II Jous J. CRIrTEsDEN.-In conversation
few days since. with lawyer who was az
enthusiastic admirer Of this Rrea, man, lie re
lated 10 us an instance in Mr.. Crittenden'.
professional career, Illustrative of hi. singular
power before jury.
\ Mr.. Crilienden was engaged in defending
man who was indicted for capital offence.
After an elaborate aud powerful defence, he
closed his effort by the following sriki and
beautiful allegory
When God in his eternal councils con-
ceived the thought Of man 3 creation, he called
to him the three ministers who wait constant
y about his thronc-Justice, Truth, and
Mercy, and thus addressed them Shall we
make mani Then said Justice, % God,
make him not, for no will trample upon thy
laws. Truth made answer also, 20 God
make him not, for he will polule thy scantua
ries ! bu. Mercy, dropping upon her knees,
and looking up through her tears, exclaimed
. God, make him. will watch over him
and surround him with my care, through all
the dark paths which he may have to tread.
Then God made man and said TO i'm, Oh
man, thou art the child of Mercy; 60, and
deal lightly with thy brother.'"
Tho jury, when he had finished were
drowned in tears, and against evidence
and against what must have been their own
convictions, brought in speedy verdict of
" no, guilty"

Cicero relates, that the ugliest and mos,
stupid slaves in Rome, came from England
Moreover, he urges his friend Atticus" not to

their domestic and social habits the Brtons
