pHIIADELPHIA, JUNE 2lst, 1920.
/ was called to hold an inquest on the
body Of a young man, a stranger, about
2l years Of age--and only two weeks in
the city. 1t appears from every circum-
stance before the Inquest, that he died
IN consequence Of taking poison.
The following note was found in his
pocke, book, and it is supposed to b.
in his hand writing, dated Philadel-
phia, June l9, 1920.
"To all limbs of the law who may be
concerned. '
Let the law remain inactive; let
suspicion sleep: let the inquisitive be
silent, for have put period to my own
lile--a life no longer pleasing or happy.
but burthensome to me--l have lived
long enough in, and saw enough of this
world to be convinced 1t IL mos,
wetched abode, and therefore ! go to a.
mother and better world, to seek for
that which is not to be found in this--I
would advise all sensible people to follow
my example, instead OF trying to better
themselves by emigrating to the Ohio,
kentucky, &c.

they have come TO my knowledge, as
follows: A farmer in a neighboring
township, after his family had retired to
rest, was sitting by the fire, ruminating
over the events Of the day and the pros.
poets of tomorrow, when suddenly the
door of his apartment was thrown open,
and in stalked gigantic figure, with
large pair Of horns, very fiery eyes and
terrible aspect, and long brindled tail.
which sw ung about the birthstone ty-
rant in all the majesty of bgliness. The
terrified farmer stood aghast, whilst III a
hoarse, he learned, to his utter fear and
astonishment, that the august parsonage
before him was the Devil, who had
come to take possession of his body and
soul. The luckIcss farmer plead of.
The devil was inexorable. The terri
fed man fell on bis knees and begged
day, promising every thing in the world
for respite. AT length his Internal
Majesty offered to give hun few wears
time for the sum of five hundred dollars,
which the farmer Immediately presented
in bank notes. but the Devil told him
he "durst not touch any paper money-
his fingers would burn it," The tar
mer then promised and swore, that he
would have the nues exchanged for spe-
Gle the next day, and if his Majesty
would please to call upon him the ensu-
ing night he should have it. Upon this
assurance the devil departed, and the
next day the tanner came to this place,
where he procured specie Tor his notes,
and returned hone, happy i'll the thought
of getting SO easily rid OF his u,welcome
visitcr. In the course Of the evening
Yankee pedar stepped at his house. aid
asked for lodgings, which were refused,
and on the Yankees insisting TO stay, as
ne could go no further that night, the
farmer told him that he had better nor.
as the Devil was to be there shortly, and
would, in all probability. take him along.
The Yankee, although I; little surprised
at the oddity OF the man, replied that he
was willing to risk it. He Embarrassed
his nag, swallowed his supper. and after
providing himself with good club,
took his station IN private corner. The
farmer stood his table before the fire, at
one end oi which he took his seat, and
1t the other end paraded his dollars, APP
parenily wishing TO avoid, as much as
possible, the sooty fngers and sulphur

NX7-E have no authentic copy of this most

that supports the proud column OF American
liberty none, at least, on which the eye OF
taste can rest, for moment, with satlstac-
ton. Why have we not
The English nation, still proud of their

siont contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oftheir rulers, have pub
Iislled edition after edition of this instrument,
each more splendid than its predecessor
Sir William Blackstone has collated and
commented on this Gne copy OF Msgna
Charta has been cxceIed by later specimens
of art, and the fac.similes Of she seals and
sgnatur fshaye made every reader OF taste
in Great Britain acquainted, in some de-
gree, not merely with the state acknowledge
aud of art at the period in question, but with
the literary attainnents, also, OF King John,
King Henry, and their :" Barons bold
Surely The Declaration OF American lnde-
pendence is, at least, as well entitled to the
decorations OF art as the Magma Charla OF
England and il the fac SMILES OF the sig
natures of the patriots who signed II were
published in America, it would serve to gra-
tiiy curiosity, at least as laudable as that
which calls Tor limitations CT the correSpon-
dents Of Junus or of the aristocracy that
wrested The English Charter from the reluc-
iant nonarchs o: the day.
We are firmly persuaded that the more
the principles OF our Declaration Of lndepen-
dence are spread out before the eyes OF the
world, the more they will be admired, by
foreign nations as well as our own and eve-
ry innocent and honest device that may serve
to attract attention toward them, will serve,
also, to promote the great cause OF public ii.
berry. Such an embellished edition as will
renderil an ornament to an apartment, will
have tendency to spread the knowledge OF
its contents, among those who would other
wise have turned their thoughts but lightly
towards the subject. Such an edition will
serve 10 place it continually under the eye
of man, woman, and child in a family--it
will associate the pleasurable' ideas Of ele-
gance and ornament with the history of the
transaction tseli--and famiiarize those
principles which form, or ought to form, the
very bond and cement ofpoitcal society,"
