A Monkey ufed the pencil ; as a ftricl obferver of nature, he drew the animals with a mor't fcrupu- Idus refemblance. To the horfe he gave his free and noble bound, to the bear his clumfmefs, to the tiger his ferocious countenance, to the afs his length of ears. 'Die carniverous animals, difpleafed with their pictures, not only re¬ fund to pay him, but he was obli¬ ged to fcreen himielf from their refentmeut.

DIVERSITY. CAMILI/US. ONE of lhe moil extraordina¬ ry inihnces of public honor, and which deferves to be recorded in indelible characters, is the follow¬ ing, which Plutarch relates in the fife of Camillus ; and as it tends to Sfive the mind a generous turn, and to vaife it above every thing mean and felfifh, we imagine it may nut be unacceptable to our readers. it is not pruoent 10 refemblance of thofe proud anim¬ als ? No—they wifh to be Matter¬ ed, and then they will pay well/' The Fox mixed his colors on a different pallet. Notwithstanding the lion's dreadful mane, lie crave him a fofmefs of countenance ; he contracted his wide mouth, nay, he almoft made his roaring rnaief- ty appear to urate. The leopard had no longer the cruel ianguine eye in his drawing—the bear be¬ came delicate ; the pig had a light fliape ; the wolf fecmed gentle ; the birds of prey no longer had crooked beaks and iharp talons. In confequence, thole haughty animals, charmed with their new forms, gave a patent and a penfion. A certain Cardinal was fo afflicted with a quinfey that he was almoft choaked, and the A yonng farmer vas invited to d;:-e for the Brft time with bis landlord, who was a very bofpitabte man—irhen he entered the drawhig-roam, a w:;^ .old him, that if he did not t-at. a!1 that \m landlord gave him, ho mull immediately fight him—the cloth was laid, and the partes began ; the hod. bei^* polite, was vi-iy attentive to their coarfg gncll, and filled his plate repeatedly, ail which the farmer devoured with lomc labor ; at lafl, the inviter Was in the v.di of potting a large flice of pudding upon the farmer's plate, when he ftarted from his feat—threw down his knife and fork, and began to dn'o 111 bait9 and'put himfelf in an attitude of de¬ fence,vociferoufly roaving, " dom mi, come on, for I'll fooner fight till L die, than eat till I die." SCOTS WARMING PAT?.

On going to his bed room, he was furprifed who was literaliy a DiomJo's wife ; he ;iL- ed her what /he was doing there, to which the girl, with all her native fimplicity, an- fwered, that me was warming- tlie b(.d as his h'»nor had deiired, until he Ihonld be ready to get into it. Lovd«npap. -. ' «- . , \ t% diieafe n<jt beinor conquerable by medicines, Camillus, a celebrated Roman hfs ^jixchm left him as mcurable. His general, was engaged in the liecre of Valerii, a town in Italy, which refilled to acknowledge the Ro- man power. He had long befieg- ed it, and ftili met with a visorous <*» • oppolition. It was the cuftom of the Valerians to educate their chil- fervants minutely expecting his death, feil to plundering his lodgings, taking the hang¬ ings, pictures, ftatues, carpets, cumiono, and even his Tobes, while he looked upon them, but could not reprove them, being unable to fpeak, The Cardinal had an ape, whu fee¬ ing all his houfe-mates providing for them- felves, he thought to come in for his (hare in the dividend, and entering the chamber, employed himielf very bufily to fes what was Spi dren at a public ichool, in order to inlpiretliem with patriotic prin- Mt for him . and finding-nothJng blIt lhe Ciples, and tO give them a Warm- Cardinal's cap, he clapped it on' his head, er attachment to the ilate.—Thefe children were put under the care of a malter, who had fupreme au¬ thority over them, and againft whole decifion they durft not ftruggle.—This villain conceived one of the bftfeft and moll treach¬ erous fchemes that ever entered in¬ to the^ heart of man ; he carried the children without the walls of the city, on purpofe, as he preten¬ ded, to give them the air, and uied regularly for fome time to return with them ; but at laft, when he Imagined all fulpicion of his treach¬ ery was removed, lie carried them and trifked up and down, as extremely plea fed with his new promotion, at which the expiring Cardinal fell into a very vehement fit of laughter, which broke the quinfey in his throat, and having difcharged it by vom¬ iting, recovered his health, and after that his ilolen goods.
