pEPP0 IA VENETIAN STORY.
This lively and sa'iracal Poem has
been widely circulated aud is we'll caleu-
lated to amuse vacant half hsur. The
fable is briefly rs follows:
8eppc, or Giuseppe, Venetian trader
is shipwrecked on the coast Of Turkey
becomes, Of course, a slave, and under
goes the usual treatment Of Christian
slaves. At length, weary Of this mode
Of life, he joins a pirate, accumuiates
wealth and returns to Venice, to spend
The remainder Of his days in peace, and
die in the bosom Of the church. Such
is the sto,y Of Repro himself. During
bis absence, an upderplot was carried on
by his vile, who, tired ofliving in Lone
Nv solitude, has recourse to the solaee u
sual with desolate ladies. She assocI-
ates herself with an Italian Count, IL
aished coxcomb with whom she goes
to every ball, feasr, and amusement, in
her power. OF this important parsonage,
we have the following graphic descrip-
ton 4:
And then he was Count, snd then he
knew

The last not easy, be il known to you,
