wwi<i wmmm.v.ir POETICAL SELECTIONS- J.IXJiS TO A COXCOMB. BY MR. IIACKE r. BY the simper that smirks on your fat e, ,B\ the grin that exposes your teeth, The quick Soul of discernment can trace, That your mind's like a rude barren heath ! When your folly with wisdom would vie, And you boldly your nonsense declare, 11 y the envy that beams in your eye, I discover the foul and the bear ! When jour prattle begins to resound, And you chatter along with the fair; With such weakness your notions abound, That they torture the delicate ear! Tlio’ your figure he gracf fully deck’d ; Not the charms of the form but the mind, With the fair-one, can gain you respect ; Tho’ their nature be tender and kind! Then from polish’d society haste, And Hy to the regions of folly : For the charms of any elegant taste Prevail not with those who ar ? jolly ! 'Midst the herd you may bellow and sing, And be prais’d and admir’d for your notes; And be dubb’d, of tine singers, the king, With the sweetest and softest of throats!— When by bus’nets your ti;r \ engross’d, How you flutter and bustle about! Os your industry constantly boast. To preclude the least shadow of doubt! To discover the traits of your mind, To Lavater I need not apply; For your manners are rude as a hind, And your tongue’s ever tipt with a lie! DARI. YG EjYTKRPRIZE. DURINC the war which Henry the Fourth, of France, maintained against the League, wnen he was King of Na varre, many small towns, and even ci tadels, were surprised by very extraor dinary means. Amongst others, the following surprising atchievement, for fidelity in the adherents, as well as for the vigor and boldness of the adven ture, deserves particularly to be re corded : The manner in which Fcscamp was surprised is so remarkable, that it de serves a particular recital. When the fort was taken from the League by the Duke de Biron, in the garrison that was turned out of it, was a gentleman called Bois Rose, a man of sense and courage, who, making an exact obser vation of the place he had left, and hav ing concerted his scheme, contrived to get two soldiers, whom he had bound to his interest, to be received into the new garrison, which was put into Fes camp by the League. That side ot the fort next the sea, is a perpindicu lur rock, 600 feet high, the bottom of which, for about the height of twelve icet, is continually washed hy the sea, except four or live days in the year, during the utmost recess of the sea, when for the space of three or four hours, it leaves fifteen or twenty fa thoms of dry sand at the loot of the rock. Bois Rose, who found it impos sible, by any other way, to surprise a garrison who guarded with great care, a place lately taken, did not doubt of accomplishing his design, if he could enter by that side which was thought inaccessible; this he endeavoured by the following contrivance to perform: 4 He had agreed upon a signal with the two soldiers he had corrupted, and’ one of them waited continually for it on the top of the rock, where he posted himself during the whole time it was at low water. Bois Rose, taking the opportunity of a very dark night, came with fifty resolute men, chosen from among the sailors, in two large boats, to the foot of the rock. He had pro vided himself with a thick cable, equal in length to the. height of the rock, and, tying knots at equal distance, ran short sticks through to support them as they climbed. The soldier whom he had gained, having waited six months for the signal, no sooner perceived it, than he let down a cord from the top of the precipice, to which those below fasten ed the cable, by which means it was wound up to the top, and made fast to an opening in the battlement, with a strong crow run through an iron sta ple, made for that purpose. Bois Rose giving the lead to one of the sergeants, whose courage he was well convinced of, ordered the fifty soilders to mount the ladder in the same manner one af ter another, with their weapons tied round their w»i«ts, himself bringing up the rear, to take away all hope of re turning. which indeed soon became im possible, for, before they had ascended liair way. the sea rising more than six feet, carried of!" their bouts, and set their cables alloat. The impossibility of withdrawing fiotn a difficult enterprise is not always security against fear, when the danger appears almost inevitable. li the mind represent to itself these fifty men sus pended between Heaven and earth, in the midst of darkness, trusting their safety to a machine so insecure, that the least want of caution, the trcacheiy of a mercenary soldier, or the slightest fear, might precipitate them into the abyss of the sea, or dash them against the rocks; add to tiiis, the noise of the waves, the height of the rock, their weariness and exhausted spirits—it will not appear surprising that the boldest among them trembled, as in effect he who was foremost did; this Serjeant Jack telling the next man he could mount no higher, and that his heart failed him. 1 Jois Rose, to whom this discourse passed from mouth to mouth, and who perceived the truth of it, by their ad vancing no farther, crept over the bo dies of those that were b fore him, advis ing each to keep firm, and got up to the foremost, whose spirits he at first endeavored to animate ; but finding that gentleness would not prevail, he obliged him to mount, by pricking him in the back with his poignard, and doubtless if he had not obeyed him, lie would have precipitated him into the sea. At length, with incredi ble labor and fatigue, the whole troop got to the top of the rock, u little be fore the break of day, and were intro duced by the two soldiers into the cas tle, which they completely surprised, and gained possession of. From the London Magazine. A cure for the Rheumatic Rain and Deafness. Mr. Urban, St) simple a thing as brown pa- ; per has, from my knowledge, been so beneficial in several instances, that 1 am induced to request your inserting this in your useful Mtguzine. The countess of S , for a long time has recommended it w ith success. A Mrs. R , of Oxford-street, w as cured of rheumatic pains in a few days by wearing a waistcoat of brown paper, i Sir Win. I’. 1. was informed, applied • it by only covering the ears, and was cured of a deafness. Mr. K. Dawson, ' a druggist of Bath, by wearing a brown : paper night-cap under his ilannel night i cap, for a few weeks, was cured of a I deafness he had had for two years.— Mrs. Cross, the widow of an eminent upholsterer in Bath, had had what she i called a nervous deafness for more than 20 years, and had tried many things, was cured by wearing a brown paper night-cap six weeks. Sir Richard Jebb, : 1 have been informed, w'ore a piece of brown paper on his breast for 30 years, i which was of great benefit to him, as ■ he had the misfortune te inherit a con i stitutionally weak state of lungs; to . keep it on, it was sewed to a small rib i band, which hung round the neck. It ' has cured sore throats by being applied • round the neck, under the neckcloth. ‘ I could mention many more, who, by • putting a large piece of brown paper to i the part in pain, next the skin, and p i keeping it there for a few weeks, par : I ticularly by day (lor the brown paper . night-cap was not worn in the day) have ,found much relief, N after wearing flan nel with little or no effect. 4 : I have cured rheumatic pains in my arm by rubbing the part with the oth- ef- hand for a quarter of an hour , when | in bed, till I was in a glow of warmth. Many have used brown paper with little or no effect, it should also be observed. ANECDOTE. Os the great and constitutional judge, lord chief justice Holt. In the reign es queen Anne, in ITO 4, several freemen of the borough of Aylesburgh had been refused the liber ty ol voting at an election for a mem ber of parliament, though they' proved their qualifications as such. The law in this case imposes a fine on the return ing officer of 100©/ for every offence. On this principle they applied to lord chief justice Holt who desired the offi cer to be arrested. The House of com mons alarmed at this step, passed an order in the bouse to make it penal for either judge, counsel or attorney, to as sist at the trial. However, the lord chief justice, and several lawyers, were hardy enough to oppose this order, and brought it on in the court of King’s bench. The house, highly irritated at this contempt of their order, sent a Ser jeant at arms for the judge to appear be fore them ; but that resolute defender of the laws bade him, with a voice of au thority, begone ; on which they sent a second message Ly their speaker, ct tended by as many members as espous ed the measure. After the speaker had delivered the message, his lordship re plied to him in the following remarka ble words : “ Go back to your chair, Mr. Speaker, within these five minutes, or you may depend on it I will send you to Newgate : you speak of your authori ty, hut I tell you I sit here as an' inter preter of the laws, and a distributor of justice ; and were the whole house of commons in your belly, I would not stir one step.” The speaker was prudent enough to retire and the house were equally prudent to let the affair drop. And an independent judiciary was undeniably proven to be a public benefit of inestimable worth. ADVERTISEMENT EXTRA. G. S. Houston , & Co.
