Vinegar and wa ter constituted the only drink of the sol- diers of the Roman Republic: and it is well known that they marched and fought in a l warm climate, and beneath load of arms weighing 60 pounds. Boaz, a wealthy far mer in Palestine, we read in the Bible, treated his reapers with nothing bat bread dipped in vinegar.

The boys being unwilling to bring in their offending comrade, who was soon discover ed, they laid their hands upon meagre looking Frenchman, who happened to pass by at the time they brought him in and accused him of the trespass, upon which, without hearing what he had to say for himself, the doctor said, " Take him ups and gave him just such logging as he would one of his own boys. The Frenchman it ill vain to show his resentment for the unexpected chastisement he had received, to master surrounded by his scholars, and exposed to their hooting, indignantly retreated, but at the first coffee house he came to, stopped, wrote.the doctor a challenge, and sent it by porter.
