Supper beiug ready he retired -The gciiilcmuu had uot long finished his supper, when Mr. Bruuell camu into the par lor where ho .was, and alter the usual iuqury of landlords as to tliu guest's sutislueliou with -tho meal, uhset-ved; -Sir, 1 niidorstaud that you have been robbed uul fur hence, this eve ning I’ ‘1 liuvo sir,' wus tho reply, 1 And ydiu- money wus ■ nurkeU t' - continued the landlord.

Within ubout twelve months afterwards, Brunell, tho master ol Jeuniugs. was himself taken up fora robbery ciiinuilltcd on a guest tn his house, and tbe foot being proved on the trial, ho wus con victed and ordered for execution. The ap proach of death brought mi repentance, and repel mince confession. Bruiiull uot only ac knowledged that he had been guilty or many highway robberies, and owned liimiolf to have committed the very one for which poor Jennings suffered. "The account wliloh Brunell five, was that after having rubbed thu traveller, he had gut home before him by swifter riding mid a nearer way. That he found a man waiting for him, and to whom, nut having enough of other money In Ids pocket, he gave away one of the twenty gniueus which 1m llad just ob tained by tile rubbery. Presently came In tbe robbed gentleman, who, whilst Brunull, not knuw-ing of his arrival was in tho stable, told his tale as before related, tu the kitchen. Tho gentleman, had scarcely left the kitchen before Bruuell cutcred It, and there to his consternation heard of the Wets or tho gui neas being marked. He became dreadfully alarmed. Tho guinea which he had paid away, ho dared n it ask hack again, and as the affair of lira robbery, as well as tin! cir cumstance- of thu. marked guineas, would seen become publicly known, he saw nothing but detection, disgrace mid death. In this dilemma the thought uf accusing and sacrifi cing poor Jennings, occurred to him. The state of intoxication In whiuh Jeunings was, gave him an opportunity of couceuliug the money in tho waiter's pookut. Tho rest of the story thu render knows," ••Worship the Lord." Ain.

Mi ner, af Virginia, wlw applied to him for a briol memoir of the distinguished Clmncollo r Wythe, uno of the must euiioent law-yen of thu country, and an iutimate Irieud uf thu great statesman Its rcmiuiseeuucs of early duys und uneedutes coimccted with his own history, renders it a document of deuidud interest': Asuland, Saturday, May 8,1852. My Dear Sir—1 duly received- your favor oftho 21st ult., in which you iufurrn mo that ono of tho Richmond booksellers iuteuds to publish a new edition of liio Reports oftho lamented Chancellor Wythe, and yuu-express wish thnt 1 would famish abrlel memoir of the illustrious author. It would bo a most pleasing aud grateful task to comply with your request, if I possessed tho requisite au- theutic materials, and the requisite capacity to prepare the work. But the first condition dous nut exist, aud it is, therefore, unnecessa ry to'dwell upon tho second. Aly acquain tance with thu Chancellor commenced in thu year 1793, In my 16th year, when I was clerk In tho office of the Court over which be presided, and when I think hr must liuvo passed’the ago of throe-score year* and ten. I know nothing personally of till career at tho bar, of his country, or of tho part which ho had taken In public affairs. I understood that ho was borne hi Elizabeth City; that he was tadghtthe Greek letters by hla mother, and afterwards, by her assistauoo and by bis own exertions, be became an accomplished Greek scholar. How he learned the Latin language, I do not remember to have. heard, but probably at William and Mary College, oratsorao other Ooliogo In Lower Virgiula, When I first know him, bln right hand had becumbso much afflicted with rheumatism or gout, that ft was with difficulty ho could write his own name, Owing to that cause, ho engagcd'me to act as his amanuensis, and I attended him frequently, though not every day, to .orve him in thnt capacity, for several years. Upon his dictation, I wrote, I believe, all the reports of casos, which It Is now pro posed fo re-publlsh. I remember that it cost me a great deal of labor, not understanding Greek character, to write some citations from Greek authors, which he wished inserted in copies of Ids reports, sent to Air. Jefferson, Mr. Samuel Adams, of Boston, and to one or two' other persons. I copied them by Imitating each character as I found them iu the original words. Air. Wytbo was one of tho purest, belt, and mort learned men in classical lore that I ever knew. Although I did not uudorstnnd Greek, I was often highly gra.Hied with Us- toning to his readings in Homer’s Iliad, and 'other Greek - authors, so bcuutlfolly did lie pronounce the language. No ono ever doubt ed his perfect uprightness, or questioned ids great ability as a J udge. I remember an in cident which occurred,in my presence, which demonstrated with what scrupulous rejrard he avoided the possibility of any imputation up on Ids honor, or Ids liuparlial.ty. A neigh bor of his, Mr. If «' U $M ti..q of being a West lndhr uabob, and who, at the tune, had ran important suit pending In the Court ofCImneery, sent him n dumyul.n tho article- wore brought into Mr. Wythe’s house, with the messago from the donor, Mr. Wythe requested tho servant to taka thorn book to his master, and tn present to him his rospocts and thanks for his kind Intentions, but to say that ho had long ccasud to make any use ofnrrack. and thnt Miss Notson had nooonsorvatoryln which sho could protect thooranga tree. I was amused at another scone, which I witnessed between him and the late Justloo Washington of tho Supremo Court, thon practicing law In tho oily of Rich mond. Ho callod on tho Chancellor with n bill of Injunction in belmlf of General , to restrain tho collection of a debt. Tho ground of tho application was, tho creditor had agreed to await tho oonvenlonco of Gen eral ——, for tho paymoht of tho dobti and that It was not then convenient to pay It.— Tho Olmncollor attentively read tho bill through,rand deliberately folding ft up, re turned It to Mr. Washington, inquiring, with an Incflhblo smile upon his oonntenanco, “Do you think. Sir, that I ought to grant this Injunction 1” Mr. Washington blushod. and obsorvod that ho had presented tho hill at tho earnest Ins’nnco of his client, Air. Wytho’s relations to tho Judges of tho Court of Appeals Wore not of tho most friendly or amtcablo kind, as may bo Infor- rod from tho tenor of his reports. Conscien tiously and thoroughly convinced oftho jus tice and equity ofhls docrcus, ho was Impa tient when any of them wore reversed, and accordingly ovinccs that fooling In his ro|iorts. Mr. Pendleton, from what I liavo heard and tho llltlo I know of him, I suppose was more prompt anil ready, and possessed great rlral. Air. Wythe's (brio, as I liavo under- stood, lay In tho opening oftho argument of a caso; In which, for thorough preparation, ctrarnoss and forco, no one could excol him. which would arise In tho ennduct of a causo In court. Tho consequonco'waa, that Air, Pendleton waa oftener ancccasful than Air. Wythe, In tholr struggles at tho bar. On onp occasion, when Air. Wytho, being opposed Mr. Pendleton, lost the rattse, inn mo ment ofvexnflnn. ho declared. In the proa- once of a friend that he wonhl quit tho bar, go home, take orders and enter the pulpit. Yon had bettor not do thnt. replied' Ills friend for If yon do. Mr. Pcndlolon will go home lake orders and enter tho pulpit too, and heat yon there. Mr. Pendleton was for loss learned than Mr. Wytho, but he poa- scssed more versatile talents, was an accomplished gentleman, aud hotter nddapt- cd to success tn general society, and tn tho busy world. Although not so finished scholar ns Air. Wytho. he had much more pleasing stylo of composition Tho high con- lishcd honors and emtnentof- flccs which"they reidlred Sore State. It was particularly exhibited In tho organization oftho Convention whleh adopted tho constitution oF tho United 8tates, when Mr. Pendleton waa appointed to presldo' orpr tho body, and Air. Wytho to presldo ovor tho Commlttco oftho Whole, whloh ho did dur ing I believe, tho entire sitting of tho Con vention—tho Constitution having been con sldered and discussed in Commlttco of tho Wholo, Mr. Wytho’s personal appearanoe and' Ills personal habits were plain, almplo. and nuoa- tentatlous. His countenance was foil of bland- ncss and bonevolenco, and I think ho mado In his salutation of others, Uis most graceful bow thnt I over witnessed. A lllUo bent by age, ho generally worn a gray coating, rand when walking carried » cane. Even at this moment, after tho lapse of more than half century slnco I last saw him, hla Image distinctly engraved on my mind. Daring my whole acquaintance with him, he constantly abstained from tho use of all animal food. It Is painful and melancholy to reflect that a man so pure, so upright, so virtuous, so learned, bo distinguished and beloved, should have met with an unnatural death.— Tho event did not occur until several-years after I emigrated from Richmond to the State ofKcntucky, and of course I am not ablo. from personal knowledge, to rolato any of the olrcumstancei which atlonded It, Of thoso, bowover, I obtained such authentic formation os to lcavo no doubt in my mind to tho manner of its occurcnco. Ho had grand nepliow, a youth seareoly, I bolloTo, of mature, ago, towhom, by hi* last will and testament, written by ine upon hts dictation before ray departure from Richmond, uttor emancipating his slaves, ho devised tho great er part of hla estate. Tho youth poisoned him rand others—black members ofhls house hold—by putting arsenic Into a pot in which coflbo was preparing for breakfast. Tho pa- por which contained tho arsontlo was found on the floor, oftho kitchen. The coffee hav ing been drunk' by the Chancellor and his servants, the poison developed Its usual feds. The Chancellor lived long enough to send for hi* neighbor, Alajor William Duval, and got him to wrlto another will for blm, disinheriting tho ungrateful and guilty grand nephew, nhd making other dispositions ofhls estate.
