Nor could the moth or locust stay.
The sulky martin snapt and child
The fox, in smiles, his anger hid;
/ he monkey, last, more knave than fool,
Iurn'd all the speech to ridicule.
The Elephant, with all his phlegm,
Laughed almost out, and, crying hem !

Concluded in the following style:

Apply to n0Hc,-apply to all;

Who feels not, needs not stop his ears y
These Fables, so,-';is very plain
Are not ADDRESSED to France, nor Spain,
Nor any enc peculiar spot,
But every place, no matter what.
Norarc they to this age conhn'd,--
For faults are common to mankind
And since there is no pointed aim
OF liking individual blame,
If he who feels the smart declare It,
The cap fits hi1.-so let him wear it.

REFLECTIONS on CONTENTM1Nr.
All mankind who reason, unite in one
general conclusion, zve 8h1UH de c1utCnt-
cd, but never found that man yet who
was really so. The soul, which is an
immortal being, cannot find real CON
tcptment in mutabIc and transient OBJ
jects and in a religious light, it would
be improper that man should be com
plctcly satisfied with terrestrial honours,
riches, glory and rcnown, as he would
then entertain no q sire for eternal fell
city. 10 carry this thought a little far
thcr; when reflect upon contcntmcnt,
and find no one in possession f this
treasure upon earth, mcthinks il should
strengthen our belief with respect to fu-
turity; for as every thing hath its con-
rast--as fire and water, black and white,
great and small, strength and weakness,
&c. &c. by a parity Of reasoning, the dis
content Of human nature should also
somewhere have is oppp.ite, contea.-

mcnt and ~ it is not to be ne. y;;ts
under the sun, we must conclude thar il
is to be found in another world; for in
this, as the poet happily expresses it.
That Somefhing ever M1boSseSSed,

That Somethins', could 7Ue but ATTAIN.

There is, indeed, great deal of aHecta-
ton played off in the world, CONCERNING
contentment. There are many men whose
pride and vanity will not allow them 70
let their neighbours know their wants
and who pretend to enjoyments they ne
yer taste. These splendid miSera6Ies are
all gaety and mirth in public in pri-
vate, melancholy and wretchedness.-
On the other hand, it is a mark of 4 very
marrow way Of thinking, for a man,
whose possessions scarcely allow him the
cOnvenlencies of life, to pretend that he
IS satisfied. This is false philosophy,
winch Will never supply his wants and
Ike that OF the other who boasts posses
alons dc does not enjoy, may afford
temporary external qualification with
the world, but Will never furnish Them
with real internal satisfaction.

introductory Fable.
TIE Elephant and other Animals.
IN days Of yore and realms remote,
" hen every brute employed his throat
To give his thoughts vocal dress,
In one or many languages
An Elephant, who felt zeal
Wisely to serve the commonweal,
had noticed how abuses swarm d
Which ne supposed should be rcform'd. |
or this good purpose he convokes
a meeting Of the GENTRY folks,
Whom CATER lowly bowling to)
fle urg'd to take a cu1la1d vic7U,
by smoothing matters, at the start,
an an eXordium conn'd by heart
But on the subject warmer grown,
lie soon assum'd a karsher tone,
And without further hens or hats,
Condemn'd a thousand obvious faults !
rs many vices next assaird,
And lash'd some habits which prevai'd:
such as, shameful Incidence,
Stuff afiectation, imPudcnce,
Malicious envy, treachery,
And arrogant stupidity.
Somc of the audience, it appears,
" 18th open mouths, as well as cars,--
10 Wit, the harmless lamb and dove,
The pointer, full Of i1yai love,
l ne PGtient horse, tn WGlari1us bee,
The ant, that 7o1rkng prodigy,
J he ch,whose voice Is pras'd so high,
he Plumage-spangied butterfly
Had Hsten'd, all, to what they heard,
So as to a7yaAo7v every word.
But of 'he hearers there were some
Who took offence, & look'd quite grunl
And scarcely would attention pay
To what the 'babbler" had to say.
The yavenous wolf. the tiger erin,
With indignation scowPd at him
The serpent, then, demon quite,
Bcich'doutthe poisonous breath of spite,
And with hoarse b1lz1, and lluy5allyjnc
The hornet fierce, the idle dronc. rtone,
The wasp, and bloody yellow-iacket,
Kick'd up a most tremendous racket.
OF those so restless, rude, and loud.
Some actually left the crowd
because, j! Gems, they tolk nc hints,

came fiore from the Prefdent. after landing

to roach the main guard, when the officer on duty
there took him under his protection. He pur-
iUed by midihiPman and party OF men, and at the
requeit OF the mdshipman, who anurcd the officer
that he was deferter, he delivered up and
veyed on board Of the frigae before the affair had
been officially communicated to the governor.
The captain of the Prifon flip went board the
Preident, in inquire into the merits of the cafe. The
commodore flated to him, that every man in the
iquadron had Gworn hmirIf to be citizen of the u
nited States before leaving America and if they
ihoud take it in their heads purjure themielves
every European port which they ,night accidentally
top, and be encouraged in fuch conduct, that he
would ioon be left without man ; and that under
