry the bier,
And the innocent weep on the &rood.

Nor a path where the happy may bay ;

And the liow'reas unrifled decay.

VW here that the Pilgrim may hie,
Seened from the pangs of defpair.
And conceard from the pititda eye.
The Maid who lays low at thy feet.
Was lull'd in th, grave to repot*.
'The tale—but 'tis fad to repcat,
And the turf it has covtr'd her woes.
B* not on her foolty (mere,
Nor take from her virtue its due :
The vow o' her Up Ins fincere,
And the figh of her bofom was true !

A man of the name of Thomas Csfr, was lately

for (leafing a pound of Tea.
'Mat part of Clowes wood, in the pun of Blean,
in Kent, which caught file on Monday morning, ac-
cidentally, was cccalioned by the wind having blown
abroad fume live embers of wood, which h.td been
lighted for the purpofe of making wefts or bands.—
the fire began on the fide of the wood near the road
to Swaledale, and mended in the dire6ion of the
wind, nearly through to Blean Common, where it
luckily (pent ittell by the oppofition it received from
the !landing wood—after having, however, confum-
eel about thirty acres of furze and heath. The pro-
grefs of the flames was confiderably checked and pre-
vented from fptcading in lateral direaions, by the
patches of fnow which it encountered at different
places. It is fortunate that the wind was not in a
contrary quarter, and from the vicinity of the fire to
Thornden wood, an extent of (even hundred acres,
it is to be feared much more damage would have
enfued.

A SMALL billlTAlM—One evening Taft week, an
extraordinary circumftance occurred in the nei4h-
bourhood of Portman-fquare. As a certain convivial
Baronet, of equeltrian celebrity, and his Lady, were
dying the honours of hofpitality, mirth was the order
of the night, and the Baronet vied with a fele& com•
pany of intimate friends in gaiety and good humour.
Suddenly, however, the harmony of the company was
interrupted by the entrance of a fervant, raying, " An
ill-lookirg fellow sithed to fpeak with one of the com-
pany." The Baronet inftand), quitted the dining par-
. rt.r, and on entering thz hall, vas and vio•
alltuhed by two men, one of whom perf tied
o dragging him from his houfe, and informed him
that he was their prifoner. In v..in did the worthy
Bironet decl are that they mutt miilakt, as he Uid not
owe a guinea to any man. They contit.aed to drag
him throogh the ftreets, until met by a Gentlema,l
who recognifed the ill treated Baronet, and inftantly
exprcfred his furprize at the fituaLion in which he
f.und him. The repeated aifurances of the Gentle-
-lan at Taft intimidated the fsllowa, and they ran off
with all pollible fpeed. The Baronet immediately re-
tuirned home to his anxious and expeiaing company.
The miftake, we underfland, originated in his being
taken for one of his guefts. When the Baronet dif-
ce‘vered the mittake, he expreffed the higheft fatisfac-
tion that any thing difagrecable Lo his friends thould
'save been prevented by the miaake, though he hal
teen molt ferioufly ill ufed. We hear, that it is the
worthy Baronet's determination to make an example
i the offenders, in order, for the (inures to revolt
A prelims.
