Jcllerson had delivered his horse into the hands, of the ostler, and walked into the tavern to make arrangements in regatd to his fare. Some one touched Boydcii upon the elbow and directed his attention to the stranger who was standing with his whip in his hand, striking it occasionally upon his muddy leggins. Boy dm turned round and surveyed him from head to foot, and cent hiding him to be an old farmer from the country, w hose company would add no credit to the house, he said abruptly "We have no room for you, sir.' Jefferson did not hear the remark, and a?ked if he could be accommodated with a room. His oice, which was commanding and attractive, occasioned another suncy of his person, by the honest proprietor of the house, whose only care was for its reputation. J I c could not find, however, in his plain dress, pretty well covered with mud. any thing indicating either wealth or distinction, and in his usual rough sly 1c, he said 'A loom!"

On the lUth cf April, 1775, a band f patriots known as the Massachusetts congress, and over whom the lamented Warren presided, had assembled at a church in Beliingham, a few miles from Boston, to deliberate upon the aflitirs and condition of the co'onv. Among the number were the Selectmen of the town, a minister ef the parish, and the leading and most respectable citizens. In the mhk-1 of their deliberations, a King's fliccr came dashinp- no to ihe porch, and supposing the meeting to be of a religious character, called out : o t the Chairman of the Selectmen, and in formed him that the Slici itP had received orders to issue election warrants to the Selectmen, 'and thereupon placing a letter in his hand containing the precept for that town, he again gallopped away. The Selectmen returned to the conclave, and after some further deliberation, it was determined to join the colonists, and openly strike for liberty. The next day news arrived of the disastrous conflict at Lexington, and the murder of Amciican citizens by Biilish soldiers. To arms! to aims! was the cry that.raa through every hamlet, and kindled the patriot (ire, in every breast. Prom this moment important events followed each other in rapid succession. The brave Warren, true to the pledge made at the old church, led his injured cotinfrymen on to victory, but unfortunately found an early grave amid the slaughter of Bunker Hill. Years rolled on, liberty triumphed, and peace once more smiled upon the lata!. But w here were they who had gathered round the sacred altar of the Beliingham church on the 10th Apiil, i?7o? Scarcely one remained lo tell the st.uy of that meeting, and among the absent, (he Selectmen, like Waiion, had laid down their lives for their country. I'oily years af-

Always to pav particular attcntiop. lo the boundary fences of the farm; certain! v to those which serve as division fences between me ana mv neighbors. It can hardly be questioned that two thirds of the difficulties and hard feelings w hich exist among neighbors, spring from this very source. A lawsuit and a protracted quarrel has been bequeathed to the third generalion in consequence of a single neglect ed rail. This source of contention may be stopped in the very bud, by a little attention to the fences in the spring of the year, and occasional repairs .as they are required. 11 a man was to judge by the condition of the fences on many farms, by the lop rails, fallen oil' and lying rolling in the grass, bv the unruly cattle, sheep and horses that seem to hae taken undisputed possession, Ik would arrive at the conclusion that the owner thought it beneath him to pick up a rail, replace a post, or pile a few stones that may have fallen down. Many farmers adopt a course, of all others the best adapted to make their animals unruly and troublesome. If few rails get down, or a top bar or (wo tails, instead ol making a thorough re pair of the damage at once, they go to work by piece-meal, and adding a rail or a bar at a time, give their cattle am colls the very practice necessary to en able them to obtain perfection injump mg; a practice which rtualy fails of complete success. It may be laid down as a maxim, that one uiuuly ox or horse, or even sheep, when not confined, but allowed lo inn at large or with thooth ti'sdotk, ou the farm, will occasion more damage during a season than they arc woith; not (o speak ol the vexation am

The story told of the Irish squire is a curious instance of this putting-off-lill-lo-mor-row system. The fate of his estate depended on a baler from him reaching Dublin by a given time. lie had a week to write it in. and of course here was time enough; and the last day found the letter unwritten.

Phis rule must be inflexible; or if not ibsolutt ly so, the only exception must be in the purchase of hind. The man who is in debt is a slave; he can never look his creditor in the face without feeling that he had voluntarily sold himself. For the man in debt to talk of be ing independent is ridiculous; he dare not be so; will a man speak, or act, or vote against a man, however much he may detest him, or he deserve to be detested, w ho has only to say the w ord, and he can strip him of his property and turn him and ids family into the street? He must have studied human nature to little purpose, who believes the man in debt is fine. The man who runs in debt, always makes the hardest bargains. The man who pays down, will save twenty dollars in the hundred in our market. He is besides, never pestered with laying for dead properly, or property which he has worn out, eaten, or which is destroyed. By running ii; debt a few limes, a man accquires the habit of purchasing a thousand things of which he does not stand in need ; one of the very worst habits a farmer can acquire, and which is sure, if persisted in, to reduce him to poverty. Never buy an article because it is cheap, till you have enquired whether you cannot as well do without it as to have it; and whether the money you must use cannot be more profitably employed. If you need a thing, pay for it; and save your 20 per cent, by paying your merchant, your mechanic, your day laborer, )our bookseller and your printer, down. TI1U IMTiat KIT. A l'uu rie a i. Joki:.

Some time after the conclusion of the Revolution, a young American was present in aBritish play-h-.u-e, where an interlude was performed in redicule of his countrymen. A number of American officers being introduced in tattered uniforms and bare feet, the question was put to them severally", "What was your trade before you entered into the army ?" One answered, a tailor, another, a coblerj 6cc. The wit of thepeiccwas to show, the low origin and extreme poverty of our forefathers, being without clothes and shoes. The American exclaimed from the gallery, '"Great Britian beaten by tailors and coblers! huzza!'' Even the prime minister, who was present, could not help smiling, amidst the general laughter. As there ate none so weak, that we may venture lo injure them wilh impunity, so there are none so ore, that they may at some time be able to repay an obligation. Therefore, what benevolence would dictate prudence would, confirm. For he that is cautious of insulting the weakest, and not above obliging the lowest, will have attained such habits of forebcarance and of complacency, as will secure him (he good will of all that .ire beneath him," and (each him how to .avoid the enmity of all that are above him. For he that would net bruise even a worm, will still be more cautious how He treads upon a set peni. There is nc kind of poverty more distressing han that which sometimes overtakes people of rank, or those who conceive themselves obliged to maintain the appearance of high standing in community, without the means of supporting such standing. A ioou Gi:.ntlemax is therefore, commonly a more distressed person than an acknowi.eikjeii peck; ail Tin: very Latest. One of the journals tells a story of a young man who bad quit the mansion of Sir Richard Rum, in a state of extreme discomfuddlemenl. It happened that one of the city bells began lo ring for lire.
