Poetical,

The following Epitaph was written by Mrs. Ann Dcauchamp to be inscribed on the tombstone over the urn in which repose her remains and thovc of her husband Their memories will be execrated by some, by others Pity's lear shall fall. Kntomb'd bclovr in others arms, The husband and the wife repose. Safe from life's never ending storms, And safe from all their cruel foes. A child of evil fate she lived, A villain's wiles her peace had cross d, The husband of her heart revived The happiness she long had lost. He heard her tale of matchless woe. And burning for revenge, he rose, And laid the coward villain low. And struck dismay to virtue's foes. Reader! if honor's gen'rous blood. E'er warm'dthy breast, here shed a tear ; And let thy sympathetic flood, Deep in thy mind its traces bear. A father or a mother, thou. Thy daughter view in grief's despair; Then turn and see the villain low. And here let fall the grateful tear.

A brother or a sister thou, Pishonor'd sec thy sister dear! Then turn and sec the villain lo And here let f all the grateful tear. Daughter of sorrow ! most thy tear This tomb of lore and honor claim ; Tor thy i evengf the hnsli md here, Lai ' down in youth, his life and fame.

Major Cartwiight brought an Esquimaux woman to England with him of whom he used to relate many curious particulars. Though horribly ugly herself, she could hardly allow any English woman to be handsome ; but she was more just to the men. Slw was so struck on entering St. Paul's Cathedral, that her kneesnook under her ; Sc after a shoit pause, she anxiously inquired, Did man make it, or was it found here When the genile man who had the charge of her, told her that they must return tu her country for want of money, she asked why they did not go to the woods and kill venison ? and when told that they would be hanged if they did so. she expressed her surprise.

Murder indicated by a Dream. The following extraordinary cir cumstance we have heard from the party concerned. James Charles Ware, Esq of Norfolk : u About the latter end of autumn, 1819, I had retired to rest one evening earlier than usual, having invited some friends to supper, on the following night ; I had sl?pt some hours, when 1 dreamt that a lady, clothed in a long white robe, rushed into the chamber, Sc, fixing her eyes upon me, w ith a look of agony exclaim cd, 4 they will murder him!' and immediately a cry of one in pain fell upon my ear.

is to say, if the twenty thousand dollar piize should come out to an odd number, then every odd number in the scheme

will be entitled to a four dollar prize; if the twenty thousand dollar prize should come out to an even number, then all the even numbers in the scheme will be each entitled to a prize of four dollars. Odd numbers end cyzrA 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9. Even numbers ivith 2, 4, 6, 8 orO. '1 his mode of drawing not only peimits the whole lottery to be completed in one drawing but has the great advantage of distributing the small prizes regularly to every alternate number in the scheme, so that the holder of two tickets, or two shares of tickets, (one odd and one even number) will be cettain of obtaining at least one prize, ar.d in the same ratio for any greater quantity. A ticket drawing a superior prize in this scheme is not restricted from drawing an inferior one also many tickets, therefore, will necessarily obtain two prizes each. Prizes all payable in casA, which can be had, as tfsual, at Cohens' Offices, the moment they are drawn.
