THE MUMMY.

The following is an extract of letter from
gentleman of distinction lately in Charles
ton, TO his friend in Georgia, and is copied by
permission, and offered for publication in the
Gazette. Alb.
Dear CoIonel--I have Just come from
visiting the greatest curiosity ever be-
held it is a young lady only three thou
sand years OLd--a sombre complexion
ed lass from Egypt, the land of the Pha-
roahs, the Ptolemies, the Pyramids !
She is arrayed in a cere-cloth framed
on the banks ofthe Nile, and stands in
a" marrow house," decorated with all
the taste and science of the most learn
ed people in existence, long before the
invention of letters. "Dark and I'M
lovely are her looks" though she does
not actually "gnn horribly "a CHASTITY
smile," her fair and well set teeth ap-
pearing full and undecayed as the ever
lasting brightness Of the star under
which she was embalmed.
Singular-fated girl! Little did she
think, when on her dying couch, that
she would be exposed in this "undis-
covered country" some thirty centuries
after her mortal existance, TO the keen
gaze of male curiosity, without sense
of shrinking modesty, and serving as a
spectacle of curious wonder, and mere
''thing to make comparisons on" and
show the bellies of this new world, in the
teathless language Of one Shakespear,
a man of yesterday compared with her,
that I" though they paint an inch thick,
to her complexion must they come at
last" Alas, poor Cleopatra ! did |
view a symbol of thy matches beauty,
in this thy ancestor of"th' olden time.''
