The following neat Song is taken from q
new opera, called Too Faces under d
Hood, now performing on tie Covent Car
Gen Stage.
The blast Of Uar,7ray loudly blow,
The note Of animation,
Yet yalor ! what inspires Thy glow,
Like woman's appreciation
Woman without thy dazzling charms,
The world were wrapt in shade
Gold were the clzrioq'3 call 10 arms,
And laurePd wreaths would fade.
Then lovelysex, with magic smile,
Still point out hopes, our cares be-
guile,
While glory, love, and duty,
Shall warm,
Alarm,
Inspire,
And fire,
70 gain the NEED Of beauty.

advantages Of a SIMPLE Life.
Many are the silent pleasures of the
honest peasant. He rises cheerfully to
his labour-Look into the dwelling
where the chief Of every mans haPPi-
ness lies-he has the same domestic
endearments, as much Joy and comfort
in his children, and as aattering hopes
o{jheir doing well, to enhven his hours
and gladden. his heart, as you could con-
ceive in the most af1luent situation
and ! make no doubt in general, but if
the true account Of his joys and suffer-
ines were balanced with those Of his
betters, that the result would prove that
the rich man had more meat, but the
poor man the best appetite the one
had more luxury, and more able ply
sicians to set him to rights---the other
more health and soundness in his bones,
and less occasion for their help; that
after these two articles were balanced
between them, in other things they
stood on level, for the sun shines as
warm, the air blows as fresh upon the
one as the other, and they have an e.
quail share in all the beauties and real
benefits of nature.
