a thing totally unworthy coil liquor; it has
excited dom. site brois amongst us, and has
brought on us the merciless libertine, whose
known rule of. warfare is undist ngni he'd
destruction of happiness among all conditions
of people. A kquor which is thus marked by
every act that can define tyrant, Is unfit to
be the ruler of any people. Nor have we been
wanting in attention TO Brandy and Whiskey
We have warned them from time to time OF al
tempts to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction
over us; but they too have been deaf to the voice
of reason. " e must therefore acquiesce in the
necessity which denounces our separation, and
hold them as we hold all liquors in
excess-in moderation friends.

heretofore published, nasmuch as The interpo-

ordo of the words IN the more intricate parts of
the text substituted. Another important i'm

copious English notes neurological, bogra-

WELLINGTON.

The Standard, paper established in London
SOON after Mr.. Canning's elevation, is said 10
be in the interest Of the Duke Of WELLINGTON
The following defence, or rather eulogy Of him
appeared in the 25th No.
When we read the vile intrigues, through
which the Duke of Marlborough was stripped
OF the same Offices which the Duke of yelling.
ton has sesigned; when we review the articles
by which cunning and specious deciaImer aid
cd by the male parasites and female minions of
court, worked upon the passions of TOO
suppIiant Sovereign, and compelled the retire
ment Of Marlborough-we are lost in wonder
that the same characters, and the same means,
and the same results, which disgraced the reign
OF Queen Anne; should be, almost literally, re-
produced on the shifting scene Of politics, to
disgrace the reign Of George the Fourth We
are flled with disgust a, finding that the same
victory, which was achieved in I7l2, by ST.
John, Hill, and Masham. has been again a.
chieved in 1927, by Canning, a Knighton, and
Conynsham.
Let us be just, too, TO ourselves. The people
have not yet adopted, in the Duke Of Yelling
toms case, the maIignity Of his traducers, nor
have they conuived at the ingratitude Of the
court. Let US hope, that when the time arrives,
generous spirit will assert itself: and 10 take
case alluded TO- that when Nsevius Canning
shall again calumniale orally orin print the con-
queror of the biteres, foe of our Empire, the
people Of England will initiate the better part
OF Roman feeling, and abandon the demagogue
10 join in celebrating the triumph Of their
champion and deliverer The precedent will
be found in Aulus Gellius, in Livy, and in Vale
RUS MaXimus-once more we leave it the imi-
talon Of our readers
How yoDr n Scir,io 4 E., Jeanne bo .IJer ox,
celcd in the splendour Of his great qualities
Of how magnanimous spirit he was-and how
lofty in just reliance upon his own dignity, is
made manifest by many Of his actions and his
words. Take two examples ofhis fortitude and
elevation Of soul. When NJ. Nevius, tri-
bune of the people, uraed several accusations
against him, impuling actions unworthy of his
great character, Scipio, alter short preface,
such as his renown, and the dignity of his life
seems to claim, addressed the assembly as fol
lows
'Romans-1t occurs to my mind that this
as the anniversary OF tina, great DAY, when Han.
nibal the Carhagenian, the most powerful and
the most inveterate enemy our empire ever had,
was overcome by my arms IN mighty battle

peace and victory beyond your hopes. Let
us not be ungra!eful TO heaven; buttet US leave
this rascal to himself, AMI proceeding 10 the

potent with thanks.
Having said This, he turned about, and
walked to the capitol, followed by the whole
crowd which had collected TO sit in Judgment
on him; but who, upon this address, deserted
the tribune, joined Scipio in his thanksgiving,
and conducted him fromthe Capitol TO his own
house, with shouts OF Joy and solemn triumph

remain that all were not SO successful.
In one of the last excavations. made bv
the French, four female skeletons were
found lying together, with their ornaments
bracelets and rings, and with their little
hoard OF COINS in gold and silver. They
probably had been sufocated by the sui
phurous vapor. In a wine cellar, known
by Its jars ranged round the wall. a male
skeleton, supposed to be that of master

STORY OF A LIFE.
He lived and died the lot Of man
In these few simple words is told,
Since time his swift career began,
And worlds around their circuits rolpd.
And is this ALI From age to age,
Go, number back the years gone by,
Turn over hstory's ample page
Yes, this is all that meets the eye.
He lived, a feversh, ftfui thing,
Through days, or months, or years Of care
peasant or perchanee king;
Titles but faint distinction are.
He had his pleasures and delights,
His bitter draughts and golden days,
His cankering tolls and wakeful nights,
Ills laurel aud bis cypress bays.
He died; and DER his moulded grave,
With fearless eyes, his brothers trod.
Place, power, nor titled rank could save
Him from that last, lone, low abode.
And sealed forever from the eye
His destiny and doom, at last,
From the worlds cold, cold memory,
His name into oblivion passd.

Jockey who should rate theprice of an horse
