LUCKMAN,
The celebrated P rfian marefift, relates the fol
lowing (tor, of mmftlf:—“ I was once," fays hr
“ so poor, that I had not wherewith to buy n^
a pair of (hoes, and v as obliged to go barefooted
However patient 1 had until then been, I now be
came very diffatisfied with mv lot, and entered
the temple at Caffa extremely melancholy and
d contented. I there saw a man who had no legs,
refh ctiug on whole condition, I no longer com
planned oi wanting (hoes, but gave thanks to Go I,
from the bottom of my heart, that 1 could fl
walk, though bare footed, blow much better is
it, thought I, to be without (hoes th n within
legs ! If this poor man could recover |vs legs, how
ecfbuic would be his joy, though he fhoMd have
no fooes !"

F, orio and Camilla, though in reality they
y a regard tor one another, were so unfortunate
in an imoitience of temper, that they continually
rendered each other mderable. Florio was a
man too easily dejected, and Camilla interpret
ed this into sullenness. in confequeuce of which,
m e would accuse him of peevifixiefs, or else hi
whole hours with a book in her hand, as regard,els
of hs fi^is, as if they were the puffs of an old pair
of bellows. If Florio desired her to avoid a
prticuiar thing, the directly considered him as
h ? ing a fort of command upon her, and therefore
then it it incumbent on her pride, to do every
thing prohibited. If Florio , egged of her to
observe any point of good breeding, which Camil
la might through accident have forgot, she re
proached him as a fqueamifr creature. If he p
p % red particularly dcfirous to pohfh her in the
art of eloquence, it Was imputed to a love of con
