ym- j Tt W TT" "TT A TTT" From lljod'i Comic Annual. Bachelor's Complaint. They're stepping off, the friends I knew Th?y'ro goirig-onc by one; They're taking wives to tame their lives, Tn sir jovial d.iy3 are done. I can't g2t one old crony now, To join me in a spree; They've all grown grave domestic men v C3 CD Th?v look askance at rne. m I Into to sec them sobered dowiij The merry boys and true; I hito to sec them sneering now At pictures f mcy drew. I ci re not for their married cheer, Their puddings and Incur soups; And middle-aged relations round ' In formidable groups. And tho' their wife perchance may have A comely sort of ficc, And at the supper tabled end Conduct herself with grace ; I hale the prim reserve that reigns, The caution and the shape; I hate to see my friend grow vain Of furniture and plate. O! give me back the days again When we have wandered free, And stole the dew from every flower, The fruit from every tree. The friends I lov'd, they will not come They've all deserted me, They sit at home and toast their toes, Look stupid and sip tea. By jove I they go to bed at ten, And sup at half past nine And seldom do they now exceed A point or so of wine! They play at whist for sixpences, They very rarely dance, They never read a word of rhyme Nor open a romance ! They talk, forsooth! of Politics, Of taxes and tho crops ; And with their wives they lag about, For patterns at the shops. They're skilPd in butter, cheese and srjap, And leam'd in butcher's meat, And know exactly what they pay, And every thing they cat. And then they have children, too, To squall through thick and thin, And seem right proud to multiply Small images of sin: And yet, you may depend upon't, . Ere half their days are told, Their sons are taller than themselves,And. they are counted old. Alas! alas! for years gone by, And for the friends I've lost, When no warm feeling of the heart, Was chill'd by early frost; If these be Hyman's vaunted joys, I'd have him shun my door, Unlcsslte'il quench his torch and live Henceforth a Bachelor! Capture of Jerusalem ey the Crusaders. Extract from an unpublished ivorlc. The thirteenth of July, 10G7, was clear find unclouded, as had been nearly every day since the christian army first sat down ' before Jerusalem, and the sun poured his scorching rays with overwhelming vio lence on the holy city and the encircling camp of the crusaders; more than a month had elapsed since the allied chiefs of the crusadingarmy resolved to try the effect of a siege upon the infidel garrison, but the city still held out, and it now became evident to all that the attempt to reduce the enemy by famine would be vain; indeed, the scarcity of provisions was far greater in the camp of the besiegers that " among the besieged ; and the intense heat of the sun, combined with the absolute want of Water, was most intolerable. The commanders saw the soldiers of their army dying by hundreds, and the spirit of the sur- - vivors fast melting away under the burden of their increasing privations; and, at last a council of war, at which were present nearly all the nobles of the army, and tho ofneers of the two great orders, the knights, templars and the knights hospitlars, it was decided that a final attempt should be made to take the - city by storm; and Thursday, the ' thirteenth of July, was the day appointed for the assault. In order to be enabled to contend with greater advantage with the dcfenders,several huge wooden machines or lowers had been constructed by the christians, of height sufficient to overlook the walls of the city: they were sepcrated into three divisions, which were filled with- soldiers and engineers; the upper floor was provided with a moveable drawbridge sufficiently long to connect the tower with the ramparts, which would enable the besiegers to enter the city, ki case they should gain possession of a part of the wall. The attack, which was commenced with great violence early in the morning, was continued through the day with unabated, vigor; but the assailants were much surprised and mortified to find at the evening, that their continued and violent assaults had produced little cr no effect upon the fortifications of the city, owing to tho obstinate and well sustained defence of the enemy. Several of their largest towers had been entirely consumed by the terrible and niyste- . iiuus vjicutv uie, w men was hurled contmually from the city upon the dismayed soldiery habitations. Socloselv bad every part of the defences been guarded by the enemy, that, as yet, not one christian soldier had sjeceeded in gaining the ramparts of llie city, though numbers had perished in the attempt. One young knight of the order of the templars, who had vowed to be the firf t who should place his foot on

j die nmpirf?, had hcen twice repulsed by I A P P I 'll'

tho infidels, on the very point of fulfilling his vow. The attack was recommenced the followinT morning, but with less vigor than upon the preceding day. Tho crusaders, however animated by the exhortations and assurances of the monks and religious orders who accompanied the army, continued to to press the assault gallantly for several hours, wh?n, seeing no prospect of success, and disheartened by so many repulses, they begin to think of abandoning tho attempt entirely leaving to worthier or abler hands the task of wresting the holy city from the grasp of the unbelievers. At this critical point of time an event occurred which whether tho contrivance of some of the more crafty chiefs to inspirit their dismayed forces, or proceeding from another cause, had most powerful effects i upon the minds of the disheartened soldiery. On a sudden tho form of a knight, clad in flittering armour appeared, in full view of the whole christian army, on the summit of Mount Olivet. He seemed by his gestures to urge them to renew the assault. A shout arose from tho crusading army at the sight, and rushing back to tho walls, with loud cries of ktSt. George!" they resumed the attack with tenfold violence. A great number, among whom were the young templar Engclbert and his brother Rudolph, with many of the bravest commanders took possession of one of the wooden towers; and the defenders of tho rampart, surprised at their unexpected and furious ons?t, gave way. Godfrey of Boullon followed by several other commanders and nobles, was hastening to take possession of the wall by means of the moveable bridge, when Engclbert, regardless of the laws of chivalry, and the respect which he owed his chief, suddenly rushed by him, and stood on the rampart; the duke astonished at his presumption, paused for a moment, and Rudolph also passed by him, and joined his brother. The two brothers, the duke and his followers, hastily descended into the city; a few of the first were immediately cut down, by the Saracens, among them was the gallant Engclbert, but after a short contest they succeeded in repulsing the enemy; and Godfrey, accompanied by a few of the most distinguished warriors, leaving the remainder to preserve the entrance gallopped forward toward the gate of St. Stephen, to admit the soldiers without. In the meantime Engclbert had been dragged wounded and covered with blood, from tho ranks of the enemy by his brother, who vainly endeavored to standi his numerous and deep gashes. Engclbert in vain entreated him to leave him, and go to the aid of his weary and hard-pressed companions in the unequal contest, which they were now sustaining with the rapidly increasing force of the enemy. "I have liveJ long enough Rudolph," said the expiring knight, I have fulfilled my vow, but I shall never see the holy city in possession of the soldiers of the cross, 1 shall never worship at the tomb of the Savior; but yet" "Look up! look up! brother," shouted j Rudolph; see! Engclbert, see!" Tim dying man raised himself with difficulty, and gazed with a kindling eye on the scene before him. The encompassing body of the saracens was swept back, as it seemed, by some irrcsistable force. The clang of armour, and the shouts of the com batants, came nearer and nearer. The enemy rallied for a moment, then wavered, and finally broke and fled in all directions before the victorious soldiers of the cross, headed by the heroic Godfrey. Rudolph turned again to look upon his brother. He was dead. II. E. D. Catharine i. Empress of Russia. It is well known that the birth of this celebrated woman was so obscure, that she did not even know tho authors of her existence. She remembered only that she had a brother; but was ignorant where, or in what sit uation he was. She became the wife of Peter the Great, after having been his mistress for a long time; hut scarcely was she raised to the supreme dignity, when a remarkable circumstance happened, the relation of which will no doubt afford considerable entertainment. An envoy extraordinary from Poland to the court of Russia, returning to Dresden, stopped at an inn in Courtland, where he was witness to an interesting quarrel between one of the ostlers and several of his comrades, who were inebriated. One of them swore much, and threatened, in a low tone of voice, to make his antagonists repent of their insolence, having relations sufficiently powerful, he said to punish them. The minister, surprised at the decisive manner in which the domestic spoke, inquired his name and past condition; and was told, that he was an unfortunate Polander, named Charles Scorowski, whose father, supposed to have been a gentleman of Lithuania, dying early, had left his son in a miserable situation, with a daughter, who had been for some time lost. This answer excited curiosity in the minister, who imagined he perceived, in the rustic features of this cstlcr, some resemblance to those of the Empress Catharine, which were nobly formed, according to universal report. This adventure struck tire Polish minis ter so forcibly, that he jocularly wrote an j account oi it to a friend who resided at the Russian court. It is not known bow lb!: loftr f.ll nin j the hands of the Czar; but it is certain that ho tank a rnr monmuum cf it in a small book which lie always carried to assist his memory, lie sent an order to Prince Requin, governor of Iliga, to-discover Charles Scorowski; to entice him to Riga under some fair pretence; to seize him, without offering the smallest insult ; and to send bim, under a strong guard, to tho Chamber of Police,

which he had ordered to revise a decree '

passed against this imaginary prisoner This order, which appeared like an enigma to the governor, was punctually executed ; Charles was brought prisoner, and the Chamber pretended to proceed against him, with all the forms of law, as against a quarreler and a promoter of strife. He was afterwards sent to court under a guard, with the supposed informations which substantiated the offence of which he had been accused. Scorowski, under great apprehension for his fate, though ho believed himself to be perfectly innocent, was presented to the judge, who lengthened out tho process, in order that he might more easily examine the prisoner, whom ho had orders to sound thoroughly. The better to succeed in this design, he kept spies around him, to catch any marked word that might escape ; and private inquiries were made in Courtland, which proved most clearly that this domestic was the brother of the Empress Catharine. The Czar convinced of the truth of this circumstance, caused it to be intimated to Scorowski, that, as the judge was not disposed to treat him with much indulgence he could do nothing better than present a petition to his Sovereign; and that the means of doing this would he rendered easy, as not only access to the throne would be procured for him, but also protectors sufficiently powerful to ensure tho success of his request. Peter who had artfully contrived every thing for a scene amusing to to himself, but humiliating to the pride and haughtiness of Catharine, sent word, that on a certain day he would go incognito to dine with Chapelow, the steward of his household, and that after dinner he would give an audience to Scorowski. When the appointed time arrived, this rustic did not appear intimidated at the majesty of the monarch; he boldly presented his petition; but the Czar paid most attention to his figure and appearance. He asked him a number of questions, to which the rustic replied with so much precision, that it appeared Catharine was really his sister. Nevertheless, to remove all suspicion, the Czar left him abruptly, desiring that he would return next morning at the same hour; and this order was accompanied with a promise, that in all probability he would have no cause to be displeased with his expected sentence. The Czar, supping with the Empress that evening, and said to her, I dined to-day with Chapelow, and made a most excellent repast; I must take you thither someday.' 'Why noUo-morrow?' she replied. 'But,' rejoined the Czar, 'we must do as I did to-day; surprise him when he is about to sit down to dinner, and dispense with our attendants. Next day Peter and Catharine being accordingly at dinner with Chapelow, the petitioner was introduced, who approached with more timidity than he had shown before. The Czar affected not to recollect the subject cf his prayer, repeating the questions of the preceding day; but Scorowski returned the like answers. Catharine, reclining on a sofa, listened with the greatest attention; every phrase of j Scorowski vibrated on her cars; and the Czar still more aroused her, by saying, in a tone which indicated that he was interested in the conversation, 'Catharine attend to that! do not you comprehend?' Catharine on this changed color, her voice faltered, she could scarcely reply. 'But,' added the Czar with emotion, 'if you do not comprehend, I do. In a word, this man is your brother! Come,' said he to Charles, 'kiss the border of her robe, and her hand in quality of Empress; after which embrace her as your sister!' At these words, Catharine grew quite pale; and the power of speech forsook her; she remained for some time in a state of insensibility. When she recovered, Peter affectionately said, 'What great harm, then, is there in this adventure?' Well, I have found a brother-in-law! Jf he is a man of merit, and has any abilities, we shall make something of him. Console yourself, then, I beg of you; for I see nothing in all this that ought to give you a moment's uneasiness. Wo are now informed of an aflair which has cost us many inquiries. Let us depart.' Catharine rising up; requested to embrace her brother; and begged the Czar to continue his kindness to him and to his sister. It is not known by what accident Scorowski discovered that his sister had risen to the throne. The emperor assigned him a house and a pension; he was required to keep himself quiet, and to enjoy his fortune in private. Catharine was not much pleased, however, with the circumstances that conduced to this development. She felt herself internally humbled, by a discovery which pride and self-love considered as a degradation to the exalted dignity of her station. Sheridan. As Mr. Sheridan was travelling to town in one of the public coaches, for the purpose of canvassing Westminster, at the time when Mr. Paull was his opponent, he found himself in company with two Westminster electors. In the course of j conversation, one of them asked his friend to whom he meant to give his vote? The other replied, 'to Paull, certainly; for though I think him but a shabby sort of a fellow, I would vote for any one rather than that rascal Sheridan!' 'bo you know Sheridan?' inquired the stranger. 'Not I, sir,' was the answer, 'nor should I wish to know him.' The conversation dropped here; but when tne party alighted to breakfast, Sheridan called aside the oth o-finiloman and said. 'Pray who is that v agreeable friend of , yours f ho is one off Jo pleasantcst fellows I ovor not w-!tli - - - - ...v,.. 1 1 Llia UI I 1 ,.1 I should be glad to P. he is an eminent buyer, J Cl resides in Lincoln's inn Field,.' lireiUt over, the ,nnv rei . . i, - 1 ' r sumetl tb.eir scats mr.he coach; soon after which, Sheridan turned the discourse to' the law. lt is,' said he, 'a fine profession. Mcu may rise from it to the highest cminence in the state; and it gives vast scope

to the display of talent; many of the most

virtuous ami noble characters recorded in our history have been lawyers. I am sorry however, to add, tint some of the greatest rascals have also been lawyers; but of all tho rascals of lawyers I ever heard of, tho greatest is one T." who lives in Lincoln's l it i . i Inn Fields.1 Tho gentleman fired at the charge, said very angrilv, I am Mr. T. sir. And I am Mr. Sheridan,' was the replv. iiu jsi was msiantiy seen; they shook hands, and instead of voting against the facetious orator, the lawyer exerted himselt j warmly in promoting his election. Isaac Btssett, commonly called "Un cle Isaac," who died in this town re cently, at a very advanced age, con tinued the h;ihit of smoking a pipe of tobacco daily until the morning of the day that completed hh 83d year. On this day he sat in his chimney corner with his pipe in his hand, and addressing it, said: This blessed day I'm eighty three So faithful pipe Til set you free: The venerable old man abstained from j the use of the pipe exactly one year. j On the day that he was 84, lie resumed the cheerful pipe, and as he charged I u ave the following sentiment: This day I'm eighty-four, And I'll take one whiff more, and he continued the moderate use cf smoking until the day of his death. Lynn Messenger. There is an eastern story of a person who taught his parrot to repeat the words, "what doubt is there of that!" lie carried it to tho market for sale, fixing the price often rupec3. A mogul asked the parrot, "are you worth 100 rupees?" The parrot answered, 44 What doubt is thereof that?" The mogul was delighted and bought the bird. He soon found out that this was all he could say. Ashamed now of his bargain, he said to hitnelf, liI vra? a fool to buy lhi3 bird." The parrot exclaimed as usual, 4 What doubt is there of that ?"
