THEME THINGS A GOOD WIFE SHODZD BE LIME—WHICH
TIIIIKE THINGS SHE SHOULD NOT Ili LIM
A Wire domestic, good, and pure,
Like SNAIL should keep within her doer;
But ,rat like SNAIL, IN silver'd track,
Place all her wealth upon her back !

A Wire should be like Ecuo, true,
And speak but when she's spoken to;
• But not like Beige, still be heard
Contending for the final word !
Like a Tows, Caeca a Wise should be,
Keep time and regularity;
But not like CLocis, harangue so clear,
That all the•town her voice might hear!

Young man !—lf these allusions strike,
She whom as bride you'd hail,
Must, just be ftie, and just torah
An ECHO, CLoci, and SNAIL! w. at.

PREDICTION BY THE BISHOP OF ARM, IN THE
TEAR 1610.—A prediction by the Bishop of Alum,
in the year 1610, extracted in 1775, by Dr. JONES,
late Bishop of Kildare, from a book deposited in the
Royal Library at Paris, and in the possession of two
respectable Gentlemen of Dublin upwards of twenty
years, one of whom received it from Dr. JONES :
" The Administrators of this kingdom, France,
shall be so blinded with vice that they will leave it
without defenders. The band of GOD shall extend
itself over them and over all the rich. There shall
be two husbands, the one true and the other adulterosu
(1) • the legitimate husband shall be destroyed (2).
-A division (3) shall spring up in the House of GOD.
There shall be a great carnage, and as great an effu-
sion of blood as in the times of the Gentiles. The
Universal Church and the whole world shall deplore

the ruin and destruction of a mort celebrated city (4:), the
capital of a great Nation. The altars and temples shall
• be destroyed (5), the Holy Virgins outraged and
driven from the monasteries, the Church Pastors shall

be driven from their seats, and the whole Church

shall be stripped of it, temporal goods (6) ; but at
length the Black Eagle (7) and the Lion (8) shall ap-
pear hovering over far countries. Misery to thee, Oh
City of Opulence ! thou shalt at first rejoice, but thy
end shall come—Misery to thee, Oh City of Philosophy!
(9) thou shalt be subjected, and captive Kings (10)
htunbled to confusion shall be released, receive their
Crowns, and shall destroy the childrenof Brutus (11)."

On Tuesday last a little child, about three years
iold, the daughter of Mr. Dumford, of Granby-street,
Plymouth Dock, was burnt to death by her clothes
1.1
taking fire.
A young woman of the name of George, servant to
Mrs. Rowlands, in Oxford-street, was so shockingly
burnt, by her clothes taking fire, on Sunday evening,
that she cannot possibly survive. She had fallen
asleep in the kitchen, and it is supposed the candle
set fire to the upper part of her dress. Her shrieks
I brought some persons to her assistance, but her gar.
ments were reduced to tinder, and she was unable to
i give any account of the catastrophe.
Last week Mr. Way, baker, of Plymouth Dock,
1 having desired a youth to bring down a gun from an
I upper room, the boy, supposing it not to be loaded,
1 and the priming being gone, snapped it at two other
i) boys. The piece exploded and wounded both, one
1 of them so dangerously that his life is despaired of.
A few days since, at Hassendeanburn, two of Mr.
1 Dickson's servants went to shoot hares, when the gun
•1 which one of them carried accidentally went off, and
k so severely wounded the other, that he died in about
1
i half an hour.
A few nights since the wife of a respectable cow-
-1 keeper, residing in Orchard-street, Westminster, in
-her sleep, threw herself from her bed-room window
on the second floor into the street ; her leg was frac-
tured in the fall, and she received several other very
, severe bruises. The accident was occasioned by her
• dreaming that some one was stealing the cows out of
'," the yard.
