POETRY.
MATRIMONIAL oQUABBLE.

A man who'd buried one beloved wife,
And for her sake, admis'd married life,
TO lose no time (waose precious worth he knew
Soon took another, and widow too
She led him many weary nights and days,
And ,eaz'd him still with her krst husbands praise
While he, resolved to fit Aer 10 her kind,
AS often call'd his former wife to mind.
One night il bappen'd that in moody pet,
She caryd capon for their supper set
And, out of no corhpassion to the poor.
Serv'd with one half beggar at the door:
And with ii gave this charge, take this half fowl,
And pray sometimes for my dead husbands soul.
The living husband to return the Jest,
Call'd back the man and gave him all the rest;
With this injunction TOO, that all bis life
lie should remember his departed wife.
Thus, to upbraid each other with their dead,
The empty fools went suppcrlesst bed.

II is with much pleasure we learn, that
through The libcrality of colonel Howard lex
ercised SO frequently before on similar occa-
sions) the Washington Monument will be
erected in the Park at the intersection OF
Charles and John streets, the scite OF the old
Court house in Washington Square being too
confined a situation for monument on SO
grand plan as the one adopted Charles
street (extendod) will be widened TO a spa
csus avenue OF upwards of one hundred
feet in breadth, and ornameDted IN the CEN
tre with shrubbery, TO form an agreeable
procaenadate; aud Monument PiHn~, whore the
column will stand, is so elevated spot, tha.
the object will be seen from every road lead
ing into the city, and furnish permanent
land mark for vessels coming up the bay. 1t
is contemplated, we believe, to lay the corner
stone of this structure on the fourth OF July.

In short every thing We can collect from
the Paels papers received this morning,
would induce us to hope that peace has
been signed. What the terms NAV be
would be difficult of conjecture, but il is
stated in The San, that the number OF al
lied troops to remain in France, until the
final payment of the contributions, is
100000, viz.
British, Hanoverians. 81 $4,000
Hustrians, under count Bubna, 10000

Russians, under count M. Woron-
zow a1.O0O

And that these forces are to have cer-
tain annbet of fortresses as points d'appai,
~ case of any revolutionary movement.
They are well supplied with field artillery,
besides that of the fortresses, having a
monsst them, not less than FIVE hundred
pieces Of cannon. We believe The Sai, Is
not better informed than ourselves Oh the
subject. The opening of the chambers on
the 9th will, most likely, put all specula-
ton to rest, and to that event we look
with anxiety.

The method which NJ Parmentier has employ
ed for preserving potatoes, during fifty years, Is
to divide the potatoes, by rasplng or grating
them, Their aggregation IS destroyed, the net
work OF the fibres 10 torn, & the vascular issue IS
broken, to force out the water and eeular iuclosed
inthem. The CRATER may be fastened to mill stone
which greatly abridges the labor, and it might be
improved by adapting fly wheel to it, in order
TO regulate the notion and facilitate the play.
This mill will dispatch 48 bushels of potatoes,
while II workmen can make 12O pounds OF lecu-
