A Night-Cap Speculation.


A CERTAIN Capt. Baculard left Mrrseiles

he hauled up in the harbor of Tqus to

that he was freighted for Canton, that he
had nothing to do with Tuns, and that he
had only put in from distress of weather.
But the collector exhibited manifest necessi-
ythat he should fork over. Capt Baculard
did fork over in rage, but instantly repair
ed to the palace of the Bey demanding
justice.

There are twenty thousand Jews in

THE HONEST MAN.
BIZ GEORGE HERBERT,

Who is an honest man?
He that doth still and strongly good pursue;
TO God, his neighbor and himself most true;
Whom neither force nor fawning can
Unpin, or wrench, from giving all their due.
Whose honesty is not
So loose or easy, that rufIling wind
Can blow away, or glttering look it blind;
Who rides his sure and even trot,
While the world ROW rides by now lags be-
hind.
Whom none can work or WOO,
To use in anything g trick or slight,
For above all things he abhors deceit;
His words and works, and fashions too,
All of piece; and all are clear and straight.
Who never melts nor thaws
At close temptations. When the day is done
His goodness sets not, but in the dark can
run.
The sun to others wrteth laws,
And is their virtue. Virtue is his sun.
