MIR. CLAY Az TIE BAR.

This veteran patriot, as we learn from
the Alabama Monitor, is again practising
the profession of the law. At the age OF
6S, Mr.. Cay's returns TO the Bar with all
the ygor and buovancy Of man Of forty.
five. Since The Presidential election, his
health and cheerlulness have greatly i'm
proved. His neighbors remark that they
have not seen him look so well in many
years. While in public life, or as can
didatc, he was conscious that great respon.
sibility rested on him as political leader.
Now that he sustains no such relation, his
mind is relieved from great burden. As
n citizen, he affects no indifference TO pub
lie affairs. On the contrary, he takes o
deep interest in them, and the last motion
Of his heart will be for the welfare and
honor of his beloved country.
Ii is said that Mr.. Clay visits his office
daily in Lexington, and applies himself
with the assiduity of young man TO the
duties of his profession. His practice is
of course extensive for scarcely will AT
important case be tried without his servi
ces being engaged by one Of the parties
Fortunately, Mr.. Clay has an iron consti
tuition. His person is erect, and his eye
retains the fire of youth. Eloqucnce equa
TO his, Mt the Bar of the Senate, has never
been heard in this Union, unless it wa.
that of Patrick Henry. Between these
two sons Of Virginia there is striking re
semblance, not less in the splendor of thei
q r
in their old age. After devoling thirty
years of his life to the service Of his coun
try, Patrick Henry found himself poor anc
compelled to toll at the Bar for the supper
OF his family, and the payment of his debts
Though Mr.. Clay has good property
vet he is involved TO some extent on &C
count of others. His liberal hospitalit,
has also been drain to his purse. Thi
drain he will never stop. AT all times, hi
