THE LADY BURIED ALIVE.

In the Causes Cetebres, we find the
following romantic story related as hav-
ing actually occurred in France, and
been the cause of judicial proceeding
in the courts of that country: with what
truth will be afterwards seen.
"Two merchants, living in the street
St. Honorious, were connected with
each other by the most sacred and in
violable ties of friendship, possessed of
equal fortunes, and both engaged in the
same branch of trade. The one had
son, and the other daughter, nearly of
the same age. The first sentiments
which made the daughter sensible that
she was capable Of love, also convinced
her that her heart belonged to the son,
who in his turn was no less attached to
her. This reciprocal inclination was
encouraged and kept up by frequent
visits, authorized by both fathers, who
,, observed with pleasure the disposition Of
their children exactly suited to the inten-
ton they had Of rendering them hus-
band and wife. Accordingly marriage
was about to be concluded between
them, when a rich collector Of the
kings revenues made his addresses TO
the lady as a lover. The delHsive
charms of superior fortune soon in
duced her parents 10 change their res
olutionywith respectto their neighbours
son, and the lady's aversion to her new
lover being snrmounted by her flial du-
ty, she married the collector, and like a
virtuous woman, discharged the gentle
man whom she loved from ever seeing
her again. The melancholy brought on
by an engagement so fatal to her hap
piness, threw her into a disorder in
which her senses were so locked up
that she was taken up for dead, and in
TERED as such.
We may readily suppose that her
first lover was not the last person who
heard the account ofthis melancholy ac-
cident; but as he remembered that she
had before been seized with a violent
paroxysm Of oflethargy, he fattered him
self that her late misfortunes might pos
sibly be produced by the Same cause
this opinion not only alleviated his sor-
row, but induced him to bribe the grave
digger, by whose assistance he raised
her from her tomb, and conveyed her to
proper chamber, where by the use Of
all the expedients he could possibly i'm
agine, he happily restored her to life.
The lady, probably, was in no small
CONSERVATION when she found herself in
a strange house, saw her lover sitting

she was tenderly attached, had died
about year before on'hls return from

But from the moment she heard of his
decease, she said she found there vas no
happiness left for her in England, every
thing that she saw or heard-the little
groves that surrounded her dwelling

We shall not offer any apology for publish

entitled "THE DocToR IN TROUBLE" as
il possesses sufficient wit to redeem it from the
imputation of lightness and folly.
THE DOCTOR IN TROUBLE.

And he had wife, was the plague OF his lie,
With her squallery, bawlery, ho
She worried and teazed the unfortunate If,
Ifhis patients were few, he was patient himself ;
But ut last she fell sick, and was laid on the
shelf,
With her sigh away, die away, ho!
Now in sables the doctor had often rehenr.ed,
Whine sway, groan away, no
And he always wore mourning for Iear OF The
worst,
With his seem TO grieve, laugh in sleeve
So coffin he bought Of a friend in the trade,
And ma am unitr ground very snusly was laid ;
And the very next night Bolus married his maid,
With her fe for shame change her

Now it happened that night that gentleman

With his coffin crack, spade and sack, no |!

With his bolt and chain, lock asaD, ho!
