THE VILLAGE PRIZE.

In one of the loveliest villages ofol Vir-
ginia there lived in the year l775, an odd
and old man, whose daughter was declared,
by universal consent, to be the loveliest
maiden in all the country round. The
veteran, in his youth, had been athletic and
muscular above all his fellows: and his breast,
where he always wore them, could show
the adornment of three medals, received for
his victoriesin gymnastic feats when young
man. His daughter was now eighteen, and
had been sought in marriage by many sui
tors. One brought wealth--another fine
person--another this, and another that. But
they were all refused by the old man, who
became at last by-word for his obstinacy
among the young men of the village and
neighborhood.
AT length, the nineteenth birthday of An
nette, his charming daughter, who was as
amiable and modest as she was beautiful, ar
rived. The morning of that day, her father
invited all the youth of the country to a hay
making frOGc. Seventeen handsome and
industrious young men assembled. They
came not only to make hay, but also to make
love to the fair Annette. In three hours
they had filed the fathers barns with the
newly dried grass, & their own hearts with
love. Annette, by her fathers command,
had brought the malt liquor of her own
brewing, which she presented to each
enamored swain with her own fair hands.
Snow my boys" said the old keeper of
the jewel they all coveted, as leaning on
their pitchforks they assembled round his
door in the cool of the evening. my
boys, you have nearly all of you made pro-
posals for my Annette. Now you see do
not care any thing about money or talents,
book larning nor soldier larning ! can do as
well by my gal as any man in the country.
But want her to marry man of my own
grit. Now you know, or ought to know,

thing in all Virginny in the way o. leaping.
got my old woman by beating the smartest
man on the Eastern Shore; and have took
the oath, and sworn to it, that no man shall
marry my daughter without jumping for it.
You understand me, boys. There's the
green and here's Annette" he added, TAX
ing his daughter, who stood timidly behind
him, by the hand. "Now, the one that
jumps the furthest on dead level shall
marry Annette this very night"
This unique address was received by the
young men with applause. And many a

I'm Irish Temptation to Capitatsts.-
An estate was recently advertised in Cork

hundred gears, and the other on a lease for
eUer; on the expiration of which terms,
both the said villages will be capable of great
improvement.

AT Greenwich fair on Monday, one of
the showmen outside Caravan called pub
lie attention to most singular exhibition,
being nothing less than ''a man running
about upon five feet" Large crowds en-
tered the show to see this prodigy, when
the Snowman introduced himself as the
curiosity. Upon his being demonstrated
with by his dupes, he replied, "It's no de-
ception, said you'd see man running
about upon five feet, and don't Irun about

We learn from Mr.. Lockhart's memoirs
of his father-in-law, Sir Walter Scott, that
the first fee of any consequence which he
obtained at the bar, he expended on a silver
taper stand for his mother, which the old
lady used to point to with great satisfaction
as it stood on her chimney-piece twenty-five
years afterwards.

Old Skinhint's dead! Reader don't laugh,
Bot gravely scan his epitaph
He's left the things of time and sense
His bonds, and mortgages, and rerds:
And (without discount too) has paid 3D.
The debt of nature, long delay'd.
Doubt as you will, Pm bold to say
He always iodLh'd in Wisdom's way,
(When CHANGING in that path asidc,)
because he was too mean 10 ride.
His charity was used TO roam,
Far from his heart and private home; -
He liked the President and Pope,
But seldom washed his hands with soap.
His constant faith Is clearly shewn
BY this-he let good works alone.
Daily he rose, resolving fresh
To wound and mortify the flesh;
And oft for breakfast would he take,
A mouldy crust or heavy cake.
He chew'd not, (but when guilds were lent)
And smok'd segars-four for cent;
And as for drinking, never ftp
Bought liquor for his thirsty lip!
Whether he broke, from day to day,
The ten commands, | cannot say;
But as he kept all else, 'tis true
That he most likely kept them too.
If it should e'er be Johnny's fate
To pass through heavens golden gate
Saint Peter! eye him with great care,
Or John will fill his pockets there;
But if condemn'd to worlds of woe
tits his less lucky lot to go,

My dear brethren, said pastor lately
from his pulpit, never put yourselves in the
