PAYING AN OLD DEBT. A merchant, very extensively engaged in m comerce, and located upon the - Long Wharf, died Febuary 18, 1800, at the age of seventy-five, intestate. His eldest son administered upon the estate. This old gen tleman used pleasantly to say, that, for ma ny 'years, he had fed a very -large number of the Catholics, on the shores of the medi terranean, &trim -, Lent, refering ro his very extensive connection with the - fishing busi ness. In his day he was certainly well known.; and to the present time is well re membered, by some,of the "old ones down along slthre," from the Gurnet's Nose to Race point. Among his papers, a package, of very considerable size, was found after his death carefully tied up, and labeled as follows :—"Notes, due-hills, and accounts against sundry persons, down along shore. Some of these may be got by suit or severe dunning. But the people are poor; most of them have had fishermen's luck. My chil dren will do as they think best. perhaps they }will think with me, that it is best to burn this package entire." "About a month," said my informant," after our father died, the sons met together, and, after some general remarks, our elder brother, time administrator, produced this package, of whose- existence we were alrea dy apprised, read the superscription, and ask ed what course should be taken in regard to it. Another brother, a few years younger than the eldest, a man of strong, impulsive temperament, unable at the moment to ex press his feeling by worlds, while he brush ed the tears-from his eyes with one hand, by a spasmodic jerk of the other, towards the fireplace, indicated his wish to have the pack age put into the flames. It was suggested, by another of our number, that it might be well, first to make a list of the debtors' names, arid of the dates, and amounts that we might be enabled, as the intended dis charge was for all, to inform such as might offer payment, that their debts were forgiv en.' On the following day, we again assem bled—the list had been prepared—and all the notes, due-bills, and accounts, whose amount-, including,interest, amounted to thir ty two thousand dollars, were committed to the flames. • lEEE "It was about four months after our fath er's death," continued my informant, "in the month of June, that,' ns I was sitting in my brother's counting-mem, waiting for an opportunity to speak With him, there came, in . a hard-favored, little old man, who look ed ns if time and rough weather had been to. windward of him for seventy . years. He asked if 'my brother was not the executor. lie replied that he was 'administrator, as our father died intestate. .Well,' said the stran ger, 'l've come up from the cape to pay a debt I owed the old geetletnan.' My broth er!", continued my informant, "requested him, to take a seat, being at the moment en gaged with other persons at the ,desk. "The old man sat down, and putting on his glasses, drew out a very ancientlenther pocket book, and began to count over his money. When he had done—and there was quite a parcel of bank notes—as ho sat milting his turn, Slowly twisting his thumbs with hts old_gray, mediiative eyes upon the floor, he sighed ; and I knew the ,money, ns the phrase runs, came hard.-and secret ly wished the old man's name might be found upon the forgiven :list. . My brother was soon at leisure, and Asked lthrt the com- ' mon questions—his name, etc. The origi nal debt was four hundred and forty dollars —it had stood a long time, and with the in terest, amounted to a 's In between seven and eight hundred. My brother went to his desk, and, after examining the forgiven list attentively, a sudden smile lighted up his countenance and told n e the truth at a glance—the old man's na • s there ! M v - brother - quietly took a chair by , s side and a conversation ensued between t em, which I never shall forget. 'Your n eis outlaw ed,' said my brother ; 'it wa dated twelve years ago, payable in two years ; there is no witness, and no interest has ever been paid ; you are not bound to pay this nate ; we can not recover the amount.' 'Sir,' said die old man, wish to pay it. It is the only 1121.- vy debt I have in the world. It may be out lawed here, but I have no child, and my old woman and 1 hope we have made our peace with God, and wish to do so with man. I should like to pay it,' and he laid his hank notes before my brother, requeSting him to count them over. cannot take this mon ey,' said my brother. The old man became alarmed. have cast simple interest for twelve years and a little over.' Said the old man. will pay you cpmpound interest, if you say so. The debt ought to have been paid long ago, but your father sir, was very indulgent—he knew I had been unlucky, and told me not to worry aboui it.' "My brother then set the whole matter plainly befi)re him, and taking the bank bills, returned them to the old man's pocket-book, telling him that, although our father left no formal will, he had recommended to his children to destroy certain notes, due-bills, and other evidences of debt, and release those who might be legaly bound to pay them. For a moment the worthy old man appeared to be stupefied. After he had col lected himself, and wiped a feW tears from his eyes, he stated that, from the time he had heard of our father's death, he had ra ked and scraped, and pinched - and spared, to get the money together, for the payMent of this debt. 'About ten,.days ago, said he had made up the surd'within twenty dol lars. My wife knew how much the pay ment of this debt lay upon my spirits, and advised me to sell a cow, and make up the dith!rence, and get the heavy burthen rainy spirits. I did so—and now what will my old woman say ! I must get back to the Cape and tell herthis good news. She'll proba bly say over the very words she said when she put her hand on my shoutder as we par ted have never seen the righteous man forsaken or his seed begging brewl.' Af ter a hearty shake of the hand, and a bles sing upon our old father's memo.y, he went upon his way rejoicing: "After a short silence—taking his pencil end making a cast-- , There,' said my broth er, 'your part of the amount would be so much—contrive a plan to convey to the your share of the pleasure, derived from this operation, and the money is at your ser- vice.' " Suci is the simple tale which I have told, as it was told to me. Reformation of Wm. Wirt. The distinguished William Wirt, within six or eight month after his first marriage, became addicted to intemperance, the ellect of which operated stronaly on the mind and health of his wife, and in a few months more she was numbered with the dead. Her Beath led him to leave the country where he resided, and he moved to Richmond. where he soon rose to distinction. But his habits hung about him; and occasionally he was found with jolly and frolicsome spirits' in bacchanalian revelry. His true friends expostulated with him, to convince him of the injury he was hoing himself. 'But he still persisted.—His practice began to fall ofF, and many looked on him as on the sure road to ruin.. He was advised to get mar ried, with a view of correcting his habits. This he consented to do, if the right person offered. He accordingly paid his addresses to bliss Gamble. A fter some month's attem tion, he asked her hand in marriage; she replied—" Mr. Wirt. I have been well aware of your intentions for some time back, and should have given you to understand that your visits and attentions were not accepta ble, had I not reciprocated tho affection which you' evinced for me. -But I cannot yield my assent until you make me a pledge never to taste, touch or handle any intoxica tingdrinks:" This reply to Mr. Wirt was as unexpected ns it was novel. His reply was that he regarded the proposition as a bar to all further consideration of the subject, and left her. Her course %vas the same as ever:-.--his, resentment and neglect. In the course of a few weeks he went again, and again solicited her hand. But her reply Was that her mind was made , up. He be. came indignant and regarded the terms she proposed as insulting to his honor; vowed that it should be the last meeting they should ever have. He took to drinking worse, and Worse, and seemed to be rushing . hendking to ruin. One day, while lying m the out skirts of the city, near a: little grocery, or grog shop dead drunk, a young lady, whom it is not now necessary to,name, was passing that way to her home, far Mk and beheld hiM with his face upturned to the rays of NUMBER 47. the scorching sun. She took - her hatidker- , chief, with her own name marked upon it, and placed it over his face. After he had remained in that way for some hours,•he was awakened, and his thirst being so great, he went into 'the little grocery or grogshop, to get a drink, and when he discovered. the handkerchief, at which he looked, and the name that was en it.—After pausing a few minutes, he exclaintecl"great God ; who left this with me ! Who placed this on my face !" No one knew. Ile drOpped the glass, exclaimed—" Enough ! Enough ! " Ile retired instantly from the store, forget ting*his thirst, not the bauch, the handker chief, or the lady, vowing, if God gave him Strength, never to touch, taste, or handle in tax icating ,t 1 rinks. To meet Miss. G. was the hardest effort of his life. If he met her in her carriage, or on foot, he would dodge round the nearest corner. She at last addressed him a note under her own hand, inviting him to her house, which he finally gathered courage enough to accept. He told her ;f she still bore affection for hint he would agree to her own terms. I Icr reply was ; "My conditions are now what they ever have been." 'Then,' said the disenthral led Wirt. "I accept them'. They were soon married, and from that day he kept his word, and his afThirs bright ened, while honors and glories gathered _thick_upon_his_braw. His imme_has been enrolled high in the temple of fame ; while his deeds, his patriotiSin and renown live after him with imperishable lustre. How many noble minds might the young ladies save, if they would follow• the example of the. heroine-hearted Miss G., the friend of humanity, of her country, and the relation of La Fayette. The French Barber. A story is related in one of the Parisian Journals of an adventure between the Colo nel of a regiment of regulars and a French biirber, which is characteristic of the times and the _nation. The Colonel, who was an officer of imposing appearance and haughty temper, inflamed by alcohol, went in the shop to be shaVed, and laid his loaded pistol on a small table, swearing that if the barber drew one drop of blood, or cut one hair from • his moustache, he would blow out his brains.— This threat caused the journeyman to hesi tate about assuming the perilous job. At this juncture, the master of the shop (who . was in the room, and heard all that trans pired) presented himself, and calmly bowing tendered his services. The Colonel scan ned him with some attention, for a moment , then flung himself back in the chair, opened his shirt collar, and grunting, humph ! told him to proceed. The ready barber, after making two or three flourishes with his ra zor, as if he had been a sword, shaved him in the most rapid and careless manner, but without drawing blood or cutting his mou stache ; then pausing an instant, to be sure of his performance, jerked the towel off his neck. 'When this was finished, the Colo nel took another inqub , itive stare at the bar ber, then glanced at his pistol, which lay within reach all the time, and lastly, looked, at himself in the glass, pulling at hiS mou stache, and examining under his chin for• blood : finding all was, right, he turned again on the barber, and, shaking his finger, said, "It is well for you, sir, no blood was drawn." The barber met his earnest congratulation with a malicious grin, and retorted—"No, but it is well for you, Colonel. If I had, drawn blood, I should have diseovered it before you could, and it was my advantage if such a predicament to have drawn the edge of the razor across your throat from ear. to ear. If you are Colonel of the army; I ant a Red Republican of the barricades."-. The Colonel, convinced how foolishly he had risked his life, reeled off, amidst the jeers of all the spectators,• but never return ed to that shop.
