BACON. > THE adoption of another per- fon's fentiments and ideas, in pre¬ ference to our own, is a circum- ftance wrhich very rarely occurs. We aik indeed the advice of our friends,but always follow our own. Such is the opinion which the gen- erality of mankind have of their own underftanding. Myra, the lovely but inconiiderate Myra, thus acled : and when it was too late to adopt the counfels of her friends, exclaimed, < / zvijh I had!' Tho perform) cK-anrmrtQ <.yf Myid, rather than thofe of her mind, had captivated the hearts cf Alonzo and Ferdinand, two young men of family and fortune. The parents of the former, however, were fu- perior in point of fortune to the latter ; but whatever Ferdinand fuffered in comparifon on this fcore wh leave to inform the Public, that he has juft: received and has for fa'e, at the Store lately occupied by Mr. A.

DIml^' Cor" hcr difcarded lover, the unafltim- ing Ferdinand, refcued her from the impending danger, and deliv¬ ered her unhurt into the arms of her parents. It was now too late to repent the treatment fhe had given to his lionelt paffion—the pangs which he had fuffered from her difregard were more than compenfated in the affections of a virtuous wife. The fooliili Myra was left to la¬ ment her credulity to the profef- lions of one lover, and her ingrat¬ itude to the affections of another, and the only anfwer which fhe could now give to the remonftran- ces of her friends, was, ' 1 wi/h 1 had!9 ' HUMOR. I ABOUT half a century ag-o, was more than compenfated by the gifts which he inherited by nature. To an elegant pcrfon he joined the more attractive graces of the gen¬ tleman and the fcholan ' Indeed Myra had been heard to declare, that Ferdinand poffeffed the largeft fhare of her efteem ; but then A- lonzo was the richeft lover, and it was at this point her affections centred, . Believe me, Myra, faid a female confidant, that Alonzo merits not the partiality which you fliew him. Ferdinand, whom you affect, to difdain, though I am confident you love him in your neart, is far more worthy of your regard ; and your union with him I am perfuaded, would be attended with the moil confummate felicity, Pfha, replied Myra ; do you think me fo weak as to indulge a childifh fondnefs, and prefer mer¬ it and the humble Ferdinand to the alluring fmiles of fortune, and the gallant Alonzo ? But do you think Alonzo re¬ turns your partiality ? Does he love you with that purity which fighs to call you wife ? O no ! I fear his paffion is of the voluptu¬ ous kind ; kindled by the brillian¬ cy of beauty ; and like it, toofuf- ceptible of decay. Regardlefs of the admonitions' of her friend, Myra itill treated the honeft paffion of Ferdinand with indifference, and laviJhed on the Uifling and unmeaning Alon- College hours. hi- 1: n it was more in fafhion to drink ale at Oxford than at pre- fent, an humorous fellow of pun¬ ning memory eftablifhed an ale- houfe near the Pound, and wrote over his door " Ale fold here by the pound " As his lie was as good as his jokes, the Oxonians reforted to his houfe in s;reat numbers, and fometimes ftaid there beyond the This was matter of complaint to the Vice-Chancel¬ lor, who was defired to take away s licence. The punfter was fum- moned to attend. When he came to the Vice-Chancellor's prefence, he began hawking and fpitting a- bout the room : This the Vice- Chancellor obferved, and afked what he-meant by it? " Pleafe your w^f\e'p," faid he, " I came here cm' purpofe to clear my/elf.'9 The Vice-Chancellor (who imagin¬ ed that he actually weighed his ale and fold it in that manner) faid to him, " They tell me that you fell ale by the pound ; is that "No, an't pleafe your worihip," replied the wit. " How do you then ?" " Very well, I thank you, fir—how do you do ?" replied he.
