Dear Doctor let u not tranaplre
How much yiiu r Lectures wo admire ;
How at your eloquence we wonder,
When you explain the cause of thunder,
Of lightning ni;cl electricity,
With a) much plainness nnd simplicity,
The origin of rocks and mountains,
Or seas and rivers, lakes and founuins,
Of rain snd hail of frost and snow,
And sll the winds and storm thai blow ;
Besides an hundred wonder mor.-,
Of which we never heard before,
But now dear Doctor, net to flatter,
There is a most importunt matter ;,
A matter which you never touch on,
A matter which our thoughta run much on ;
A subjHCt, if we wright conjecture,
Which wnll deserves a long, long lecture,
Which all the Lidiee would approve,
The natural iliatorv of Love,
Tell us why poor teridcr hearts,
So willingly admit Love'a darle;
Teach ua tho marks of love'a beginning
What ia ii makes a beau ao winning j
What ia il makee a cox-comb witty,
A doetaak wlaa. a eck coal pretty ;
Why wsbcllevs auch horrid Ilea,
That wssrssngsla In ths sklev,
- TJ&t1taliSs1 sre rose,'
Our syes are siars-auch charming noacs.
Explain our dreams, waking and sleeping,
Explain our laughing, and our weeping,
Explain onr hoping, and our doubling,
Our blustering, almpering, and pouting,
Tell ua all the enhanting, arte,
Of winning and keeping hearts ;
Teach ua Dear Doctor If you can,
To hambie that proud creatine, man ;
To tarn ths wiee ones Into fools.
The proud snd Insolent to tools ;
To make them sll ran halter akeltcr,
Their necks Into the marriage halter ;
Then leave oe to ourselves with iheae,
We'll rule and (urn them aa we please.
Dear Doctor tf yoa'll grjnt our wlahes,
We promise yon five hundred klasea,
And rather than ths affair ha blundered,
We'll give yog atx score lo rhe hundred,
Leap year Is past, Ah whst shall I do !
I'll try ijsgala In fifty two.

EXECUTION OF CENT MOYSE

phew MOyte, a young roan of eixellcni

most atrocious. When Toussaint was
made governor, most of the French pUui

suggested no doubt by the Lnglish aboli

promitet of a ttrict and impartial govern-
ment, it was sought to lure them back,

At the period of the tragical occurrence
which we ore about to narrate, Toussaint
Louverture was in the very zienth of his
fast) and height of his criminal career
Age, witb its steal ihyatep was crawling
oral him, and, without impairing his abili
torwetkening his system, was gradual
ly confirming his mind in blood and guilt
All those softer traits of character of which
in his younger days, he had not been en
Urely destitute, were now passing away,
leafing but the dark shades of misanthro
py and blood thirsiiness carefully hidden
tinder the mask of virtue and religion, by
tbe most devilish hypocrisy. In person he
was slightly under the middle size, not ve
ry well shaped, and the few wrinkles which
time had placed on hit brow, were depen
