There, you may keep your seat, and tel) those present what the first line of that note says,” said the defendant with a coolness that sur- prised the audience and puzzled the judge.

The note is not due yet. 2 BROUGHAM AND BURR. Lord Brougham. in bis address the other day before the Mechanics’ Institute at Manchester ured the following language : * The first duty of a man is to provide for bix own independence by his own werk, and not either to amuse himself or indulge in any gratification—not even in that more than inno- cent, most sacred gratification, of assuaging hie tigret for knowledge—until he has ip his day's work, and done that which itis his boun- den duty as well as bis highest interest to do, work with his own hands for the provision with health enough to continue, even atmy advanced time of life, I shall continne to labor; and I shail never henceforth, ahy other rules as to which [would allow no com- promise, no middle course whatever, and they are the maxims which ought to preside over a man’s whole employment of his time. The one is, todo one thing at a timo only; the next, is never to put off trit to-morrow what yorremr do to-day: and the third, \wiways to finish one thing before you begin another. A very great and most celebrated man in Holland—De Witt —was once asked how it happened that he got through so much business and of sueh varied kind, fur he was not only a great states- inan and @ minister, but also a most eminent mathematician and a literary man; and his an- swer was that it was by two rales which he always cbserved—to do one thing only at a time. and never to put off till to-morrow what be could do to-day. These were his golden rales. I knewa great statesman, now xv move, ef another country, who used to say, on the other band, his principle was. ‘ Never to do to- day what you could put off till to-morrow.’ And when I cried out against this ag a most dozen instances in which much advantage had were certainly the exceptions to the rule. I admit that be urged his perverse maxim rather I think it was no recommendation of it that he could produce so few instances in its favor.”” We were at first disposed to think that the statesman of an ther country was Aaron Burr, who is the author of an aphorism of which the one quoted by Brougham reminds us. Burr | used to say, “I never put off till to-morrow what [ cun do to-day, and I nevercome to a conclusion upon anythin; which of these rules of action betray most sa- gacity. eee A Bir or Rowaxce.—Ten years @ young oglishman ran away from late ine he was highly connected. came down to Liverpool took s ship that was up for New Orléans, and in due course of time landed in this city with @ light heart in his breast, and between or two howe, and, what between wine and women, had managed to suaander a large fortune, besides ing himself se taken the precaution to provide himself with letters of introduction to respectable parties in this city, and by this means he soon formed acquaiutance of a you: lady, who, b } death of ber father, hed m4 been left whe | heiress to a large estate. warm attachment | s000 sprung up between the two, and our you: egies one fine day, made the teaye formal tender of bis bend aad heart.
