AMONG the variety of curious in
cidents which have arisen out of
the Lottery Mania, which has so long
prevailed, is the following :—A cer
tain young Blacksmith had paid his
addresses to a girl of some merit and
worth, but at the fame time very
poor and in a low sphere of life; As
love does not, in many instances, aft
very powerfully for any length of
time where the profpea of gain is
not an additional motive, this hap
pened to be precisely the case with
our son of Vulcan who by degrees
became lets urgent than before for
evidencing the sincerity of his inten
tions by assuming the chain of wed
lock. In this interval of indifference
the girl happened to draw a capital
prize in a lottery, and which was
amply Sufficient to make her pass for
a fortune.— Immediately upon hear
ing thi^good news, the ,Blacksmith
renewed his addresses with more ardor
and importunity than ever, his Dul
cinea having become a hundred times
more handsome than before, in his
eyes, by the agreeable addition of
many solid charms. The fortunate
young lady, however, thought proper
to refute his addresses, and desired
him not to trouble her any more, as
"the very fight of him was disagreea

BLEST is the man who :huns the place
Where Ladies love to meet ;
Who fears to tread their dang'rbus ways,
And hates the tatler's feat.
11.
But in the fleets of single life,
Has plac'd his whole delight;
By day ne'er sighs to have a wife
To plague his foul at night.
He, like an oak, of stoutest kind.
In some rich pasture set,
Safe from the storm and noisy wind,
- Lives like a prince in state.

Gay as a picture —and as fair,
His countenance shall shine ;
While scenes on ev'ry fide appear,
So clever and so fine.
V.
Not so the man that's got a wife—
He lives—poorfoul! forlorn—.
He's driv'n thro' tempest, din and ftrife,
Like chaff before the storm.

Hollands must never dare to stand,
And spat it face to face,
When wives, with broomstick in their hands;
Would teach the clowns their place.
VII.
Their eyes behold the path they tread,
They school their husbands well; —
But Bachelors, with none to dread.
May keep it up pell-mell.

in a very oblcuie and inferiour town,
to pay his addreffs to her :—He never
saw her, and had no idea of finding
any thing but rusticity in her ;—how
ever to gratify them he wrote and sent
her a letter of introduction in the fol

a visit and soon married her.
