dent in the conduct Of Madame de Stael
who under the protection of Sir James
Macintosh, en- habit'd homnae, in a sur
tout and military indescribables, 'once
visited the House of Commons, and sat
out the debate.
GOOSY-.GOOSY GANDER.
You perceive that large heavy bird,
nearly all white, with red bill and feet,
fat and unseemly in its body, waddling
in its gait, awkward in all its motions,
and by no means handsome bird, in
any point of view:
IT IS A GOOSE.
Look at that man who is generally
dabling in politics, while he by no means
understands even the elements of polite
aleconomy, boring the public with crude
notions and impracticable schemes, set
ting all the ignorant bodies about him
in a ferment, making speeches in every
public meeting, that although they have a
beginning, have neither middle, (and alas)
you look long for the end as it; regards
common sense, vain are your expecta-
tions. Embrol ing himself with his quiet
.neighbors and making constant mischief
among them; if he is merchant or
tradesman, loossing their custom and for
getting the interest Of his family for a
will o the wisp:
He IssA GOOSE.
Look at him who never thinks himself
right, unless he has two or three law suits
on hand, who is so litigious 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 en-
joyment of managing law suit, will
provoke his neighbors to fall out and
manage suit for them gratis. If he
farmer his fields lie uncultiyated: if
tradesman, his shop is forsaken; if a
merchant his store is shut up; his neigh
bors fly from him in disgust, he lievs mis-
cradle, and dies unregretted:
He is A GOOSE.
See that miserable wretch, who altho'
rich, yet denies himself the common ne
cessaries Of life, whose stomach gripe
with hunger whose body shivers with
cold whose house is almost roohess: its
windows 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 OPP
posite comforts would cost him. His
door, however, has good luck, which was
never drawn to admit the necessitous or
the poor. His little grey eye nevershows1
ascintilation Of gladness,but when hesees
a dollar which he can grab ;who would
sell his farthers body for dissection, were
he well paid for it who forever is grin
ding the face of the poor; who will not
have the comfort of servant to assist
him in his little wants, no the poor wretch
would have the same fears as Shylock
had for the expense Of the stomach of
poor Launcelot Gobbo. His whole life
is penury, ,'uselessness and wretchedness.
His Deaths daily prayed for by his heirs.
He Is A GREAT Goose.
Look at that man who, to make dis
play Of his house furniture, his plate, his
wines &c, frequently invites his neigh
bors todinners and large parties, merely
for the vanity of the thing, who spends
third Of his yearly income
while those who are:feasting and revel-
ing at his expense, Tor rather at that of his
creditors,) despise and laugh at him, and
would not give him ardollar to save him
from the jail, to which he. is fast conduct
ing himself.
He rs A Goose.
But only perceive that young fellow, 1
