ELEGANT EXTRACT,

The following fine passage is extracted from a
speech of Judge Story, in the late convention OF
Massachusetts. We have rarely met with any
thing more beautiful: and the eulogy is as just
Jas the language is chasie and elegant.
"In our country, the highest man is not above
the people; the humbestis not below the people.
lIf the rich may be said to have additional pro-
Iteclion they have not additional power. Nor
docs wealth here form permanent distinction of
families. Those who are wealthy to-day, pass to
the tomb, and their children divide their estates
Property thus is divided quite as fast as it accu-
mua,es. No family can, without its own exer,
tions, stand erect for a long time under oar sta.
tute Of descent and distributions, and only true
and legitimate law. 1t silently and quietly dis
solves the mass heaped by the toll and diligence
of long life of ente erprise and industry Property
lis continually changing like waves of the sea-
one wave rises and is soon swallowed up in the
vast abyss, and is seen no more. Another arises
land having reached its destined limits falls gen
lily away. and is succeeded by yet another, which
lin its turn, breaks and dies gently on the shore
The richest man among u,, may be brought dowr
to the humblest level; and the child, with scarce
ly clothes to cover his nakcdness, may rise to the
highest office in our government; and the pool
man, while he rocks his infant on his knees, ma,
iustly indulge the consolation, that if he possesse
talents and virtue, there is no office beyond tb
,Ireach of his honorable ambition"
The Wilmingtonian., 1823-12-25
AVOIDING THE COLD.

The following extraordinary account of the Pc
cuarities ola MIR Tails, who lived at the Crown,
at Bnrcatt, near Droitwicl, and kept his he'd
eight and twenty years, in order to keep hIm-
self warm, was written in 1853, by gentleman
who visited him. The old gentleman was then
seventy Two years of age, and so hearty in bis ap-
petite, that double quantity Of viciuals was
always sent UP to him: he was cheerful in con-
|vcrsa'ion, and in countenance lively and in,el!i-
gent. As warmth was his object in keeping his
bed he had no lack of clothing. " lis night cap"
says his bographer, "conssts OF the following
particulars nearest his head is cap made OF
1.-TWO yards of flannel, doubled and quilted, over
which he has eight more of the game sort, amolin-
ting in the whole to eighteen yards; over these
he has two linen night-caps ofthe like quality and
lsize; next comes what he calls his crown, which
lis forty yards Of flannel; and to crown this lie
has ten single linen night-caps, and as many ol
flannel; so that the full contents of his night.cap
are eighty four yards; and it is, including his
head, as large as a beehive. Upon his breast
there lays piece of flannel strained upon Light
square wooden frame, which he lays over his
face when he is going to Sleep He has two stop
pers of cork fitted to his nostrills, but these he
uses only in the winter; and it is remarkable
that though he takes so much PAINS to keep him
self warm in bed, he will never in the coolest
season, suffer fire in his room His sheets are

Ihis bed he turns from one side TO the other, anr
lis never moved out of it but once year, whci
they draw another bed close to the side of tina
] in which he lies, and he tumbles or is tumbet
into it. He changes his bed clothes and bedding
and his nightc cap once year Tne reason to
so eccentric mode OF life, he readily narrated
to his friend. He stated, that when lie was young
. land had the care of his fathers farm, he discov

! LOT stealing sticks from the hedges. She had go
5 ia bundle, which he ordered her Immediately t

with upifted hands, she prayed that he nigh
lnever more be warm, and never know the warmt
ola fire. Immediately said he, in relating th
circumstance, 9 began to feel myself chilly, am

oIafter his encounter with the old woman %
