Miscellaneous MATRIMONIAL FELICITY. The devil Avas missing one Sunday morn; And where do you think he tarried? Why! in the house ('tis true as you're horn) Of a couple newly married. He lilced it at first and why, forsooth? They were so kind and so loving: Ergo, so happy, (for that's a truth Which never, you know, needs proving.) That he longed between them like Adam and Eve, A trouble or two to be sowing: For no bad purpose, I'd have you believe, But to keep his hand a-going. But scarce had he made himself at home. When he saw that a storm was brewing: Satan wojulcr'd to see it work and foam; Said he, this is none of my doing. This beats why below, I've never heard such, Where they holla with might and main: I'm used to a noise but too much is too much! So I'll even pop down again. acres of iio most sterile and ap parently valueless land in Meck lenburg county, which yielded a miserable subsistence to himseU and family; but they had stayed on the place, iiv a half-starved condition, for many years. The discovery of the gold mine, how ever had a magical effect on the wo-begonc condition of the fami ly. No sooner was the old man's pockets well lined with cash, from the products of his auriferous soil, than himself and family plunged into extravagance and excess; and the BOTTLE, that too common resort of those whom affliction has cast down, or some freak of for tune has suddently elevated to a condition fur which nature and habit has unsuited them, cut short the days of this miserably fortu nate old man! Salisbury Car. The last number of the West ern Monthly Review, contains a description of the reptiles of the Mississippi Valley, and their ven omous character. The Review mentions, in connexion with this subject, a most tragical occur rence, more horrible in the rcla- than the ancient fiction of Lao coon. A family just emigra ted inadvertently fixed their cabin on the shelving declivity of a ledge, that proved a den of rat- itlcsnakcs. Warmed bv the first fire on the hearth of the cabin, the terrible reptiles issued in num- bv read with the deepest feelings of night, into the room where the commisscration: whole family slept. As happens "BriguSyNov. 21. -The James, in those cas'es, some slept on the belonging to Mr. Cozens, arrived floor and some on beds.

Most of the family were ging, and oh! dreadful to relate bitten to death; and those who es a dead man spread in the shrouds, caned, finding the whole cabin on whom the unfortunate and un-:occupied by these horrid tenants, happy survivors were subsisting!!! hissing and shakinr their rattles.

Here lies a Peck, which sonic men say Was first of all a Peck of clay: This wrought with skill divine, while fresh, tlOU liecame a curious Peck ot flesh; Through various forms its maker ran, When adding breath, made Peck a man Full fifty years Peck felt life's bubbles; Till death relieved a Peck of troubles; Then fell poor Peck, as all things nuibt, And here he lies a Peck of dust.
