POT T R

AN EPITHALAMIUNi.

Noes., JOAN, ,;e are ni.trried—and let me say,
Thci' both are in konth, yet that youthdeedy
And uft in our jouriii.k, dear JOAN, I suppose;

We shill llieet with a bramble, and oft with role.

If the clnudi of niisNrtune shunts, diirkeri my day,
Thy sunshine sif beauty mint smile them away ;
And if the dull %spoilt should thiell upon thine;
TO chaie it, the pleasure and triumph be mine.

Let us not wish for riches, to waste and Coniunie;
For luxiir)'s Krit a short Way tkr the tomb ; •
Let us riot sigh frir grandetir—=for trust rue, my Joroti
The keenest of anguish sits oft on a throne.

When our business is o'er, b'y our fire we'll regale,
And treat some good neighbours each eve With good ale
For, JOAN, who would wish for self only to live
The blessing of life, my dear girl, is to give.

h'en the Robin and Sparrow shall not seek in
While thou haat a crumb, or thy COLON a grain ;
Not only their thanks shall they pour from the grove;
But yield, by example, sweet lessons of love.

As thy evening must come, then thy morn I'H remember,
And that May was my own, when thou shew'st me December;
And when age to my head shall his winter impart,
Then reflect that my summer gave warmth to thy heart !

LATIN VERSION, by an OLD WESTMINSTER.

Connubio juncta es mihi cara ; et dicer* fas est
Vere juventutis gaudet uterque novo,
At veris periturus bonos, ita gratis forms,
Quam cito diffugier lucida qumque dies,
Et per iter vita niodo grata, modoque vicissim
Avera contingent, non sine sente rose;
Si me circumdat teuebris iiiimica procella,
Te ridente, eito fulget übique juber,
Ceu te infelicem reddant qiracutuque malornm,
Sors mihi sit curas pellere grata was.
Non at divitia crescant sit dira cupid°,
Luxuries nempe ad funera ducit iter ;
Stemmatz., quid facient, vel quid regalia? scandit
Acrior auratum cura molesta torum,
Vicinis potius lmtdi %eremite fruemur,
Innocnosque acuat nobilis Ala jocos,
Ah quid Vita juvat ni rebus noscilur uti !
Et ferre oppressis wens bona gaudet opem,
Parva cohors avium cantu nec qumret inaui
Exiguo dabitur, drain manet esca, gregi,
Non tantutu grates trihuit pleno ore caterva.
Exemplt blandi pandit amoris opes.
Cum circunivcnient te sera incommode van
Sim jiteundi olim teinporis usque memor,
Sin daiunosa dies et inexorabile tempos,
Me spoliet, Inviter cars memento piei.

PERVRASE DECEPTION.—At the last Midsum-
mer Assizes in Berkshire, a young I3d, 18 years
of age, a shepherd, by name George Holloway, a
native of Aston, near Wallingford, was to have
been tried tor stealing 12 ewe sheep from Mr. Po-
cock, of Chosely, and also for stealing 18 ewe
sheep from Mr. P. Mathews, of Moulsfurd, lo
consequence of a wicked artifice practised by
him, be had reduced his constitution to such
a state of debility, by the most violent ex-
ertions to feign being mad and dumb, that he
could not be put urem his trial, and it became
traversed until the late Kent Assizes, when he
was arraigned and found guilty, the gaoler having
sworn that be verily believed George Ilolloway
to be perfectly sane, and that he could speak if
he chose. He was afterwards condemned, and
the Royal mercy extended to him; and on the
18th May last received a conditional pardon, to
be imprisoned and held to hard labour in the
gaol for two years. This offender ceased to
speak front the 26th of May, 1817, till Friday
mot ning the 26th tilt. Being asked if he was
any better, to the astonishment of the turnkey,
lie answered " No." He was then asked where
was the.seat of
.his disorder ; he pointed to his
chest, and said '' Here." The gaoler then asked
him how he could bare practised the deeeriuu so
long ? lie said, that a wan of the name of Francis
Povey, a fellow inisoner, persuaded him to do so,
and that he could have spoken any tune if be
chose. To detail every extravagant action of
this denraved youth during the period before his
trial • would be impossible. He was put into
a strait waistcoat for a mouth, to prevent
his doing himself or his fellow-prisoners
any harm. Since tie final sent:Mee has arrived,
his conduct has been extremely good—behaving
very orderly, working well, and manifesting strong
iymptonts of contrition, although he never spoke
until Friday week,—We never have before heard
of the character of Sheepface being played off in
real life.

ALARM AT TILE PAVILION IN BRIGI4TON.—An
alarm of thieves was given on Monday night by
the female seovaws. The patrol and military were
instantly assembled on the spar, and every mea-
sure was adopted to ensure the Capture of any
desperadoes who might have ventured on so dan-
gerous an enterprize. No one was found : and it
is now supposed, that if any m3n at all
.appeared
an the leads of Marlborough-house, and peeped
it, at the windows of the attics, where the timid
damsels reposed (as they assert), it mist have
been their charms, and not a hope of pillage, that
attracted him.

A serious affair lately occurred at a small church
in Wales. The pastor having a tame goat, which
followed him to the church and sat under the pul-
pit, the nnimsl was so struck with the nodding of
a drowsy Cambrian, who Sat opposite to him, that,
taking the frequent inclinations of his head for a
ehatlinge to combat, he made a butt at his supposed
antagonist, who, not observing from whence the
tdotv proceeded, struck the person next to him
The Parson, who was also of the (porton, would
have committed the drowsy Canthri4u, when
brought before him next day, especi lily as the
latter had been convicted of 'Wing and comment-
ing on the newspapers ; but as It was proved by
•everal witnesses that, his goat was the first ag
gressor, he observed, that if people .• tespis,d
livine service, it would pe no wonder if peasts erf
the field was to rise upon all the chakorins in the
couniry;'
