& day or two after her dismissal, she called
upon hirs. Dixon, re-asserting her innocence,
and imploring her mistress to give her such
character as would procure her a situation.-
But the mistress was firm IN her resolve TO
tell the circumstances to any lady who might
call. just as it had occurred. 1t would be te-
dious to narrate the trials of the friendless
girl. How one stranger would have received
her into his house, but for this unfortunate
episode revealed by Mrs. Dixon; and how

next application she confessed the suspicion
which attached to her; but there is a verv
strong esprife de corps among mistresses, and
they very seldom think each other wrong.
The lady could not fancy Mrs. Dixon had been
mistaken. 1t was after these sorrows that the
thought occurred to her Of applying to the mis-
tress with whom she had lived previous to her
service with Mrs. Dixon, and who had dis

Mr.. Dixon was fine-looking man, Of about
fifty, with rather a pleasing expression of

And ceaves from the clod the marble god

The poor mans hand hath wrought
Then health 70 the rude and thrifty poor,
And honor 10 them eyermore-
They. mid the turmoil, earn the wages Of toll,
As your fathers did before.
And think the reward Of labor is health,

Vessels in high wind are addicted to low
gambling, and do nothing but turn up coppers
and pitch and toss while the gale lasts.
Ships go to DIVER parts Of the EARTH espe-
cially when they visit the pearl regions.
Ships are not usually provided with gar
dens, although they have many small yards.
Steamers are likely to predominant over

FACTS RELATIVE TO GEN. FAY
LOR'S FAMILY.

A correspondent Of the National Intelligent
Ger, signing himself Calvert" corroots some
erroneous statements in regard to Gen. Tay-
lor's family, and says;
General and Mrs. Taylor have no children
young enough 10 be ''going to school" in Bal
timore or elsewhere. They have there a
daughter married to DR.. Woods, of the Army,
and now on that station, Col. Taylor, the Gen
erals brother, whose lady is daughter Of the
Hon. John Mclean, is also in Baltimore, and
attached to that station. The public attention
and curiosity seems to have been won away
by the General entirely from his better half;
for his biographers have not told US who she
is. Now, for the honor Of old Calvert coun-
~ in Maryland, be it known, that she pro-
duced the only person to whom General lay
Tor ever has surrendered. Mrs. Taylor comes
not only from Calvert county. but from, it is
believed. the very estate on which Mr. Ad-
ams's father, if not she herself was born-on
the shores of that river, the PatuXent, which
navigators have said was the boldest and the
most beautiful they had ever entered. Mrs.
Taylor's father was Captain Walter Smith,
an independent and highly respectable farmer,
whose estate was situated on the right bank
of St. Leonard's creek, in which Commo-
dore Barney's fotilla was blockaded III the
late war. She is the sister Of the late Major
Richard Smith, Of the Marine Corps, well re-
membered in Washington and New ! ork es-
peeialiy, for his gallant and soldierly appear
ance and bearing. and his fine social qualities
1t was in Kentucky that the General, then Z
very young man, saw her, and was conquered
