The follow ing curious affair, may he
depended on as a fact : A young gen
tleman walking with a lady, to whom he
was paying his addre*u rJ, made In r an
offer of a lottery ticket. Sin hearing that
Bish’s offices were remarkable for sel
ling capital prizes, desired him to pur
chase it there, and accordingly they
went together. She chose the number
15,402; but, being fashionably dres
sed, (xcit/iout pockets') she desired bet
lover to take care of the ticket for h r ;
he. put it into his pockctbook, and no
thing further was thought of it, until
they saw Bish’s advertisement of having
sold the ticket No. 15,462, a prize of
20,000/. She ran lull of rapture to her
lover, stating how happy it w ould make
them both ; but he received her verv
cooly, and it was plain his love for the
prize had overcome his regard for the?
Jady, for lie absolutely refused to part
with the ticket, and has discontinued
his visite ever since*

TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW.
To-day the Sun with cloudless ray,
Beams jov and happiness around ;
To-morrow winds tempestuous play,
And sleet adorns the frozen ground.
Such is the doom to man assign’d ;
I Such are the changes of the mind.
To-day the genial vmphvrs breathe,
The fragrance of the op'ning rear ;
I o-morrow sees the barren heath,
And \ egetation disappear.
Such is the fate of human kind,
Such are the changes of the mind.
To-day the sun of Pleasure smiles;
Youth, Joy fk lie ante, deck the scenes;
Tlie magic wand < i Hope beguiles,
And not a dark cloud intervenes.
Such is the \ iew to vouth assign’d,
Such the delusion- of the mind.
To-nionow Disappointment low’rs,
Care’s canker gnaws the :\< hinghrt ast,
Regri t each passing moment sours,
Or Sorrow rears her gorgon crest.
Siudi is the doom to man assign’d ;
Stu’i are the changes of the mind.
To--..iv cUt itful Fortune wont's,
The glruUi’r.ing smile of Jov & Peace;
\W si e r.M Sorrow’s hidden snares,
That soon may bid our pi ensures cease:
Our prospects, fair and unconfm’d,
Yield sweei contentment t:> the mind.
To-morrow wears another face,
And durkninja’ clouds obscure the view;
In vain the past scenes we retrace,
Or strive the future to pursue- :
15tit dreary are th ■ thought' assign’d,
To o cupy the gloomy mind.
To-day then let us all prepare,
For what the morrow m tv produce .
To-morrow he our duelist iare,
To put each hour to proper use ;
IMove in the sphere hv Ileav’n design’d,
VnJ regulate the w.md’rirg mind.
