meht easy erect and noble; the best horseman of his
age; and the mcs graceful figure that could be seen on
horseback. Although, in the circle of his friends,
where he might je 9nreserved with safety, he took
free share in conversation his cooqual tsens were
not above mediocrty possessing neither coPousness OF
IDEAS nor fuency words
In public when called upon for sudden opinion,
he was unready short and embarrassed. Yethe wrote
readily, rather difusey in correct style. This he had
acquired by conversation with the WORLD for his educa~
ton was merely reading, writing. and common arllh"
metc, to which he added surveying at later day. His
time was employed in action chiefly reading little, and
that oEy in agriculture and English history, His cor
respondence became necessarily extensive, and with
journazing his agricultural proceedings, occupied
most Of his leisure hours within DOORS On the whole,
his character was in its mass perfect in nothing bad,
in few points different and may truly be said, that
never did nature and fortune combine perfectly 20
make great man land to place him in the same consel-
lation with whatever worthless have mefited from
an everlasting remembrance. For his the singular
destiny of leading the armies ofhs country successfully
through the birth of government now in its forms and
principles, until it had settled down in quiet and or
derly iran and ofserupulously obeying the laws tro
the whole course ofits career civil and military, Of
which the worlds history furnishes no other example.

AGATHA IANZT.

When was al Florence, do not care 10
mention how many years ago, was one day
lounging in the gallery, thinking how vastly
different the Medican Venus was from my
bean iieal of female beauty; when. in one Of
the less fiequenied rooms, end in situation
not emiDen,ly conspicuous, my eye chancsd
to light upon picture, which at once rveted
ils gaze, and on which it'll may say-feasted
for several weeks Afterwards. II was a half
length, and consisted ofa single fgure--ihe
portrait Of young lady of l9. She was
dressed in low gown OF puce>coored velvet
without lace or tucker ofany kind intervening
between il and the skin of clear, pearl.lke
whiteness, against which it appeared in strong
aad remarkable relief. In the centre, howey-
or, the bodice, according to the mode Of the
period, seemed in some degree TO rise, so as
just to give to view small portion Of very del
icate lace, yet not in sufficient quantity to fell
over uponthe velvet Immediately below this
diamond ornament was placed, which was
matched by two others that formed the loops 10
the short sleeves, from beneath which ap-
peared arms Of a symmetry and Wilderness it
