teemed it. Col. c. was boy at school, in
Philadelphia, when Gen. Washington passed
through to enter upon his duties as President
of these United States, and saw him then.
Here, ,hen,y ARE couple still living, who have
both seen the father of our country. Soon
those who can say this will have passed away.
Col. c. is full of interesting revolutionary in
-cidents. He told Mr.. NJ, on learning that his
grandfather was Capt. NJ, of Sumter's caval.
ry, that he had often heard of him, and of his
being large, stalwart, active man, that could
jump over his own horse. How interesting
become these items of those times from those
who are living eye and ear witnesses to their
truth. Col. c. is over eighty, hale hearty, ac-
tive, in the full possession Of all his faculties.
He bears himself erect, walks at brisk gait,
and needs not the assistance Of spectacles
He has been from the beginning, one of the
most intelligent and liberal patrons of the,
Wateree Mission to the blacks, taking per-
sonal interest in the matter, attending the
Mission Church, and worshippng in the midst
of his people. May his children's children
continue to see to it, that this holy charity be
continued to their servants forever. So shall
they ever rise up, as they do now, and call
them blessed. ,,zy -'--.

A SUCCESSFUL Domestic SEAEcH.--Mr. II. al
ronted his wife,who, topunish him, resolved to be
dumb whenever he was present; and SO well did
she maintain her resolution, that nearly week
passed away, during which not word did She
utter utter in his presence. She performed her house
hold duties as usual; but speak she would not.
He tried to coax her out of her whlm, but IN
vain. At last he tried the following plan to
overcome her resolution by working on her csrl-
osty-the most ungovernable of female propen-
sites. Returning one evening from his employ
ment, his lady sat there as usual, mute. lie I'M
mediately commenced vigorous search through
out the room. The closet was examined, the
bed room, the drawers, boxes, shelres-every
thing that could possibly be thought OF was over
hauled. =.
His wife was struck with astonshment at his
unaccountable behavior; and so he proceeds in
his search. She became very ncrvousy anxious
TO find out what he was looking for. What
could it be She looked in his face, TO CLEAN, if
possible, from his expression, the object OF his
search; but no go, he was as soter as a Judge
He lifted the edge of the carpet, looked under
the table cover, and finally, approaching her
chair looked under it, and even going SO far as
to brush her dress partially aside, as if what he
sought might be hid there She could stand 1t
no longer. She burst out "Bob, what are you
looking for!" He smiled, and answered, ~ our
tongue, and I've found it."

habit.
Adjoining Irish lass entered the service of a
LADY who was i'll with consumption. friend

she was-Elen regularly brought down the
answer
"My missus's compliments, and she had
very Indifferent night" or, "my mlssus's COM
pliments, and she feels very weak to'day'
This went on for six weeks, and Ellen
seemed more and more sensible Of the kind
ness and attention every time the messenger
came. The compliments were sent back as
usual, but the intelligence became sadder and
sadler. Atlcngth, one day when the friendly
inquiry after the health of her mi m'stFess Geer camH 1H
