TO A FISH OF THE BROOK.
From Peter Pindar’s “ New Old Ballads.”
0
IVHY feest thou away with fear?
Trust me there’s nought of danger near}
I have no wicked hook,
All cover'd with a snaring bait,
Alas ! to tempt thee to thy fate ,
And drag thee from the brook.
O harmless tenant of the food :
1 do not wish to spill thy blood ;
For nature unto thee ,
Perchance, hath giv*n a tender wife,
And children dear to charm thy life,
As she hath done for me.
Enjoy thy streams, O harmless ssh !
And when an angler , for his dish ,
Through gluttony's vile sin ,
Attcmfit —a wretch—to /mil thee out,
God give thee strength , 0 gentle trout ?
To Jmil the rascal in.
From the ( Missau) Royal Gazette.
Prices Current at St. Eustatia.
May 15, 1306.
Good JVames —Very scarce—2oo w ill
have quick sale at from 5 to 800 dol
lars. Some honest gentlemen will en
gage to take one monthly.
Genuine Courage is worth from 8 to
14 dollars a gill. A quantity for ex
portation will be wanted. At St. Kitts
it will command any price, as the
quantum they had there evaporated
and went off in a strange way on the
appearance of the Rochefort squadron.
Honor and Honesty —of no value.
False Oaths in demand , say 2s. each.
Self Consequence, we are over stock
with.
Hos/iitality , much wanted. At one
of the neighboring islands (St. Kitt’s)
it is scarcely known.
Promises —Dog cheap.
Performances —Very scarce.
Credit —Died last Wednesday.
Merit —No recommendation.
Gratitude —Quite out of fashion.
Duplicity —Much in vogue.
JJypocricy —We are glutted with.
ANECDOTES.
A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS.
The criminal executioner, common
ly called Jack Ketch , was lately sum
moned to the court of request by the
landlord of a public house in the Old
Bailey, for a beer score; and on being
asked how he could pay it, the fellow
sc rat lied his head and replied, thatAu
sincss was very bad of late, they hav
ing sent so money of his customers to
Botany Bay ; and really he could not
say how lie could pay it: but if so be
as how the gentleman pleased, he had
no objection to work it out for him or
any of las family.
On a passage to Jamaica, a boy who
was amusing himself with a fife, sitt
ing on the gun-wale, by a sudden roll
©1 the ship fell overboard, and was di
rectly swallowed by a shark : A hook
was immediately baited with a piece
of beef, and thrown over the stern,
which was seized by the shark, and he
was presently hauled on board. On
opening him the boy was found snugly
seated between two ribs, and uncon
cerned, playing a tune on his fife !!
A Clergyman remarkable for preach
ing many Sundays from one text had
nearly run through the year from these
words, Simon's wife’s mother lay sick of
a fever. The church bell tolled early
one morning. Mr. Minister dispatch
ed a servant to enquire who was dead.
The Sexton pretended ignorance, but
returned for answer, “ That he believ
ed it was Simon’s wife's mother , as she
had been sick for a long time.”
