The circumstances attending his diffolution are uncommonly affecting. Having, for a confiderable time before been deranged in his mind, he left his house early on the morning of the 9th of May, undifcovered by the family-walked as far as the North parish in Reading, where, in the afternoon, he inquired for the directest road to Bofton; but unhappily loft himfelf, foon after, in an adjacent wood-was overcome by fatigue, and expired. His life was an uniform exhibition of the true Chriftian character. Even in the shattered ftate of his understanding, the fubject of religion engaged his principal converfation.

VARIOUS rumors have circulated, refpecting the owners of the fortunate tickets, against the numbers of which the highest prizes were drawn in the Philanthropic Lottery; and as the truth is not yet generally known, which has occafioned feveral erroneous furmifes, the following may be depended on as facts: The higheft prize, 5000 dollars, was drawn by Mrs. ROBINSON, of this town; a widow, and the mother of feven children, whom, by industry and economy, fhe has educated in fuch a manner, a to render them reputable and ufeful members of fociety. The money was paid, a few days after the drawing of the lottery, into the hands of Capt. Connor, (of the fign of the bell) at whofe houfe Mrs. R. refided. The prize of 3000 dollars was drawn by a quartered number, two parts of which belonged to two mechanics of this town; one fourth was owned by a young Lady, and the other fourth by a young Lad, both of the country, but of different places. The prize of 1000 dollars was drawn by a young gentleman of the law, belonging to Charlestown, near Boston. This, however, is not to him the first instance of the favor of fortune. TO CORRESPONDENTS. OUR friend, and the friend of science, in the vicinity of Newburyport, has our thanks for his firft communication; we anticipate further favors. The fair authorefs of " A Fragment" has very prettily imitated the unrivalled author of the "Sentimental Journey." Any future production of the fame hand will be highly acceptable. We regret the omifion of "The Gentleman at Large," though his excufe is reafonable. The affurance that his pen is ftill at the fervice of the Phenix, is not lefs pleas ing to us, than it will undoubtedly be to our fair patronesses. "Marcus" will need much information before he can with propriety affume" The Reformer." The object that awakened Strephon's fancy in the Mall, cannot be more unchafte than his production is unpoetical. Our anticipated Correfpondent of Vermont has approved himself no less steril than his neighboring cliffs. An elegant plate will embellifh the next number. THE CURATE OF ELMWOOD. E conducted her into his HE own apartment, and fympathized with her in that ftrain of humane politeness which is ever infeparable from undebauched minds after 'fhe had compofed herself, he diftantly enquired (as if he had not known) into her business-this was exactly a repetition of Joe's narration-" I thank you Madam, faid he, for your politenefs. You will fee Lord C- in about an hour; but previously I think it my duty to inform you of what ought not to be longer concealed from you -It is now one o'clock-exactly -about three hours ago at ten. Bbb Lord Cappointed me to the living you are come to folicit." This information in no degree startled Julia, nor unruffled her features. She obferved, that fince her father had not been. lucky enough to obtain the vicarage, fhe was happy the appointment was beftowed upon a man who resembled him so much in his virtues. At the time fpecified Lord C. arrived. Julia was introduced to him by the Chaplain, and he fent to his fon for her letters. On reading them he confirmed what the Chaplain had mentioned. He then turned to Julia, falut ed her with that virtuous freedom for which he was always remarkable, and fondly converied with her about the moments he had fpent with her father fifty years ago-he next infiited that he fhould stay with him two or three days; to which the with the utmolt difficulty affented, and of which the informed her parent by letter. When the young Lord heard that Julia was to continue her vifit, he affumed fome pretence for retiring to his father's villa till her departure. Need I mention, that the Chaplain felt the force of the eyes of Julia! from the moment he firft faw her in tears, his heart was wounded to the core- the tears' of a fine woman are more eloquent than the lip of Tully, -Unskilful they Who drefs the Queen of Love in The graces that adorn her beauty Are foftnefs, fenfibility, and pity. It was during the fpace allot ted for dinner, that the first mutual communication of tenderness took place between the Chaplain and his adored Julia: I fay the fpace allotted for dinner, as either party were too much abforbed in the interefts of the heart, to fulfil the demands of hunger-he had fcarcely performed the firft ceremonies of the table, by invoking the bleffing of omnipotence upon the repaft, ere he riveted his eyes upon the harmonized vifage of his beloved maid, who fat, unconfcious of his adoration, in a "ftate half tranquilized; her delicate fyftem had not fully recov ered the tone of calmness; the ven yet fluttered at the remembrance of the dangers fhe had paffed, and would have been more than ordinary depreffed with awe had not the gentle old Peer, as ardently exercifed the first principle of politenefs, by reconciling. her to her fituation, through the medium of attention. There are moments when it might be imagined that invifible fylphs were buoyant, to direct the ftruggles of the foul, and cunningly lay open the fecrets of the heart by an apparent accident, when the powers of language were denied by difcretion, or withheld by terror: it was in one of thofe important moments, when a recollection of the great fervices which had been rendered her by the young divine, came full upon her mind; and as we are folicitous to contemplate what we efteem, fhe modeftly lifted up her eyelids to regard her preferver, who, perceiving her aim, collected fuch a portion of fire into his vifion, that when the azure orbs of Julia came in a direct line with those of the Chaplain, the lambent beam fhot through her fweet frame; confounded the dominion of her fenfes, and enclofed her warm heart - fhe felt the unufual throbbing, and fhrunk, like a fenfitive plant, within herfelf, as withing to hide what was unavoidable, from the obfervation of her affociates. This occurrence emboldened her admirer to open the fecond battery of his affection, by making the following requeft: MaMa-Madam will you do me the honor, to take a glass of wine?" to this the gladdening Julia affented, by an inclination of her fair body; and while fhe fipped the rofy liquor, her cheek was more highly fuffufed with red, than the beverage fhe as fparingly imbibed the trembling of her hand made the glafs vibrate on her pearly teeth-fhe panted with apprehenfion, yet looked with ce leftial benignity. For thofe coarfe and unenviable perfons, who have never known the bewitching influence of love, and its undescribable movements in the bofom, this recital can have no force but with thofe whofe organization is more delicate, it will have some intereft-each will conceive in the mysteries of feeling, what I am not able to delineate with my pen, and acquire a temporary gratification, by fuppofing all that Julia felt, in a novel embarraffinent foluxuriantly painful the Chaplain was fcarcely lefs confounded: he was agonized with the with for an opportunity to be more explicit the fuppreffion of thofe declaratory fentiments to the object of his pure regard, which were to determine the tendencies of his future life, created a pain within his heart, and twice a figh burft from its core, and would have iffued from his lips, if his correct judgment had not whispered, that it would be hazarding an emotion, in the prefence of a third perfon, which was not strictly compatible with policy, and might be offending if not injurous to his delectable Ju lia. It is on trials like thefe, that the accomplishments arifing from a refined education, cañ meliorate the powerful demands of inclination: and they are fo highly profitable, that in proportion as we exercife felf-denial, we are but preparing the fenfes for a richer banquet-it was not ordained that we should make the overtures of love with a beftial precipitation, and leap over that chain of progreffive bliffes, which emen. ate from the foft adminiftration of fympathy. When the mere grofs pleasure of the table had paffed, and the Chaplain had fervently made his acknowledgments to the Almighty for his great bounty, the venerable Nobleman turned towards his gentle gueft, with a mein fraught with the fincereft respect, and looking with ineffable kindnefs, afked her how the approved of the metropolis, as he under flood that he had never been in town before.--Julia replied, with fome hesitation, that her knowledge of London, and indeed of fociety in general was fo very limited, that the fhould but expofe her ignorance of both, and, perhaps, do a common wrong, by venturing her ideas upon a theme the fo ill understood--that fhe had found fome of the best axioms of theory overthrown by the practices of a bufy world,and that before the prefumed to draw a final opinion, fhe would endeavour to know more, as it were probable the bafer part of human nature, might be very inferior in numbers and influence to thofe who were exemplary; at leaft fhe would indulge that hope, until conviction denied her fuch a cheering privilege.
