ORIGINAL ANECDOTE
Os J. R. Esq. an eminent at
torney in New-England.
AT the time Mr. R. gra
duated,him fell and lome
other of his classmates form^
ed a resolution with them
selves, which of the profel
fional vocations to purlue.
Mr. R. preferred the study
of divinity ; which, lor a
time, he pursued ; but after
a while left it, and took to
the study of medicine ; —but
not fucceedingto his wishes,
he relinquished his medici
nal studies, and espoused
those of the law, where the
utmost possible Success was
the happy reward of his en
deavours. Some time after,
bechanced to meet with his
old comrades, who immed
iately interrogated him,and
admired at the great change
he had experienced in point
of Sentiment, since his gra
duation.
"Change, indeed ! (repli
ed Mr. R.)—but y,pu know
my ruling ambition was, to
follow that galling which
should provemott lucrative ,
and therefore^,l took to the
study of divinity, imagining
men would give more for
the preservation of their
fouls than any thing elle ;

[Numb. XIX of Volume VII.
but finding their carelessness
for theirfouls' good so great,
I relinquished it for that of
medicine ; but my success
therein not answering my
expectation^, I embraced the
study of law, as the last al
ternative, and succeeded e
qual to my most sanguine
wi(hes ; and eventuallyfind,
that men willfacrifice an in
finitely greater proportion
of their interest for the
gratification oftheirpaffions
and wills, than they will
for the preservation of ei
ther foul or body."
AN admiral died on a
voyage, whose corpse
was put into a puncheon of
rum, to preserve it for in
terment in England. A
feamah on board the Ship
was remarkable, and fre
quently punished, for
drunkenness. The captain,
to prevent this evil, flopped
his grog. Jock, however
still Was groggy, and finally
brought to the gangway :
the captain assured him,
that if he would confefs how
he got his liquor, he should
be forgiven. "Well, pleale
your honor, (said the tar)
I broached the admiral."
" Broached the admiral !"
exclaimed the captain. "Yes
Sir, (laid he) and stuck by
him until it was low water."
The calk was searched, and
and the admiral was found
to be really aground / Jack
saved his flogging and the
admiral was again foated.
A Gentleman being un
der the hands of a
political barber, who, while
/having his head, was enga
ging him with an account
of the wars in Italy, and
giving him a description of
the place, till growing ver
bose and tedious in his ope
ration, the gentleman said,
Sir, 1 hope you are not draw
ing a MAP of the country
upon my bead mith your ra
zor.
