.Tne Dearly Loved, the Early Lost
BY JOHN C. M'cABE, NJ. D.

BY JOHN C. MCABE, NJ. D.
'Tis sad TO lay the beautiful, the young within the
tomb
To shroud the early " loved and lost amid the
graves dark gloom
To know we'l gaze no more upon those features
wont TO cheer
Our spirits with their gladsome smiles cen in this
world of care.
lis meet that we should weep our loss-ay, full
and heartfelt tears,
When Memory brings to fancy's eye the days OF
other years;
When she who was the worshipped one. seems
some lovely star,
To beam along our pathway from her own bright
heaven atar.
We miss our pure and gentle one e-her football on
the floor,
And that bright smile of happiness we'll gaze upon
no more
And those sweet songs she used to sing, no more
shall they be heard,
And hushed, for aye, the melody of each remem-
bered word.
Oh. there are tones at midnight, oft upon the
trembling breeze,
Soft spirit music mingng with the winds among
the trees;
And fancy oft will trace amid this music strangely
given,
The sad sweet voices of the dead come back tc
tell of Heaven
Sweet one! we may not hear thy voice upon the
evening wind,
Nor canst thou meet again on earth, with those
thou'st left behind;
Bat though the film is on thy eye, the clod upol
thy breast;
Thoa'rt where the wicked cannot harm, and tn
weary are at rest"
Yes thou art gone, sweet one, to rest, cen wit
thy God on high
Anl the cold and dimming dews of death hat
queHched that brilliant eye,
Yet diadem is on thy brow, palm within tn
hand,
Aal thou art safe and happy now in that far bette
land.

A Chapter Or yyI.iskers.

In this age of improvement, it appears TO be
the study of almost every Individual to dlscov-
er something new, and not always with strict
reference to its utility. Novelty is sufficient
recommendation 10 reconcile many 10 the most
absurd practices, and in their estimation eni-
lies the inventor Of some folly 10 rank almost
among the bencfactors of mankind. This re-
mark applies particularly TO those who ever
ready TO adop, Ihe last new fashion with all its
absurdilies, and though he female ser is gener-
ally charged with being inthe front rank in this
respect, / as one of that sex, am not willing
that they should be unjuslly accused or made to
bear an unequal part OF the burden.
Without entering into minute examination
of the various folIies pracliced By the stronger
minded portion of creation, | intend adverIng
to but one, which at the present time prevails
10 great extent, viz; the fashion of wearing
/ Whaskers. do not wish 10 be understood as
condemning entirely those hirsue aFpendages,
which gentlemen so much value; ;---when pro-
perly cultivated they arc rather ornamental than
otherwise; but cannot think that the 'human
face divine was ever intended to be so con-
cealed from public view with superffuIly ol
hair, as 10 render il almost impossible for a
man to recognise the dearest friend. And real
| " 'rwoud be no matter Of surprise if some were
to find difficulty IN knowing their own re-
feced images.
Some may urge the plea of their utility IL
shielding the wearer from The keenness of lhe
northern blast; and this may be great advani
age, as probably those gentlemen whose lace:
are more than half covered are never troubled
with The t0othache; and if this be the case lie
all fanlt tfnding cease. But suspect, If tht
truth was known, il is 10 be attributed more II
IaainesS, as few OF the species like to give them
selves any trouble which can be avoided.
}, ''ris well for this ''Soap lock" and scdiskere'
f generation that they did not live in the days o
!, our foreralhers, when associations were formed
10 prevent the wearing of long hair, and 1t wa
regarded as heinous crime for any one to IN
dulge in the practice. What satisfaction
must have been to have lived in those days
when people were not ashamed of their faces
Probably then there were more honest one
, than are to be seen now, and therefore the ne
f cessiry for having them covered did not exist
In closing his article, would just beg 'hos
gentlemen who are lifting their voices agains
The CoIlles of the female sex, extending ihel
censures even to The wearing OF a muff, to re
member that they are as much under the de
spotic sway of the iyran, fashion, as the verles
slave who executes his masters bidding.

The floor, urged the measure, and after some de-

The next thing was TO get commander for

Adams on the occasion, and he was ready. He

lion of the character of General Ward, besow-
ing on him the encomiums which then belong
ed TO no one else AT the end of the eulogy
he said, A." But this is not the man | have cho
SEN" He then went into the deinealion Of the
character of Commander-in-C Chief, such as
was required by the peculiar situation of the
Colonies at this juncture. And after he had
presented The qualifications in his strongest
language, and gave the reasons for the nomi~
nation he was about 10 make, he said
Gentlemen, | know these qualifications are
high, but we all know they are neediul, at this
crisis in this chief. Does any one say they are
not to be obtained III this country? In reply |
have TO say they are ; they reside in one of our
own body, and he is the person whom | now

GEORGE WASHlNGTON,O OF VIRGINIA.
Washington, who sat on Mr.. Adams right
hand, was looking him in,ently in The face, to
watch the name be was about 10 announce, and
not expecting it would be his, sprang from his
seat the minute he heard il, and rushed into an
adjoining room. MIR. Adams had asked his
cousin Samuel 10 ask for an adjournment as
soon as the nomination was made, in order 10
give The members time 10 deliberate, Erand the
result is before the world
asked Mr.. Adams, among other questions,
the following:
