and the patriotism of his two favorites. Quin-
CIV soon died, acting to the last hour the great
part for which the venerable Mason had ac-
credited him, and bequeathing to his posteri-
ty his unsullied fame in full bloom. MIR. JEFF
ferson survived his euogist, and is now in his
eighth year of the chief magistracy of the
United States. But before the death of the
venerable Mason, he had been associated with
Jefferson, Lee, and others appointed by the
Legislature Of Virginia, to review the laws of
the state, and to mould them to our new con-
dition. Among the many WITNESSES suggest
ed by Mr.. Jefferson, was law furnishing the
female for rahe---a crime, from the days of
Adam and Eve, believed to be peculiar to the
male -Mason's strong mind indignantly re-
volted on perusal of this and other similar
suggestions of Jefferson, and some time after
sold an acquaintance now living. that ne found
himself entirely mistaken In his hrst oplnon
of Mr.. Jefferson, he discovered him to DC tull
of the most idle theories, opiniative In high
degree, persevering in the fursherance of his
own ideas, Ignorant OF human nature, and a
lit!ie, VERY LITTLE man indeed !.
What would the same penetrating states
man now say, was he witness to the scenes
passing in quick succession before rs the last
seven years Those VINO recoIIect his cha
racteG and manners will readily perceive.

Maternal tenderness and heavenly care
Grew, ike plant that boom'd almost unseen,
And spent its sweetness i'll the desart air.
Her mind with no wild FIRE of Genius eLeam'd:
NO zone OF Spartan blillIancy, her breast -
With nliIder htStre all her virtues beam'd
Like SPRINGS soft Verdye where the eve miqht reef
Ihattentiye gaze, and cen th'appausive look
'Oi strangers, she, dlfhdent to meet,
Like Mary, ov'd! the quiet portion took.
Nj neekly sitting at the Masters feet,
