In con versation with one who knew him inti mately from his boyhdod up, and whose own soul seems to have-been moulded in the same noble fOrm, a casual occurrence was related, which so eminently marks the 'man that I beg leave to all& it. My informant had stepped ilito.,Selves's, and; observing Mr. L"Homnuilieu with a basket, had the curiosity to watch He was directing what should be put into it—every delicacy in turn, oysters, birds, jellies, the best wines, &c. Having finish ed, inquiry was made what he could possi bly do with ,such an array of delicacies I "Oh !" replied "very easily dis posed of." "Well," said my informant, "I don't be lieve I could do better than to follow, so lead on." "That you will hardly do, I am afraid : the place may not be so inviting as you imagine." The fact is, my friend suspected his ob ject, and being on such terms as allowed him the privilege, they left together. After a walk of some distance, L'llommedieu turns into a dark lane in the suburbs of the city, and, groping his way along to the back entrance of a very humble tenement, he enters, closely followed by his compan ion. "Well aunty," how do you do to-day ? better, I hope.' , . "Oh, yes, sir. The doctor says Lam. a heap better ; indeed, I feel so." , "Glad to hear it ; the doctor then comes regularly ?" "Yes, indeed ; he said you told him he musn't miss me." "That's right. Here's a basket, aunt• ; you need these little things now, so help yourself. Any thing more you want!" "No, sir, no," replied the old woman,• the tear standing in her eye ; "'Cod bless you, no. '' Here was an aged colored woman, who, when in health, had been the laundress of Mr. L'Hommedieu. Missing her usual calls, he had searched her out, ministered to her wants, even to every delicacy the markets could afford, and though she was far wasted by a rapid consumption, she was daily and faithfully attended to the Last. If those to whom a kind Providence has committed the dispensation of his almo nies, can lie pown with as many pleasant memories as Richard F.

CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL Marshall was noted for extreme plain ness of address, and a childlike simplici ty of character. His carelessness of his personal attire, in early life particularly, is well known, and on one occasion (as sta ted in the Literary Messenger.) while travelling, occasioned his being refused ad mittance into a public house. On the oc casion which we are now to relate, it caused him the loss of a generous fee. Marshall, when just rising:on the profes sional ladder, was one morning strolling through the streets of Richmond, attired in a plain linen roundabout and shorts, with his hat under his arms, from which he was eating cherries, when he stopped on the porch of the Eagle Hotel, indulged in some little iileasantry with the landlord, : and passed on. Mr. P., an elderly gentle man from the country, then present, who had a case coming on before the court of appeals, was referred by the landlord to .Marshall, as the best advocate for him to employ ; but the carelesS, languid air of the .young lawyer had so prejudiced Mr. P.. that he refused to engage him. On en tering court, Mr. P. was a second time re ferred to him.by - the clerk of the court, and a second time he declined. At this moment entered Me. V., a venerable look ing legal gentleman, in a _powdered wig and black coat, whose dignified appear ance produced such an impression upon Mr. I'., that he at at once engaged him.— ; In the first case which came on, Marshall I and Mr. V. both addressed the court.— The vast inferiority of his advocate, was so apparent, that at the close of the case, Mr. P. introduced himself to young:Mar i shall, frankly stated the prejudice which had caused him, in opposition to advice, to employ Mr. V.; that he extremely 're gretted his error, but knew not how to re ! f medy - lt. He had come into the city with one hundred dollar's as his lawyer's tee, which he had paid, and had but five left, which he would Cheerfully give him for assisting in the case.. Marshall, pleased , with the incident, accepted the offer ; not, however, without passing a sly joke at the omnipotence of - a powdered wig and black coat. Marshall was accustomed to go to !market, and frequently unattended. No ! thing was more usual than to see him re turning at sunrise, with poultry in one hand and vegetables in the other. On one of these occasions, a would-be fashionable young man from the North, who had recently removed to Richmond, was swearing violently because lie could hire no one to take home his turkey.— Marshall stepped up, and, ascertaining of him where he lived, replied, "That is my wok, and I will take it for 3-ou." When arrived at his dwelling, the young man in “ittired, "What shall I pay you ?” "0, I noThing," was the rejoinder, "you arc wel ! come; it was on my way and no trouble." "Who is that polite old gentleman who brought home my turkey for me ?" in quired the other of abystander,'as Marshall Istepped away. "That," replied he, "is I John Marshall, Chief Justice of the United States." The young man, astounded, ex claimed, "Why did he bring home my turkey ?" "To give you a severe repri- I mand, and teach you to attend to your own business," was the ans wer. • MARSHAL Men Air was the very man to become at once popular with an excitable and imaginative people. His handsome person, his dash and briliancy, his reputa tion for romantic and chivalrous courage, his winning "mile, and affable manner, prepossessed the Neapolitans in his favor, and they joyfully received him in exchange for Joseph. But the dashing commander was not of the stuff of which kings should be made; still less was he the man to found and consolidate a new dynasty, and reduce to order a fickle and divided nation. Strong-handed, but weak-headeda capi tal man of action, but valueless at the coun cil-board—Murat's place was at the head of charging squadrons. There he was a host in himself; in the cabinet he was a cipher. He was not equal even to the or ganization of the troops whom, in the field, lie so effectively handled. His good na ture rendered him unwilling to refuse a favor, and as there were no fixed and stringent regulations for th! appointment and promotion of officers, the higher posts of his army were often most inefficiently occupied. "He could never resist the sup plications of the courtiers, still less the en treaties of the ladies about the court."— And again, "Murat was a Charles XII. in the field, but a Francis I. in his court. He would have regarded the refusal of a favor to any lady of the court, even though she were nat his mistress, as an indignity."— His debonnaire faculty was so well known that the people used to waylay him in ,the street with a petition and ink-stand, and he often signed, without inquiry, things that should never be granted. "One day he was returning from the Campo di Matte, when a woman, in tears, and holding a pe tition in her hands, stood forward to pre sent it no him. His horse, frightened at the sight of the paper, kicked and reared, ! and ended by \ throwing his majesty some distance frOm the spot. After swearing , roundly, in the French fashion, Joachim' took the paper and granted its request— the life Of the woman's husband who was to have been exectited the following day." , A Mini Asnrum,—Sir Andrew Ag gnew being asked what was a "moral en gine," replied; "A railway engine which does not run on Sunday !" "FEARLESS AND FREE." MURAT • • A MELTING STORY . One winter evening, a country store keeper, in the Green Mountain' State, was about closing his store for the night, and while standing in the snow outside, putting up the window shutters, he saw through the glass a lounging, worthless fellow, grab a pound of fresh butter from the shelf, and conceal it in his hat. The act was no sooner detected, than the revenge was hit upon, and a very few minutes found the mischievous storekeeper at once indulging his appetite for fun to,the fullest extent, and paying off the thief with a facetious sort of torture, for which he might have gained a - premitm front theold inquisition. I say, Seth," said the store-keeper (tom- Mg in, and closing the door after him, slapping his hand over his shoulders, and stamping the snow off his feet. Setif had his hand on the door, his hat upon his head, and the roll of butter in his hat, anxious to make his exit as soon as possible. "I say, Seth, sit down; I reckon now, on such an e-ter-nal night as this, a leetle somethin' would'nt hurt a fellow." Seth felt very uncertain. Ile had the butter and was exceedingly anxious to be, off, but the temptation of something warm sadly interfered with his resolution to go. The hesitation, however, was soon settled by the right owner of the buttep 'taking Seth by the shoulders and planting hint in a seat close to the stove, where he was in such a manner cornered by barrels and boxes, that whilst the grocersat before hint There. was no possibility ofgetting'out, and right in this, sure enough, the store-keeper sat down. ' , Seth we'll hi:we a little warm Santa Cruz," said the Green Mountain grocer; so he opened the stove door, and stuffed in as many sticks as the,,space_would_ admit ;' "without it you'd freeze going home such a night as this." Seth already felt the butter settling down closer to his hair, and jumped up, declar ing lie must go. "Not until you have hail - something warM, Seth. Seth, comei - rve got a story to tell you, too. sit down now ;" and Seth was - again pushed into hisseat by his cun ning' tormentor. "Oh! it's to darned hot here," said the petty thief, attempting to rise. •Sit down—sit down—don't be in such a plagny hurry," retorted the.grocer, push ing him hack into his chair. “But I've got the cows to fodder, and some wood to split, and I must be going," ,said the persecuted chap. "But you mus'nt tear yourself away, Seth, in this manner. Sit down; let the cows take (=arc of themselves, and keep yourself cool ; you appear - to be fidgety," said the roguish grocer, with a wicked leer. The next thing was the production of two smoking glasses of hot rum toddy, the very sight of which, in Seth's present con dition, would have made the hair stand e rect upon his head, had it not been well oiled and kept down by the butter. "Seth,. I'll give you a toast now, and you can butter it yourself,'Lsaid the grocer, with an air of s uch , consummate simplicity, that poor Seth still believed himself unsus pected. Seth, here's—here'sl Cristmas goose, well roasted and basted, eh.? I tell you that it's the greatest eating in creation. And, Seth, don't you never use hog's fat or common cooking butter to baste with— come, take your butter—l mean, Seth, take your toddy." Poor Seth now began to smoke as well as melt, and is mouth was as hermetical ly sealed up as though he had been born dumb. Streak after streak of the butter came pouring froth under his hat, and his handkerchief was already soaked with the greasy overflow. Talking away, as if no thing was the matter, the grocer kept stuf fing the wood into the stove, while poor Seth sat bolt upright, with his back against the counter, and his knees almost touching the red-hot furnace before. "Plagued cold night this," said the gro cer. "Why, Seth, you seem to prespire as if you Were warm! • Why don't you take your hat off? Here let me put ydur hat away." . "No !" exclaimed poor Seth at last, with a spasmodic effort to get his tongue loose, clapping both hand upon his hat. "No, I must go, let me out, ! ain't well ; let me go!" A greasy cataract was now pouring down the poor fellow's face and neck, and soak ing into his clothes, and trickling down his body into his very boots, so that he was literally in a perfect bath of oil. "Well, good night, Seth,"•taid the hu morous Vermonter, "if you will go!" and adding as he left, "neighbor, I reckon the fun I've had out of you is worth a nine pence, so I shant charge you for that pound of butter." THECASE WITH SOME LADIES.—A young lady observed, « When I go to the theatre, I am very careless of my dress, as the au dience are too attentive to the play to ob serve my wardrobe ; but when I go to church; ' I am very particular in•nty out ward appearance, as most people go there to see how their neighbors _dress . and de port themselves. " . ' • CON.—"Sam, is you 'quainted with any legal pitmen ob dis place !" "None 'cept by repudiation—reputation I metis,", "Well, den ( why am lawyes like fishes ?" "I dosn't meddle with that subject at all." 'linse they ant fond ob de-bate!" THE CORPORAL.—During the Ameri cap—Revolution, it is said_ that an officer, not habited in his military costume, was passing where a small company of soldiers were at work making some 'repairs on a small redoubt. The comMander of the little squad was giving orders to those who were under him, relative to a stick of tim -ber which they were endeavoring to raise to the top of the works. The timber went up hard, and on this account the voice of the little great man was often heard in his regular vociferations of "Heave away! there she goes! Heave ho !" The officer before spoken of, stop ped his hose when he arrived at the place, seeit*theftimbersontetimes scarcely move, asked the commander why he did not take hold and render a little aid. The latter appeared to be somewhat astonished; turn ing to the officer with all the_pomp of an emperor, said, "Sir I am a corporal !" "You are not, though, arc you?"said the 'officer, "I was not aware of that." And taking off his hat and bowing : "I ask your pardon, Mr. Corporal."- Upon this he dismounted his elegant steed, flung the bri dal over a post, and lifted till the sweat stood in drops upon his fore head. When the timber was elevated to its proper star tion, turning to the man clothed in brief authority, "Mr. Corp. Commander," said he, "when you have another such a job and have net enough of men, send - to your commander-in-chief, and I will come and help you a second time." The corporal Was thunder struck ! It was Washington. AN EDITOR'S BENEvoLsmcz —We find in the New York Cummerchil Advertiser, the following story An Editorial brother was passing along a thonroughfare in the city, when he ob served an Unhappy- family of immigrants— father, mother, and eleven children, the latter wasted and wan, thinly clad,-and-en tirely barefooted—trudging shiveringly through the snow. The appeal was si lent butt it was irresistable—the whole group were taken into a neighboring shoe store and provided with shoes at the ex pense of our editorial brother, who left not the suffering group until they were'safely housed and their further exposure provided 'against. God bless him for his. noble deed. , • .We say.amen to that prayer, for the loving anil the kind deserve God's blessing. A PHILOSOPHER IN THE,,Pooft HousE.— Among the three thousand foreigners now confined in the AlmS House of New York, is . a learned German, Dr. Heidlberg, who was once a preacher, then a professor in the Berlin and Halle Universities, an au thor, a doctor of philosophy, a rationalist, and now (alitiost of course) a pauper.— lie came to this cmthtry about two years ago, where he thought his great learning would find a market. He is a master of Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French and Ger man languages, a bitter reviler oftlie Chris tian religion, and at the same time the ob ject of Christian charity. It is said that he has been brought to his preseni condi tion by the united influence of his infidel' principles and the worst species of intern perance. When Tom Paine turned "Phi losopher" he was nearly in the same pre dicament. DEATH OF A POWERFUL MONARCH.- A great Emperor of India, little known in Europe, but who, nevertheless, was the Chief of thirty millions of men, has recently died. We mean Min-IVleah, the ruler of Anam, Sovereign of all Cochin-China, of 'rompkin and of Camhodia. The event is important. Min-Mesh, after the exam ple of the Emperor of Japan, and the for mer example of the Emperor of China, had constantly refused all relations with foreigh power?, It is said that his succes sor is determined to open the ports of the empire of Anam to the vessels of all com mercial nations. INDIA. RUDDER Tnee.---The India rub ber tree which grows on the island of Lo bos, is quite a curiosity to our troops. A writer, describing one, says :—"lt here at tains the height of %%feet, and the branch es strike down to the earth, take root, grow, and become bodies to the tree. We saw one which was cut down that had 31 trunks. The milky juice flows out in quantities upon the least wound being made through the hark." VARIETV AT SEA.—A traveller, less dif fuse than travel-writers in general, sums up his passage from England to America in the following lines : Two things break the monotony Of an Atlantic trip; • Sometimes, alas ! we '•ship a sea," And sometimes "see a ship." A. CURIOUS CAUSE OF WAR.—In the year 1005, some soldiers of the common wealth of Modena ran away with a bucket from a public well, belonging/to the State of . Bologna. This implement might be worth a shilling ; but it produced a bloody quarrel, which was worked up into a bloody war. Henry, the king of Sardinia, and son of the Emperor Henry the Second, assist ed the Modenese to keep possession of the bucket; and in one of the battles he was made prisoner. His father, the Emperor, offered a chain of gold that would encircle Bologna, which is seven miles in compass, for his son's ransom, but in vain: After twenty-two - years' imprisonment, and his father being dead, lie pined away and died. His monument Is still extant in the church of the Dominicans." This fatal bucket is' still exhibited in the tower Of ; the cathedral of 'Modena, enclosed in . an irott cage.. TERMS-TWO DOLLARS YET!..4I4ICIL'M IWHOLE .

Nobody seemed inclined to take him up, however, till at last a weather-beaten New England skipper, in a pea jacket, stumpt him, by exclaiming: "Darned if I don't bet you! But stop; let me see if all's right." Then taking up and inspecting it, as if to see that there was no deception in he returned it to the table, and began to fumble about, in a side-pocket, first taking out a jack-knife, then a twist of tobacco. &c.; till he• produced a roll of_ bank notes, from which he took out one of 11010.,end handed it to a by-stander ; the gambler did the same, and taking out -a pen-knife : and literally cutting the pack in two through the Middle, turned with an air of triumph to the company, and , demanded if he,had not cut the Jack of hearts. . . “No!

RUSSIA AND CIRCASSiA.7—II may be some 1 . relief. to our own war rumors to..know 'what is going on between the Russians and the Circassians. Tho origin of the war was a simple and natural one. The Otto , tnan Porte surrendered Circassia to Rtis sia by treaty, and the Circassians with great unanimity deny. the right.Of the. Su ltan to transfer them to any European pow er. It has resulted in a war which Russia has been unprofitably waging for several years. The Frankfort ..lournal, in a, posi tion to receive the latest news, has recent intelligence from Tifflis that the weather has 'not prevented vigorous military ope rations in the Caucasus. The Chief Mu rides is far from being discouraged by the Russian success; for . four days after the battle near Rataschi, 4000 Tschetshenees passed the Torek, carried the outposts and bore off considerable booty into the moun tain. Daniel, at the head of 2000 of those troops sent by Schamyl, made an inroad into Cachetia, where he has been fighfing the Russians on the Konben. *seer Bey has taken up arms against Rusiia and carries with him a portion of the Abases. Schamyl is exhibiting wonderful energy, and is preaching a holy war against the Emperor Nicholas as far as Erzeronni.— Notwithstanding the most favorable bulle tins issued from St: Petersburg, it in that the state of affairs in Circassia at this time is any thing but favorabli-to Ruisia. LIME Os APPLE l i dets.—An old fart* of much discrimination observed to us re cently, that he made it a regular practice for several years, to sow caustic lime 'a round his apple trees, in the 'prink. had noticed that a tree standing in the . bid mediate vicinity of his dwelling, had all it . once put forth with renewed energy, and he was at a loss for some time to ` account for the cause. On inquiry, hi founit *at a quantity of lime, which had accidentally been spilled, and rendered, worthless by becoming mixed with the refuse of the'sta ble floor, had been thrown at the fOot of the tree, and to this as the prineiple cause, he immediately assigned the revivisence 'and renewed fructification of the tree. Tat- - king the hint.from this accident, he pur chased twelve casks of limo, and applied half a bushel to each tree, and found that it immediately produced beneficial effects.— Not the health of the trees only; but the quality of the fruit was greatly improved. We would advise our readers to make a trial of this experiment and see Whether it is deserving the high recommendation it receives.-41aine Cultivator.
