jfe: J'j Court of Afiollo. ft ~p <• SUMMER EVENING. From the Poems cf the late Mr, Richard Bingham Davis, recently published at N. Tork. ZI.IZ A, vitw tlii* p'acid scene, Wh*re evening (bed* her silver smile-j Calm Solitary, and serene, Her*! cl u> rove and muse awhile. Behold the gentle waving-free* That turn to zephyr’s lafl embrace ; While on the llowly pading I>rceze JVlild nurfic frnrn* with foften’d grace. Sweetly repeated through the grove, Refponfire, hark, the night birds caW, Chiming theirfylvan note* of lore, To the low murmuring water fall. How lovely is the gentle rill, Ijy.the fond, fportivr moon heami kift; The mead—the wood—the distant hill, High crown’d with evening’* dewy inifU Here meditation loves to tread. And fancy here delights to (tray; And leaving oft the flothlul lied, Here genms wait* the riling day. Though charming the romantic feent, Whether at morning’*radiant hour, Or when the evening flar serene Sheds on the earth it* dewy power , In vain the landfeape, gay and bright. Extend* its varying o<antics far; hi vain the amorous bird* of night Salute the evening’* twinkling flar. UnlciT, Ecu*, thou art there, These plexfures bring no joy to me ; And when thepurefl hlilTl (hare, I love to think, ’twn (lured with the*. CREDULITY* j The people in Province in France, were formerly re- ; xnarkabiy given 10 believe and i report (h tinge and surprising 1 tales. About forty years ago, as the story goes, a,ne of the inhabitants of the place went to the famous town of Toulop on business. and rtflefting on bis return, of the disposition of his countrymen to believe and re’ port ffrange news, he thought of a (theme to lurprife them. Accordingly when men afkcd for news, lie reported, that a tree had jull grown up in the mouth o( the harbor of Tou. lon, so biabtnd ltrong, with branches from tide to fide, (o thick and difficult to be removed that the royal navy could neither pals in, or go out of the ha? bor and there was a great probability of the finrbor’s being ruined by it.. The reporter being delayed by bufiinels on his journey home, the report got a head of him, and be beaid it told so often, that he entirely forgot that he was the author of ii, and be gan to credit the story ; nor cqmld bereft fatLfied till he went all the way back to Tou lon, to fatisfy himlelf whether the llory was true or falfe. This llorv the writer had from a Frenchman, a respecta ble inhabitant of Toulon, of the name of Euback, in the year 1780. HISTORICAL. C R U E L T V. Com modus, the Roman em peror, when hut twelve years old, gave a {hocking mltance of his cruelty at Ceritumcella, now called Civiti Vecchia, when (stiding the water in which he bathed lome what too warm, he commanded the per ion whu attended the bath to be thrown into the furnance: nor was he fatisficd till thole who were about him pretended to have ■put his order in execution. After his acccftioii to (he em pire, he equalled, if he did not exceed in cruelty, Caligula, Domitian, and even Nero him felf; playing, wc may fay. with the blood of hi> Mbjecls and fellow creatures, of whom he can led great numbers to be racked and butchered in his prcfencc, merely for his diver r fiori. Seeing one day a corpu lent man pals by, he immedi* ately cut him alitnder; partly to try his (Length, in which he excelled all men, and partly out of curiosity, as himfelf owned, to fee his entrails drop out t once. Some he mur r dered becaufethey were negli” j gently drdTed; others because j they seemed trimmed with too much nicety. He assumed the i name and habit of Hercules, ; appearing publicly in a lion’s : skin, with a huge club in his j hand, and ordering several per- j lons though not guilty of any l crimes, to be disguised like inonlters, that by knocking out their brains he might have a better claim to the title, the 1 great deftrover of monffers. j In fhortjthe flieddingof blood | seemed to be his chief diver’ 1 fion. I Seme years since, maleXaih- j ions of jackets and neckcloths j prevailed among the females, i but the ladies have since deter mined to differ ftotn the gen tlemen as much as poflible— therefore, while our Beaus car ry their hands in their pockets, our Belles carry their pockets in their hands. * Sheriff’s Sales, On the First Tuesday in June next, WILL BE SOLD, At the c.ourt-house in the city <y Savannah, between the hours of 10 and 3 o'clock, ALL those buildings and improvements, on the N.
