.4necdote Of Washington. One Reuben Ron.
Nv. of Virginia, owed the General about one
thousand pounds. While President Of the
Uuitrd States. Que Of his agents brought an &C.
ton for the money; judgment was obtained. aad
the execution issued against the body OF the de-
PENDANT, who was taken to Jail. He had con.
siderable landed estate. but this kind of proper
ty cannot be sold 10 Virginia for debts. unless at
the direction of the owner. He had large
family, and for the sake Of his children preferred
living in Jail to selling his land. A friend limited
10 him that probably Gen. Washington did not
know any thing Of the proceedings. and that it
might be well TO send him petition. with q
statement of the circumstances. He did SO, aud
the very next post from Philadelphia, after the
arrival Of his petition in that city, brought him
an order Of immediate release, together with .
full discharge, aud severe reprimand to the
agent for having acted in such manner.
Poor Rouzy was, in consequence, restored to
his family, who never laid down their heads at
night without presenting prayers to heaven Tor
their beloved Washington. Providence smiled
on the labors Of the grateful family, and ~ few
years, Rouzy enjoyed the requisite pleasure OF
being able TO lay the one thousand pounds, with
the interest, at the feet Of this truly great man.
Washington reminded him the debt was DIS.
charged. RouZy replied the debt oil his family
to the father Of their country. and preserver Of
their parent, could never be discharged; and
the General, to avoid the pleasing opportunity
Of the grateful Virginian, who would not be
denied. accepted the money; only. however. to
divide it among Rouzy's ehlldrea; which he I'm
mediately did.

PAYING DEBTS.

II is a fact, we believe, that newspaper
debts are held by large majority ofthosc
who contract them, Of inferior obligation
TO almost any other. 1t is not the less
true, that Upon every principle Of business,
and in the strictest right, they are Of as
high obligation'as debts ofany description
can be.
A man pays cash for his daily food and
clothing, and for all mechanics work.
lie pays interest in adpance on his bank
debts or his credit is dishonored. So far
from pa, ing in advance, many Of our
friends think they act 1iberally ifthey pay
C,rtheir papers at the end Of the year;
and men who plume themselves on their
punctuaIity and scrupulously honest deal
ing in other respects. will let theirnews-
paper accounts run Sone, two, tnree or
more years, II not called upon, until the

Now, ,rhy should man pay his butch
or, or his baker, his tailor or his shoemak-
er, or his landlord, more willingly than
he pays the publisher Of newspaper to
which he is a subscriber The butcher
aud the baker turn over their money per.
haps fifty times in the year. The money
received to-day is laid out for cattle, or 0
fresh supply Of 6our, before the end ofthe
week, which is sold out again the week
following. A profit often PEI cent upon

Al the low prices to which csmpetition
has reduced newspapers, how is it posi-
BILE for any one to conduct business Of
this sort, without payments being made in
advance, or at least with regularity land al
reasonable intervals!

newspapers yield large profit ; we have

A portion of the "Old Dominion" liv-

pie of jackets belonging to two posiillions
that they could not resist the temptation
Of adding them to their stock in trade
While they were secreting their prize, the

where they had been drinking a pot ol

They rushed out, seIzed the lsraeites,
locked them up in the stable, and went in
quest of certain things which promised
better sport than a prosecution. They
returned, tied the two Jews face to face,
and matted together their two boards,

As soon as the wax was cold, and suilic-
