ANEcDoTE OF A RUSSIAN PRINCESS
Many of our readers are doubtless ac-
quainted with the name OF the Swiss doc.
tor Michael Schuppach, Of Legnau, IN the
Emmenthal, who was highly celebrated,
and much in vogue in the last century.
lie is mentioned by Archdeacon Coke, 10
his Travels IN Switzerland, who himself
consulted him. There was time when
people Of distinction and fortune came TO
him, particularly from France and Ger
many, and even from more distant coun-
tries, and inDumerable are the cures which
he performed upon patients given up by
The regular hysicians. There were o1ce
assembled IN Michael Schuppach's laho-
ratory, a great many distinguished per-
sons from all parts of the world; partly to
consult him, and partly out OF curiosity
and among them many French ladies and
gentlemen, and Russian prince. with
his daughter, whose singular beauty at
tracted general attention. Ayoung French
marquis attempted, for the amuse ment OF
the ladies, to display his wit on the mi
raculous Doctor but the latter, though
not much acquainted with the French
language, answered so pertinenily, that the
marquis. had not the laugh on his side.
During this conversation, an old peasant
entered, meanly dressed, with a snow
white beard, neighbor of Schuppach's.
Schuppach directly turned away from his
great company to his old neighbour, aud
hearing that his wife was i'll, set about
preparing the necessary medicine for her,
without paying much attention to his
more exalted guests, whose business he did
not think so pressing. The marquis was
now deprived of one subject of his wit,
aud therefore chose for his butt the old
man who was waiting while his neighbour
Michael was preparing something for his
old Mary. After many silly jokes on bis
long white beard, he offered wager Of
twelve Iouis'dors, that none of the ladies
would kiss the old dirty looking fellow.
The Russian princess hearing these words,
made a sign to her attendant, who brought
her plate. The princess put twelve
ouisd'ors on it, and had it carried to the
marquis, who of course could not decliBs
adding twelve others. Then the fair
Russian went up TO the old peasant with
the long beard, and said, Permit me,
venerable father, to salute you after the
fashion of my country" Saying this, she
embraced him, and gave him kiss. She
then presented him the gold which was on
the plate, with these words, &c Take this
as remembrance OF me, and as sign
that the Russian girls think it their duty
to honour old age"

PRESENCE OF MIND.

AS the well known DIR. Barth preached
for the first time 10 his native city of Leip-
zig, he disdained the usual precaution OF
having his sermon placed in the Bible be-
fore him, to refer 10 in case of need. A
violent thunderstorm arising just as he
was in The middle of bis discourse, and a
tremendous clap caused him to lose the
thread Of his argument, with great com
posure and dignity he shut the Bible,
saying with emphasis, e Whea God speaks,
man mast hold his peace J" he then came
down from the pulpit, and the whole con-
gregation looked on him with admiration
and wonder, as a mighty pillar of the
church.
