Bear 'liitha, will you be my wife? Said Giles with ogling eye She fumbled with her apron-string,

And said, I'll see byand-bye.

Yet can I love that wrinkled phiz, When men I ever hate And while your age is nigh threescore.

And I but twenty-eight?

But that she s?id to sound his love, And see if Cupid's dart Had made a slight & shallow wound,

Or pievc'd the old man's heart

Yet he embraced that 'by-and bye,' And combed his wig so spruce And frisked about like some young

calf "t Just from the barn let loose.

Away unto the good town-cleik Without her sweet consent He fiew-as if propelled by stearo, „And published their intent.

The deed was quickly echoed round, uay

And all were tilled with glee .And when 'twas asked what she.would

do—

'Twas "la, Til let it be"! RUSTIC BARD.

Miscellaneous.

TENDER COURTSHIP. The young ladies of New Caledonia, and the adjacent islands, repair, with patriarchal simplicity, to the wells and iourttains of their neighborhood for water When a youth has seen and conceived a passion for one -of them, he repairs to the fountain, and lies in ambush in the thicket or •behind a rock. As the lady approaches w:th her pitcher, andstoop to draw the water her lover, taking advantage of her when she is in the most defenceless posture, rushes upon her and strikes her down with a club fneu seizing her by the hair of the head, lie drags her :«.way wounded and bleeding, to his hut, and she thus becomes his wife.—JL&ndctuJVIqiu HdV *w

'ENGLISH TAXATION LAWS. If a journeyman butcher should happen to be employed on any occasion in serving in his master's shop, the Said master is liable to pay the tax for a shop man but if a journeyf.- S man baker be so employed, his mas- ', ier i9not so liable, because, says the law, the baker is a manufacturer, and'thc butcher is not. But, with all *lui submission it muy be questioned whether the rendering of an ox inttf beef, or a sheep into inuttpn, is not as much the work of men's hands, and consequently as much manufacturing, as the making iof flour vinto **ad. ,v
