At, Richmond I first saw Mrs. Miurisbn,rind
the instant my eye fell upon her I felt that I
was looking on a Queen. 4. queen' she was;
one of nature's queens:—she looked the char- 1

would have been in plate In any, the, most
polished, Court of Europe. To her Virgil's'
immortal words applied - with a force that struck
every heholder: " IniezZit Regina." Her per=
sonwas large and dignified; yet Moved with
leasy grace: her E:te a full oval, with raised
features, double chin,fine eyes, and a mouth I

of her intercession. A gentleman was at
Richmond with .a subscription for an edition
of the American Encyclopmdia. The presence
of so numerous an assemblage - of intelligent
men presented a favorable opportunity for
prosecuting such an .enterprise. The work
was expensive, and its. publishers would- not'
feel warranted to enter into such an undertak
hag without 'securing, beforehr.ad, a. respecta
ble amount of patronage. The gentle Man was
very anxious, and his first application must, of
' coarse, be =ode to .3fr. Madison, that. name
alone would be. worth to him more than ahma
-1 dyed others. With such a name at the head
r
of his list ho could present it to any' , a ran;
without it, he would be met with its absence
as an objectiOn. lie applied, and was refried.
Mr. Itfacisen admitted the value of the work,
complimented the applicant on . his enterprise'
i in undertaking its publication, wished him ev-
I ery success, but pleaded his own restricted
I circumstances, which would not justify him in
incurring the expenses The poor man came
Ito me in great dejection. A refusal flom such
a source took the wind out of his sails: it
would justify all in refusing who sought' an
I excuse to do so. " What shall I do?," said be,

" Yes my dear," - Said he, ".I run aware of that;

Not long since', at a convivial party,at which
Mr. Webster and several distinguished
yens were present, the conversation happening
to turn on the legal profession, Mr. Webster
relateirthe followingatory:
"When I was a young practitioner," said
Ur. Webster, " there was but one man at the
New Hampshire bar of whom. I was sfraid,
and that Was old Barnaby. - There Wire but
few men who dared to enter the lists with
hint. On one occasion Oamaby was employ
ed to defend a suit for piece of land,brought
by • a little crabbed, tanning lawy-ir, called
Brute. Bruce's case was looked upon as good
as lost, when it was ascertained that: Barnaby
was retained against him. The suit came on
for trial, and Hamby found that Bniee had
worked hard, and left no stone unturned to j
gain.the victory. The, testimony for the plain.
tiff wasNery strong, and unless It could be
impeached, the case of the ffefendant was lost.
uThe - piinelpal witness ,Introduced- by the
plaintiff Wore a redcoat In summing, up for
the defence, Old Barnaby commenced a for.
ous attack on this witness, pulling Ids testi
mony all to pieces, and appealing to the jury
if a man who worm a red coat was, under any
circumstances, to be believed.
"And who is this red• Casted winless?' ex
claimed Barnaby, 'but a demendant of our
common enemy, who has striven to take from
us our liberty, and would not hesitate now to
deprive my poor client of his land, by making
any sort of a red-coated statement
