A LEAF IN THE LIFE OF WASHINGTON
In the year 1880, while General Washington
was quartercd at West Point, he formed
friendly intimacy with person who resided
few miles from the Amerit an fort, and where
the former passed many an agreeable hour,
aloof from the fatigues and troubles incident
to his position as Commander of the army
The strict and marked punctuality with which
the General kept his appointments, has come to
be proverb, and the fact Of his frequent visits
to the mansion above alluded to, had been OBJ
served by the enemy, who determined at length,
if possible to profit by it.
Access to the host who thus entertained that
ustrious American General, was not dIttlcuIt
and the British authorities took an early opportu-
nty to ascertain the real feelings Ofthe man who
pretended to be so friendly to Washington. The
result proved that the man was accessible, and
a large bribe was at once proposed to his appa-
rently hospitable entertainer, to cause the Cen
erals capture, at his house, during one othls Wis
its the enemy seeing that to make a prisoner
of George Washington, would be master stroke
of policy. which would rebound to their honor,
and greatly cripple the energies of the Colonlsts
in the then existing war.
To entrap the American General was diff
cult task however. He was very rarely surprls-
ed, and sagacity was a distinguished tait in
Washlhoton's character. Constantly surround
ed with danger, at home and abroad, his keen
eye was ever open to deceit, and his mind was
alive to the perils which continually surrounded
him. In his visits, at any distance from the
Fort, he was always preceded by his advance
guard, and the enemy were well aware how diff
cult would be the attempt to ensnare hin.
The British officers at length agreed with his
entertainer however liberal price was named,
and the scheme 10 secure the American Com
mander was finally decided upon. In the mean
time, rumor had become current in the Amer
lean lines that the person Washington was in
the habit of visiting so conidentially, had latter
ly been seen going and returning from the Brit
ish quarters The American General thus FORE
warned, was forearmed

Humility and Perseverance.

From the side of mountain there flowed
forth a little rvulet-its voice was scarcely
heard amid the rustling Of the leaves and grass
around, and its shallow and narrow stream might
be overlooked by the traveller. This brook, al
though so small, was inspired with proud spir.
it, and murmured against the decree of Provi.
dence, which had c.st its lot so lowly.
g wish were cloud, to roll all day thro'
the heavens, painted as those lovely shapes are,
and never descending again in showers or, at
least, wish were broad river, performing
some useful duty in the world Shnmc on my
weak waves and unregarded buildings might
as well have never been, as to be thus puny in.
significant and useless"
When the brook had thus complained a beau
t,ful tall flower, that bent over lis bosom, repli.
ed:
"Thou art iu error, brook. Puny aud iusig-
nificant thou mayst be- useless thou art not
for owe halfmy beauty, perhaps my life, to
Thy refreshing water.
THE plants adj 'cent 10 thee are greener aad
richer than the others. The Cren has given
thee duty, which, though humble, thou must
not neglect Besides, who knows what may be
thy future destiny? Flow on, | beseech thee" "
The brook heard the rcbuke, and danced a.
long its way mere chcerlulIy. On and on it
went, growing broaderand broader By and by
other rivulets poured their cllrystaI waters into
It, and swellcd its deepening bosom, in which
already began to appear the fairy creatures of
the wave, dartng about iovfully, and glistenng
in the sum- As its channel gre ' wider and wi.
der, and yet other branches came gliding into
it, the stream began to assume the importance
of river, and boats were launched on it, and it
rolled on in a meandering course through
teeming country, ireshening whatever it touch
ed and giving the whole scene new character
Of beauty.
As it moved on now in majesty and pride, the
sound of Its gently .heaving pillows formed it
self into the following words:

may seem, fate may have in store for us great
and unexpected opportunities of doing good and
oil being great. Iu the hope of these we should
ever pass on without despair and doubt, trusting
that perseverance will bring in its own reward.
How little dreamed, when first sprang on my
course, what purposes was destined to fulfil.
What happy beings were 10 owe their bliss to me.
What lofty trees, what velvet meadows, what
golden harvcsts were to hail my career. Let
not the meek and lowly despair, heaven will
supply them with noble inducements to virtue"

A Talk with a Deceased Friend.
(TnRouGH CLAlBvoYANT.)

(TnRoUGH A CLABvOYANT.
The following minutes of conversation held
with the spirit of departed friend, who left this
mortal state in June, 1919, is not published as
any evidence of the truM of the remarkable phe-
nomena of alleged intercourse with disembodied
spirits, known in our days as CIairvoyance,
Myste ious Rappings, &c. The young man
who was the medium of communication in this
case, has been consciously clairvoyant but few
weeks, ard the Rappings,' so called, are also
heard in his presence, though he is no connect
ton Of the Fox family, and has but the slightest
acquaintance with any of them. We think none
who know him would consider fraud on his part
possible, though what deusion, halIucination or
dabolIcal influence he may be subjected to, his
deponent saith not.
We happen to know of still another family
in this city, having no connection with the Foxes
in which the Mysterious Rappings' are now
heard, and no one can say how many more there
may be, as in every instance the profoundest Sc

The object of publishing the following i
simply to relute the common assumption that
nothing is ever communicated from the spir
world by these new agencies that is ofthe slighl

uniformly frivolous, useless and unnteresting.-
We should say that, so far as we have observe
they are about as worthy of regard as the queS
tions to which they are replies will permit the
to be. However, here is a specimen, cope
verbatim from notes hastily taken down as tn
words were uttered by the alleged clairvoyan.t
The deceased Mr.. C.. who purports to be tn
communicator through this medium, was ma
of ofdecded intelligence, energy, and phiIanthroP
and these responses are very like his manner

and answers.
Question-Mr. c., had the Human Race
conscious existence before they came on thl
earth?
.ans,Oer-Soul matter had an existance, bu
not a conscious existence.
Q-Are there any spirits which exert an evi

conditions?
A-Yes--but not because they desire to do SC
but because of their inferior or gross organizal

Q-Are there any human spirits which have

LETTER FROM OREGON,

FROM LOT WHITCoMB TO l.. BROWN ESQ, OF
WARREN, Vr,
[rhc following letter, from gentleman OF in
telligence and observation, will be read with in
terest.
MILWAUKEE, COUNTY OF CLAcKAMAs,
Territory Of Oregon, goth .fpra 1851 )
DEAR SIR:
| In answer to your letter of enquiry relative to
the Climate, Soil Production, &c. &c. of this
Territory, allow me to submit the following for
YOUR perusaI, and the benefit of all who may
feel an interest in becoming acquainted with the
Pacific Coast.
emigrated to this country, leaving the Unit
ed States on the first of May, in the year l847,
with a company of 100 wagons, mostly OK teams,
the company all in good spirits We travelled
on several days over beautiful country, mostly
prairie the road fine. We then struck the Platte
River, q beautiful stream, winding its way
through pleasant valley extending far to the
right and left, both sides covered with finest
grasses, (no one can see but to admire.) Here
new era opens to our view; everything ap-
pears strange to our sight. Even our beasts
gave evidence to this fact by their sporting and
enjoying themselves, feeding on the rich grass,
covered in many places with salt, which gave
vigor and strength to their wearied limbs. Here
we cane into the buffalo regions in many pIa-
ces you can see herds of not only hundreds, but
thousands in band, feeding, or crossing the
river at their accustomed fords ;-on the route
up the river you are at all times in sight of II
ger wolves, Prairie, wolves, Deer, Antelopes,
and English Hares, or Prairie-dogs; all of which
are very plenty here. The latter live in vii
lagos, situated on high ground, generally de-
scendlng on all its sides sides, to prevent water
from disturbing them. They seem to take pleas
ure in amusing the way-worn traveller, while
rassing their subteranian cities, by continual
