But change the scene—let sickly fortune frowm, 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- trayed !

Colonel Duviess,who icil in the battle of the Wabash. was a man of high character, a na- tive of Kentucky. He was a Lawyey whose character was tinged with those eccentrici- tics that indicated future genius. There was a dificult question to decide before the court of Kentucky, involving an’ important question in regard tothe title of ‘an estate. The case embracing a long concatenation of When the case was calied, a Kentucky hunter, with his musket and bivd-bag, loaded with provi, facts and sundry technical nicities sions, all equiped and complete, entered the hali ani took his scat among the lawyers There was'a griu on the faces of the Bar, Court, Jury and Spectators. He, all uncon © scious, took out his provissons and began to The Lawyer, ou the side of the planuff, rose, and ¢at with the most perfect composure. made along argument. And who ahswers for the defendant? inquired the court. I do, replied the huatery aud rising, broke forth into a torrent of eloqueuce that aston- ished the court and jury. Away went the plaintifiilaw and evidence ; and so complete was the discomfiture, that the opposite "counsel made a most piteous reply. The jury found a verdict for the defend. ant without retiring from their seats, when the court adjourned and invited the stran. ger to their lodgings. « No, I thank you gentlemen ; and unless you will take a cold cut with me, I must begone.” So saying, he shouldered his musket, and with great sang Froid departed, Daviess. such a man was Col. 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.” ; Itis casy to conceive the effect this cons versation produced on the other guests — But Bauer would not notice their astonish. ment till he co aise it still higher — 0 ment till he could raise it still high \couragement by applying to the signed at Little Moshanon Estabi hisment « Gentlemen 1” he exclaimed, « you were always anxious to know my origin. 1 was born here, and you have heard the history of my family.” He then embraced the mil- ler and his wife as their long lost brother.— The next day he regaled them all in the mill where he was born, made valuable presents. to his relations, and sent the miller’s only son to Berlin, wha afterwards had the honop of propagating the hame of Bauer. Ph [It being the usual custom of the Roman gov ernors to advertise the senate and people of such material things ‘as happened, in their respective provinces; inthe days of Tyberius Cesar, the emperor Publius entulus, at that time being President, wrote the following ‘epistle to the Senate concerning Christ. ] 4 CONSCRIPTFATHERS, « There appeared in these our days a map of great virtue, named JesusCurist, who is yet living among us; and of the Gentiles is excepted for a prophet of truth; but his own disciples call him the Son of God.
