A worthy Minister, whom shall call
the Rev. Mr. Moncriet, resided near
Edinburgh, about the year l746. He
was generally esteemed for his piety,
and attention to his ministerial duties.
He preached the whole truth of God, in
style plain and simple, calculated at
once to inform the understanding, and,
under the divine blessing, to effect the
heart. 1t was his custom to go from
home annually to receive his yearly sti-
pend; which was managed with so much
care and frugality, that it became ust
sufficient for the support of the family,
without any surplus at the end OF the
year. To the produce. and domestic
economy of Mrs. Moncrief much OF
this was to be attributed. She neither
affected the fine lady, nor did she bring
herself into contempt by her vulgarity.
She new when to be silent, and when to
speak; and in stead of listening to the
idle reports and vain tattle of some bu-
sy bodies in the congregation, she heard
their tales and buried them in her own
mind, without relating them to others.
The season having arrived when Mr..
Moacrieftook his journey for the pur-
pose of receiving his stipend, he left
home on foot, unattended and unarm-
ed; and, having settled his business, was
returning to his habitation. Scarcely
had he proceeded half way, before a
young man presented himself before
him, and peremptorial insis ed on his
money, at the same time raising piss
toll 10 enforce his demand. The light
of the moon enabled Mr.. Moncref to
recognise in the robber no less char
acter than Saunders Mainland, linen
draper, who had recently failed The
frmness of the good minister astonish-
ed young Mainland. This, SIR" said
he, sis my first attempt; have been
unfortunate, | am destitute of every
thing. Your character | respect and
tits no intention of my heart to offer you
either injury or insult, but distress i'm
pelse to this actionn These words
were delivered in so modest and hum
BILE tone, that confirmed MIR. Nj in
the sentiment, that he was not lost in
vice; and prompted by his sacred Office,
and desire to deter the young man
from his purpose, he began to reason
with him, and pointed out to him, in
strong, nervous language, the great
crime he was about to commit-the cru
city of depriving a minister of d whole
years subsistence for himself and fani-
ly. and the awful end that awaited all
who pursued so dangerous a course.
Often he recalled to his mind the con-
victions of his conscience, and the admo-
nifions he had received in private, as
well as in public; and added with firm
voice, The end Of these things is death.
Mainland listened with attention, and,
during the address, his e es aud his pis-
tol often fell below the plain of the hori-
zon For some time an internal con-
aict was maintained, between the de-

were performed she had him laid out
ira mahogany coffin, the head crowned
with myrtle, and covered with arobe of
satan decorated with lace, 10 the admit
ration of the curious, to whom, as they
approached, she caused cake and wine
to be distributed This strange occur
renee collected such crowds of people,
and the tumult became so great, that
the Intervention of the police became
necessary, who were obliged to have re-
course to arms before they could res
tore quite and peace. 1t is worthy of
remark. that this said widows conduct
in every other respects perfectly con-
formable to the rules and sound reason,
still visits regularity the tomb of her
husband, and has not permitted a hand
kerchief, which is attached to the coffin,
to be washed, being that with which
she used to wipe away, the perspiration
from the forehead of her husband dur
ing his last illness, and which she still
uses in wiping away the tears which she
sheds for him, though he has been dead
