THE PENSIONER OF WATERLOO. "Ah well I recollect the time, 'Twas in tho glorious sunshine prime, 'Twas in the month of June, A soldier's coat I first put on, First gloried in a soldier's gun, And raarch'd to gallant tune, Merrily, merrily marchM we, then, A thousand bravo and happy men. Happy, and brave, and young and gay, Where'er we went, 'twas holiday; And crowds came forth to see; Bright eyes their sweetest glances cast On each gay soldier as he past; And joyous men were we; Their prayers pursued us to the main, We now were on the route to Spain. A thousand gallant hearts were we, As ever pour'd their life-blood free, Or cross'd the salt-sea foam To battle as 'twas right we should, To scorn the tempest, fire, and flood, And die to save our Home: A very worthy deed I wist, To die for such a home as thisv When victory sat upon our swords, How gratitude made knights and lords, And towns flamed up in light! Wealth, honour, praises, all were shed, Like rain, upon each noble head, For such a glorious fight We, all the while who struck the blow, Had nothing but our wounds to show. We fought in every field of fame, Like blood-hounds, staunch upon the game; The eagle quail'd at last. -Death, like a mower, o'er us stood, And victory held the feast of blood, It was a rich repast, And then rose up a wild halloo 'Twas England shouting Waterloo! A thousand gallant souls were we, When first we crossed the rolling sea . As buoyant as its waves; Five hundred soldiers nobly slain, Fed the wild crows of France and Spain, Or filled their Flemish graves, Tired, wounded, sick, a ghastly band, One hundred sought their native land. Honours and rich rewards are mine, A medal on my breast to shine, It plays a gallant part And seem my very heart to goad When scraping dirt from off the road, Or yoked in Quarry cart I, who have toil'd, and fought and bled, Am doom'd to earn inhuman bread! My pension for our grateful land Pours bounty with unsparing hand, And scatters all her hoard, Six pence a day is all she gives, How merrily an old soldier lives Go, ask the Parish board, It seizes it the hour 'tis due A glorious fight was Waterloo."

SIR MATTHEW HALE. AJgentlemanofconsiderable independence at had two sons, the eldest of whom caused him much anxiety, from his dis?ipated character and conduct: the young man himself, tired of restraint, asked permission to go to iome foreign clime, which was readily granted, and a sum of money advanced him for that purpose. He had not, however, long left home, before the hip he was on board of was taken by the Algerines, and consequently he was taken prisoner to Algiers, where he remained a considerable number of years without the least opportunity of his sending, or hearing from home; at length, however, he fo ft una tely'e fleeted his escape, and returned to his native land, almost destitute of clothing, and entirely pennyless; when he arrived at the village where he drew his first breath, to his first inquiry he was informed that his father had been dead many years, and his younger brother in full possession of the estates; on this information he proceeded immediately to his brother's houe, where on his arrival, he stated who he was, and recounted his misfortunes. He was at first received with evident tokens of surprise: but what was his astonishment, after his brother had a little recovered himself, to find that he (the younger brother) was determined to treat him as an impostor, and ordered him to quit the house, for that he had a number of witnesses to prove the death of his elder brother abroad! Being thus received, he returned to the village, but met with no succes?, as those who would have been likely to give him assistance were either dead, or gone away; in this predicament he succeeded in finding an attorney at a little distance, to whom he related the circumstances exactly as they stood, and re quested his advice. The attorney seeing the desperate state in which the affair stood, observed that as his brother was in possession, he would be likely to have recourse to every unjust means, by suborning witnesses, &x; but, however, he would undertake to advocate his cause, on condition that if he proved successful, he should be paid a thousand pounds; if the contrary, said the attorney, (as you have nothing to give) I shall demand nothing: to this propo' sal, of course, the elder brother agreed. It should he remarked lhat at this time, bribery and corruption were at such a' pilch, that it was no uncommon circumstance for judge, jury, &zc. in short, the whole court, to be perverted on one side

tm tliA yi J tin r lawpor nnlitratto rnn. !

U klllS Vlllbl , tub III J VI IIIIIUIHII v..eluded, this being the case, that the elder brother stood but a very indifferent chance, although he himself had no doubt of the validity of . his claim; in this dilemma he resolved to take a journey to London, and lay the case before Sir Matthew Hale, then Lord Chief Juticeof the King's Bench, a character no less conspicuous for his abilities than for his unshaken integrity and strict impartiality. Sir Matthew heard the re lation of the circumstances with patience, as likewise the attorney's sus picions of the means that would be adopted to deprive the elder brother of his right. He (Sir Matthew) desired him to go on with the regular process of the law and leave the rest to him. Thus matters rested until the day of trial came on; a few days previous to which, Sir Matthew left home, and travelled till he came within a shoit distance of the town where the matter was to be decided, when passing a miller's house, he directed his coachman to stop while he alighted from his carriage, and went into the house; after saluting the miller, he told him he had a request to make, which he hoped would be complied with, which was, to exchange clothes with him, and allow him to leave his carriage, &c. there until he returned (in a day or two). The miller at first thought Sir Matthew was joking; but on being convinced to the contrary, he would fain have fetched his best suit; but no, Sir Matthew would have none but the working dress the miller had on; the exchange was soon affected, and Sir Matthew, equipped with the miller's clothes, hat, and wig, proceeded on foot the following morning. Understanding the trial between the two brothers was to take pUce that day, he went early to the yard of the court hall, without having had communication with any one on the subject. By mixing in the crowd, he had soon an opportunity of having the elder brother pointed out to him. He soon after accosted him with kVell my friend, how is your cause likely to go on?" 41 do not know, (replied he,) but lam afraid but badly, for I have every reason to suppose thut both judge and jury are deeply bribed; and for myself, having nothing but the justice of my cause to depend on, unsupported by the property which my brother can command, 1 have but faint hopes ol succeeding.' He then recounted to the supposed miller the whole of his tale, and finished by informing him of the agreement which had taken place between him and the lawyer: although Sir Matthew was in possession of the principal part of the circumstances, yet the ingenuous relation he had now heard left no doubt in his mind of his being the person he represented himself and consequently heir to the estate in question. Sir Matthew being determined to act accordingly, he, with this view, begged of his elder brother not to be low spirited on the subject, 'for (says he,) perhaps it may be in my power to be of service to you 1 don't know that it will, being, as you see, but a poor miller, but I will do what 1 can: if you will follow my advice, it can do you no harm, and may be of use to you.' The elder brother willingly caught at any thing that might give the least prospect of success, and readily promised to adopt any reasonable plan he might propose. 'Well, then,' says the pretended miler,'when the names of the jury are called over, do you object to one of them, no matter whom; the judge will perhaps ask you what your objections are; let your reply be, 1 object to bin by the rights of an Englishman, without giving my rersons why; you will then perhaps be asked whom you would wish to have in the room of the one you have objected to: should that be the case, I'll take care to be in the way; you can look round and carlessly mention me. If I am empannelled, al though 1 cannot promise, yet I entertain great hopes ol being useful to you.' The elder brother promised to follow these directions, and shortly after the trial came on, when the names of the jury were calling over, the elder brother as he had been instructed, objected to one of them. 4 And pray,' says the judge, in an authoritative tone, 'why do you object to that gentleman as a juryman?" 41 object to him, my j lord, by the rights ol an knglishman, without giving my reasons why.' And whom,' says the judge do you wish to have in the room of that gentleman?" "I would wish to have an honest man, my lord, no matter who,' looking round suppose yon miller be called.' 'Very well says his lordship, Met the miller be sworn.' He was accordingly called down from the gallery where he had been standing in view of the elder brother, and empannelled with the rest of the jury. He had not been long in the box when he-observed a little man very busy with the jury, and presently he came and slipped live guineas into his hand, intimating it was a present from the younger brother; and after his departure the miller discovered, on inquiry of his neighbors, that each of them had received double that sum.1

He now turned his whole attention to1 the trial, which appeared to lean decidedly in favor of the younger brother; the witnesses having sworn, point blanks to the death and burial of the elder brother. His lordship proceeded to sum up the evidences, hut without taking notice ot several palpable contradictions which had taken place between the younger brother and his witnesses. After having expatiated with perfidy on every evidence in favor of the younger brother, he concluded; and the jury being questioned in the usual manner if they were all agreed, the foreman was about to reply, not expecting any opposition; when the mil ler stepped forward, calling out,No my lord,' we are not all agreed !' 4 And pray,' says his lordship, 'what objections have you, old dusty wig?' 1 have many objections, my lord: in the first place, all these gentlemen of the jury have received ten broad pieces of gold from the vounger brother, and I have received but five1.' He then proceeded to point out the contradictory evidence which had been adduced, in such a strain of eloquence, that the court was lost in astonishment; the judge at length unable longer to contain himself, called out with vehemence, 4 Who are you? where did you come from? what is your name?1 To which interrogatories the miller replied: 41 came from Westminster Hall my name is Matthew Hale I am Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench; and feel ing, as I do, a thorough conviction of your unworthiness to hold so high ajudicial situation, from having observed your iniquitous and partial proceedings

this day, I command you to come down from that tribunal which you have so much disgraced, and 1 will try this cause myself.' Sir Matthew then ascended the bench in the miller's wig, Sec. had a new jury empannnelled re examined all the witnesses, proved them to have been suborned; and circumstances being completely turned, the case was decidedly pronounced in favor of the elder brother's rights. A Kentucky Trick. The Kentucky horse Snowball was advertised to run a race of a thousand yards against any horse in the Union, for $1000 a side, on the Central Course, Baltimore. The challenge was accepted by the owner of the Maryland mare Arietta. When the Kentuckians appeared on the ground, Snowball was apparently suf fering from lameness, and the bets were two to one against him. Kentucky, however, came off victorious; he won the race by fix inches only. It is not doubted that Snowball was learned to feign lameness, for the purpose of ex-, citing bets against him. The Ken tuckians pocketed the stakes, and went off in high glee. Say no more of Yankee tricks. We were not in the habit of giving horse racing intelligence, but ihis trick from Kentucky is worthy of being hawked about in print by a Connecticut pedlar.

Deny every thing, and insist vpon -proof . Lawyer Acmody figured at the bar in Essex county, Massachusetts, something like half a century ago. He had a student named Varnum, who having just completed his studies, was journeying to a distant town in company with his master. Acmody, on his, way, observed to his student "Vainum, you have been with me three years, and finished your studies, hut there is one. important part of a lawyer's practice, of great consequence, that I have never men-! Honed.11 "Wliat is that?'1 inquired the student. "I will tell it," replied Acmody, "provided you will pay expenses at tho next taTem." The student agreed and Arrnody imparted the maxim at the head of this article. The supper &c. were procured and on preparing to set oilYrom the tavern, Acmody reminded Varnum that he had engaged to pay the hill, 'I deny every thing, and insist upon proof,1 returned Varnum. Tlx joke was so good, that Acmody concluded it best to pay the hill. Aronsieur Tonson come again.
