THE JUDICIARY.
In 1789 the Wafington adminiftratirin
framed the Judicial System of tie United
States, which experience proved to be good
and f fficient.
In 1801, 'he /damr-adminiftration, at the
very close of its career, parted a law altering
the Washington judiciary fy(tem of 1798, and
creating sixteen new and unnecertary judges,
with salaries of 2000 dolars a year each.
When Mr. Jeffirfon came into office,
among other reforms, the new Judiciary
law of Adams Was repealed, and the system
of Washington restored—consequently the
sixteen new and useless judgeships were abo
lished, and their 32,000 dollars a-year salaries
saved to the country.
Thi^ is a true Rate of this plain cafe--=—-
Yet the frfy%dminiftration, which only
teftored the Washington judiciary fyffem is
accused of defraying the judiciary 1— With
truth, let the candid judge.

A MAN, plagued with an ill tempered wife,

“ Let lightnings slash—let thunder roll along,
let hideous night-fiends join in awful Jong,
Let earthquakes jhake the earth from pole to pole,

THE TWO WAGGONERS.
TWO waggoners travelling different
Ways, happened to meet at a place where the
passage was so narrow as to render it difficult
passing each other ; a dispute consequently
arose who Ihould turn out of the road to let
the other go by. One of them roared out,
" If you do not turn out immediately, I'll
serve you as I did the other fellow just now."
This address had the desired effect ; the
other expelling to have some disagreeable
trick served on him, should he disobey, im
mediately turned his team to one fide of the
road ; but as his opponent parted him, be
desired to know how he had served the other
man.—" Why, (said he) the stubborn raf
cal swore he would not turn out for me, so
I turned out for him !"
A LADYbaoing the misfortune to bale
her buJbanf bang bimfelf on an apple-tree,
the wife of a neighbor came immediately to beg
of the widow a branch of that tree to bale it
grafted into one in her own orchard ; " For
who bnows (said foe) but it may bear the fame
kind of fruit."

PLEASURE and DE3IkE.
From an unpublished Menufcript of
:M.G. Lewis, Lfq.
IN yonder bow 'r lies pleafare sleeping,
And near him mourns a blooming maid ;
He will net wake, and She tits weeping,
When, lo ! a Stranger proffers aid.
H&hurried flep, his glance of fire,
The god of u ifltes wild declare,
“zWake, Pleaftro, wake," exclaims Desire,
And Pleasure 'wakes to biefs the fair.
But soon the maid, in luckless hour,
Desire a'fleep is doom'd to view ;
“ Try, pieahire, try," She cries, “ yonr power,
And wake Desire, as he 'woke you."
Fond girl, thy prayer exceeds all measure,
Dinina his province each must keep,
Delire Shall ever wait on pleJure,
And Pleafdre lull Desire to sleep.

Should go, as his visitor was a man of rank, his
patron and his friend. As perfuafiota,.however had
no effect, one took him by the right arm, the
other by the left, and led him to the garden gate :
when finding refinance wasvain, he bowed, laid
his hand upon his heart, and in that expressive
manner for which he was so remarkable, spoke the
following lines :
“ Thus Adam look' a when from the garden driven,
“ And thus diluted orders lent from Heaven.
“ Like him.lz° > but yet to go am loth ;
" Like him Igo ;f°r angels drove us both.
