WtXty from Coleman's new series of Bread Grins. ■ » * THE PICTURE. OM men young women wed, by way of nurse?; Youngmeo old women, jus* to fill their purees ; Jior \oting; men only—for *lis m> belief, Nor do I think the metaphor a bold otic, When folks in life turnover anew UaJ\ Why very few would grumble at a got& one. A worthy Knight, 'yclept Sir Peter Pickle, By love was made to look exceeding glutnpv; The maid whose charms had power his heart to tickle. Was Mi>s Cordelia Carolina Grumpy I < To 13said Sir Peter, was as you shall hear. Although a Knight, a» poor as any poet; B" liaud-omeas Apollo Beivideie. And vain Sir Peter seem'd full well to know it. No wonder, then, that Miss Cordelia Crumpy, Could not, onmov'd, hear such a lover sue ; Sweet,sympathetic maiden, fat and stumpy ; Grecu ey'd, red nair'd.acrd tuvn'd of sixty-two. But tell me, muse, what charm it was could tick¬ le Tfieonce invincible Sir P.-M^r Pickle? Wa* it her eves, 4hat, «o attaciied to one day, Lo(i*'dpinu-ly seven ditlcrent wayfifor Sunday ? Was it her hump, :ha* had a camel suited ! H?r left leg handy ?—or her right club footed ? 2So, gentle friend*: although such beauties might Havmwarm'd the bosom of an anchorite, The charm -hat made our Kmgiu all milk and honey. Was that itilallible specific—money ! Peter, whom want of brass, had made more bra¬ zen, In moving terms began his love to blazon; Sigh after sigliin quick succession rushes. Nor are the tabor of hi*-lungs in vain ; Her cheek soon crimsons with consenting blir.-h- Red a* acuimney top just after rain ! The license bought, he marries her in haste, Brings home hia bride, and give* his friends a ga> day ; AH his relations, wondYingat his ta*te, \ owd he had bevterhad the Pig-fac'd Lady !

And queation'd him about the matter closely. ** What spell could into such a hobble throw \ou?" " Just nep up stairs, says Peter* and I will shoiv you." Vp stairs they went—"There, there's her pic¬ ture ! say 1- it not like her. Sir ? your judgment, pray"— 14 Like her.

Sir, I have very lately examined a Sheep-cot crefted on the farm of Collium, (ituated near the PentUnd hills, and belonging to Michael Linning, Elq. which 1 humbly think delervea the notice of fheep farmers. It is in the outfi.le a fquare of 22 yards, with obtufe comers. There is an open court in the middle of this building of to yard)* iquare. The reft of it is covered with at batched roof. The building is of ftone and lime-mortar. The outfide wall is j Feet high But the inner wall enclo- fiag tie court is 10 feet high, for the purpole of throwing themoft of the eaves¬ dropping of the roof to the outfide, in O'der that the inner court may be kept as d;y s p fiible. Therein one outer door 5 feel high by 3 feet wide ; and four doors opening from the covered to the open area. This ci is placed on the declivity of a gravelly rifing ground, and feems well calculated for fuch a dry fituation. Gn a neighbouring farm, I examined a ftvcp cot of the fame kind on a fmaller fcale, and built in a much flighter manner. It is Iquare, each fide being 12 yards in length, and theopen Court in the in¬ side is 6 yards iquare. It coft .£20 The defc&gofit are, the roof throws one half of the eaves-drop* into the open court in the middle ; & moreover, the cot U ere&ed on a foftwet foil. I therefore cannot recom¬ mend this fhcep-cot. 1 have alfo feen a fheep-cct of another fort, being an oblong houle 60 feet long by :e feet wide, all covered with a roof of rufhes* fituated on a farm belonging to Mr- White of Dykehead- in the parifh of Carnwath, and county of Lanark. He tetti me it coft about £12 ; and was calculated by him to contain about 12 fcores of (heep under its roof, without counting the numbers that may be flultered about it. This plan feems better adapted for wet grounds, than that which has an open on paved court. Here permit me to add a few words in favour of thr modern improvement of p cois. Experience has ftiown, that thev are beneficial to the flock ; for none that have tried them have ever given them «jpt and they are daily increasing in numbers. T»ii* it worth a thouf^nd fpeculative argu- ir lit* on cithe- side of the quefliori. I have heard it argued, that the wool of fheep it deteriorated by their lying in fheep cots: But are nor Spauifh fheep that have the bef* wool of any, confined to fticcpcuta, and fed with hay all winter I Further, it is argued, that fuch indul¬ gence mikes flicep lazy; and that, like loungers in warm beds, they are indolent *id unwilling to exert themfelves to procure their food. In anfwer to this I may obferve, that no loungers are fo indolent as to allow themfelves to die for cant of food, when they can have it for he taking. The appetite for food, is in lnimals paramount to every indulgence, & in fheep it ia peculiarly ftrong. If they have once found the way to turnipsforanyother favourite food, not even the fear of death will prevent their refolution to try it again. But fheep fhould have plenty of hay af¬ forded them in winter ; and the more they lie in the hoofe the more manure they make. If hay cann6t be given, dill there is no fear of their letting themfelves die for hunger, if green food can begot any where, even at a dillance; and lit rely it muft be of vaft advantage to the health of every animal, without the exception of fheep, to reft in a dry and warm place, as well as to have plenty of meat. Upon the whole, it is mod obvious, that fhetp-cots and their concomitants, hay-(lacks and manure, are a great im¬ provement on the (heep hufbandry of the mountainous and unimproved diftrids of Great Britain. N. J. Short Courtships and happjj Marria¬ ges.— It is well known th.it there are li- vingin Trinidad a number of free ne¬ groes, brought off (how justly we do not inquire) from the American coast during the late war by Sir Alexander Cochrane, and who let themselves out for hire, like the free labourers of any other country: but these persons being men and bache¬ lors, a Sabine war was apprehended in the island. It happened, fortunately; thai iu the last year n slave ship was cap¬ tured, containing onh young girls, from Hi to 20 vears of age : and Ihesebecom- mg free by the existing abolition laws, were sent to Tiinid. d, and being placed utiuV't* [fllv ciruuivy ulr uY*civ«*C iimnou:*, the American negroes were invited to see them, and a small portion of land offered to each who should marry.------The pro¬ posal was highly agreeable to the men, nor did these young ladies of landed pro¬ perty give themselves the airs which are sometimes observable in those who have that enviable possession in this country. The courtship was brief and sentimental: ••111 have that little girl," .-ays one oftbe wooers :—■* IMI have that tall one," says another; and thus the whole were be¬ trothed.------When the day of marriage arrived, which was deferred at lea^t twen¬ ty four hours, in consideration of the feel¬ ings of the ladies, it happened somewhat unluckily that some of rhem had slipped (heir collars, and the enamoured bride¬ grooms were unable (o distinguish their respective charmers-. The ceremony* however, proceeded. The clergyman wasaboutto make short work of it, by requiring M these men" to fake " these women" to be their "Wedded wives ;" but the governor, Sir It. Woodforde, compelled him to marry each couple sep¬ arately.—The ceremonies lasted about lour hours, during which time some of the Bridegrooms recollected tke objects of their lores, and discovered that others hud married them. The die was, how- eoer, cast, and the exchanges made itotir unhappy. A gentleman lately arrived from the island, who communicated the above fact, says, that he saw them fre¬ quently, several mouths aftprwards, all apparently very happy and contented with their lot, and most of the ladies looking " as ladies wish to look who love their lords."-—London Courier. • FRANK HALS. This celebrated painter, who wasborn at Alaliue- in 158 4, and was inferior on¬ ly to Van Dyk in the delicacy of his co¬ louring, was much addicted to wine, and was intoxicated almost every evening. When he had been carried home on the shoulders of his scholars- and laid on his bed, he commonly began to pray with a loud voice : "0, Lord ! take me peace¬ ably into tb» kingdom of heavenly joy ! O, Lord ! take me to Thee, that I may pray as a redeemed sinner before thy throne !" &c One evening, his schol¬ ars, among whom wa> the ingeniou A- brahani Brower, resolvd to play him a trick, and made the necessary prepara¬ tions. When tfals began his usual ejac¬ ulations, he suddenly felt himself slowly raised up, as if the journey to heaven was commencing. This seemed to him rather serious, and he began to protest in the drollest manner—" Stop ! stop! do you think I am in such a hurrv? Xot at all ! I can very well remain ovre a little longer. Come again fifty years hence, if you please, but at present it does not suit me at all." The young rogues put n 11 end to the joke, and Hals feil asleep quire contented ; but he was never af¬ terwards known to utter his ejaculations as before. ANECDOTE OF DR. IIERSCIIEL. One morning a countryman knocked at his door, and requested the favour of a few words *vith him ; he went out to the hall, when the couutryman said to him, 44 I ask pardon, Doctor^ for disturbing you; but I am quite in a quandary, as the saying is, and so I made free to call and ask your advice : jou must know my meadows aiv a great deal too long of cutting, but before 1 be^in I should like to know whether you think the weather will soon lake up f*' M First look round you," said the Doctor, " and tell me what you see." u See," replied the oth¬ er, " why hay that is not worth the sa- ving; what blunderhead owns it. thai lives so nraryou, and cuts it without asking your advice ?M " I own it/'stid the Doctor, '"and hod it imp! she very dn before th'J rain came cu."
