EPITAPH
ON A POOR, BUT HONEST MAN.
STOP, reader, here, and deign a look
On one without a name—
Ne'er enter'd in the ample book
Os Fortune, or of Fume.
Studious of peace, he hated ftrife ;
Strict Virtue fill'd his breast :
His coat of aims, " a spotless life" —
"An honest heart," his crest."
Barter'd therewith was innocence;
And thus his motto ran —
'' A conference void of all offence,
" Both before God and Man."
In the great day (tho' wealth and pride
■ Now Scorn his pedigree)
Thousands Ihall with they'd been ally'd
To his great family.

From a late European Magazine.
A UTHENTIC Narrative of the extrordina-
TV ry fnfferings and prefirvation of Mrs. ELI
ZABETH WOODCOCK ; who after being
buried in the Snow Eight Days and nights, was
taken up alive, in the full possession of her men
tal Faculties.
ON Saturday,Feb. 2,1799, Elizabeth Wood
cock, the wife of a cottager at Impington, was
returning home, which was about three miles off
from Cambridge markets Being in the dusk
and darkness, rendered yet more terrible from
the severity of as stormy a night as has ever been
experienced (her horse breaking from her) she
loft her way, and was buried under the snow,
from the second to the tenth of the month ; and
after an interval of eight nights and days, was
found alive, with every mental faculty, unim
paired, but had loft the use of her feet, which ap
pear to be in a state of mortification.
As it is a case which human nature has seldom
experienced, end indeed which it may hardly by
some be thought capable of fuftaining,it is tho't
proper to give the public some of the particulars
by a person who has fcen the pit whence this un
fortunate woman was extricated—who has had
his information from the object of it herfclf
(which she is quite capable of detailing) and
who has had every othc r information on the fub
je& from, the two Gentlemen whofirft found her.
Let philosophy smile with pity or contempt
on our weakness, yet the fuperintendauce of a
particular Providence, interfering by second
eaufes, is so flattering to human nature, and so
much needed even by the proud apd felf fufficient
stoic, that we cannot relinquish the darling priv
ilege; but must keep it in fight from the begin
ning to the end of our narration.
On the Saturday night succeeding that on
which Mrs. Woodcode was found,a Mr. Munsey,
of the fame village, had very strong impressions
in a dream, that there was a hare under a cer
tain hedge,buried in the snow. In his walk there
fore to Cambridge the following day, in palling
within twenty yards of the fence, the circum
stance occurred to him. A handkerchief, which
the distressed recluse had thrust upwardsthrough
the furface, drew his eye to this particular spot.
However, if it had not been for his providential
suggestions concerning theharc,this signal might
DOT have led to a very different and mod happy
difeovery. For curiosity had been just so much
awakened as to bring him near enough to per
ceive a small tunnel through the snow, made by
the breath, which revived in his mind the dream
concerning the hare. And a fportfmau will easi
ly perceive the analogy,fince be knowsthat when
a hare is couched among the snow, there is al
ways an opening to the futface for breathing.—
Prepossessed with this idea, he drew rear with
caution ; and by that precaution, he thought he
diflinguifhcd the sighs of a person as in prayer.
Or which he beckoned to the son of Mr. Mer
rington and a shepherd, who were fortunately
near, but who on the firft mention of the circum
ftance,difcredited it. however, on his prefixing
that she was there, "and alive too!" they advan
ced, and were convinced ; and immediately ran
for Mr. Mt ruington's Father, who quickly at-<
tended with a cart, blankets, &c ; and as they re
moved the fnow,they perceived this unfortunate
woman's head. She inflandy recognized them
and fuatching Mr. Merrington's hand in extacy,
would not quit her hold but with reluctances— 1
On her entreating feme nourishment, that gen- |
tieman gave her a piece of bifeuit, and (with due I
precaution) only two icafpoonfuls of brandy, A
when she exclaimed," O ! this comforts me: " 1
but in removing her, fire nearly fainted.|
The account she gives of herfclf is so full of I
the simplicity of nature, and gratitude to that 1
Providence, whom,fhe fa ys, even in her bitterest
moments she never distrusted, that it cannot be f
repeated without losing its effe&. Her feelings,
or rather her agonies, were indeed exquisite,
when,during the many fcarches that were made,
flic heard the trampling of human feet at no
great diflarce, and even distinguished her hus
band's sympathizing voice,without being able to
txprcfs her situation ! The duties of religion,
that great and last resource, she fays, were her
conflant employment. For ihe was all resigna
tion. She tells her liftcoing friends, if it pleafe*
her Maker to restore her, tin's fcourgt of afflic
tion from him fltail influence her future conduct,
exemplified in gratitude and praise. Having'
an Almanack in her pocket, which she had bo't
vt the market, she consulted it to know when
she was to have solace from the moonlight.—
She phlied off two rings from her fingers, and
ptri them aid a one pound note into her nutmeg
grater ; and fays she frequently saw a beautiful
white dove hovering around her.
Both the Sundays of her entombment she
heard the bells of Ler village (which was only
half a mile distant) calling her rustic friends to
church. She, no doubt, would still congeal her
icy mansion with a tear, at thinking she only
could obey their solemn summons, when they
chimed her to her grave. However, she terms
her more than fubterrancous dvre^pg " a beau
tiful little aik ;" and moreover, that she waspre
fently infenfibic to any pain but the cravings of
appetite. Ibis she gratified with eating the
hardest morsels of snow she could get, with the
hand of which she still poffeffcd the use.
She thirks she could have lived only twenty
four hours longer , but of this, perhaps she is no
judge : for the snow not only befriended her in
food, but kept out the fatal, severity of the froft
in what she gratefully calls the " beautiful little
ark."
'We hear this remarkable circumflance is to be
matter of speculation for the Royal Society.

A NEW-YEAR'S GIFT.
From a late New-York paper.
The following inter fling feene occurred on the com
mencement of the New -Year.
A RESPECTABLE gentleman, whofc res
idence is a few miles from this city, actua
ted by those truly Christian feelings, which it is
to be hoped will more and more mark the ac
tions of those who hold a portion of the human
race in slavery, gave his negro Man and Wife
their Freedom. The manumiflion of the former
took place in town, while the master and his la
dy were on a vific. The valuable and imi t
tant instrument of writing being prepared and
executed in the presence of several ladies and
gentlemen was delivered to the slave; who, after
a solemn pause, in broken accents, though in lan
guage which conveyed the genuine sentiments
of bis heart, addressed his benefactors in sub
stance as follows:
" Master and Mistress, I thank you-for your
goodness co me this day. You are here assem
bled with four relations. This I think a good
opportunity for me to shew my gratitude for
your kindness. lam a poor African, therefore
make allowance for my want of words to ex
press my joy at this great deliverance. As Peter
said to the lame man when he healed him, so I
fay unto you,filter ts gold I have none, hutfueb as
I have I give unto thee — May the bleffi'i, of the
Lord be your re ward—may he relieve your fouls
from the bondage of fin and death, as you this
day relieved me from the bonds of slavery ; may
the bkflings of God rest on the heads of your
children and upon your children's children."
It was enough. Every heart at that moment
felt that keen fcnfibility which the unexpected
address of the free black excited.—All was si
lent. Tears, unaffected tears flowed from every
eye.
On the return home of this friend to the lib
erties of mankind, the fame praise worthy action
was experienced by the wife of this happy black
man. N.T. Mer. Adv.

From a London Paper, of Nov. 22.
BUONAPAR TE.
THE following curious Anecdote is related
of Buonaparte: When the Count D'An
traigues was arrested in Italy, his papers disclos
ed the correfpondcr.ee that exited bet ^ecn Pich
egru and the Prince of Conde, and the Count
was examined at Milan by Buonaparte. In the
course of their conversation M. D'Antraigue#
observed, that from the nature of things, France
would be obliged to revert to a Monarchy.— /
" At any rate," replied Buonaparte, "if the
Monarchy is re-established, it will not be done by
a sergeant of Artillery, but by men like you
and me."
Buonaparte seems disposed to rival
Jean Derby in dangers. He tells the French
in his Proclamation, that twenty Afoffins, armed
with stilettos, darted upon him, and rushed at his
breast. He tells them also, that the Grenadiers,
whom he had left at the door of the Ha!l, ran
up, and prevented the designs of the Assassins
from taking place. The Legislators, whom he
denominates Assassins, must have been a long
while darting, if they could not accomplish their
designs before the soldiers arrived from the
other end of the Hall. As to the Grenadier who
received a blow from a ftillcto which pierced
his eloatbs he mull certainly be a near relation
of Jean Derby, and possesses the fame kind of in
vulnerable body. They are both no doubt de
scended from Achilles, but we hope that his
weak part is in them transferred from the heel
to the need, and, if we may venturer pun, we
hope also that they too^gii find their destruc
tion in Paris.
