Here were two sources of satisfaction, personal ease and contentment of his property. Then his wife had touched

a most agreeable vein, his magisterial dignity. Luckily fr Roger, she did not urge to the utmost. Squire llartwell had held the oft ice of justice of the peace for a nnmicr of years, and had only a week before the commencement of my story, re

ceived the additional honor ot "quorum lo his justiceship. Like all other novelties, this last honor seemed of far greater importance than his commission. Had his wife only said "justice of the peace and quorum," poor Roger would have, been a lost case. But now, after deliberately shaking the ashes from his pipe, Squire Hartwell set up in his chair with the bearing of a man who is intending to give impartial judgment, let the matter terminate as it tn.i -

in the path, he minded them no more than

he would done thistle down.

Dr. Walker increased his speed almost

to a run it would not do. Roger's strong grasp has thrown open the gate: he has entered, and with no little impetus he seut

the ponderous portal back to its station.

It shut with a loud bang, just as Walker reached it, bringing him up to a perpendicular as rigid as that of a Prussian grenadier. So closely vis a vis was he w ith the

gate, that his nose was slightly grazed by

the rush of air, his best beaver was thrown

trom his head, and rolled some distance m the dusty path.

Dr. Walker was greatly discomhttcd

and not a little enraged at the audacity of

his rival; but he well knew Roger was

not the man he could frighten; and as for

lighting such a lellovv, that was out ot the

question. So the doctor endeavored te calm and cool himself as he best might, wiped the perspiration from his brow, and

the dust trom his large shining silver hue

having recovered his composure, he walked leisurely forward to pay his respects to

Squire llartwell and the ladies. Chapter III. Polities. Freedom, patriotism, and philanthropy

these three emotions, viz: the love of lib

that individual will be mighty among his race. No matter to what station he is born, to what calling he has been destined there is that in his own breast which will bear him upward and onward. And the course and conduct w hich in a man of his

Lucy was so surprised, so confused, thai she w as obliged to lean on his arm for support, so there was no opportunity for her to show

much anger at his presumption. Roger soon forgot that he had ever been poor and a shoemaker. The first consciousness of being beloved, seems, to a young man, as the crowning point of his ambition. He

COURTESIES Or LIFE. A few days since an old gentleman formed one of the crowd around the general delivery window of our post office. Pushing and elbowing were the manners of the assemblage, and corns were trod upon, and sides punched, and pressed, without the apology or saying "by your leave sir." The old gentleman stood on the edge of the throng holding a letter which

he evidently was anxious to pay 'post and have forwarded by the mail just about to close; but age had no effect on the mob

who contended, on the barbers rule 'first come first served.' Matters stood thus when a young man who had struggled to the wicket and had possession of the clerk's eye and car, turnea to the venerable applicant and tendered him his place, the offer was accepted and when the letter was paid for a low bovv expressed the thanks of the "recipient of tthe favor.

When Roger stood before his rival in the

calm dignity of a patriot, and Lucy's eyes

showed that she approved his speeches as

pire of one heart, w hich he would not forego for the sceptre of Napoleon. Roger walked into the parlor of Squire Hartwcll that evening, with the air of a man who has no further cares for what may betide him in his life; and Anna Minor said that he asked consent that very evening. 'Roger is well enough,' said Mis. Hartwell, 'and I shall say nothing against the match, now he has left shocmaking. A mer haul's wife has a very respectable sta

tion, though nothing very grand. However, if Lucy has no ambition, it does no good for me to talk. I have already been too anxious about her marrying.'

the pcrlection ol manly sentiment, it was all over with Dr. Walker. He was in n

false position. Ho understood it too, and more angry at being beaten bv one w ho was in an inferior station, than that he had

other competitor in the field; ono who had

no political disabilities to surmount, who

would agree with '.he lather about the w higs. and with mother atout the weath

er and whose profession, family, fortune and figure would he doubted not, gain the

victory over Roger. I his new candidate for Lucy's favor was Scth Trumbull, the young lawyer. The young lawyer became a constant visitor at Squire Hartwell's. It was soon understood by the w hole parish, that the match was, as it. is termed, made. True, Lucy steadily denied it; but at that day it was not the fashion for the young ladies to proclaim their engagement as soon astheyT had said yes so her denial went for nothing.

Dr. Walker, asserted confidentially, every where, that it would be a match; Mrs. Hartwcll did not contradict; nobody dared to question the old Squire on the subject;

and as for Anna Minor, the dear teasing little cousin, she always laughed and blushed, and said Mike enough1 when the subject was rcfeired to her. So the matter was settled. Every body snid that Lucy llartwell was engaged to lawyer Trumbull. Everv body said so except Roger; he

never would sav a word about it. ine

young ladies generally believed it was a

sad disappointment to him, and pitied nun exceedingly. But most of the cldcrlv pco-

e, especially the grave fathers, differed

from this opinion. They said Roger had

no idea ol marrying; that he was poor and ambitious, and that such a man never

thought till he had risen in the world, in those primitive limes, not to marry for monev.

Mr. Trumbull is a lawyer, and may be a judge.1 'And so may Roger.' 'Oh that is impossible. He has never been educated, Mr. llartwell.' 'He can educate himself.' 'Well, well neither you nor I shall ever live to sec Roger Sherman a judge.' But they did live to see Roger Sherman a JYPGE.

The great Asiatic conqueror known by the name of Tamerlane possessed a character remarkable for perseverance, so much so that no difficulties' caused him to recedo from w hat he had Once undertaken. The following anecdote related by hira is published for the encouragement of those who are now laboring to obtain the necessary accommodations in order to sustain themselves in these times of general distress ia money affairs. "I once," he said, "was forced to take shelter from my enemies a ruined building, where I sat alone niatty hours. Desiring to divert my mind from my hopeless condition, I fixed my eyes oYi an ant, that was carrying a grain of corn larger than itself up a high wall. I numbered the efforts it made to accomplish the object. The grain fell sixty-nine times to the ground; but the insect persevered, and tho seventieth time it reached the top. This sight gave me courage at the moment, and I never forgot the lesson."
