NUTTING.
A much admired song, as sung by Mrs. Moun
tain, at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden.
AUTUMN shews the careful swain
’Tis time unto the golden grain,
The sickle to be putting;
And gaily in the hazel shades,
See all the village men and ma ; ds,
Each ev'ning a Nutting.
A Nutting, GT c.
" Dear, dear!” cries aged Tabatha,
“ Where can the girls be gone to-day ?
“ 1 cannot keep my slut in ;
11 Let me say whatsoe’er I will,
•• Behold the spinning-wheel stands still,
•* ’Tis all the plaguy Nutting?”
This Nutting, ifc.
“ Zounds !” quoth the farmer, " where is Dick
“ The night is coming on us quick,
“ ’Tis time the Sheep were shut in;
“ But I must fold ’em I suppose,
‘‘ While this young idle rascal goes
With Margery a Nutting.”
A Nutting, Lc.
“ But Polly’s pocke f full betrays,
“ And what is that” her mother says
“ On either side so jutting?
“ ’Tis no use hussy to deny—
“ Or tiil in vain a wicked lie,
“ You know you’ve been a Nutting.”
A Nutting, (Jfc,
In winter, round the cheering fire,
At eve the villagers retire,
Content some humble hut in ;
And crack their Nuts and reckon o’er,
How many months will be before,
Again the time of Nutting.

Singular Military Hpftcarance !
At Portland, in the district of Maine,
lieutenant Ingraham was lately tried
by a Court-Martial for punishing one
Noah Harding, a private in his com
pany, !:y taking his arms and accou
trements from him, putting him under
guard, marching him thro’ the town,
and placing him in public view on a
Wooden Horse erected for the Pur
pose, See....ln the lieutenant’s defence
before the Court, aft r detailing a num
ber of provocations given by the said
Noah Harding, he thus describes Har
ding's ludicrous appearance in the ranks
'on the parade :....
“ It is fully proved by the testimony
that in pursuance of previous threats
made as public as possible, Noah Har
ding, the complainant, did appear on
parade, on the said muster day, in a
dress that could not fail to excite pub
lic ridicule and derision, and which was
intended and stupidly belirred by him to
throw odium and contempt upon the
company to which he belongs, and on
his proper officers. It is fully proved
by the same witnesses, that he appear
ed wearing a pair of spectacles of an
unusual size and appearance, fastened
round his head with black ribbon or
some!liing resembling it, and it fully
appears that spectacles of any kind are
not usually worn by him, neither were
they such as could assist or relieve the
sight of any person to whom specta
cles might be necessary....and it is ve
ry apparent that those were not intend
ed for any such purpose, but were pro
cured not to relieve the sight, and could
be only fit to decorate the forehead of
Noah Harding; that he wore a straw
hat with a yellow band procured for the
occasion....that over a white neck hand
kerchief of the usual kind, he wore a
bandanna handkerchief, so called, twist
ed up to the resemblance of a cord
that he wore three waistcoats of unu
sual and unequal lengths, all of different
colors, in such a manner as to expose
them to view as much as possible; and
to render his appearance still more ri
diculous and contemptible each waist
coat was confined with only one or two
buttons at the breast, so that they might
be easily blown about by the wind
that having either very long suspenders
or none at all, his pantaloons filled up
his boots so as to make his appearance
awkward beyond description....and had
it not been for !he length of his waist
coats he must have exhibited at his
waistband an appearance exceedingly
indecent it not obscene. His canteen
was very awkwardly hung upon him
with a profusion of what is called qual
ity binding, which further decorated his
dress with long strings or bows.... His
b"ots had been kept for a number of
Weeks in his cellar, in order to contract
a mould which might render them a
suitable addition tb the other parts of
his dress....he carried what he called a
knapsack, but which was rather a bag,
or pack of unusual size whimsically
painted and marked No. 1....in which
was a very large salt fish selected on
account of its size from a pile of ten
quintals, so large that the tail of the
fish appeared above his shoulders out
of the mouth of the bag,” Sec. &c.
