luel demonftrated that he was worthy of 
living under a new form of government. 
In confequence, he facceffively filled fe- 
veral public funétions, and wasMember of 
the Legiflative Affembly, and Adminiftra- 
tor of the Department of Paris. 
Notwithftanding this, he was ftruck 
with confternation at the events of the 
fecond year: but, being cheered by the 
order that afterwards prevailed, he refum- 
ed the courfe of his conftitutional la- 
bours. | 
He was appointed a juftice of the 
peace*, and continued in this fituation; 
by the Dire&tory after the 18th Frudidor. 
During the period that he exercifed this 
fimple and paternal branch cf magiftracy, 
he proved himfelf worthy of living under 
a republican regimen. He made a col- 
le&tion of the Laws relative to Agricul- 
tural Police, to which he added fome Re- 
fle&tions on the Funétions of a Juftice of 
the Peace; this work, when printed, re- 
ceived the approbation of government. 
How many affecting particulars are 
connected with the exercife of his func- 
tions! By his language and his prefence 
he appeafed diiputes, infpired refpect, and 
was liftened to with the moft profound 
attention ; in fhort, the people were fo 
generally perfuaded of the goodnefs and 
impartiality of the juftice of Dugny, that 
his decifions were never either cenfured or 
appealed from. Let all fincere friends, let 
all the grateful families who have been 
obliged to him, join us in ftrewing the 
grave of our colleague witha few flowers. 
How often have we witneffed his fuccefs 
in reconciling antagonifts irritated againft 
each other, and how often his he with- 
drawn himfelt from us to fly to the fuccour

He lived happily in the bofom of his 
family, and at the fame time enjoyed 
the efteem and the affection of his fellow- - 
citizens. Strangers, and young farmers 
of all defcriptions, repaired to Dugny on 
purpofe to demand his countels, and fol- 
low his advice; he was frequently con- 
fulted by the government, and the admi- 
niftration of the department of the Seine ; 
he had been the colleague, and at length 
became the friend of the Minifter of the 
Home Department, who invited him to 
form one of the Council for the Progrefs 
of Agriculture; befides this, he was a 
Member of the Jury for’ diftributing the 
Prizes to the young Men educated at the 
Veterinary School of Alfort. 
He was alfo one of the firft members 
of the Society of Agriculture, in the name 
of which I publifh this notice. In fhort, 
he enjoyed every fpecies of refpeé&t and 
happinefs; when the {mall-pox, in’ the 
courfe of laft year, carried off his daugh- 
ter, who was a widow, at the age of 
twenty-feven ; he was inconfolable for her 
lofs. On the other hand, the beft eulo-

A profound {orrew initantly feized him, 
and the intervention of his friends only 
ferved to increafe his grief. During his 
lafti moments, be was often heard to ex- 
claim, “ My daughter cails me!’? He 
furvived her only three months, and lies 
buried by her fide*.

SCOTCH SONG, 
BY MR. BANNANTINE,. 
gM courted by a bonny lad, 
A ftatelier fteps na on the plain; - 
And, fpite o’ minny and o° dad, 
Nae langer fingle I'll remain. 
What though I’m only in my teens, 
Ird dearly like to be a wife ; 
And, if nae mifchief intervenes, 
Ill be my Sandy’s lafs for life. 
When Sandy meets me on the know, 
At e’en and a’ the lave at hame, 
I feel my breaft wi’ gladnefs glow, 
He fets my youthful heart in flame. 
He faftly tells his tale of love, 
Then {macks-my lips wi’ hearty glee ; 
But how can I the lad reprove, 
That a” his kifles keeps for me ? 
Whene’er he gangs to kirk or fair, 
The laffes {trive to win his heart, 
But nane wi’ me his love can fhare 
In fpite of a’ their wiles and art, 
Then, though baith dad and mammy flyte, 
Nae langer will I lie my lane, 
But blithely wed my heart’s delight, 
And fyne on earth Pll envy nane,
