A CARD.
To all those having or DESTROYS Of harng, an interest IN
the 9Th Class cfMs
Grand Vniversi y AOttery.

The sale of ticketsin the above Scheme not having
been sufficient to warrant the drawing to take place on
the the 22d ultmo, originally intended, without
risk of considerable loss to the manager, the drawing
the same is hereby postponed for 30 or 90 days. no
tce ofthe precise day which the Lottery will posi-
lively be drawn will however soon be given.
p. C3NFIELD, Manager.
1t may not, perhaps be necessary to assign any fur
ther reasons for this short posponement than are con-
tanned in the above. The MANAGER would, howev-
err beg leg leave add that when this class was is
sued few persons if any, anticipated i'll the least, the
late panic in the money market which has almost para
lived every kind of business andhas caused such sim
gular and unprecedented stagnatlon IN trade The
distress of capitalists and monied institutions has not
been confined to any single state III our confederacy
but it has been severely felt from extremity of the
country the other, and has been general in several OF
the oldest and weathiest foreign countries. And It
will not be considered matter Of SURPRISE that the
same causes which have induced recently the post
ponement of the drawing OF an important lottery should
have a similar effect OH ofmuch greater magnitude.
But il hoped, that happy change for these reverses
has already commenced and that all classes of our clt
zens in every part Of the Union will participate IN
the returning tide of prosperity. The scheme now Of
fered is by far the most attractive and splendid OF any
ever presented to the public in the United States and
many very many who adventure therein will certainly
be rewarded with princey fortunes or handsome addi-
tons to what they already possess.
Those who have not yet taken an interest in this Lot
terry now have an additional opportunity offered them;
and they are respectfully reminded, that by promptly
purchasing chances this most splendid scheme, they
will insure early distribution OF the rich prizes con-
tansas the lottery shall positively be drawn soon
as the sale of tickets will justify and the prizes paid
in cash Immediately after the drawing; all persons
therefore are invited to come forward and take ticket
or share at either OF the managers Offices; where al
applications personal per letter, will at any time be
promptly attended to by the pubc's obedlent servant

TIE REPOSITORY.
ALEXANDER AN . sEPTIMUs.

TRANSLATED FROM BYZANTINE TRAVELLER.
Athens, even long after the decline Of the Ro-
:nan empire, still continued the seat Of learning,
jolitcncas, and wisdom. The emperors and gen
erals who, in these periods of approaching isnor-
:ucn. still felt passion for science, from time
ID time added to its buildings, or increased
-ts professorships. Theodore, the Ostrosoth,
as of the number; he repaired those schools
Nhich barbaritv had suffered to fall into decay,
,nd continued those pensions TO men Of learn
,ng, which ayaricious governors had monopo-
lzed to themselves
In this city, and about this period, Alexander
and Scptimus were fellow students together
The one the most subtle rcasoner in the Iy-
ccu,m; the other the most eloquent speaker in
the academic grove. Mutual admiration soon
hcgat acquaintance and simililude of DISPOSE
ton made them perfect friends. Their fortunes
were nearly equal, their studies the same, and
they were natives of the two most celebrated
cities in the world; for Alexander was Of Athens,
Septimus came from Rome.
In this mutual harmony they lived for some
time together, when Alexander, after passing the
first part Of his life in the Incidence philosophy,
thought at length Of entering the busy world
nd, as step previous to this, placed his atiec-
tons on Hypatia, a lady of exquisite beauty
Hypatia showed no dislike to his addresses The
day Of their intended nuptials was fixed, the
previous ceremonies were performed, and no
thing how renamed but her being conducted
in triumph TO the apart,ncn; Of tie intended
bridegroom
An cxultation in his own happiness, Or his
being unable to enjoy any happiness without
making his friend Septimus partner, prevailed
upon him to introduce his mistress to bis fellow
student, which he did with the ~aicty Of a man
who found himself equally happy in love and
friendship. But this was an interview fatal to
The peace ofboth. Septimus no soonor saw her

lie used every effort but in vain, to suppress
desires at once imprudent and unjust He re-
tired to his apartment in nexpressible agony
and the emotions Of his mind in short time be
SO strong that they brought on fever,
which the physicians Judged ucurable.
During this illness Alrai. ,er watched him
with all the anxiety of fondness and brought
his mistress TO join in those offices Of friendship.
The sagaciy Of the physicians, by this means,
soon discovered the cause of their patients i'll
ness; and Alcander being appraised Of their dis
covery, at length eXtorted confession from the
reluctant dying lover
1t would but delay the narrative, to describe
the conflict between love and friendship, in the
breast Of Alexander on this occasion tits enough
to say that the Athenians were at this time ar
rived at such refinement in morals, that every
virtue was carried to excess In short, forget
full Of his own felicity, he gave up his intended
BRIDE, in all her charms, TO the young Roman.
They were married privately by his comfy
ance; and this unlocked for change of fortune,
wrought an unexpected change in the consttu-
ton Of the now happy Scptimus. In few days
he was perfectly recovered, and set out with his
fair partner for Rome. Here, Nv the exertion
Of those talents Of which he was so emincntly
possessed, he in few years arrived at the high
est digntaries Of the state, and was constituted
the city Judge, or pr;ttor.
Meanwhile Alexander not only felt the pain of
being separated from his friend and mistress
but prosecution was also commenced against
him by the relations Of IIypatla, for bascly
giving her up as was suggested for money Nei-
thcr his innocence of the crime laid to his
charge, nor his eloqucncc in his own defence,
was able to withstand the influence OF a power
full party
He was cast and condemned to pay an enor-
nous sum. Unable to raise so large a sum at
the time appointed. his possessions were conGs-
Gated, and himself stript Of the habit OF freedom,
and exposed in the market place, and was sold
as slave to the highest bidder
A merchant of Thracc becoming his purcha-
ser, Alexander, with some other companions Of
distress, was carried into the region of desola-
ton and sterility. His stated employment was to
folio" the herds Of an mpcrious master, and his
supply precarous existence.
Condrmncdto hopeless servltude, every morn
in@ walked him to a renewal Of famine or toll,
and every change Of season served but % az

death was the consequence OF his attempting to
fly. After some years of bondage, however, an
opportunity of escaping offered; he embraced
it with ardour, and travelled by night and lodg
cd in caverns by day: to shorten a long story.
he at last arrived in Rome The day of Alcan
ders arrival, Septimus sat in the forum, admin
istering justice and hther our wanderer came,
expecting TO be instantly known, and publicly
acknowledged. Here he stood the whole day
among the crowd, watching the eyes of the
Judge, and expecting TO be taken notice of; but
much was he altered by a long succession Of
hardships, that he passed entirely without no
tee; and in the evening, when he was going up
to the prator's chair, he was brutality repulscd
by the attending lictors The attention Of the
poor is generally driven from one ungratefu oh
ject to another
Night coming on, he now found himself under
the necessity of seeking a place to lie in. Ema
catcd and in rays as he was, none of the citi
zcns would harbour so much Wrctchc,lness. and
sleeping in the street might be attended with in
terruptlon danger: in short he was obliged
to take up his lodging in one Of the tombs with
out the city, the usual retreat Of guilt poverty,
or despair.
In this mansion of horror, laying his head up
on an inverted urn. Alexander forgot his rniscrics
for a while in sleep; and virtue found, on tins
hard flinty couch, more ease than down can sup
ply to the guilty.
1t was midnight, when two robbers came to
make this cave their retreat; but happening t.
disagree about the division OF their plumber, ono
him weltering in his blood at the entrance. II
these circumstances he was found next morning,
and this naturally induced a further inquiry
The alarm was spread. the cave was examined,
Alexander was found sleeping and Immediately
unprecedented and accused of robbery and muir

the wretchcdness OF his appearance confirmed

Thus lowering with resolution, he was dragge@
