EPIGRAM.
An American paper tells us of a woman named Dobbs, who was killed in a preaching-house at Nashville, by the fall of a chandelier on her head. Brett’s Patent Brandy poet, who would as soon make a witticism on a cracked crown as a cracked bottle, has sent us the following:—
“The light of life comes from above,”
Old Dingdrum snuffling said;
“The light came down on Peggy Dobbs,
And Peggy Dobbs was dead.”
A man in Kentucky was so absent, that he put himself on the toasting-fork, and did not discover his mistake until he was done brown.
