STRANGE PEELINGS. NEAR. yonder cot upon the Moor, Whose grey smoke winds in many a curl— Knitting beside the cottage door, I met this morn t lovely gin. With many a tr.oioth damsel oft, I've rqnamler’d fooliflily ir.7 time, Play’d with her har.da and cheeks so foft, Or hitch'd them up in many a thyme. But when T turn'd s o gO a wary, My bosom felt no tickling pain. Ant! scarcely did l heat them fay,, l"d thank you, Sir to come again. But when I saw the lass fj fiir, Her floating eyes so blue and round, Its luftre I could no more bear, But b a Aiful look'd upon the ground. My jealous pride then'tonk alarm, Pace her, it wliifper'd o'er and o'er— Look up, the cannot d<> dice harm, Diet'd thou ne’er fee 1 girl before f Rous'd'from the dream, 1 rais'd my hat, And thought feme civil th'V.g to far 1 i. look’d—my heart Want p;tipaf, And glad was I to get away. Yet though I ‘mim'd from her fight, Ream wherefoe'er my footfteps will, That ftiU blue eye, that face so bright, Will haunt me like a fpedlre Jtili.

Mr. Barrow, a celebrated traveller, in a late ‘publication entitled a voyage to Gochincbraa , de clares, he is persuaded that it is owing to the con- j tinual teasing of mufquetoes, that America has j produced so few works of genius. Tt is incon. I ceivable, he o'oferves how any man can think tc 1 the purpose, with ‘fuch an odious creature eter nally humming in his ears ! Mr. Hare had apartments in the fame house ’♦nth Mr. Fox, and, like hi3 friend Charles, had trequent visits from bailiffs. One morning, as he was looking out of his window, he observed two of them at the door ;— u Pray gentlemen,” fays he, “ are you Foi hunting or Hare hunt ing this morning ?” Aster Mr. Boadep bad read his Aurelia and Miranda, in the Green Room of Drurylane The atre, he observed, that he knew nothing so tern able as reading a piece before such a critical audi ence. “ I know one thing much more terra ■ foie, “ said Mrs. Powel—“ What can that be !” said our author. “2b he obliged io lit and hear ti.” The famous purifier George A. Stevens, ow ing a friend fome money, plied him so plentiful ly with good Madeira, that his creditor gave up Lis note, and forgave him the debt. Stephens 1 called this his new method of LIQUID-ating: -‘debts. — j t o Dollars Reward ABSCONDED frommyyardthisnoofr / ing, without the fmall fiSr provocation, my Negro Fellow Isaac, svell known in this city To those who have no knowledge of him, the following aefeription of his person and ap pearance may be neceflary ; he is 26 years of age, about 5 feet 6 or 7 inches in height, wears his hair very nicely platted, is a great b e3ll io his dress, affefts to lofty carriage and strut, (peaks bad English, and Laving been owned by a Physician talks much of his knowledge cl medicine and largery ; he is a very likely fellow, tells an artful and plausible (lory, and has a auwn look when speaking or spoken to ; lie is an excellent house fsrvant, and pre tends to know a little ol every niechani ca) profefTion.
