A portly, well dressed man, lately walking
along the Strand, London, suddenly dropped
down in 'an apopletick fit; and thodgh no less
a man than Sir John Eft was coming by
at the time, and, was willing to give every
assistance the Matera Medlca, could afford,

the reach of any physician. a corpse In the
Strand unowned, soon drew a crowd among
them came well-dresscd good looking
Young gentleman, who was curious to see
The dead man. He had no sooner made his
way through the mob, so as to get full view
Of the corpse, than fc was struck with amaze
ment he remained fixed, his conntenance
changed, and the tears began to How down
his checks.
As soon as he could recover himself so
far as to gain utterance, he exclaimed-"Oh
God my poor uncle Is he gone Is he
-Well,'' said he, with a deep sigh, so
perish my hopes am happy, however,that
/ luckily passed at this awful moment, to re-
scuc his poor remains, and see them decent
ly Inferred" Accordingly, the sorrowiul
youth called coach and the charitable mob,
who pi,ied the Gisconsolate nephew, assisted
TO put the corpse in the coach T; where the
pious young man soon stripped the body, de-
string to be set down at famous surgeons,
very conscientjously sold his pretended uncle
for TWO guineas. London PAPER.

THE SEAMAN.

When with.6ercc rage the wild winds roa',
And screaming frenzy's frantick form
Loves mid the swelling din TO pour
Loud dirges on the midnight storm
Then vainly thinks the seaman bold.
While shivr'ing with the rain and coid'
Oh had he sav'd his cash on shore,
He'd brave the faithless deep no more
And calling to his cheerless mind,
How blest a landsmans lot must be,
Who, SHELTERED from the reign and wind,
Laughs at the horrors of the ssa--
Forms humble plans Of future life,
A small neat cottage--and wie
Resolv'd to save his cash on shore,
And trusts the faithless deep no more
But soon the howling blast is Ger.
And peace resumes her tranquil reign
Fair blows the gale--the welcome shore
lie greets with longing eyes agalh
CLASPS his lov'd Mary in his arms,
Forgets the tempests Wild alarms,
Spends all his little cash on shore,
And gaily trips to sea for more =, r.
