are sixteen several services which this
tree, though small, yields to the inhabi-
tants. The leaves serve fol covering
their houses, and fine yarn may be spun
out of them for vestments. Out its roots
strong and thick ropes are made, and it
is further remarkable, that each plant,

The following burlesque ECLOGUE is
submitted to the perusal of the male and
female coquettes of the day; for unbappiiy
coquetry is to be found in both the sexes.
H.
ANTIQUE a.NOJRS.
IT'S eve-the sun his ardent axle coois
In ocean: dripping geese shake of the poois'
Anelm mems shadows measure: red anddun,
The SHATTERED leaves are rustling as theyrun;
While an aged bachelor and ancient maid'
Sit amorous under an old oak decay'd
He (for blue vapors lamp the scanty grassy
Strews fodder underneath the hoary lass;
Then thus" Oh matchless piece of sea-
son'd clay!
IT'S autumn, all things shrivel and decay.
Yet as in wither' d autumn charms we see,
Say, faden maiden may we not in thee?
What tho thy cheeks have burrows ne'er
deplore,
For wrinkles are the burrows Of three score.
Tho from those azure lips the crimson flies,
1t fondly circles round those roseate eyes.
Come then, age urges, hours have winged
feet,
All! press the wedding on the winding sheet.
To clasp that waist compact in stitfen'd
fold, [gold !;
OF wool purpureal, fower'd with radiant
Then after stately kisses, TO repair
That architectural ediice of hair
These, these are blessings oh my grey
delight
Oh venerable nymph! Oh painted blight!
Give me to taste Of these. By heav'n above,
tremble less with palsy than with love;
And tho my husky murmurs break uncouth,
MY words flow unobs.mcted by a tooth.
Come then, age urges, hours have winged
feet,
All. press the wedding OH the windingsheet.
"Come, thou wilt ne 'er provoke crimconie
law,
Nor lie, maternal, on the pale aged straw.
Come, and in formal trolic inte rtwine
The braided silver Of thy hair with mine;
Then sing some bibuIous and Keeling glee,
And drink crusht juices of the grape with
met
Sing, for the wine no water shall dilute
IT'S drinking water makes the fishes mute.
Come then, age urges, hours have winged
feet,
Alb! press the wedding on the winding sheet"
So spake tie stern and elderly remains
OF once youth: staff his frame sus.ainS,
And aids his aching limbs, from knee to heel
Thin as the spectre Of famish'd eel.
Sharpening the blunted glances Of her eyes,
The virgin decrepid shipper tries;
Then stretches rigid smiles, which shew
him plain
Her passion, and the teeth that still remain.
Innocent pair But now the rain begins,
So both knot 'kerchiefs underneath their
chins, [wrote,
And homeward haste. Such loves the poet
10 the patch'd poverty Of hall coat;
Then diadem'd with quilts his brow sublime,
Nagnanimously mad in mighty rhyme.
