This enlightened and experienced man further
addressed the Ambassador as follows;—" You
are now in the primetf your age and vigour,
and in great favour and bufineft; but all this
will leave you, and you will one day better un
derstand andtelifh what I fay to you ; and then
you will find, that there is more wifdom,truth,
comfort, and pleasure, in retiring and turning
our hearts from the world, to the good Spirit of
God, and in reading the Bible, than in all the
courts and favours of princes."—-" This I had
(fays Wm. Penh) as near as I am able to re
member, from the Ambassador's own mouth,
more than once. A very remarkable and edi
fying account, when we confidcr from whom it
came ; one of the greatest and wisest pen of
\ mis age ; while his understanding was as found
and vigorous, as his experience and knowledge
were great."

Anecdote of dr. Hill, in 1759.'
HE wrote a pamphlet addressed to Mr. Gar
rick, charging him with pronouncing the
letter J like an U, as in virtue, and some other
Words ; in answer to which the British Rofcius
wrote the following epigram ;
< DEAR DR.
Wit is true, as you fay, that I've injured a letter,
I'll change my notes foon,l hope for the better ;
May Che fifft fight of letters as well as of men,
Hereafter be fix'd by the tongue and the pen ;
Most devoutly I with they may both have their
due,
And that 7 may be never mistaken for U.

fellow, who conftfed to him, for eating flefh

durst not fay much in his own vindication ;
but to avoid penance, requested the father con

might not be allowed to eat it as a sallad.

house coniumed by lightning, sent the
following ingenious card to Lewis

and cheerfully ordered him the one
thousand crowns, which were the obje&
of his demand.

To engage in your matters belongs not to me,
This, Sire, inexcusable freedom would be ;
But yet, when reviewing my miseries past,

- Your revenue's one hundred millions a year ;
Hence one hundred tboufond per day in your pow'r,
Divided, bringsfaur ^boufand crowns to each hour ;
To answer the calls of my present distress,
Which lightning has caus'd in my country rc

May I be allow'd to request, noble Sire,

"NEWTPRING goods;'
On Thursday of last week, at Scho
dack,in Rensselaer county,threechildren
had placed themselves in a small booth
or brush house, which had been made
for the convenience of watching a coal
pit, and in which was a quantity of
straw, when it took fire, and the chil
dren were burnt to death ! The eldelt,
a lad about tenyears old, escaped from
the^ames, and carried the next eldest,
who was aWo a boy about seven, till
he expired in his arms, a distance of
nearly 200 paces—and died himfelf in
a few hours after.—The youngest, a
girl about four years of age, had at
tempted, as appeared probable from
the position she was found in, to escape
through the brush at a place that would
not admit her—and was there found.
The eldest was a son of Mrs. Spoor,
a widow—the other was a son of Mr.
Rafe—and the girl a daughter of Mrs.
Coleman, a widow.
