His Goose.
Look at that man who is eternally dab

economy, boring the public with rude no.

and making constant mischief among them
If he is merchant or tradesman, loosing
their custom, and forgetting the interests of
bis family for the will of the wisp.
He is Goose.
Look at him who never thinks himself
right, unless he has two or three law suits
on hand, who is so htigious, that if he has
not an action on his own account, either as
Plaintiff or Defendant, feels quite uneasy;
and rather than not have the enjoyment of
managing law suit, will provoke his neigh
fbors to fall out, and manage the suit forthem
gratis. If he is farmer, his fields lie un-
cultivated; if a tradesman, his shop is forsa-
tken; if merchant, his store is soon shut
up; his neighbors fly from him in fear, his
companions forsake him in disgust, he lives
miserable, and dies unregretted.
He is Goose.
See that miserable wretch who, although
rich, yet denies himself the common ne
cessaries of life; whose stomach gripes
with hunger; whose body shivers with cold;
whose house is almost rooness; it's win
dows stuffed with old hats; and old they
must be indeed, ere they have the honor of
filling that situation; all this merely to save
the expense that the opposite comforts
would cost him. His door, however has a
good lock, which was never drawn to ad-
smit the necessitous or the poor. His little
grey eye never shows scintilation of glad
ness, but when he sees dollar which he
can grab; who would sell his fathers body
for dissection, were he well paid for it; who
forever is grinding the faces Of the poor;
who viii not have the comfort of servant
to assist him in his little wants: no, the
poor wretch would have the same fear as
Shylock had for the expense the stomach
of poor Launcelot Gobbo. His whole life
is penury uselessness and wretchedness!
His death is daily prayed for by his heirs.
He is great Goose.
Look at that man who, to make dis
play ofhis house furniture, his plate, his
wines, &C., frequently invites his neighbors
to dinners and large parties, merely for the
vanity of the thing, who spends regularly,
third over his yearly income, while those
who are feasting and reveling at his ex-
pense, (or rather at that of his creditors,)
despise and laugh at him, and would not
give dollar to save him from the Jail, to
which he is fast conducting himself.
He is Goose.
But only perceive that young fellow
whose dress is erqatiSite, whose form and
figure is SO robust, whose whiskers are tre'
mendous, whose whole attention at the
church, at the theatre, and all public places
is exclusively paid to the ladies. He is
ever seen ogling them, fddling about them
who boasts in every company, of iavor'
and attentions, he never received from them
who, if he can make it out, seduces them
and instead of ever trying to repair the In
Jury, leaves them to shame, remorse anC
misery.
