Do humbly offer this petition, To represent cur sail condition; Which once m;dc known, our hope and trust is. Your honored llouc will do us justice. Utit I -1 our lender sene ot' wrong, And volubility of tongue. Should make us trespass on your leisure, And speechify it out ofmeaMire, To save our breath, and eke your time. We clogour fluent speech with rhyme. First you iiall hir Hut can't you guess The reason of our sad distress? (Plague on the Widows that compel trs Tii'is to petition "bout young fellows!) Hut we were say ing you mtM know, Tho' blushing we declare our woe, A mahh u was designed by nature A weakly and imperfect creature, So liable to err or stray, Her wants require a guide, a stay; And liven so timorous of spirits, She (heads to be alone at nights! S ry what she will, do what she can, llr heart still gravitates to man; From whence 'tis evident a light That marriage N a woman's right ; And therefore 'tis prodigious hard Tone of such a right debarred: Yet we, poor soul, can't h ive the freedom To get good husbands, tho' we need Ym! The Widows, Sirs! Their art denotes, Them Marchivels in petticoats! These plagues, with heads on mischief running, Exceed by far the fox in cunning! They cut us out, are still before us! "Adore u!" Nay, 'lis ten times worse. Deuce take 'cm! (but we should not cure) For tho our number is not ;m:dl. There's hardly one amongst us all. Scarce one. 'lis true as G's in Clo'stcr, Can get a Strephon to accost her! ?Co single creature e'er is seen, Willi beanb d chin and manly mien. Hut what they have him in a minute! Weii! sure there is some witchcraft in it. to slop the (light of the murderer, nnd with his sabre cut oil all the fingers of lii right hand, hut was nut nhle to hiudet him from embracing the opportunity to osenpe through the door as it stood ojhmi. The woman had, while all this was pass ing made her way through the roof, and run to the village, which was a considera hlo distance to fetch assistance. Mean while, tin: husband on his way home, meets the blood-stained murderer, whom he recognises as tin? beggar who Ire quents that part of the country. The hyprocrite, concealing his fears under iilh;eteil lamentation, held up his mutila ted hand, saying, "Make haste! There is in your house a murderer, an uiiiccr, who had killed your children, and likewise a man who attempted to defend them, and from whom I have narrowly escaped in the condition you see." The terrified countryman, while the ottrocious villain hastens to escape, fiies, with his loaded oun in his hand, to his cottage, perceives through the open door the officer and the bloody corpse of his children, takes him of course for the murderer, levels his piece, and shoots him dead on the spot! The wife coming up with the villagers, hears the shot, sees the officer fall, utters a piercing cry, and exclaims: "What have you dune! You have killed our de liverer not he, but tin? beggar is the murderer of our children!" The husband, whose whole frame is shaken by the hor rors of the scene, and more by his own rash deed, stands a few moments petrified and motionless, falls back in a fit and expires! An rff retire. Laugher. The editor of the Bristol Gazette tells of an acquaint ance of his, who when he laughs, "shakes the room so that the spiders peep out of the cracks to see what is going on." Th' Assassin of Smolen.ko. The fol lowing dre idful event lately occurred in the neighborhood of Smolensko, in Rus sia. The owner of a loneiv coltage be out on the chase, a beggar, in all ap pe trance old and weak, entered in at noonday, and asked alms of the woman win wus ut homo with only her two youn:.' i i i i 111 .1 cnooren. l lie Kind neuried woman in vites him to rest himself, while she goes out to get something for him lo eat and beggar JVat bad. An old gentleman in Ken tucky, as the sun goes down on Saturday night, daubs up the entrances lo his bee hive to prevent the little fellows from working on the Sabbath. The reason irhij. A small lad asked permission of his mother to go to a ball. he told him it was a bad place ior little boys. "Why, mother, did'nt you and fa ther use to go to balls when you were young." "Yes, but we have seen the folly of it," answered the mother. "Well, mother," exclaimed the son, I want lo sec the folly of it too." rglllE Subscriber, who for several years past, has JL been engaged in the Gin Making business, In Kimton, has established himself in gui:i:nvilu;, Where he carries on the above business in r 11 its va rious branches.

After in.- hunT, he, to the no small astonish mnt of the woman assumed a different language mid with a tlirradiing voice, He rri rmled the money, which lie .-aid, her hu.shand had in ihe house. The wreteh rushing on her with a lariie bread knife, to force her to acknowledge where it was deposited, she declared herself ready to give hi ni what money she had and for this purpose mounted a ladder to a trap-door lending to ihe loft above. As soon as she had mounted, she drew uj the ladder after her, so that it was impossible for him to act at her. Finding that she dis regarded his menaces, he seized the two children and swore he would either kill or maim them, if she did not immediately come down and deliver him the money as she had promised. 'I'he woman how ever, remained in the loft, and endeavor ed to force a hole through the thaeth and call for help. While she was thus em ployed, the monger cut off tin; chil dren's ears nnd noses; and at last killed the poor maimed innocents, seornfully proclaiming to the mother the. murder he had committed. The latter having with grea' exertions made a hole m the r0of, called aloud for help, ller eries were heard by an officer who was passing by i- an open carriage, who sent his servant (while he remained sitting in the carriage) to enquire what was the matter. The servant hastened to the spot, but on en tering u,,. Cottnge was met by the rnur- in his der.-r, who plunged the knife Sympathetic Ink The following af fords a sympathetic ink very far superior to any, as yet, in use: dissolve a sin dl quantity of starch in a saucer with soft water, and use the liquid like common ink; when dry, no trace of the writing will ap pear upon the paper, and the letters can be developed only by a weak solution of iodine in alcohol, when they will appear of a purple color, which will not be effa ced until after long exposure to the at mosphere. So permanent are the traces left by the starch, that they cannot, when dry, be affected by India rubber; and in one case, a letter which had been (tarried in the pocket for a fortnight, had the secret characters displayed at once, by being very slightly moistened by tiie a bove preparation. Female PockiU again in favor. We perceive from the London Court Journal, that the revived fashion of pockets in each side of the ladies' dresses, is increasing in favor.
