Pose,ffy Of John Rogers.--The descendants of
this famous marty, whose memory is preserved
IN the New-Ensand primer, and the representa-
ton OF whose suferings, in 4 villainous wood
cut, children gaze at with brcathess awe, are
yet New-England. II would seem also that
the honor ofhaving this eminent rcformer for an
ancestor is not thought lightly Of, and that the
genealogy which attests u descent from his
lons, is preserved with as much eXactness and
reverence as that of the nobility of other coun-
tries. A New Hampshire paper mentions the
death Of Miss Anna Rogers, of Exeter in that
state, aged rs, and linealy descended from this
dvine.-She was the daughter of Rev. Daniel
Rogers of Exeter. who died in 1885, who was the
son of Rev. John Rogers, of Ipswich, who died
in 1745, who was the son Of Rev. John Rogers,
President of Hazard College, who died in 1854,
who was the eldest son ofRev. Nathaniel Rogers,
who came from England in 1868, and settled in
Ipswich and died in 1866, who was the son of
Rev. John Rogers, of Dedham, in England, who
died in 1859, who was grandson of Rev. John

EPIGRAM.

AS Thomas was cudgell'd one day by hi:
wife,
He took to the street, and fled for his life
TOMS three dearest friends came by in the
squabble,
And sav'd him at once, from the shrew and
the rabble;
Then ventura to give him some sober adj
vice,
But Tom is person of honor so nice,
Too wise to take counsel, too proud to take
warning,
That he sent to all three challenge next
morning;
Three duels he fought, thrice ventura his
life,
Went home, and was cudgell'd again by
his wife.
