Pray, Sir, how much wine can YOU drink
at sitting and not endanger your health
With segars and a good song occasi.
onally, think l can put three or four bot
ties under my jacket, in an afternoon aud
evening, and retire with decencv.
Then presume Sir, you are seldom
mortified by the necessity of declining a
sitting parry, because you can't drink.
U never; have an excellent strong head,
wine affects me no more than cup of
green tea does 4 lady. Indeed very much
The same; it makes me little gay and To-
quacious.
Strange perversion of reason strange
idea OF glory, that man . Id vaunt
real degradation OF his natur. Is physi.
cal insensiblty an honor Is it real cause
OF satisfaction that by force of pernicious
habit the principle of life is so FAR cxtin-
gu'shed that the highest stimulants pro-
duce no arrangement of tle system
The only difference between animate
and Inanimaie matter is, that the former
can be affected by such powers as wine,
food and Other stimulanIs, while the lat
ter cannot.--He, therefore, who boasts
that the strongest powers, scarcely affect
/ the torpid fibres OF his body, reioices in
the partial extinction of the principle OF
lie. He seems to say, by long drench-
ing myself with draughts of slow poison,
am at length so far dead, that pour
them down and experience no eftcl.

EGYPTIAN WHEAT.

There are few countries from whence
the patriotic and scientific traveller NAV
not bring something TO enrich or benefit
his own. The peculiar qualities of the l.
gyptian wheat have long been Unknown,
even to the nations to which Egypt was
formerly the granary ; but one Of the Off
GERS whom the desoating spirit Of Bona
partc occasioned us to send there, has
brought from thence a fcwgrains Of wheat,
which are likely to supcrCede the culture
Of all others, not only in ireland, but here.
The stem, which for strength and thick
ness resembles the strongest reed, is about
six feet high, having, when nearly malur-
ed, a top or head about twice tie size Of
an ear Of Our wheat, together with smaller
ears, branching something in the manner
Of oats. But what is most important, the
stem is peculiarly nutritious for horses,
rendering unnecessary the use Of hay and
corn. II will no, be matter Of surprise that
all the seed which MIR. IIum1hgics Ga gen.
tleman of Dublin, to whom II had been o.
riginally presepted,) could he induced IN
dispose Of last year, was purchased with
ayidty for ten guHeas her sfoAe u I'D i;

framed the present Constitution Of tb,: T.
nited States, and having taken pare in this
measure, i conceived myself to be under
an obligation to lend my aid towards put
ting the machine in motion. Hence | did
not hesitate to accept the offer of Presi-
dent Washington, to undertake the Office
of Secretary of the Treasury.--In that Of
hce met with macy intrinsic difficulties,
and many artificial ones, proceeding from
passions not very worthy but common 10
human nature, and which a9 with pecu
liar force in republics.-'rhe obiect how
ever, was eife6tnal of establishing public
credit and introducing order into the H.
nances.
"Public Office in this country has few
attractions. The pecuniary emolument
is SD inconsiderable as to amount To a sa-
crihce to any man who can employ his
time with advantage in any liberal profess
sion.-The opportunity of doing good,
from the jealousy of power and the spirit
of faction, is too small in any station TO
warrant long continuance of private SD
CRITICS.. The enterprises of party had so
tar succeeded, as materially to weaken the
necessary influence and energy OF the
Executive Authority and so far diminished
The power OF good in that department, as
greatly 10 take away the motives which
vIrtuous man might have for making
such sacrifices. The prospect was even
bad, for gratifying in future the love OF
fame, it that passion was to be the spring
OF action. The union of these mo.ives,
with the reflections of prudence, in relati-
on TO growing family, determined me as
soon rs my plan had attained certain
maulr;ty 20 withdraw from oiiice. This
did IN the year l795, by resignation,
when X umed the profession of the law
(as eoSssel!o in New-York, under every
advantage l could desire. tits pleasing
reileGlio. to me, that since the commence
ment OF my connection with Gen. WASH
inglon TO the present time, have possess
scd hattering share ofhis confidence and
{. udship. In the year 1880, | married
Tie second daughter of Gcueral Schuyler,
gentleman OF one of the best families of
ihis country, of large fortune, and of no
less personal and public consequence. 1t
is impossible to be happier than am in
vile, and | have eigh; children5 the eldest.
a son, somewhat passed seventeen, who
all promise well as far as their years per
nit, and promise me much satisfaction.
Though have been too much in public
life TO be wealthy, my situation is ex-
treme!y comfortable, and leaves me moth.
lug 10 wish but continuance of health,
with this blessing, the profits OF my pro
iession, and other prospects, authorize an
expectation of such addition to my resour-
