An Irish mans Defence.

Michael Connolly has, for years, lived, like
many Of his poor countrymen at home-by his
wits. Often before the magistrates for sheep
stealing and similar offences he always escaped
and now, to get rid OF him he is before Baron
Leroy and a jury for vagrancy. He addressed
the court and the jury, on his own behalf, in
Irish-for yop'il never get Golway man, Wit
ness or prisoner, to confess he understands
English. The Judge begged any of the learn
ed counsel who could, to translate the speech
into English--which was done literally as fol-
lows: .sHc SUBMITS" said the interpreter,
ssthat wha. is alleged against him, proves his
honesty. True he has been often tried, but
never condemned This is in his favor. May
be, if your lordshp and the jury had becntricd
as often. it's not in the box or on the bench,
but in Jail or over seas you would be this day
The oftener gold is molten in the furnace and
purified in the fire the brighter it appears
His case is like that of Jonah-for Mr.. Lop-
dell. cone Of the magistrates,) is very much
like whale, and sought TO deYour him; but
he escaped as did Jonah, and came out clean.
He is accused OF selling legs Of mutton in the
fairs and markets for Cd; (he stole the sheep

them y but this shows that with his industrious
habits as a butcher, he joins good nature to
the poor. He is ready to be tried for sheep
stealing but he denies he can be sentenced as
q vagrant'' The judge left it to the jury,
who unfortunately for poor Connolly, bad not
ga doubt, of which TO give him the benefit. y
So he got three months leisure TO concoct his
next defence.

A Bold Preacher,
next defence

When Samuel Davies was president OF
Princeton College, he visited England for the
purpose Of obtaining donations for the lnstitu-
tion-George the Second had curiosity to
hear a preacher from Ssthe wids Of America"
He accordingly attended, and was SO much
struck with the commanding eloquence OF the
preacher, that he expressed his astonshmcnt
loud enough to be heard half way over the
church in such terms as these:
she is a wonderful man. Why he, beats
my bishops ~
Davies observing that the king was attract
ting more attention than himself. paused. and
looking his majesty full in the face. gave him,
in az emphatic tone the following rebuke:
s.When the lion roareth, let the beasts OF
the forest tremblc; and when the Lord speak
eth, let the kings of the earth keep silence
The king instantly shrunl1 back in his seat
and remained quiet during the remainder OF
the sermon. The next day the monarch sent
for him, and gave him fifty guineas for the In
stitution over which he presided, observing at
the same time TO his scourtiers-.sHeis is an hon

Beautiful Fable.

4 gentleman who was arranging the walks
around his residence. stumbled over lump of
earth, which had rolled from newly unloadcd
heap of gravel. He kicked it aside, and bade
the gardner's son remove it with other rub
bish.
The boy carried the ciod to spot beneath
the caves Of his fathers cottage, where the
rain fell upon it. Whether it contained seed,
slip, or root, is not known; but ere long beau
tiful vine sprung ont OF it, which shaded and
adorned the cottage, and was annually loaded
with grapes of the richest kind, which the
gentleman was glad to buy at thigh price OF
the gardeners son, who would by 10 means
part with his vine.
The latent principles OF subiimer growth
are lying in many human cIod, now quite
valueless and unsightless TO those who count
themselves the elegant of the earth.
The clod would come TO life and bear fruit
high above their heads, if they were only
given to few drippings from the eaves-Lu-
