Victor, what avails the wreath
T hat 'erst entwined thy^bnrw ?
Alas I those flow'rs no longer breath,
For death hath laid thte low :
Ah 1 whal avails the storied urn
That blazons forth thy fame ?
That sculptured vale to dust shall turn
Oblivion blot thy name.
\Vhat too avails these scars so dee^i,
Received in battle fray ?
They're firtofi of valor /"?-Time shall
sweep
Thy valor's proofs away i
And what avails the poet's sonfc
That sounds thy praises forth T
The poet's head shall rqst ere long
U pon its mother earth*
Av'rice* what avails thy dreams
Of happiness from gold ?
Thy fun'ral torch already gleams*
Thy days on earth arc told :
What now avails thy hoarded wealth,
Is it with the inurn'd ?
No? ^ u naked from the earth you came,
And naked have return'd I*'
beauty, what avails the rose
That decks thy dimple cheek ?
Ape on thy head shall strew bis snows,
And death his vengeance wreak :
And what avails thy Form so fair,
Or eyetso dazzling bright ?
Th?t form shall waste 'neath sullen c are,.
[ Those suns shall set in night.
But blest RtLratoic, still arattyf
Thy hofie blif in Hcav'n ;
For though, the barque, by adverse gales,
On death's dark ahore be driv'n i
Yet thou canst smile ? thy steady eye
Can pitrce the checrlcss gloom,
And view through dark futurity,
The day */iring of the tomb.

AN HONEST LAWYEIl. I
The following ' extraordinary adver
tisement is copied from a 'Tennes
see paner, and is respectfully de
dicated to young practitioners at
the Bar . < x -
FIAT JUSTITIA. -
Having adopted the above motto,
Us early as I hud the honor of admis
sion to the Bar, 1 have convenauted
with toy self that I will never know
ingly depart from it ; and on this
foundation I have built a few max
ims, which afford my reflections an
unspekable satisfaction : |
1. I will practice law, because it
offers to me opportunities of being a i
more useful member to society,
8. I will turn a deaf ear tono man,
because his purse is empty.
8. 1 will advise no roan beyond |
comprehensions of his cause. " ~ ~ ~
4. I will bring none into law who
my conscience tells me should be kept
out
I will never be unmindful of the
cause of humanity ; and this compre
hends the widows, fatherless, atid
those in bondage*
6. I w ill be faithful to my client ? i
but never so unfaithful to myself as
to l>ecoine a party in his crime.
7. In criminal canes, I will not un |
derrate my own abilities ; for if my
client proves a rascal, bin money in
better in my hands ; and it' not, 1
hold the option.
8. I will never acknowledge the
omnipotence of the Legislature ; or
consider their acts to he law beyond
the spirit of the constitution.
9. No man's greatness shall elevate
hi in alwvo the justice due to my
client. u
10. I will not concent to a compro
mise where 1 conceive a verdict essen
tial to my client's future reputation
or protection ; for of this lie cannot
be a complete judge.
it. I will advise the turbulent with
candor, and it they will $o to law
against my advice they must pardon
me for volunteering it against them, j
12. I w'Ij acknowledge every' man's
, right to manage liU own causae if he
I pleases.
The above are roy rules of prac
tice, and though I will not (at any
critical juncture) promise to finish
my busiuess io person, if the public
interest should require my removal
from lience, 1 will do every thing
in my powsr for those who like them,
aiul endeavour io leave it into proper
hands, if 1 sliould be absent.

THE ODD FELLOW.
Your odd fellow is one who will
do nothing like the rest of the world.
There was, a few years ago, a re
markable illustration of this character
In one White, a man of a smainri
dependent fortune, who lived in the
Brough of Southwark ; this man act-,
ed wholly upon the principles of con
tradictions; on a sunday lie jilways.
wore the worst cloathes, and fed on
the worst food lie could get, because
other people both cat and wore, the
best ; on ^Monday,- because it is-A.
holyday, he used to employ himself
in some kind of work from the morn
ing till night, the rest of the week
he kept holyday, dressing himself
just decent on a Tuesday, better on
a Wednesday, better still on Thurs
day, and so ort till Saturday eve
ning, when other people are busy
and dirty, he was the idlest and best
drest man in the parish. He used
to make &point of dinning on a goose
/on Shrove Tuesday and on pancakes,
on Michaelmas-day and fed upon
oysters as long as the weather con
tinued hot, bu( left oft' eating them
as soon as there was any in the month;
he almost starved himself on a Christ*
mas day, and eat like -a glutton ;
I when there was a public proclama-,
tion for a fast ; when it rained hard
he went without bia waistcoat or
great coat, but would button himself
close and warn in the hottest day in
the summer ; he wrote with a skew*
er cut in thfc form of a pen and fast
ened his letters with paste, he con
stantly sat on a low table and eat off
a chair ; he slept iu the kitchen boMtft
fasted in the garret, dintd in the cel
lar, and eat supper all the year round "
in the passage, leading to the street
. door ; he married three wives and
lived witfcjtf ther of them ; once a
month he m&u a coach, but always
rode with the coaekman ; he some
times called for liquor at a public
house, but always drank it at the
door, he shaved himself with a pen
knife and combed his wig with the
cloths brush j sometimes, went io
church, And staid the whole service
- but never sat down ; when in com
pany he never spoke a word, bnt
when alone he waa always talking
to himself; when ne was sick he
? sent out for the butcher* but often
when in health consulted the anothe*
cary ; he paid his house rent in the
middle of the quarter, or always be
fore it cam* due ; when he died he
owed no mau a shilling, and took
sufficient care that no man should
ever owe him six pence.
Method of making Leather impervi*
ohm to water.
The New England Fishermen
preserve their Ixxta tight against wa
ter, by the following ihethod, which
it is said, has hern in use among them
above an hundred years. A pint of
bottled linseed oil, half a pint of
muttou suet, six ounces of clean bees
wax, aud fouy ounces of rosin, are
melted and will mixed over a
Of this, while warm not so hot as
may l>urn the leather, with a brush
lay plentifully on new lx>ots or shoes
when they are quite dry and clean.
The leather is left pliant. Fisher
men stand in their boots hour after
hour, withoift inconvenience. For
three years past, all my slioes even of
calf skin, have been so served ; aud
have in no instance admitted water
to pass through the leather. It is
also a good salve.
