*•• POE T R Y. .-V - FOK THF KINGSTON GAZETTE. A PASTORAL TO TJIK HBO iriLL UXDl'.RSTAND IT. MY love fhe is charming and fair, She i* fweetcr than tofes in May, She has Venus's face and her air, As the laughing Thalia flie'a gay. Her bofom's the heaven of delight* Her heart is the manikin of love, Her eyes than the fta.s are more bright; Her innocence that of the dove. The hue of the cherry her lips, The oaks of Ambroiia her breath, The Queen of good nature Ine trips,— Offend her—her frowns they are death. WftUa countenance gay, yet ferene, With manners moft foothiogly mild, In dignity—fhe moves a queen* In iimplicity---ilie is a child. When I graze on her heavenly elnrrhs, Or that face that's fa fweetly benign, My bofom is filPd with alarms That, alas i /he will never be mine. .UCANDER, v t The followingverfes arc founded on the (lo¬ ry oi* an Enaliih gentleman and lady,who were on their paffage to the Eaft Indies, in one of the veffeJs of an Englfffr fleet. For fome particular reafon they left the tclcl, and went on board the admiral's fhip, leaving two young chtldi en In the care or a negro lervant, about 18 years of age. In a violent florin the fhip containing the two children was fad linking, when a boat arrived from the admiral's fhip for their relief. The drew eagerly crowded to the boat, but the negro lad rinding there was only room for himfelf alone, or the two' children, generoufly put them on board, and remained himfelf on the wreck, whieb, with the generous boy, was immediately engulphed in the ocean. 1 TREMENDOUS howls the angry blafl ! The bolder! hearts with terror quake ! High o'er the veilel's tottering male The liquid mountains fiercely break ! Each eye is hVd in wild defpair, And deatii difphys his terrors there J Now plunging in the dread abyfs, They pierce the bofom of the deep, Now rife, where vivid lightnings hils, And ieem the murky clouds to fwecp ^ Thro' the dark walle dread thunders roll, And horrors chill the 'fnVhted foul I See on the deck young Marco Hand, (Two blooming cbeiubs by his fide, Entiuded to his faithful hands ; " A mother's joy, a father's pride*')- Tho' black his skin as fliades of night, His heart is fair—his soul is white. Each to the yaw] with raptuie flies, Except the noble generous boy : " Go} lovely infants go," he cries, , *' And give your anxious parents joy ;• ** No mother will for Marco weep, " When fate entombs him in the deep] "Long have my kindred eeas'd to grieve, " No filler kind my fate thall mourn " No bread tor mt a ding will have, " No bofom friend weh my return !" He fafd—and finking fought the happy more Where toil and davery vex his foul no more. DIVERSITY. Something Thiv ! J ! MESSRS. PRINTERS, f^fc* I ENCLOSE for your perufal, and for your publication, if you think proper, the following copy of a letter, written by a per- fon who propofed opening a fchool not far from my refidence ; as he was obliged to de¬ cline for want of fuitable encouragement, it may feem to evidence the little patronagt af¬ forded in a frontier country to men of genius and learning. ■ HAVEN been ofFen and frequently foli- ce^ed to open a fkcol in this naburhood and haven a promis of haven a knonfiderable num¬ ber of flvollars fent me at a good rate which it cannot be expected that I mould devoat my time and talents without reefonabel com- penfafnun to be receaved which I have no doubt you will approve.

T "Was a queftion which occurred to my mind, lately on viewing this holy book ; in one fenfe it is of but fmall value ; only fix {hillings did I give for it.—When I con Od¬ er the workmanfhip—the ncatnefs of the binding, I could not but admire the manu¬ facture, and did not grudge the price. — But this anfwer was not iufikient, the queftron flill continues— " What is my Bible worth ?" When 1 confider that it contains the moft ancient and beautiful hiflory of Kings and Prophets, and remarkable events—the word of the fweet Pfalmifc of Ifrael—the pious in- fliuctions of Solomon—the prophecies of holy men of God—the Gofpel of C brill, and the way of Salvation by Him, and the fweet doctrines of the ApofUes—O ! the worth of it is beyond companion—Nothing on earth can compare with it. Thsfcriptures are able to maki thee wife unto fal'Datim ilirmt^mf^am in Chrpl jftfiu% faith Paul ; and do thing but Heaven can equal the worth of thefe divine writings. Mrs. P/ozzi, one evening, reading in her Cloftt, the candleltick fuddenly Miinped off the table, a hifTrng fire ran along the floor, and after a fhort time left a piece of paper in a flame, which with her foot, to prevent mifchief, ilis put into the fire-place. She then fat down without any light, to confid¬ er what could pofllbly occafion this event. Sh-e knew all the doors and windows were fa ft, and that any thing fhould come down the chimney, and flrike the candle off the table in that ft range manner, was akogerher impofhblc. After fhe had wearied herfelf with re/feCting to no purpofe, (he rang the bell. When the fervant was told what had happened, he begged her pardon for having by miftake given her a mould candle with a gurpowder fquib in it, which was to make iome lport among the fervantsou a rejoicing day. Mrs. Piozzi, with much good humor, dcilred him not to make himfelf uneafy ? all the coiKiern fhe had received was- fom not being able to difcover the occafion of the ac¬ cident. From how many incidents, much more trifling, have jrhofts and prodigies been handed down to poiterity. AT the time that James II. was making his tour through England to receive the hom¬ age of his fubjecis, the Mayor and corpora¬ tion of a fmall town through which he paf- fed, were deputed to compliment him on his arrival. As the Mayor was noted for a moft impenetrable thicknefs of fcull, the Record¬ er undertook to prompt him in his Speech. When they arrived in the Royal prefence,- the Recorder, obferving the bafliiul and fn.eepi.1v appearance of his Lorditiip, whif- ptred to him, " Bold up your head ; look like a Man," The unfortunate Mayor, half dead with fear, fuppofed this the beginning of the Speech, and bawled out to' his Majefty— * * Hold up your I end—boh like a man." The Recorder immediately rejoined, 4< What the d—i do you mean—By G—d, you will ruin us all/' " What the d—l do you mean—By' G—dy you will ruin us all," repeated the of¬ ficial Speechifier. " Oh I you flupid block¬ head—I wijjj you l^ad never come here1*—laid the terrified and- irritated prompter—the Mayor, as in duty bound, immediately ech¬ oed to the amazed monarch—" Oh I youflu- ped blackhead— I wi/hy$u had never come btre." The Recorder inftantly took to his heels, followed by the lucRlefs Mayor, leaving the King and )m cow tier* in a convulfion of laughter. INGLTSH AGIL1TV. ; IN the great Dutch war in the reign of Charles II. the Engli.1i fleet and that of Holland fought in the channel for three days fucceflivelr, engaging in the day and laying to at night. But Jul* as they were prepar¬ ing to renew the adtion, advice came oil that an armiiHee was concluded upon, and the hofiile pa.ties began to exercile mutual ci¬ vilities. On board a Dutch man of war which lav long-fide of an Engliih firft rate was a faiior fo remarkably a/hvc, as to run to the maft-head and Hand upright upon the truck, after which he would cut feveral ca¬ pers, and concluded with ftandlng upon his head, to the great aftonifhment and terror of fpectators. On coming down' from his ex- ploir, all his countrymen exprefled their joy by huzzaing, and thereby fignifying their triumph over the Engliih. One of our bold tars, piqued for the honor of his country, ran up to the top like a cat, and effayed with all his might to throw up his heels like the Dutchman, and not having the ildll, he miffed his poife, and come down rather fad¬ er than he Went up. The rigging, howev¬ er, broke his fall, and he lighted on his feet unhurt. As foon as he had recoveied his fpeech, he ran to the fiVIe and exultingly cried out to the Dutchman, " There d—m tour eyes, do that if you can." & . J Cheap Goods. S.
