EPILOGUE.
TO THE COMEDY OF THE WILL.
THE worlds stage-and men have seven ages.
So Shakespeare wrltes-king Of dramatick sages
But he forgot to tell you, in his plan,
That woman plays her part well as man.
FIRST, how her infant heart With triumphs swes,
When the red coral shakes its silver bells
She, like young statesmen, the rattle rings,
Leaps at the sound, and struts in leading strings.
Next little miss, in pn-afore so trim,
With nurse noisy-with mama prim
Eager to tell ysu all she's taught to utter
Lsps as she grasps tn allotted bread and butter
Type of her sex-who, though no longer young,
Holds ev'ry thing with ease, except their tongue.
school girl then, she curls her hair in papers,
And mimicks fathers gout and mothers vapours
Tramples alike on customs and on toes,
And whispers all she hears TO all she knows
Next, ripper miss, who nature more disclosing.
Now finds some traits of art are intcrposing
Aud with blue laughing eyes, behind her fan,
First acts her part-with that great actor, man.
Behold her now, an ogling vain coquette,
Catching male gudgeons in her silver metz
All things revers'd-the neck cropt close and bare,
Scarce feels the ncumbrance Of single hair;
While the thick forehead tresses ffzzled full,
Rival the tufted locks that grace the bull.
Then comes that sober character, a wife,
With all the dear, distracted of life;
A thousand cards. thousand joys attend
For what may not upon card depend
Though justice in the morn claim fifty pounds,
Five hundred won at might may "a al the wounds
Now she'll snatch half glance at opera ball,
meteor trac'd by none, though seen by ALL
At last the dowager, in ancient founces,
With snuff and spectacles--this age denounccs;
And thus she moralizes-

How bold and forward each young firt appears |!

For cour'ing, marrying, scolding and divorce;

As child, as sister, parent friend and wife,
Woman, the source of ev'ry fond employ,

What is your boast, male rulers of the land
How cold and cheerless all you command!
Vain your ambition--van your wealth and power,
Unless kind women share your raptur'd hour:
Unless, midst all the glare Of pageant art,
She adds her smile, and triumphs in your heart.

And how lovely that face,
Which together we grace,
For the woe and the bliss of another.

MISCELLANEOUS SELECTIONS.


AS smoaking is an innocent indulgence,
and as i, Is customary with people of all clas-
ses to relate stories, or the news of the day,
with cigars in their mouths and as the gen.
crafty of smoakcrs make an awkward appear
ance, in consequence of the Ignorance OF the
theory ol punctuation In smoaking, the follow
ing system is recommended -
"A simple puff, serves for comma,
puff, puff, senicoion
puff, puff, puff, puff, colon:
SKIS putfs, heriod.
A pause, with cigar kept in the mouth,
represents dssh--iongcr or short in conlin-
uance.
With the under lip raise the cigar almost
against the nose, for an erciamaiion And to
express great emotion, even to the shedding
of tears, only raise, as before, the cigar SO
as to touch the end to the nose. For an in
te~royati0n I? it is only necessary to open the
lips, and draw the cigar round to the corner
of the mouth.
Taking the cigar from the mouth and
knocking the FIRE from the end, is the con.
clusion of paragraph and throwing it in
the fire, is a final and stilish pause"
Never begin story with half smoaked ci-
gar for to light another while smoaking, is
not only breach Of politeness, but interferes
with the above system of punctuation, which
destroys all energy and harmony ofexpression.

DREADFUL CALAMITY

It again our painful duty to detail tn e
awful effects of dreadful visitation upon
our ill.fatad city. A Tornado having pass.
ed through it, carrying death and desolat-
ON in it's progress.
On Sunday evening last, the winds which
had been for some days light and variable,
shifted to the N. f. and blowing very fresh
through the night, it-continued in the same
Quarter all dav on Monday and on Monday
night on tuesday morning it blew with
increased violence, and during the whole
time from Sunday evening, there was al.
most an uncessipg fall of rain. About 10
o'clock in the forenoon OF Tuesday, the
wind shifted to the S. Z. and at half-past u
o'clock, Tornado, unprecedented here
in its extent and effects, crossed section
of our city. II first took effect at Fort Me.
chanic, situated on the southeast point of
the city, and passing from thence IN north
west direction, il crossed the town in a di
rect line to the pond on the north side of
Cannon's Bridge; how far it has extended
Its ravages INFO The country, we have not
yet learnt. In its progress, it overturned
and completely destroyed a great number
of houses and out.5uildings, unroofed o.
theirs, aud prostrated trees, fences, brick
walls and almost every thing coming in
contact with il. 1t is cumputed, from a
hasty view OF the scene of devastation, that
.he loss to the city will fall little, if any
short of that experienced by the calamitou.

IMPORTANT TO SHIP OWNERS IN r

IMPORTANT TO SHIP OWNERS IN rHEIr.
vERPooL TRADE.
1t IS well known to merchants in the Liz
verpool trade, that several years since, un.
der various pretexts, the trustee Of the Iii.
ve'pool docks made an important advance
on the dockage OF foreign bottoms. These
Pretexts were plausible, and appeared to be
justified by the great expenses incurred in
enlaarging the dock, projecting piers, and
various improvements for the security OF
shipping in that harbor.
The American chamber of commerce in
Liverpool composed of English merchants,
resisted ne advance, though at the time
and since, obliged to pay it, and put the
question in suit.
Advices have been received by the Au.
gustus that the verdict kas been given in
favor OF claimants for the chamber of conn
merce, and the sums have been reimburs.
ed to the agents of the ships. A house in
this town has received advice that the re.
turn dues in one ship of two hundred and
eighty tons, including four years interest,
Is fifty pounds sterling. One house in Ii.
verpooi can be named that has claims for A
mericans for nearly twenty thousand pounds.
This affords an interesting example Of
British Piracy! Alta moment when our
government Is waging warfare against
Great Britain, as malignant as it is puefile,
aJury OF British subjects, without our en-
couragement, without oar solicitation, is
restoring thousands to our pockets!
10 the honor OF the American merchants
IN Liverpool IT should be stated, that had
this suit proved unsuccessful, they had enc
gagged to bear the expenses, but if it were
successful, as it has proved, the parties
benefited should bear them.
