A STRONG ARGUMENT.

Mr.. A. was Spectator of land, and
sold farm to MIR. B., who was an ac-
tive industrious young man, but in the
babit of making too free use of ardent
spirits. He settled upon the land, and
was much engaged in getting out lums
Der to pay for it. While on his way
with his team from the lot to the wharf,
he would never forget to stop at Mr..
CPS. tavern and take what he would
call good drink of grog. The habit
Of excessive drinking grew upon him,
until he was frequently seen intoxica.
ted. At length Mr.. A. had occasion 10
call at the same inn. The landlord
observed to him, B. will never pay you
for your land; he is growing very in-s
temperate. know that, Mr.. A., but
he is a good fellow to work and when
he has cleared up the land and made
all the betterments he can, ! msan tol

this, b. came in as usual after his grog.I
The lnnkeeper related the converse i
ton which had passed between him
and MIR. A. This proved powerful

A strange feeling, from some un.

the lady asked me my name.
'Charles Hadley, madam ! replied.
sWhat /! it cannot benny boy--my
boy. Great God thank thee
Il stood in my mothers house, A
ray Of joy fell upon the abode of sor-

My mother clasped my hand, and
from it drew ring; twas the same
she gave me--there were the initials
upon it. She retired to pray, and the
tears fell fast and thick-but they were
tears Of joy.
Though my mother drank deeply Of
the cup Of sorrow, joy gladdened her
heart on the return Of long lost son.
And while she tarried on earth, her
situation was comfortable and happy,
and when summoned to appear before
her judge, she left this world in full

Capture of Irinedad.-When the
British soldiers landed, they broke 0.
pen the boiling house and distillery,
and made grog in very original mans
ner and on very extensive scale.-
They rolled out three hogsheads of su.
gar, and seven puncheons Of rum, which
they emptied into a well Of water, drew
up the mixture in buckets-full, and
drank it. This singular mode of max.
ing grog was introduced by the regi.
ment under the command Of Colonel
Picton-the immortal Picton of Wa
terloo. During his Government he
endeavoured to make the Colonial De.
partment reimburse the proprietor Of
the plantation for the damage sustains
ed on the landing Of bis regiment; this
he was not able to accomplish. Sir
Thomas Picton was one of the most
able Governors this Island ever had.
His manner of treating debtors that
had the means, but wanted the will to
pay, was original !; instead ofundergo.
ing the heavy delay ola Spanish law
process, creditors were in the habit Of
going to Governor Picton. He would
summon the debtor before him, and ask
him il the plaintiffs claim was just. II
the defendant answered in the affirma-
tive, Picton rejoined, "Pay him, sir,
Immediately" Perhaps the defendant
would remark that he had not the mo.
ney at the moment. "When will you
have it, Sir ~ "This day week. p"
Here the Governor would say, address
ing the plaintiff, 'shereis your moneys"
at the same time paying him himself;
and then turning 10 the defendant he
would add, "Take care, Sir, that you
produce the money within ten days"
This was enough, for few men would
venture to tritie with the Governor.
He had the art Of making himself loved
and respected by the honest members
ofthe community, and feared by the
worthless Monthly Magazine for
