FOUNDER OF YALE CoLLEcE.-Elihu Yale
the founder of Yale College, at New Haven
Conn, was buried at the church in Wrexham
Wales. His monument, a plain altar tomb,
bears this inscription
Born in America, in Europe bred,
In Africa Travelled, and in Asia wed;
Where long he lived, and thrived, in London died
Much good, some i'll, he did; so hope ais even,
And that his soul through mercy's gone to heaven
You that survive and read this tale, take care,
For this most certain exit do prepare.
Where blest in peace the actions of the Just
Smell sweet and blossom in the silent dust
The strangest TACT is yet TO tell. 1t is re-
corded that Mr.. Yale went TO the East Indies
from this country as an adventurer, and becom-
Ing wealthy, obtained The Presidency of Mad
ras, and is said 10 have ruled with oppressive
authority. He caused his groom to be hanged
Tor riding out a %iavorite horse without leave.
For this murder he was ordered to England,
where he was tried for the crime, but by some
means escaped all punishment, excep, a heavy
fine. lie died l726, His descendants now
reside in this city.-Nep Haren Journal.

PONS Ass-INORUM.


DEAR srlnr,--I herewith send you a "pome" which, in
.,,ylt degree. expresses my 0pheclinks' on the late dss-iluou
Iaiors ot the Massachusetts, State BOARD Of Agriculture
Judging from their doings, | should say that n board had beer
fOund with a SOFT side TO IT.
In Boston town-Of great renown
For literary c%roakers,
For its "wise saws its liquor laws,
And being ''down on" smokers
There did convene hard by the green,
A Board of Agriculture,
And DER the board prophetic scared
A carrion-loying %yulture.
Each empty pate being scratched in state,
This sentiment seemed strongest
.Ass-uredly he should chairman be
Whose towering ears were longest.
At length appears Sir Longest Ears,
In pride of well earned station;
And thus did "spOut''-the braying lout-
To the association.
cat all our Fairs proud horseflesh shares
| blush the fact to MENTION,
In spite of pens, bulls, rams, and hens
The bulk Of mems attention
ssNow, his great speed alone doth breed
This false taste in the masses;
Their judgment blinds, takes off their mind
From our choice bulls and asses.
"0ur only course is to bring the horse
Down to our piOus level;
And deem each gait that beats our rate,
The foul work of the devil.
And thus our fears felt for long years
Shall be removed forever;
And bulls and rams, pigs, geese, and lambs,
Shall bless our brave endeavor."
Twas moved straightway, by aye and nay,
The case should he decided.
Alas! the (br)-GyeS outneighed the neighs,
When in the vu!ture glided.
"'Here l have lown to claim my wn,
Your action but n farce is;
And though, of course, prcferring horse,
needs must dine on asses.
s'For soon as e'er the world doth hear
Your action vile on horses,
A speedy death shall stop your breath,
And III feast on your ~corses."
OF pride beware, nor set a snare
To catch your honest neigh-bors,
Lest yourself ta'en, long years Of shame,
Reward your pious labors.
