been insulted, she declared, in her person—

must have concluded with ({. E. D.
The next morning the Don could do no
less than to summon a council, consisting of
his most chosen friends among the diploma
tic corps. The case was stated, nil their o-
pinious severally taken. One ventured to
apologize for the President, on the ground
of his ignorance as a republican of the rules
of etiquette. To this it was replied, that the
dignity of bis most Catholic Majesty was
not to he laid at the mercy of every man who
might call ‘himself a republican. The lady
particularly insisted that satisfaction must
ie given. It was suggested, that the best
way would be for Spain’s representative to
go and ask it. The divan broke up, and one
of its members Went to advise the President
of the matter in agitation. Some hours af
ter, Mr, Jefferson, while occupied in his li
brary, was informed that the Spanish minis
ter was in an adjoining apartment—he called
immediately for his boots, and putting one
on, and holding the other in his hand, pro
ceeded to the room. Having half opened
the door, he issued orders to the servant be
hind him, touching his horse, nnd drawing on
us he did so his remaining boot, welcomed
his visiter with his wonted amenity. “ Pray
be seated—be seated—no ceremony here,
my good sir. Very glad to see you”—and
then, without regarding the disconcerted air
of the astonished representative of Spain and
the Indies, entered with his wonted ease in
to general conversation, opposing the.gen
tleman to the minister, and the unaffected
majesty of the philosopher to the frozen
haughtiness of the diplomatist. -The com
bat was soon deckled. Thu Spaniard de
parted, nnd reported to his lady and diplo
matic friends that, when they went to the
house of the American President, they must
leave the dignity of their masters at home—
Sana Ceremonie.
I paused, and the moral came home to my
heart;
Behold how of earth all the glories depart!
Our visions ire baseless, our hopes hut a gleam,
Our staff but a reed, and our life but a dream !
Then, oh! let us look, let our prospects allure,
To scenes that can fade not, to realms that
- endure;
To glories, to blessings, that triumph sublime
O'er the blighting! of change, ami the rums of

perhaps, Sirs, l am somewhat singular in
my notions of the great men. I have a sort
of instictive antipathy to any thing in our
public officers, which smacks of aristocratic
distinctions. I dislike Titles, Etiquette, the

lic officers hold forth. I have seen men who
could never put off the pretensions of staff

FRANKLIN AND VOLTAIRE.
Tiie following anecdote is translated from
work entitled “The British Spy in Paris,”
printed there a few years ago. The author
gives minute details of tiie circumstances
which attended Voltaire’s last illness, and a
tnong the most interesting, mentions hip in
terview with the American philosopher.
“ At the beginning of the conversation Mr.
De Voltaire made it a point to speak English
with the illustrious American, (Dr. Frank
lin,) upon which Mrs. Dennis observed that
the Doctor could speak French, and the
company there would be much pleased to
hear them both.” “ My nioee,” answered
lie, “ I have for a moment yielded tr> the va

See either of them mounted upon their pur

and you are struck at their simplicity.—
Sometime.*) a pair of saddle-bags contains
their necessary wardrobe. Sometimes with
the coat stripped off in a large company, you
find one of them amusing himself with the

From “ Fietos of Society and Manners in
America, by an Englishwoman,” (Mrs.
Wright,) lately published.
“ I must subjoin an anecdote of Mr. ,
Or, as he is more simply styled, Thomas
Jefferson, which I received a few days since
from a gentleman of this city, and which
struck me as not only characteristic of that
philosopher, but somewhat also of this nati
on generally.
“ It was* the object of Mr. Jefferson to
preserve, in every trifle, that simplicity which
deemed the most appropriate character
istic of a republic. At his entrance into the
Presidency, he found himself a little troubled
with the trifling etiquette, which the foreign
ambassadors, and more especially the ladies,
Were essaying to establish in his own draw
ing room ; and, apprehending that the wives
and daughters ofhis official brethren might
catch the contagion, hs let pass no opportu
nity of giving it his discountenance. He
wisely judged, that in this matter, as in most
others, example was better than precept,
and set about new-ordering the manners of
the city, much in the manner that Franklin
Wight have taken. Did he go to make a
Innrning visit, he rode without a servant, ti
ed hts horse to the gate, and walked in as

WHIMS OF AGE.
Some years ago six old men ii six old
women were suphoenaed out of the town
of Stockport to appenr on a trial in the
court of Westminister. The eldest of
the men was one hundred and fire, nnd
the youngest, sixty seven ; the eldest of
the women was one hundred and three,
& the youngest, sixty five. Two coach
es were provided, to take those twelve
persons to London ; but the old lady a<
ged one hundred and three, refused to
ride in the same coach with the old gen
tleman of one hundred & five, saying, “ 1
do not think it prudent to ride with one
of his sex ; I have supported a good
character so far, and 1 atn determined to
support it as long ns 1 live in this world ?”
They all arrived safe at a gentleman’s
house upon Newington Green, near Lon
don. The gentleman wished our old
men to be shaved twice a week, but they
refused, saying, “ the London barbers
were a set of knaves for charging them
two-pence a piece, for in Stockport they
had never paid more than one half pen
ny a head ?
It happened thatwne of the old men,
as he was walking in Bishopsgnte street
read on a board—*“ Shaving for one pen
ny I” he returned & informed his friends
of this lucky discovery, and they all set
out next morning to get shaved. The
old man who found out the penny barber
was allowed the honor of sitting first
when the barber had thorn one side of
his face, he pulled the cloth away the
old man shouted, “ holloa, measter, you
forgotton to shave this side.’’ The bar
ber replied, that “ if he shaved the
ther side, he must have another penny!’
The old man got up in a rage, called the
barber a “’cheating scoundrel, and de
dared he would return to Stockport half
shaved as he was, before he would give
him another penny.” He took his hand
kerchief and wiped the lather off his
face, put on his hat, bade adieu to the
barber’s shop, and with his venerable
companions, knights.of the heard, ad
journed to the sign of the “Fox and An
chor,” Charter HouseLane, where they
stopped till they all got intoxicated ; an
it was the third day after, before the
gentleman, on whose suit they attended
could prevail on them to get shaved by a
two-penny barber.—London paper.

There is in the hands of Mr. Stephen Nor

England by a monk 980 years ago. The let

There is no date to this Bible; it has been
handed down from age to age, and is now

PREMATURE INTERMENT.
FROM A I.ATB ENGLISH PAPER.
Stephen Evans, a Welchman, one of the
hands of the Harriot, of Milford, lying at
Wexford, was buried in Sclskar church-yard,
at one o’clock in the afternoon of Thursday
su’nnight. lie was supposed to have died
on Tuesday preceding. On Friday, two
boys climbed the wall of the church-yard,
for the purpose of robbing a bird’s nest.; one
of them stood on the grave in which Evans
was interred, and, while the other was as
cending for the nest, called out to him that
he heard a strange noise in the grave; on
which they immediately gave the alarm
An immense concourse of people soon cn|.
looted, and the body tv a* immediately dug
up, when a spectacle truly horrible presented
itself; the functions oflifo had been restored
in the coffin, but were only restored that t na
miserable sufferer might experience all the
horrors of a lingering death in this most
dreadful situation! The struggles of the
unhappy victim appeared to have been vio
lent !
The hody -was examined by several me
dical gentlemen present, who pronounced
that life had totally leift it. Shortly after his
apparent death, an inquest was held, the
verdict of which was—Died by the visitation
of God. The circumstances of Evans’s sup
posed death are as follows: On Tuesday
morning, he drank some raw spirits at a pub
lic house on the quay, and soon after he was
found in his hammock without any signs of
life, whence it w as concluded that he had
died suddenly. There was a slight perspira
tion visible upon the Imdv, but nothing fur
ther indicative of animation. No medical
person was called in to give his advice upon
trie cate; a coffin was immediately ordered,
and as soon as it arrived the body was nailed
up in it, and left in the hold of the vessel till
the period of interment.
A remark made yesterday, by his honor
the Recorder, in his charge to tjie jury on
an indictment for keeping a disorderly house,
