A WIFE.

WIZ T..
Moore in his life of Sheridan, thus speaks Of
Sherdans first wife, Miss Llnley, that was =
&c We have already with what plant
sympathy she followed her husband throughout
his various pursuits identifying herself with
the politician as warmly and readily as with the
author, and keeping love still attendant ge
MUS through all his transformations. AS the
wife of the dramatist and manager, we find her
calculating the receipts Of the house, assisting
in the adaptation Of her husbands opera, and
reading over the plays sent in by dramatic can
didates As the wife of the senator and orator,
we see her with no less zeal, making extracts
from state papers, and copying out ponderous
phlets-entering with all her heart and soul
into the details of election, and even endeavoring
to fathom the mysteries of the funds The affec-
Tomato and sensible care with which she watch
ed over, not only her own children, but those
which her beloved sister, Mrs. Tickell, confided
to her in dying, gives the finish to this picture
of domestic usefulness When it is recollected
too, that the person thus homelily employed was
gifted with every charm that could adorn and
delight society, it would he difficult, perhaps, to
find any where more perfect example Of that
happy mixture of utility and ornament, in which
all that is priced by the husband and the lover
combines, and which renders woman, what the
sacred fire was to the Parsees-not only an OBJ

warmth and comfort to their hearts,
The following anecdote Of Sheridan, the
thentcity of which is undoubted, is not we be-
leve generally known: at any rate, it seems not
to have heen known to Moore.
Soon after the marriage of Mr.. Sheridan with
Miss Hester Oge, they went visit to her
father the Dean of Winchester. During their,
stay at the Deanery, party met there one eve
ning the &c lion' of which was a kind of musical
genus-the fife-ma jor of regiment quartered
formance on several instruments, Miss Ogle, the
elder sister of Mrs Sheridan was more than com
monty delighted, and expressed her appreciation
and applause with all that vivacity and energy
which was natural to her character. Sheridan's
attention was soon attracted towards her
:" Look at Susan" said he, Sc she is quite in rap
tures-give me pencil and scrap of paper"
In moment he produced the following i'm
promptu:-
By heaven above, our Suke's in love,
And nothing can assuage her;
She's form'd plan for that smart man,
L mean that gay ffe-major
But bark again that merry strain
Now III bet any wager;
That overture has made it sure
wish you joy, ffemajor.
This was voted capital, and carried in high

wards the unconscious lic-lnaJOr, ana the Otiler

the same benediction. Sheridan did not relish
the implied association.

| The June number of the London Magazine con-
tains curious and interesting article upon the sub
ect of Chess playing it ends with the following ex
tract from DR.. Hyde -
'sThe old Irish were so addicted to Chess, that
amongst them the possession of good estates hath
been decided by it; and there some estates, at
; this time, the property whereof doth still depend
upon the issue Of game of Chess. For example,
the heirs of two certain noble Irish families, whom
could name. to say nothing of Others, hold their
lands upon the tenare, that one of them shall en-
counter the other Chess, in this manner, whoever
should conquer should seize and possess the estate
of the other. Therefore, they managing the affair
prudently among themselves, perhaps once every
year they meet, by appointment, to play at Chess.
| One of them makes move, and the other saith,-
" will consider how to you meet year!"-
This being done, Public Notary commits to wri-
ting the situation of the game, which neither of
| them hath won: hath been and will be continued
for some hundreds Of gears"

ter, at seven O'Clock in the evening of the day
mentioned iii the Indictment, i'll a field near
Colonel Grcens.reet's residence, the prison
or with five others, met them; and Wren
caught hold of the prosccutriX round the
waist, and said lie would kiss her. The pro-
sccutrix prevented him from doing so, and
screamed out; when her sister desired him
to leave her alone. The other prisoners were
encouraging Wren to kiss her. After the
prosecutrix got clear from Wren, the prison
ers called after her. During the whole OF the
trial they behaved with unGecoming levity
and declined saying any thing in their de
fence. The jury instantly found them al
guilty. The Court sentenced Wren to be i'm

COL. ALLEN M'LANE.
Among the surviving heroes who
witnessed the ceremonies of laying
the corner stoAe of the Bunker Hill
Monument, no one was better entitled
to attention than Col. Allen M'Lane,
of Delaware, who is 81 years old, and
is the father of a distinguished men,
Der of Congress, Louis M'Lane. We
take this occasion to introduce the fol-
lowing extract, of which he is the sub
iect, from the work Of late writer on
the Revolution: it will give pleasure to
to all who honor the valiant and chiv-
alrous.
"The details Of this veterans COM
bats, skirmishes and adventures are so
numerous, as we'll by sea as by land;
they are so complicated and various,
and so interviewer with the military
operations Immediately under General
Washington's orders, that they would
furnish interesting matter for the his
torian; and shall at some future day
give them to the public. He was en-
gagged, and had men actually killed
around him at the battle of Long ISL
and, and every successive action in
which General Washington comman-
ded, from that of the White Plains to
the capture of CORVALLIS at Yorktown.
After four pitched battles under Gen
eral Washington; eight heavy attacks,
including Trenton, Princeton, German
town, Stony Point and Powles Hook;
eighteen brisk skirmishes, numerous
affairs ofpiquets and one sea fight as
captain of marines, on board the Con-
gress, in which the British sloop OF
war Savage, captain Sterling, was Ia
ken-this revolutionary soldier having
spent his patrimoDy in the service Of
