INSCRIPTION ON THE GRAN E OF ANNA D•ARFET.

O'er my poor Anna's lowly grave
No dirge shall sound, no knell shall ring,
But Angels, as the high pines wave,
Their half-beard ' Aliserere' sing !
No flow'rs of transient bloom at eve
The maidens on the turf shall strew ;
Nor sigh. ar the sad spot they leave,
tweets to the Sweet ! a long adieu!
But in this wilderness profound,
O'er her the dove shall build her nest,
And Ocean swell with softer sound
A requiem to her dreams of rest !
Ah ! when shall I as quiet be,
tl'hen not a friend or human eye,
Shall mark beneath the mossy tree
The spot wherc.we forgotten lie ?
To kiss her name on the cold stone,
Is all that DOW on earth I crave ;
For in this world I um alone—
•• • Olt lay me with her in the grave.
' • Itoteks's Spirit of Discovery.

Chas or HTDIOTHOBIA.—A child in Upper Canada,
bit by a mad dog, anti exhibiting the usual appearance in
the sublingural glands, has been perfectly restored, by the
careful and repeated application of the lancet and caustic
to the pimples and tumours beneath the tongue. These
tuoioncs made their appearance on the evening of the tenth
(lay after the bite, and were iit ntedialely discharged by the
lancet. The same precess on t very re-appearance of the
tumours, produced a cure of this alarming disease in about
a week.—New Fork Stair:man.

PARING ROIIIIIIIY.—A fen• nights ago Mr. Evan Jones,
of Wa'worth, was knocked down and robbed of two
sovereigns as he was passing along the Southwark-road,
near the King's Bench Prison, by two men ; one of whom
gave him a desperate blow, which stunned him. while his
companion, under the pretence of assisting Mr. Jones,
turned his pockets inside out, and took from them the two
sovereigns, with which he eecapetl, leaving Mr. Jones
lying itisenchle on the ground.

Alibates go race takes place until 3londay, yet, front the great
interest limited, and the immense amount pending, the number of
persons already assembled ix an great, that this day may be consi-
dered as the first (tithe meeting. Fur weeks it has been known that
all the ordinary aecommodatiohs for those who make it their busi-
ness or pleasure to attend have been engaged. and that nt no com-
mon rate of charge, although it is but justice to the inhabitants to
say, that the representation made that twenty guinea* had been
charged for a bed, is quite erroneous; but that front three to ten
guineas have been charged during the meeting far the enjoyment of
the feathered pillow, and cheerfully paid, is true. Doncaster is
really all alive; all are looking out to snake up their rent by tlie
meeting; be it. the poor old Poldier with his '• here's a list of all the
hones, and the colours of the riders, for twopence," or the more
wealthy shopkeeper-householder, with his charge according to the
elegance of his banging*, or the texture of his carpets.

The influx for many &ye has been great, and every coach has
been in requisition to convey '• the lovers or the turf" to the beau-
tiful little town of Doncaster and its appendant, the unrivalled race
course.

This morning was to be a g,cot morning, all the horses en.
gaged In the meeting, or at least those who are likely to take
an active part in the campaign of tin week, were to take their
exercise.
As soon as the dawn appeared, the course had its attendants,
and by six o'clock some of the best men of the turf made their
appearance. Shortly after the strings of horses from the dif-
ferent Stables acre seen arriving. In due course those who hid
to take their gallops were started, and the whole course was one
busy scene. Homer, whose value, if compared with the bet-
ting upon him, was immense, and the pending fate of many
whose all hat been staked upon thin performance, became an
object of great interest; he only arrived yesterday, end he was
this morning first espied taking his salt: in •• the Town's Field,"
which wail Increased to Reenter, when he returned to -his stable;
but at twelve o'clock he took a sweat. On the course, however,
thing. mere different—most of the crack horses had a gallop, and
they were so ordered by their trainers that these gallops tended to
show the probable competition of powers in the horses. Illeinnon,
for instance, gallopped against Altisidora, Alderman against
A bron, Ilecigauntlet against Zealot, Cleveland against Daredevil.
Dauntless against Caccia Pistil, Pastime against Longwalst. Ce-
dric, Lottery, and various others in the trainers' stables, time
singly and others in the lot, had their turn. Lottery's gallop-
ing all round the course was very superior, and called to the re-
collection of some the place heraliould have held three years ago,
for the great St. Leger. Cedric was thought sotnewhat inte-
rior in action, from what has been done in the matches he
has had to contend for ; still lie abated his superiority. Cleve-
land was " wanted," and in a group of fix soon appeared,
and his leader was Daredevil, who dated to take a most
complete mucking without loteing Cleveland to turn even
a hair. This was ominous, anti tended to east a gloom on the faces
of some, and elongate those of many more ; sullehese facers re-
tained a hope--he was not a compact horse ; he was tall enough,
long enough, and strong enough to do ail that was required, but he
had in his builds fault ; or, in a turf phrase, he was not "a Le-
ger horse ;" he could never hold the distance. In the betting sir.
vie this caused a good deal of discussion, and at length a match
was made—Mr. llohyoake's Dauntless,,Bar. 71b. against Mr.
Rand's Cleveland, litt. Lager length, at next York Meeting,
for one thousand sovereigns, p. p. ; and, as a closer, 1,0001. to
0001. p. p. was bet on the event.

The betting last night, at a hoe hour, was as under:—.

4 and 4} to 1 agst. Hedgauntlet 17 to 1 agst. Dauntless
14 to 1 ugst. Cleveland :10 to 1 agar. Brother to Addy.

This morning when the horses took their gallops, the hill was
well attended : Homer was there for the first time; Cleveland,
Redgauntlet, Memnon, Bob Logic, Ilrownlock, Zino. and all the
leading horses were there. The moment Homer and Cleveland had
token their gallops there was a great panic, and the state of the odds
changed. Homer took his gallop with out Figarro, and all who
saw it (winners on him) were highly delighted. Cleveland drew
many long faces. The odds were:—

to 1 agst. Memnon 11 to I apt. Cleveland
5 to I agst. Redgauntlst 17 to I apt. Dauntless
11/ to 1 agst. Homer 311 to 1 agst. Brother to Addy.
