plice, which was an old fafhioned one. “ Blast
th s old surplice," fold he to the clerk, “ 1 think
the devil is init !" The astonished clerk waited
until the parson had got it on, and thenfiarcalli
cally answered, “ I thinks as how he is Zir."

And wade the peopl'd world, Oh then may tame
Snatch his black memory from Oblivion's gloom,
And brand the moulted with Sawarrow's name.

Dreadful Suwarrow !—fore no former funs,
Ere fa w a murderer half so fell as thee,
Plunderer of provinces, thou fed'll on groans,
Thy spirit laugh'd at man's calamity.
* After z ferae confli& of 8 hours, the refinance on the part
of the Poles ceased ;but the mafacre by the detestable Suwarrow,
who, from his habitual cruelty, was feieaed for this service, con
tinued for two hours longer ; and the pillage lifted; till noon on
the allowing day. food Poles were computed to have been Rain
in the I(fault ; the remainder were either imprisoned or difperf
cd. The citizens of Warsaw were compelled to lay down their
arms, and their houses were plundered by the mercUefs Ruffians,
who, after the battle had ceased nearly ten hours, about 9 o'clock
tail htfct fire to the town, and again began to maffacrethe
inhabitants; 9090 perlons, unarmed men, defencelefs women,
and harmicfs infanta, perilled either in the flames or by the
sword, and nearly the whole of the fuburh was reduced to alhes.
In the whole of this liege it is computed that not left than
30,000 of the Poles were inhumanly put to death.

A token of our endless love,

By Order,
Henry the Fourth, King ot France, always made
bis children call him papa or father, and not the
usual ceremonious title of Sir, or “ Your Mhjefly."
He used frequently to join in their amusements ;
and one day as he was going on all fours with the
Dauphin, his son, on his back, an ambassador en
tered his apartment suddenly, and forprifed him
in this attitude. The monarch without moving
from it, laid to him, “ Monsieur l'Ambaffadeur,
have you any children ?" “ Yes, Sire," replied he.
—“ Very well then, (said the King,) I shall finifh
my race round my chamber."^
On the night of the 14 h of May last, the wife
of Mr. Thomas Hunbard, of Brimfield, Mrftachu

livered of a Phenomenon in human nature : Hav
ing two heads, two faces, two necks, one thorax,
or bread ; four arms ; and according to the belt
of Judges, but one let of lungs, one heart, one li
ver, one set of bowels, and one navel p-But all
below the navel, the parts were dillinCt and regu
lar for two male children, with two (pines, or
back bones, and two rumps ; with four thighs,
and four legs ; tire whole of which were of natural
growth, weighing nine pounds and three ounces.
" The mother though of a small make, never
weighing more than one hundred and ten pounds,
received no uncommon injury in her labor, and is
in a likely way to recover her illness.
The above Phenomenon is to be seen at Doctor
Thg's Babbitts' in Sturbridge, preserved in spirits

The workmen upon the canal at the Isle of Dogs
(Eng.) found, at the depth of fix feet, a spur of
uncommon dimensions; it measured it inches
from shank to shank ; it was quite black, but on
examination, the man who found it, difeovered it
to be pure gold. Sir Henry Bankes purchased it
for 35 guineas, A few days afterwaids they came
co a horse, about the fame depth, (landing ereCt in
a perfect itue. On being exposed to the air,
however, it fell to pieces. The conjecture is that
it inuft have flood there for some hundred years.

convifted for a mo^pvgrdly aflault on the late

was commissioned fliortly after by the President of

this Mr. Humphry's the father is a ship builder.
—To him and to the late Tench Francis was giv
n the contrast for building the United States
Frigate, a veflel that has certainly coll our coun
try near a million of dollars. This vessel, of which
Capt. Barry is commander, has been twice out ;
once on a cruise, and the fecund time with the late
envoys to France. She has returned ;it is said
an inquest has been held on her condition ; and it
is now said that the has been condemned, and
found not sea worthy, and is to be laid up. Such
is federal gratitude and federal economy !
The public may consider the watte of public
money on the U. S. frigate a matter of regret
—as good cometh out of Evil we confider it as a
matter rather of public congratulation—nice the
public will cease to be saddled with the expnfe of
a heavy annual eftabliihment for this frigate which
mull have been fultained in addition to the million
which her bare building had coll the public.
