Byron. hi : One bpautitul. autumnal morning 1 arose be- t' fore the jday light had stolen Over the lace of the world, to-wonder lorth among the gteen clad hills that lay around my dwelling,-and seek refreshment in the contemplations of a a-solitary walk, afterhe fatigues of a sleepless and uneasy night, i , i In puirsuing mv walk I. readied the summit of an adjacent cliff, fatigued with reflection, and feeling the want of my necessary rest, I threw myself upon a grassy tuft, either to seek con solation in thought, or repose in slumber. Here I .reviewed what had already glided away ; of my existence,, and endeavored to draw aside the curtain that obscured the future, but my ef forts were ineffectual, and I turned again to the past, as the mirror in which to behold futurity. What an unpleasant picture did it present; my life the morning of which was speedily to ter minate,', had been allowed to pass in compari tive idleness, what had I done for the world that would perpetuate my name through gener ations to come. What had I done for literature oriscience that their.votaries might point to me "as tHe guiding star of their labors, what had I discovered - in philosophy or 'given to mankind that would build a temple in their hearts on .which niy name should rest forever ! Nothing'. I felt my own. insignificance, my own deg'rada tionf I however resolved to rise above the vul "';gar. herd of men, who creep through life as if their faculties were made to rest dormant ra ther than to expand into usefulness. As I ru- ruinated o my situation the desire for distinc : tion became more and more intense, I looked ion: wisdom as the sunshine of contentment, the . parent of happiness ; my imagination burned as I ran ever the catalogue of chosen names that dwell within my mind, to find some one whose path I could pursue till I attained and shared nis imi mortality. But there was none whom I desirec to rival in his particular course, for the Words of Dr.j Johnson came coldly upon me. where lie says "'that nd man was ever great by imitation;' I tfren determined to find some un ' trodden road that would lead me on to fame and honor. Having resolved to spend the rest of my days in study till I arrived at eminence, and was distinguished among my fellow men for science and learning, I fell into slumber, and at length a soft sleep lulled me quite into fpr getfulncss. I dreamed I was a lonely and un happy being, wanderingover tile earth in search of some kindred soul to whom my heart would respond in lnencisnip . ana warm into love, l -dreamed I was old and that my youth -had been spent in the search of - fame ; long weary days had been absorbed in the pursuit; anxious nights ' of troubled thoughts were devoted t6gain the approbation of the world, nothing had been jdeemed too precious, even, neaitn itseii was Hiiade a willing sacrifice at this shrine of sha- it w;as long before 1 found resolution to into effect my desire, and when I had carry done so, every where I met thousands coritend- viiig for the same prize wit h myself, I wa rank ed with them and shared their prizes. This was not! "my wish, it was to rise like a meteor "into the Iieaven of distinguished greatness and shine above those les'ser lights that looked on4 me with envy; fate hadrlaid her unmoving Rand tipon me, and held me back until now, but I de termined to struggle with energy until I reaped the harvest of my hopes; in the midst ' of my resolution I asked my heart why I should court the smiles of those made like myself to die ; in ihe last day when nature and her labours Idis solvei what will be then all earthly famej all earthly praise? like a bubble on the ocean, im known, unseen. I dreamed that I was strol ling along, when suddenly my walk was inter rupted by a chasm illimitable in depth and in ex.teit.-' . . .-' . - 'ondering, I stood upon the precipice ; all befote me wk dark and fathomless; not a sound was heard to issue from this gloomy place; not nu echo answered to my oft repeated call, nor was there a passing breeze to bring even a soli- iht snJrp it a ly sweeping through xne space, it seemed to move r x j- nity, and float along as iuZl 7 eCt dl?' : ed it till my head grew diZ2v : 1 watch" ! ting to recede from the feajnj TriJi? refused to move.

When the poor man was brought into the court, the prosecutor I appeared and swore most manfully to every article in the indictment. lie was cross ex- amined by the Jurors, who were composed of honest tradesmen and farmers. 1 he poor man had no lawyers to tell his story ; he pleaded his own cause, he pleaded, not to the fancy but to the" heart. The jury found him , not guilty. The court was enraged ; but the sur rounding spectators, gladdened to exultation, uttered shouts of applause The Judge told the Jury they must go back to their jury room and recotisider the matter ; adding, " he was surprised they could presume to return so infa mous a verdict." The Jury bowed, went back and in a quarter' of an hfyur returned, when the foreman, a venerable old man, thus ad dressed the. bench; "My lord, in compliance with your desire, we went back tovourjury room;, but as .we found no reason to alter our verdict, we return it in the same words as be fore, not guilty. We heard your lordship s extraordinary! language of reprpof, but we do not accept it as properly or Warrantably apply ing to us. It is true, my lord, that we ourselves, individually considered in our private capaci ties, may be poor, insignificant men, therefore, in that light, we claim nothing out of this box above the common regards, of our humble but honest stations but, my lord, assembled here as a jury, we cannot be insensible to the great and constitutional importance of the department we now fillfe; we feel, my lord, that we are appoint ed, as you are, by the law and the constitution, not oily as an impartial tribunal to judge be tween the king and his subjects, offended and offender, but 'we act in a situation of still great er confidence for we form, as a jury the barrier of the people against the possible influence, prejudice, passion, or corruption of the bench. To you, my lord, meeting-yoii within these walls, I, for my own part, might possibly measure my respects by yourj-private virtues ; but the moment I am enclosed in this place, your private character is invisible ; for it is, in my eyes, veiled in your official one, and to open.conducfr ia that only can We look ; This jury, my lord, does not, in this business, presume to offer to that bench the smallest de gree of disrespect, much less of insult ; we pay it the respect one tribunal should pay to anoth er, for the common honor of both. This jury, my lord, did not arraign that bench with parti ality, prejudice, infamous decision, nor yet with influence, passion, corruption, oppression or tyranny; no, we looked to it as the mercy seat of royalty, as the sanctuary of truth and justice. Still, my lord, we cannot blot from our minds the records of our old school books, nor erase the early inscriptions written on our intellects and memories. Hence we must be mindful that monarchs and judges are but falli ble mortals, that tyrants have sat on thrones, and; that the mercy seat of royalty, and the sanctuary of .justice, have been polluted by a Tressillian, a Scraggs, and a Jeffries. Here was a frown from the bench. . Nay, my lord, I am a poor man, but I am a a free born subject of the kingdom of Ireland, a member of the constitution ; nay, I am now higher, for I am the representative thereof. ' I therefore ; claim for myself and fellow ju rors, the liberty of speech ; and if I am refu sed it here, I shall resume it at the door of this court house, and tell them why I deliver my mind there instead of delivering it in this place. Here the-bench assumed complacency. Nay, my lord, we have nothing to do with your private character ; we know you are here only in that of a judge ; and as such we would respect you ; you know nothing of us but as a jury ; and in that situation we would look to you for reciprocal respect, because we know of no man, however high his title or his rank, in whom the law or the constitution would warrant an unprovoked insult towards the tri bunal in whom the people have vested the dear est and most valuable privilege they possess. I before "said, my lord, that we are here met, not individually, nor do we presume pre-eminence ;, but in the sacred character of a jury, we should be wanting in reverence to the con stitutioh itself, if we did not look for the respect of every man who regards it. We sit here, my lord, sworn to give a verdict according to onrf consciences, and the best of our opinions, on the evidence before us We have in our minds, acquitted our duty as honest men. If we have erred, we are answerable, not to your lordship, nor to that bench, nor to the king who placed you there but to a higher &ower, the KING OF KINGS !" The bench was dumb, the box silent ; but approbation was murmured throughout the crowd ; and the poor man was discharged. To illustrate the extraordinary virtues and independence displayed by the above jury, would require more than ordinary talents ; suffice it to say, that it ought to be instilled into the mind, and the lesson engraven on the heart of every man, that he may Jbe prepared for that exalted station. , Drunkemiess Taught.

What is it to me if my neighbor s grandfather were a Syrian, or his grandmother is illegitimate, or that another is indebted five thousand pounds, or whether his wife be ex pensive? But, commonly, iburious persons or (as the Apostle's phrase is) busybodies, are not solicitous or inquisitive into the beauty-and order of a well governed family, or after the virtues of an excellent person; but if there be any thing for which men keep locks and bars, things thatblush to see the light and are either shameful in manners, or private in nature these things are their care and their business.

They used to tell a pleasant story on the subject, for which we are-indebted to Pausanias. About thirty furlongs from the city of Sparta, Icarius placed a statute of Modesty, for the purpose ot perpet uating the following incident: " Icarious hav ing married his daughter to Ulysses, solicited his son-in-law to .fix his household in Sparta, and remain there with his wife, to which Ulys ses would not consent. Frustrated in his ap plication to the husband, he made the like re mipst to his daiio-hter. roniurine- her not to -- j- O I - abandon him: but seeing her ready to depar with TTIvssps for Tthara. he redoubled his ' f- " , - 7 - ' forts to retain her, nor could he be prevailed upon to desist from following the chariot on the way. Ulysses, shocked at the desperate situa tion of lis father-in-law, and wearied with his importunities, addressed his wife: 'You can ansWer- his request: it is yours to determine whether you will remain with your father at Sparta, or depart with vour husband tor Itha ca : vou are mistress of the decision.' The beautiful Penelope, finding herself in this di lemma, blushed, and,Without making the least reply, drew the veil over her face, thereby inti mating a denial of her father's request, and sunk in the arms of her husband. Icarius, ve ry sensibly affected by this behavior, and being desirous of transmitting it, consecrated a statue of Modesty on the verv spot where Penelope had thrown the veil over her face, that, after her, 'it might be a; universal symbol of delicacy with the fair sex." A Patriot Barber. On Saturday last, a farmer who lives near Carlo w went into a bar ber's shop in that town, to get himself shaved. As soon as the tonsor had placed a napkin on the shoulders of his customer, he asked him "whom did he intend to vote for?' The farmer answered, that" Colonel Bruen was his landlord, and that he should vote for him.-4" Well, then," said the barber, "you may go to h and be shaved for me, if your beard was as long as the beard of Abel Ram's buck goat." " If you don't shave me I suppose another will," said the farmer. " No, replied the barber, " there isn't a man in Carlow will shave you, except he in tends to cut your throat." The farmer was so terrified at this information that he set off to Castledermot, six-miles from Carlow, to get himself shaved. Dublin Eve. Post. 3 DRAW TEETH AND BLEED, . ITT SHAVE WELL, INDEED!

J . , vJ... r 4 r- 1 1 tt that Dilliard would not fleliver the negro, 1 employed Mr. William Hindes, of Newbern, with two other to take him, which they attempted to do, unsuccess fullv. on the eveninsr of the first of January. I went, hnwpver. in r,nmonnv with Mr. Hindes in search of Dilliard. during the day of the first, to demand the negro according to agreement, but I believe that he purposely avoided us, as I followed him to one of the rooms in the State House, where 1 saw him enter and where I waited for him an hour, without being able to see him. S' rice that time the negro has not been openly in the possession of Dilliard, but I have very strong reasons for believing that he has been Korlirviipal hw Dillimvl cinc thon The necrrn hav- ing thus escaped, and I seeing no prospect of getting either him or my money back again, I commenced suit against Dilliard, on his bondj at the April tct'rnol Craven Superior Court. The August following, Dilliard came to Newbern, and begged that I would stop the suit against him, as that a Judgment obtained against him then, would be of great injury to him in his business, that he was doing every thing in his power to e-et Sam to come in, and that he did not doubt if he had the Bill of Sale, he could prevail on Sam's friends to make him believe he had bought him back, and that he would then come in to him, when he should be delivered to me. It wjll be proper here, pimply, to remark that, he tried to get the Bill of Sale from me without any witness of its delivery, to show the deliberate intention to defraud, with which he acted I knew that delivering him the Bill of Sale would not vitiate the bond, and believing him really disposed then, to get the negro and deliver him to me, I gave him up the Bill of Sale, made by him to me, in presence of Mr. Jno, Gildersleeve, and withdrew the suit I had commenced against him. After his' return home, he wrote me several letters, stating that he was exerting himself to get Sam to come in, &c; always acknowledging that he was my property. In a letter to me, dated May 30th, 1831, he says: "If I can get the negro you shall have him provided, I am not to be . looser, (alluding to wages that he said was due him by Sam, which he lost )y his running away,) or you may take him ruff' as he runs, he is yet in this neighborhood." A short time subsequent to the date of this letter, he makes some disposition of his property, by which it is secured against his credi tors, as he then assumes a new tone and puts me at defiance. Under date of the 18th July, in a letter j rePiei? W1 " erao81 "listing oiacKguarmsm, ne saysthat "it is in my power to make you oosethe ! M a. I ' '- tl-l T l whole of the money, my concerns is in such a way that it is as I please, whether you get any thing or not." To which I replied simply " That if he wrote any more letters he ;vould oblige me by paying the postage, as I had paid enough for such villians as himself." This certainly was not. very courteous lan guage, but it appears to have so effectually ruffled his j temper, that on the 26th July he comes out in the I tor, and denies that I have a shadow of right to the relied solely on my own representation of this matter. but that they fully bear me out in every thing I have stated. After Dilliard has attempted in the manner I have shewn, not only to defraud me, but to hold me up to the Public as having tried to take advantage of him, I felt it due to myself, and to public justice, that his baseness should be exposed, and that he should re ceive that contempt and disgrace which his own vil lany has drawn upon his head. Were it requisite, I could say more ; but believing that what I have sta ted is quite enough for him, for the present, I here take leave of the subject. WILLIAM L. FOWLER. Newbern, Aug. 24, 1831.
