And changed all to joy with th : bright smile of

JLove: And fondly with youth's pure and hallow'd devotion, Where the heart in its innocence, kneels at her shrine To the idol of Beauty with glowing emotion, I bowM and was b'eit, that her smiles were all mine. To man, a3 a guide, is Woman assign'd him To point out the path o'er life's troubled waves; Where the follies and passions of frail nature assail him, She's the angel of light, that his lost spirit

to let me ttay a little while in your kitchen? My lord has done me the honor to ask me to dine with him today; but as he is not yet come home, and I being an entire stranger to his lady and family, will thank you if you will give me leave to stay here till his return. Certainly, replied the cook,

you are very welcome, sir. After a minute or two's chat with the cook, at the solicitation of ills empty craving stomach, he began to give broad hints, that he should be glad of a mess of soup, or a mouthfull of any thing to

eat, in the mean time. 1 he cook, who was an odd kind of a humorous fellow, understood him well enough, but did not seem to do so; and therefore he thus diverted him immediatelv from

sir, as my dinner is now ready for dish

ing, t li shew you as much of it as 1 can, to amuse you till my lord comes in. With all my heart, replied the gentleman, any thing to divert time. And so away they went together, and ranged all the house over, where the doors were open for their passage: At last they came into a large old-fashioned room which was hung round with all sorts of arms; and where the cloth was

Remember remember aye, madam, you mast: I once was exceedingly stout and robust ; 1 rode by your palfry, I came at your call, And nightly went with you to banquet and to ball.

Not have me! Not love me! Rejected ! Refused ! Sure never was lover so strangely ill-used ! . Consider my presents (I don't mean to.boast.) But, madam, consider the money they cost !

charged the rery moment that my lord hears that you are gone. Half the servants know that you are in the house; and if any of them should mention my being seen with you, my lord will immediately conclude what I have done; and that it was through me you left the house before dinner; and therefore, sir, I beg you will not offer to go, on any account in the world. Indeed! said the gentleman, I beg your pardon; but it is in vain to solicit me on this head: For I do assure vou, 1 would not stay another minute in the house upon any account; and therefore, I will go

and get my horse this moment, lest he should come home before I can set away. Here just as the cook had begun

again his intreaties, they heard the horns at the Gate; and the cook was called to send up dinner as fast as he could ; so that now there was on retreat, for his lordship was no sooner alighted from his horse, than he enquired for his new guest; who being brought to him, for there was no way of avoiding it, after a few ceremonies, he was introduced to the lady of the family, &c.

And now dinner was served up, and all the company being seated everything proceeded with the usual decorum. But poor Meanwell could not put the cook's story out of his head; and therefore, he determined to do his utmost to avoid the impending danger.

First the lady helped him to a plate of soup, which he whipped up in a minute.

I hen his lordship, being at the lower

EAT OR FIGHT A STORY. Mr. Meanwell, a young gentleman of a good estate in the county of Devon, was very fond of hunting; and coming to live about a mile from Lord Treatwell's, who was lord of the manor, and kept a pack of very good hounds, the young 'Squire often gave him the meeting as soon as they were out in the morning. This Lord, to whom Mr. Meanwell was a stranger, being but just returned from his travels, observing him to take great delight in the sport, and seeing him well mounted, and a gentleman of an easy, genteel deportment, resolved to cultivate an acquaintance with him: Accordingly, the hounds being at fault, and the company all up together, his Lordship salutes him in the following manner. Good morrow to vou, sir; 1 per

ceive that you are a lover of this healthy sport, and often honor us with your company; I should be4very proud if you would also favor me in taking a hunting dinner with mc. 1 thank your lordship, replied the 'squire, and will do myself the honor to wait on you. Pray do, says my lord. We shall dine about three o'clock; and I shall expect the pleasure of your good company today. If any thing should happenthat should fling you out of the chase, or re should lose company, you know the hour, and the way to my house; and therefore, without further ceremonj-, I shall expect you. My lord, said the gentleman, I thank you ; I shall do myself the honor to wait on yon, without fail. After this, they pursued their sport together for some hours; but it happen-

uu mi. iutmnwea lost Ins company, and looking at his watch, found it to be almost two o'clock; and therefore determined to makethe best of his way immediately, to make good his engagement. And being very hungry, as goon as he had given his horse to one of my lord's servants, he desired to be directed to his lordship's kitchen; for, thinks he, being a stranger to all the family, but his lordship, and he being not returned; 1 will in the mean time make myself acquainted with the cook. Accordingly the servant, at his request carried him to the kitchen, where he saluted the cook as follows: Mr. Cook, your servant, will you do me the favor

laid for dinner. Here sir, says the cook, my lord always dines; and warrant would not eat a dinner, at home,

But plied. At last, the poor gentleman, then, I must own, sir, I should not wish not able to bear it any longer, jumped to be one of his guests.

Why, you must it; but he found the more pains he know, sir, quoth the cook, but pray do took, the more he might; and therenot mention a word that I have told fore he rather choose to fight, than enyou, for it is my lord's whimsical hu- deavour to eat any more, mour to expect that every person who At this,.the company were ail amadines with him, should eat all that he zed; and my lord, consequently, as or my lady cuts for them; and if any well as the rest.

upon, in one trick or other, by twenty. But I will discharge him for his impudence, this minute. Here said he to one of his servants bid the cook come here this moment! The cook immediately obeyed. Pray sir, said his lordship to him, how came you to tell this gentleman, that unless he cleared every plate, and eat up all that we helped him to, .that I should insist upon his fighting me that moment? My lord, replied the cook, I beg your lordship's 1 the gentleman's too; but

indeed 1 did it out of a very good design; for as he complained that he was very hungry, and being an entire stranger to the family, I was afraid that the nentlemais modesty might

spoil his dinner, and that then he might

have gone away and reported, that he had been at your lordship's table to dine, ai J had not half filled his belly, which would have been a discredit to your lo.dship. This answer, which was delivered with much seeming simplicity, made them al!4laugh heartily; but especially Mr. Meanwell, who was so well pleased with the joke, and especially as he now found there was no necessity of a battle, that he gave the cook a guinea for his humour, and also prevailed with

his lordship to forgive him. But they

were obliged to pursue all the cautious methods imaginable, with the poor young gentleman, to prevent a fit of illness succeeding; which danger was occasioned by his so prodigiously over-gorging his stomach.
