•06 The advantages of this mode of arrangement are many and
obvious, inasmuch as by the juxtaposition and classiticaSon of
contemporaneous liVes, a continuity as well as a sympathy of inte-
rest is eseited, which is wholly unattainable in a dictionary or other
alphabetical form of arrangement, wherein every subject of refer.
nee must of necessity be unconnected and Isolated ; whereas, in a
ciimnological and classified arrangement, every personage has his
proper place, as well in relation to his redeemers, contemporaries,
and sumessms, as to the subjects with which he is historically or
otherwise connected. Biography, thus arranged, is not confined to
the memoirs of particular individuals, but comprehends the programs
of history, literature, arts, and sciences.

AN INCIDENT AT CADIZ.
Two brothers of Cadis,—one deetin'd to roam,
The younger the property stied on at home.
Twelve years thus he held the paternal Estate,
(Unheard of the elder", in triumph elate;
One day wire a stranger appear 'd at his door,
Advice in a cue of distress to implore.
" In climes far remote while I sought, hitt in vain,
A fortune (the stranger observ'd) to attain,
My father departed, and Two Sons he left
The Elder am I.—By the Younger bereft
Of all my inheritance, what shall I do
you, Sir, advice me the coarse to pursue ?"
" Apply to your brother," the other began.
" 1 have!" said the stranger, " And thou art the Man ;"
Conviction prevail'd, but ralress was not given,
For forth nom the mansion the claimant was driven.
Dejected, forlorn, to a lawyer his case
Fie told, who assur'd him that Right should takr place 4
1 hen secretly posting to sladrid„ fie gain'il
A knowledge how justice would best be obtain'd.
The trial came nn,—and Perversion its course
Apposed noresisted to take, when its source
Was atop; by a Miller array 'd in bright Roots,
Who ably exposing Corruption's pursuits,
Confounded the A leatie—by fear now beset;
As seen the supporters of Truth in the Jet.
" In Heaven's name, Who are your he doubtfully cried,
Supreme Judge of 31adriti,"—the Miller replied ;
" Beware Retribution !"—The visions supplied,
The equity else that to Right had been lacking ;
The owner his title no longer denied,
Achieving a triumph thro' Warren's Jet Blacking.
