who have employed him; moral principle

Mrs. Blennerhassett, whose personal

famous passage of his defence of her husband

In going down the Ohio some years ago
we stopped at the famous island residence,
then a waste, in company with a party of
friends. one of whom an early resident of
Ohio, was familiar with the family at the
time of Col. Burr’s first introduction. He
reached the island, according to this witness,
on a fine spring morning in a small boat
with a servant, whom be despatched with a
note to the house. then in truth. embosomed
in a "shrubbery which Calypso and her
nymphs might have envied.” The note ran
thus:
‘Col. Bwrr solicits the f(l‘L'0’l" of being per-
mitted to wander among the grounds of
Mrs. Blennerliassett.
This of course brought a cordial wel-
come, and proved the beginning of the end.

Astonishing.—A ta vernkeeper inEngland
was doing a thriving busines on the Bristol
road under the sign of ‘the Donkey,” and
his house had become noted for its good
eating and liberal cheer. At the time of
the great popularity of the Duke of Welling-
ton, be bad the donkey taken down and a fine
portrait at ftill length of his grace substituted.
A rival inn-keeper seeing his error, had
the old sign purchased. and transferred the
‘grey ass,’ to a place over his door. To_the
chagrin and disappointment of the original
owner. he saw the old sign carrying all his
old custom with it. To remedy the evil he
had painted in large letters directly under
the duke’s portrait, "This is the original

As on his wings, high pois'd he sailed sublime.
Back to his wasted seat-
