THE WINGS OF LOVE,
Imitated fnm the French of M. Moultier.
BY MR. DALLAS.
'TIS hid Love fliei... .whence fyrung his wingi?
The boy wai born with no iuch things;
Foi Innocence would never rove,
And wings were ueedleii, then, for Love.
Nor did they flioot up as he grew;
Fond Inf»ncy is pure and true:
And, (Fill unfledg’d, he reach’d the age
When gentle fight the heart tngage j
For Constancy will ever prove
The lifter fair of youthful Love.
But soon as e’er one balmy kiss
From Chloe’s lips had feal’d his bliss,
And taught his little heart to leap,
The callow points began to peep:
Another kifs....the callow points
To pinions Iprout, with downy joints f
Kiss follows kifs....two days, 'lis laid,
Full plumage o’er the pinions spread:
In fine, he talk’d, and woo’d so well,
He gain'd much more than I lhall tell,
Soon as his power the Urchin knew,
He proudly clapp'd his wings, and flew 1
FEMALE FASHIONS.
A new hcad-drefs, just imported from
Paris, bids fair to be quite the rage ! It
conlifts of a brown, silk cap, with artificial
ringlets, coming from beneath in front,
and from behind; the plaited hair is
brought up and folded round the head in
large braids. The appearance is Ample
and elegant. It fltuts out the coarse idea
of a wig, and, according to the accefobres ,
it is equally fitted to the parloir and the
drawing-room !
So abjeft is the flattery of the Ftench
to the First Consul, that some of the
Parisian drudges have been at the pains
to anagrammatize his name Napoleon ,
which they have difeovered to contain the
following words, viz. Laon, Paoo, none,
noe Leon , an, pole, and plan.

AFFECTING ANECDOTE.
From the French.
A SAILOR, of Martinique, married*
young woman, as virtuous as file was
beautiful, and file, having expended all
the little money her hulband, had left her
before he embarked, had recourse to a
wealthy citizeu to whole protection she
had been confided. The citizen infla
med with the charms of the fair borrower,
demanded as the price of his services the
surrender of her virtue; relying on the
hope of her husbands return, and shudder
ing with indignation at the proposal, the
insulted woman refufed him without
hesitation. The sailor did not arrive ;
and, in a few days, all the resources of his
unhappy wife were exhausted ; want, too
clearly made her sensible of her situation ;
(he was a mother—and dreading to behold
one infant perifli at the breafi which nour
iihed it, and the other, whose maturer age
demanded bread, expire of hunger before
her ; fl’.e fought the tyrant again, in the
hope of foficoing him. Hut prayers and
tears could obtain nothing from the bar
barian : file was forced to capitulate; and
vanquiflied by her neccllity, flic permitted
him to come to supper with her. After a
meal which was spiritless, the citizen pref
led her to fulfil her promise. The poor
woman took him to the cradle where her
child was sleeping; and then prefling it to
her bolorn, her eyes full of tears, file said
to it—“ Drink my dear babe ! drink
freely; thou yet received the milk of a
virtuous woman, whom necelfity, alone
dates to the heart. To-morrow, for alas !
J cannot wean thee—to-morrow ! thou
wilt driuk the milk of an unhappy”—her
tears fimfhed the The citizen
beheld and was moved at the light—
Throwing his pui fe at her feet, he exclai
n vd—“ It is not pollible to refill lo much
virtue. Anna Mariah Ports*.
ANECDOTE OF W. SHAKSPEARE.
One evening, at the reprefenta
tio.n of his own play of King Rich
ard the Third, Shakfpeare, who
was remarkably quick of hearing,
happened to be behind the feenes
with a party of both sexes, when
perceiving his Mock Majesty in
earned conversion with a ladv by
no means destitute of personal at
tractions, he drew near and feigned
to pay attention to fomediing else,
overheard an appointment made
bet.seen them at eleven o’clock
“ You will knock at the door,”
said she, “ I will then open the
window, and enquire who’s there,
when you will reply, Richard the
Third!' 1 Shakfpeare was a devout
worfhipper of Yenus, and being
likewise uncommonly fond of a
frolick, resolved to try whether he
could not introduce himfelf instead
of the favored lover •, for this pur
pose, about an hour before the time
fixed on, he knocks at tne door, the
Lady opens the window, and Shak
fpere, in a counterfeit tone of voice,
making the reply agreed on, she
comes down and lets him in. Ad
mitted into the Bed Chamber, he
confefled the stratagem, but employ
ed so much persuasion and address,
that he soon found means to recon
cile the lady to it. By this time
his theatrical majesty had arrived
and knocked at the door; Shak
fpeare immediately leapt out of bed,
and opening the window, begged to
know who it was; “ Richard the
Third /” exclaimed the hero of the
buskin. True, answered Shak
fpeare, but you may go away about
your business, for William the Con
queror has taken pojfejfion of the
fortrefs!

CLYTUS was bred by me, and was
got by the Old Imported Dare Devi!, his
dam by the noted running horse Marquis,
who was got by Shakespeare, out of a full
bred Fearnaught—Shakefpeare was also
got by the Old Imported Fearnaught, his
Grand Dam by Voltair, who was got by
Old Janus, on a full bred Mare the off

CLYTUS is supposed by good judges
in Virginia, and also in this State, to he
one of the firft running Horses on the
Continent ; he won four purses in Vir
ginia, contending with a number of the
heft horses in that State—also three purses
in this state, and has never yet been
brought to the whip; consequently his
speed is not yet known.

BEDFORD.
I 'x
THE celebrated Englilh Stallion BED
FORD, so famous for getting capital
racers, will Hand the ensuing season, at
Wade Hampton’s Plantation, near Co
lumbia, and be let to Mares at Fifty Dol
lars the fealon, and a dollar to his groom ;
the money to be paid in advance, or be
fore the Marcs are taken away The fea
foa will commence on the firft day of
February, and end the last of August.
The owners of such Mares as may not
prove in foal, will have another season
gratis, or thirty dollars returned. Exten
sive rye and oat pastures are provided
for mares gratis; and such as may have
young foals will have separate lots. * Cora
and oats furnilhed at the market price,
and mares regularly fed once or twice, a
day, agreeably to the direftions of their
owners; but as the pastures are so uncom
monly good, it. is presumed the expence of
grain will be a ufelels one, except for fucb
mares as may have young foals.
Bedford was bred by Lord Grofvener
and foalded in the year 179a. He is a
beautiful bay, sixteen hands high, highly
formed, and an uncommonly sure foal
getter.
He was got by Dungannon; his dam
Fairy, by High flyer; his grandam, Fairy
Qoeen, by Young Cade; his great gran
dam, Ruth’s Black-Eyes, by Crab; his
great great grandam, Worlock Galloway,
by the Curwen Bay Barb.
Dungannon, by Eclipse; his dam Af
pafia, by Herod ; his grandam Doris, by
Blank ; his great grandam, Helen, by Spec
tator; his great great grandam, Dappne,
by the Godolphin Arabian, Fox, Childers,
Makclefs, Taffolet Barb
Highflyer, by Herod ; his dam Rachel,
bv Blank ; her dam by Regulus, Soreheels,
Makelcfs, D’Arcy’s Royal Mare.
The great improvement in the breed of
horses in England for the last fifty years,
has been principally attributed to the
superior excellence of a few individuals
whose blood has given a new character to
the racing flock in that country. Os
these the Godolphin. Arabian, King
Herod, Eclipse, Matchim and Hvflyer,
stand at the head of the lift.
It is not thought extravagant, to claim
for Bedford, the fame rank of diftinftion
in the United States. It is believed no
horse in the world ever afforded so many
proofs of superiority as a foal getter, at
so early an age. The number of his get
that have distinguished themselves, is
uncommonly great for his time of life ;
and it is the more astonishing, when it is
taken into view that he has generally
flood, until the last two seasons, in some
one or other of the weftern counties of
Virginia, where there are few blood mares.
To prove that his get, in point of per
formance on the turf, stand pre-eminen
tly above any horses that ever appeared
in America, it will only be neceflary to
detail a few of their performances. But
it must be remembered that, until these, it
does not appear that any horse in America
ever ran a four mile heat within the eight
minutes.
The best performances that have been
published, are of Brimmer, Rosetta, Betsey
Baker, Shark, Commerce, Virago, Levia
than, &c. They have been from 8 m.
7 s. to Bm. 15 s. Some of the perfor
mances of Bedford’s get, are as follows:
Ariadne, at Fredericklburgh, in Oftober,
1801, with 3lbs. over her weight, ran a
4 mile heat in 7 m 52 s.
Gallatin, at Richmond, in October
1802, ran a 2 mile beat in 3m. 48 s- In
February, 1803, at Charleston, for the
second day’s Jockey Club Purse, he ran a
3 mile heat in 5 m. 53 s.
For the City Purse, 2 days after, be ran
the fame distance is 5 m. 52 s.
At Fredericklburgh, O&ober, 1803, f° r
the firft day’s Jockey Club purse, Cup
Bearer , 5 years old, ran the firft heat in
7 m. 56 s. and the second heat in 7. m.
5» s. This latter performance was en
graven by the judges on the winning post;
and the others are too well authenticated
to be doubted. Others of Bedford’s get
have given proofs of equal fleetnefs ; but
to enumerate them all would exceed the
bounds of an advertisement.
