ORIGINAL and SELECT. ANN OF THE VALE. A fair ow ning flower was Ann of the Vale, But a Hower with dew overspread For when faithless love did 1..r bosom assail, Honour spread his. bright pinions, and fled. Rejected and scorn'd by the gay village throng, No soothing companion she knew, Save a poor little red-breast that with his sweet song Ever strove to alleviate her woe! Peace again had began to make cheerful her cot, Recall'd by her Robin's soft breath, When the fell hand of cruelty leveli'd a shot, That laid the lov'd minstrel in death. Her poor feather'd friend to her bosom she press'd, For the world unrelenting she sigh'd And, robb'd of each solace on earth she possess'd, Ask'd heaven forgiveness, -,ind-d ied O peace to his shade, in the church-yard that plac'd Her humble memento—a Rail! Thereon, with rode sculpture, a red-breast that trac'd Ar;.r1 WtIVVJ 1* A .itror V.I. joiiu^w.i o ^reJc;irin=>y to for the etymology my eve. found that Junius derives it from a areeic woTX which signifies foolish. I must own the derivation startled me for being in my own opinion a of profound wisdom, though a bachelor, I felt a Jit tie hart that the fraternity, of which I have the ho- nor to be a member, should thus be wounded by the arrows of a fanciful etymologist. From disliking the derivation, I proceeded to quarrel with the position, and to inquire whether the cap and bells may not be added to other decorations of the married head. The man who,, misled by the cunning of another, suffers himself to be drawn into a contract by which he is ruined, and the author of the calamity unhurt, is gene- rally spoken of with more ridicule than compassion nor do I think the ridicula, would be lessened, if the knavish party should happentobea woman. In other words, by marriage a man runs a greater risk of being made a fool of, than by remaining sin gIe; a fact which the annals of Westminster Hall and Doctors' Commons zre by no means backward in authenticating. But there are other consequences of marriage, ■fchich, though not so ruinous to happiness as infide- lity, are equally calculated to promote vexation and excite ridicule. Some of these consequences will ap- pear in the following account. 0 Frank Homely and myself were in early youth as inseparable companions as good-humour and port wine could make us, till love, who, as the poet sings, At sight of human ties, Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies," threatened in an evil hour to set us at variance. Alike in studies and alike in pleasures, the same arrow smote us both, and both became victims to the bright eyes of Miss Rachel Barnaby, daughter of Mr. Giles Barnaby, an inconsiderable farmer in the neighbour- hood. For myself, being a man of an invincible mo- desty, I never told my love content that my pa- tient assiduities should tell it for me. But, alas pa- tient assiduities could effect little, when placed in com- petition with the more substantial qualifications of my friend, namely, assurance and three per cents. By means of these, Frank increased so rapidly in the dam- sel's good graces, that in the space of two months he led her to the altar. I had, during the progress of my passion, with a prudence rarely attainable by persons A in that situation, concealed it from my friend nor do I think Rachel herself, with all her sex's penetration, ever once dreamt of it. Being soon cured of all re- mains of fondness, -I set out on my travels, and, year after year, received from the English newspapers the important intelligence, that the wife (I beg her par- don, the lady) of Francis Homely, Esq. was delivered of a child. This brings to my mind an odd observa- tion, made to me by a lady of eminence at Venice, that the English, wisely knowing that the true wealth t of a country consists in its populatioh, never fail to record the birth of a child in all their public prints. But to proceed in my story. Fourteen years had elapsed since the period of my quitting England, and every year had witnessed an in- crease in the noble family of the Homelys. In that prolific house, the human figure might be seen in all its shapes and gradations-" ab ovo usque ad mala"— from the infart 11 muling and puking in the norse's arms," up to the tall coquettish girl aping the airs of womanhood. I had not been long landed when I re- ceived a letter from Mr. Homely, acquainting me, among other things, that he had been long married to old Barnaby's daughter, Rachel, a woman possessed of every accomplishment to make the married state happy that she had already blessed him with seven sons and seven daughters, as fine a set as ever I saw in my life, and that nothing was wanting to complete his felicity, but to find his friend a witness to it, &c. &c. I Eager to enioy the sight of so much connubial hap- piness, I fixed an early day to dine with him, and busied myself in the anticipation of the elegant delights which my poetic imagination figured my friend to possess- When the hour arrived, I repaired to Mr Homely's house, and was shewn into his study, which, instead of being furnished with books and maps, was X strewed about with go-carts, dolls, whistles, penny trumpets, and cheap publications." I thought-this rather strange furniture for ? library, simf imagined vhat nothing"short of the ingemntyof the Sage of La- puta could extract food for study from such a jumble of materials. Scarce had I made this reflection, when n'y ears were alarmed with a -tremendous sound, ,A, which, ascending the staircase, and bursting open the study door, exhibited four of my friend's sons, and six of his daughters, shouting like wild Americans, with their arms strongly fastened with cords, and urged forward by another of the hopeful race, who brandish- ed a whip over his head, and sent forth sounds from it which might have silenced the thong of a French pos- tillion: this gentle pastime, it seems, they called playing at horses. The infant banditti had paced lound the room, and thrown down three chairs in their pro- gress, when the second horse in the team fell down, and was dragged by his playful associates along the floor, in spite of his angry cries and remonstrances. It required all the authority of their father to quell this hideous din, who shortly made his appearance and, notwithstanding the increased wrinkles on his brow, welcomed me by a cordial shake by the hand, and led me up stairs to the drawing-room, to introduce me to his wife. The drawing-room had discarded all super- fluous ornaments, and boasted a negligence and plain- ness that Diogenes might not have been ashamed of. In one corner two mischievous urchins had torn open a new pack of cards, and were building houses with them. In another stood a cradle and caudle-cup; while rush-bottomed chairs, back-boards, steel-collars, and stocks, usurped the place of candelabrums, silk hangings, and mirrors. On my entrance, Mrs. Homely shook two children from her lap, and one from her shoulder, and arose to welcome me exhibit- ing to my astonished view the once slender Rachel converted into a broad clumsy dame, with all the of premature old age. After the usual ceremo- ook my seat: and now my torments commen )ne child fastened my button with pack-thread J"lck of the chair; another pierced the calf of with a black pin while a third insisted upon ng behind me, and swinging by my pig-tail. these tortures with the firmness of an American hoping that the call to dinner would put an ny sufferings. But my expectations were vain, uestion whether Sancho suffered half the vex- at I did during the mockery of a banquet, I confess my sufferings were alleviated by ob- that the rest of the company came in for their Mrs. Homely sat at the head of the table with y child on her knee, and insisted, like an in- mother as she was, that nine of her numerous hould seat themselves at the board, which cau- he din and disturbance that I expected. Two boats were overset on the satin breeches of Maroon; the immaculate muslin of Miss was fated to receive the contents of a wine- md, to complete the calamity, a fine leg of pork irely flayed, that the children might devour 1, under the significant name of crackling. My not quite reconciled to matrimonial trammels, rather disturbed at this scene of folly and con- but his helpmate, who had long buried po- and even decency, in the vortex of one lvt: passion, love for her offspring, was delight- the bustle, and mould not have the poor things for the world. She looked round upon her u.^Lw^d brood with exultation, even priding herself upon their defects, and appeared to think that she had obtained a dispensation from rule and reason, from the sole circumstance of having favoured the world with fourteen children. Now, Mr. Editor, is it not a shame that a parcel of idle fellows should sit down and write poetical pane gyrics upon 11 wedded love," when it is notorious that nine times out of ten the married state is as I have described it? We collegians, who take our ideas of life from books, are apt to imagine that marriage is attend- ed by all that elegant felicity which your Thomsons and your Shenstones describe. I confess, that at the age of nineteen such was my opinion but the case of my friend Homely, and twenty other cases which I might produce, have since tended to diminish my cre- dulity. Tell me, Sir, I entreat you, why should Hymen's torch and Cupid's bow be thus eternally at variance? Shew me the policy of this conduct, that one woman, elegant and silly, should, after marriage, suffer her elegance to evaporate, and her silliness to remain i while another, who in her virgin state has charmed her admiring acquaintance with beauty, accomplishments, and taste, should be content, when a wife, to absorb all other qualifications in the duties of housemaid and nurse. I am, See. SOLUS.

AGRICULTURE. SET STOCK LAMBS.—Fairs for the sale of lambs in several sheep districts take place in August; and it is, upon the whole, as proper a season as auy other, when the whole are collected, to draw into different parcels, for separating that portion whichis meant to be kept for the farmer's own use. The common managementof a flock is to sell a certain number of crones every year, and to keep that number of the very best ewe lambs to supply their place in the flock r and, in making this selection, the farmer or his shepherd usually (whatever the breed may be) rejects all that manifest any departure from certain signs of true breed thus, in a Norfolk flock, a white leg, and a face not of a hue sufficiently dark, would be excluded however well formed in the same manner, a white [ face on the South Downs in Wiltshire a black face would be an exclusion, or a horn that does not project, ■Ac. U'c. and where the produce is annually sold lean, there is reason in all this for customers who have been used to, and prefer certain breeds, as having paid them well, are apt to be fastidious when they purchase. Some farmers, in this selection, look chiefly at size, al- ways keeping the largest frames; but this is probably erroneous, unless they keep very high. It connects with a question by no means ascertained, whether sheep do or do not eat a quantity of food proportioned to their weight ? In general, it is a safer rule to choose a well-formed lamb, or that indicates the probability of making a well-formed ewe, rather than to select for size. The attention that is to be paid to wool, in the breeds that produce the carding sort, will depend on the price to be received if the farmer lives in a dis- trict where the price of the year is given equally to all flocks, there is little encouragement to lessen quantity for the sake of quality; retaining, however, in idea, the fact that both are attainable, that it is very com- mon to see coarse sheep breeched with light fleeces; and those of a fine quality heavy in weight. This moment of setting the stock lambs is, that of adding to, or di- minishing the number of a flock, by keeping more or fewer thah the crones sold. This is a very material part of the business: on a farm with a given stationary sheep-walk, it is probably regulated by circumstances that rarely change but on enclosed farms, where the sheep are supported by fields alternately in grass and tillage, variations may easily be supposed, and the question of hard or light stocking, that is, of close feeding or a head of grass, then come in to decide the number kept. If the produce or profit per head is looked to, the conduct to be pursued is evidently to stick lightly but if the return is looked for in corn,. (torn fdds bid down for refreshment by rest, then close feeding is a very material point, and the number kept will depend on it. With all the grasses, &c. that do not decline from age, the more sheep you keep, the more you may keep, and the more corn you will reap when such are ploughed j a circumstance too important be forgotten, l ,'to HISTORY OF WALES, A. D. 44S—450. (Continued.) When the bleeding head of Constans was presented to Vortigern he feigned the utmost astonishment and horror, wept over the ghasty visage, and by a master- stroke of policy, as if affected with honest indignation, commanded the heads of the assassins to be struck of|», The singular address of Vortigern, in the conduct <5? this affair, might cause the death of Constans, in some degree, to remain inveloped in uncertainty and dark- ness. It removed however the obstacle to his ambi- tion, and he immediatly ascended the throne; but whether by his own usurpation, or that he was called to the vacant dignity by the voice of the British states, is a point which remains undecided. Here let us pause a moment over-an Epoch dis- tinguished in the British annals, when the Saxons were invited into Britain, to be the guardians of its safety, and point out the probable causes of a measure so delusive, and fatal. The rapid changes of several princes from the sceptre to the grave, had shewn the precarious tenure under which the British sovereigns had held their power. The fear, likewise, of falling a sacrifice to the justice of his country, might be a pow- erful motive with Vortigern, to unite his cause with the ambitious views of the Saxons; whose number and valour might protect him from danger, and support their mutual interests, superadded to these motives of a personal nature, the public safety, at this time threat- ened with an invasion of the Picts and Scots, served Vortigern as a plausible pretext to convene the states of the kingdom, and to propose in that assembly the necessity of such an alliance. Nothing could so strongly mark the fear and distraction which, at this time, influenced the general council, as adopting so hastily a measure, repugnant to every principle of sound policy. The succeeding history of the Saxon wars, replete with human misery, and the ruin of the British empire, the effect of this day's counsels, are melancholy lessons to mankind that the people, who have not themselves the virtue to defend their country, are not likely by adventitious aid to preserve its free- dom. A weak credulity, and a temper hasty and impe. tuous, were the leading qualities of the Britons; which frequently excited them to resolutions the most preci- pitate and in founded. These defects, which have at all times been ruinous to their liberties laid them open to the machinations and interested views of this crafty usurper; and it was an easy matter for Vorti- gern, by sounding the alarm of danger, to obtain the consent of the British states, that deputies should be immediately dispatched to solicit aid of the Saxons.— Some nobler spirits, endued with greater strength of discernment, saw the fatal tendency of the measure, and exerted their utmost efforts to oppose the current of this general infatuation. But the evil genius of Britain prevailed, and deputies were sent to the Sax- ons, to solicit their assistance against the common enemy, the Picts and the Scots. The various tribes of the Saxons, at this perio were governed in the same manner as the Celtic ha tions. An assembly, composed of twelve of the most eminent chieftains, formed the great council of the nation, and during peace directed the public adminis- tration but in times of war, one person of this body pre-eminent in valour and other talents for command, was chosen by the common suffrages to take upon him the conduct of the state. At this period, Hengist and Horsa were princes of great distinction. They were the descendants of Woden, the founder of the nation, and regarded by the Saxons as the deity who presided in war, agreeably to the custom of the early ages, of paying divine honours to any distinguished individual, who had been the instrument of glory epi- of utility to his country. When the British deputies appeared before the as- sembly of the Saxon states, they opened the nature of their commission, and solicited assistance. Struck with this favourable opportunity of displaying their valour, and of gratifying their avidity, and probably discerning the consequent advantages, the Saxons reed to send the Britohs imtiediate aid and a large body of troops was embarked under the command of Hengist and Horsa. The former of these warriors, by his valour and abilities, was every way qualified to support the expectations of his country. On the cha- racter of Horsa, history is silent; except that, along with his brother, he had served in the Roman armies under Valentiiiian the third. When the deputies returned into Britain, and reported the success of their embassy, there was great rejoicing in the court of Vortigern. Soon after their arrival, Saxon auxiliaries landed at Ebsfleete in the Island of Thanet; the place which, by previons a- greement, was allotted for their residence. Under the influence of those fears which ever agitate guilty minds, it is natural to suppose, that the arrival of his new allies, would be a matter of pleasure and comfort to the British king. To shew them greater honour, he repaired in person to meet the Saxons, and waited their landing on the sea shore he there received them with extraordinary caresses, entertained them with feasts several days'; and after he had settled their sti- pulated pay, to avoid the causes of future discontents, he led them against the Picts and Scots, who at this time had penetrated as far as Stamford. That they might give an early impression of their valour, Hengist placed the Saxons in the front, as the station of dan- ger; and the Britons formed the rear of the army.— In this situation, they waited the attack of the enemy; who began the assault, as was usually their custom, by a discharge of lances and darts; wliich made no impression upon the Saxons, who were accustomed t) fight in a closer order, with long swords and battle axes. At length, after an engagement obstinately dis- puted and bloody, the Picts and Scots were entirely defeated. By this victory the Saxon princes obtained a high reputation for valour and military conduct.— A few subsequent efforts, which were always unpros- perous, obliged the Picts and Scots to relinquish their conquests, and to retieat into their country. If, upon this fortunate turn in their affairs, the Britons had united under a sovereign of ability and virtue, had enforced the immediate departure of the Saxons, at a time when they were few in-number, and had also es- tablished a naval force they might have preserved the public tranquillity, and have secured, for a time at least, the national independence. Instead of these decisive and politic measures, a ruinous and irreparable one ensued. For Hengist, whose penetrating mind had seen into the designs, And and critical situation of Vortigern who had observed the luxury, the negligence,, and effeminacy of the Bri- tons; and had noticed the richness of their country compared with his own began at this time to extend his view towards a permanent settlement in it. With this design, he invited a fresh body of his countrymen to assist in the enterprize, and to partake in the fruits of the conquests which he meditated. He likewise re- presented to the king the necessity of being possessed of some fortified place, as a security for his troops, and as a repository of their spoils and accordingly desired that he might erect such a fortress. The request of Hengist was at first refused by Vortigern, through fear that it might excite a jealousy among the Britons however, at length he accomplished his de- sign, by means of an artifice, which, if it be true, marked the exceeding simplicity of the times*. He desired as much land as the hide of an nx would sur- round, this beinjC agreed to, he cut the hirk into small thongs, with which he encompassed grouad sullicient.
