A common tuing, by all alike possessed.
W\ Lilst fortune smiles, and plenty fills your

Whilst copious draughts your cheering
vaults afford ; »
Whilst rosy bealth supports the human

Whilst credit lasts, and whilst exists your
Jame; Lx
Whilst you have plenty, and whilst cash

So long yor known—so dong you have a

But change the scene—let sickly fortune

You stand forsaken ; and, alas unknown!
Let wretched poverty and hunger press ;
Let want hang out the ensign of distress;
Let sore affliction sink thy feeble frame ;
Let cruel Slander wound thy honest Fame ;
Let Neighbors slight thee, and let credit fail;
Let sheriff's come, and creditor’s assail ;
Wheres then thy Friend ? Alas you search
in vain,
Self interest sways; unheeded you complain!
Alas! how oft in triendship’s garb arrayed,
Licception trimnphs—hapless man’s be-

But real friends are + rare as comets’ found.

character was tinged with those eccentrici-

was a dificult question to decide before the
court of Kentucky, involving an’ important
question in regard tothe title of ‘an estate.

GEN. BAUER,
In 1712, when the Russian army occupied
Holstein under Menzikoff, commanded the
cavalry. No one knew any thing obout his
origin 3 even his native country was almos®
a secret He was then encamped near Ha’
sum. One day he invited to dinner all his
brother officers, and some other persons
of distinction. When the party were as-
sembled, he sent for a miller and his wife
from the neighborhood. Such an invitd/
tion from a commanding officer alarmed the
worthy couple. But Bauer did every thing
in his power to inspire them with confi-
dence. He wished them to dine with him;
he wanted some information respecting the
country. They were seatedby him atta
ble, and during dinner he asked the miller a
number of questions concerning his family,
This had the desired effect and loosed ‘the
miller’s tongue. He related to his excel-
lency,« that the mill had belonged to his
father, that he inherited it as the eldest son,
Two brothers were tradesmen, a sister was
married to one of the same business; and
God bad blessed him with a family of four
clildren. ¢« So you were three brothers,”
said the general. There were four of us,”
answered the miller ; (who did not wish
perhaps to rank a famous soldier with mil
jers) «the fourth enlisted as a soldier, but
we have never heard of him ; he must have
been Killed.” ;

ler and his wife as their long lost brother.—
The next day he regaled them all in the mill

son to Berlin, wha afterwards had the honop
