THE BLACK BULL.

The Rev. Mr.. Buckley, of Colchester,
in Connecticut, was famous in his day as
a casuist and sage councillor. A church
in his neighborhood had fallen into un-.
happy divisions and contentious, which
they were unable TO adjust among them
selves. They deputed one of their num-
Der to the venerable Buckley for his adj
vice; with request that he would send
it to them in writing. The matters were
taken into selions consideration, and the
advice with much deliberation, committed
to writing. 1t SO happened, that MIR.
Buckley had farm in an extreme part
Of the town, upon which he entrusted

our forefathers, it was no sin for a clergy
man to own land and other property, pro-

necessary for Mr.. Buckley to give some
directions to his Tenant in superscrib-
ing the two letters, the one for the
church was directed TO the tenant, and
the one for the tenant to the church.
The church was convened to hear the
advice which was to settle all their dis
putes-the moderator read as follows9
/; /" You will see to tae repair of the fen
ees, that they be built high and strong, &
you will take special care of the old Black
Bali"
The mystical advice puzzled the church
at first; but an interpreter among the
most discerning ones was soon found, who
said Brethren, this is the very advice
/ which we need. The direction 10 repair

heed in the admission and government Of

Mr.. HEwEs,
Among some Cadiz newspapers. late
ly received, IS a proclamation Of the mar
quis del palacio. dated at A !iaaat, and
addressed to the people of Valencia. &c.
1t breathes so much true heroism, that
have been induced to send you transia-

ceptable to some Of the readers of your
useful Gazette. E.
From the moment landed on your soil,

Valencia of FURNISHED brass, and infrang-

dare approach them. l see a protecting
cloud lowering over the whole Kingdom,
emblematical of that, which defended the
people Of God for forty years. The walls
Of brass are the breasts of Valencian he

loyalty; and the cloud which protects
them, is the queen of angels. who presides
over the most perfect of armies. 1t is
our adorable and gracious mother, who

| have always thought that Providence, in
allotting to mankind their several stations
in life, set apart one class to fight the
battles. and another class to reap The a
walls Of victory. The first of these class
es is composed Of men of ardent feelings.
of warm passions and strong prejudices-
men who disregard their own interest,
while furtheriag the cause which they adj
yocate Rese ate, Industrious and perse-
yering, they neither stop to consider ef-
fects. nor to weigh consequent e': They
face danger. struggle against persecution,
and even meet ruin undaunted and undls-
MAYED. The other class is made up OF
persons Of very different character: Cool
and sober--they find no difficulty in dis
guising their feelings or controlling their
passions Candid and enIightened-they
will never suffer their prejudices to inter
fere with their interest. Prudent and dis
Greet, they will enter into no controversy
so far as to render a retreat difficult or
dangerous They will always prove their
sagaeity, by standing aloof when political
affairs wear a gloomy or doubtful aspect ;
and by measuring their steps with such
precision as to arrive at given point, at
the proper moment for claiming the prizes
that are to be awarded, and the favors
that are to be distributed. Men of the
first class are very useful and 50 long as
they arc contented in their proper station
so long as they forbear to claim any re-
ward for their services-they ought to be
cherished blythe fattery and smiles--or
Tie other class, WAC could effect very lit
tie without their aid. But political labor
ers should never seek hOn0rs or emolu-
ments, as one would produce pride and the
other Incidence; and with pride and in
dolence, no man can labor to advantage.
Arguments are unnecessary to convince
the better class Of politicians Of the sound
| ness Of this my doctrine. 1t is perfectly
we'll understood, and has always been act
ed unon hy them. But my object is, to-
cheek the arrogance Of the laborinscIass
of politicians, to silence their import'ni-
ties, and to satisfy them Of the propriety
and necessity Of contenting themselves in
the station which Providence has seen fit
to allot them.

A great mans valet.--When the late

it was understood that he wanted a valet

Alexander, and brought with him strong
recommendations from the principal no
blemen Of the island. 1t was come time
before sir Alexander could discover his
object; till to his no small surprise, it was
explained, that he came to offer himself as
valet. BY means Of little cross exami-
nation, the candidate gave him TO under

most respectable Office, TO be patented as

as at first sight it may seem to the Eng

however, very gravely though very po-

that, as to any interference or Immediate

he should check it in his nearest ccnnex-
