       Whatever is odd on Hymen's page,
      The wags in rhyme will twist it,        
      Whether in courtship, name, or age,        

      The married ones have miss'd it.
      But e'en though witlings make a rout,        
      And whims severely handle,        
      When life's poor lamp is going out        
      ‘Tis wise to get a CANDLE.
            [Berk. Amer.]

DIED
In Lyons, on the 16th inst. Hiram T. DAY, late editor and publisher of the Lyons Advertiser, aged exactly thirty years. His death was occasioned by pulmonary disease, under which he suffered for a long time before his death, and which if not originally produced, was undoubtedly exasperated by his labours at the press, and by the habit of keeping the apartment in which he worked in the winter, much too warm, a habit we believe to be very common in this climate, with all who follow the occupation of printing. Mr. DAY was a member of the fraternity of Free Masons, who buried him with masonick honours on Friday last. — Adv. 

At the house of Amos ROSS, in Henrietta, on the 25th instant Jacob CAPRON, late of Broadalbin, Montgomery Co., aged 42 years.
