A FLEA UNDER A Microscope. When a
flea is made 10 appear as large as An elephant
we can see all the wonderful parts of its for
nation and are astonlshed to find that it has
coat of armor much more complete than
ever warrior wore, and composed of strong
polished plates fitted over each other, each
plate covered like tortoise shell, and whore
they meet. hundreds Of strong quilts project,
like those on the back of the porcupine or
hedgehog. There are the arched neck, the
fright eyes, the transparent cases, the
piercers to puncture the skin sucker to
draw away the blood. six long Ijointed legs
four Of which are folded on the breast, all
ready, at any moment, to be thrown out with
tremendous force for that jump which bothers
one when they want to catch him. and at the
end Of each leg hooked claws, to enable hin,
to cling to whatever he alights upon. A flea
can jump hundred times his own length,
which is the same as if a man jumped seven
hundrcd feet and he can draw q load two
hundred times own weight.

And thou. the scorn Of every patriot name
Thy c"untry's ruin, and her councils shame
Poor, Scrvilc thing derision of the brave!
VI no crst from TarIeton fed to Cartcr'S cave;
Thou, who when mrnacrd by perfiaious Gru',
DidSt PROSTATE to her wliSlicrpd mnions fall,
And when orr cash her empty bags supplied.
DilSt mranly strive the foul disgrace to hide:
Go, wretch; resign the Presidential chair,
Disclose thy secret m assures, foul or fair,
60, search with curious eyes for horned frogs,
Mil the wild waste of Louisiana bogs;
Or viii re the Ohio rolls his turbld stream
Dig for huge bones thy glory and thy theme;
Go. scan Philosophist, thy Slllys charms
And sink supincly in Ter sable arms,
But quit to ADLER hands the helm Of Safe,
Nor image ruin on thy country's fate.
