A Scene at the National

The Washington Star, Of Wednesday

meeting between Prince John Van Bu-
rem, and the editor of the Washington
Sentinel. 1t will make some people
laugh
Madame Rumor tells funny stories
sometimes. She gives the following ac-
count OF an interview between Prince
John Van Buren,, on his recent visit to
this city, and Colonel Beverly Tucker
the Sentinel of the Hards. The scene
was at the National Hotel, where the
Prince stopped, and where the gallant
Colonel met him, and thus accosted him :
T.-Why. John, how are you !? What

From the upper portion OF Leyden street extends
Market street running south, and at some distance
up this latter street was erected on rising ground
commanding view Of the harbor and surrounding
country, an immense tent, capable of accommodating
some three thousand persons, where the banquet OF
the day was spread for the guests and parcipators
In the celebration. Near the junction of Summer
street was handsome arch Of the same form and
construction as those have mentioned before. 1t
presented the following inscription

The Plymouth High School stands exactly oppo-
site and to the west Of the spot where the tent was
pitched. This building was also appropriately de-
corated with testoonery, wreaths stars, flags, &c.
Within green ring in the centre Of the ediice were
the letters worked with leaves aud spray, up. H. s."
the initials Of Plymouth High School.
The town pump on this street bore also the follow

Frsely drink ard quench your tbi-st;
Here drank the Pilgrim fathers first.
over the fsrfsmea Plymouth Rock itself was
placed an arch and around it foated the British and
American flags. Early on Monday morning work
men insulated the rock by clearing the earth from
about it. The sides Of the arch were inscribed al

North street, through which the procession
marched, was decorated IN the same style as the
foregoing. on an arch about the centre OF tho
street was the motto, John Robinson the keystone
Of the Arch Lower down, at the old burial place,
was banner with the inscription, "Coles Hin, the
first burial place Of the Pilgrims. On that spot have

ignated was about mile from the Cathedral
The man stared at him, as if puzzled to decide
whether he talking to an insane person or not.
When the imperturable Quaker had seen all he
cared to see, he deliberately walked away.
At Westminster he paid the customary fee of
two shillings and sixpence for admission. The
doorlleeper followed him, saying, ''YOu must un-
cover yourself, sir
Uncover mysef!'' exclaimed the Friend, with
an affectation of ignorant simplicity. :" What
dost thou mean Must l take oifmy coat s'
q Your coat 90 responded the man, smiling
'.No, indeed; mean your hat.
''And what should take offmy hat for !'' he
inquired
q Because you are in a church, SIR, - answered
the d oorkeeper
. see no church here, reoined the Quaker
Perhaps thou meanest the house where the
church assemblies. l suppose thou art aware that
1t is the people, not the b1siidng that constitutes
a church -
The idea seemed new to the man, but he mere
ly repeated, You must take off your hat,
sir"
But Tie Friend again inquired, What for
On account of these images {? Thou knowest
Scripture commands us not to worship craven
images"
The man persisted in saying that no person
could be permitted to pass through the church
without uncoyering his head. g Wen, friend,
rcjoined Isaac, % have some conscientious scru-
pies on that subject so give me back my money,
and will go out"
The reverential habits ofthe doorkceper were
not quite strong enough to compel him to that sa-
crifce and he walked away without saying any
thing more on the eubjcct,

When Friend Hoppervisited the House Of Lords,
heasked the sergeant-at arms if he might sit upon
the throne. He replied, No, sir, No one but
his Majesty sits there"
Wherein does his Majesty differ from other
men 2" inquired he. If his head were cut off,
wouldn't he die !''
q Certainly he would, >" replied the officer.
- SO would an American, rejoined Friend Hop
per. As he spoke, he stepped up to the gilded
railing that surrounded the throne, and tried to
open the gate. The officer told him it was lock-
ed - Wei, won't the same key that locked it
unlock it ?'' inquired he. Is this the key hang
ing here 20
Being informed that it was, he took it down and
unlocked the gate. lie removed the SATIN covering
from the throne, carefully busted the railing with
his handkerchief before he hung the satin over it;
and then seated himself in the royal chair
g Wen" said he, - do L look anything like his
Majesty"
The man seemed embarrassed, but smiled as he
answered q Why sir, you certainly fill the throne
very respectfully"
There were several nobleInen in the room, who
seemed to bcextremcly amused by these unusual
proceedmgs.

AT the date Of maturity, the distressed curate
was called upon to meet two bills amounting to-
gether to the sum ofthree hundred pounds
CHANGING to hear of the Bankrupt Register Office,
the victim sought, the advice of Mr.. Perry who,
without any difficulty traced out the swindler
and his confederates' complete Identification ;gave
him their history, and sent him TO a respectable
solicitor; who, by dint of threats of exposure,
succeeded in obtaining peaceable possession of the
bills. This Mr. Perry assured me was only one
out of inumerabe cases Of a similar character.
Before taking my leave ufthis Registrar-Gener-
al Of ,nisdeeds and misfortune, learned that as
subscribers to his establishment we were entitled
to receive every week copy of paper printed for
circulation amongst his clients, and called the
Bankrupt and Insovent Gazette: periodical
which has now attained its twenty-ninth year
In it are chroncled not only every event Of the
previous week connected with bankruptcy and
insolvency, but every meeting or official occur
renee happening during the week ensuing in eve
nv part of the United Kingdom.
Ijoned my brother full of the news had gath
ered and we both congratulated ourselves on the
narrow escape we had had. Our customer did
not inquire for his goods and we learnt shortly
afterwards taht he had left his premises rather
suddenly, forgetting to settle many heavy ac-
counts, and altogether emitting to mention to
single neighbor where he might be found.
On other occasions we have consulted our friend
of Kings Arms Buildings, and always with sat
isfactory results. Sometimes suspicious we en-
tertained ofnew customers were happily dissipa
ted by Mr.. Perry. Gentlemen have sent US or
ders soon after we knew they had undergone
bankruptcy, but our Registrar General was able
to give US, notwithstanding, good account of
them. They had paid handsome dividends
promptly and honorably, receiving from the court
first-class certificates.
We never think ofentering upon any new bus
mess without walk up to the great oldfashOned
concert room, and gossip with the genius of the
place. We could not conduct our business in safe
ty, enlaging as it constantly is, without his aid.
That respected and useful person has become to
US what he is to half trading London, and good
part of the provinces-a daily necessary Of com
mercal life.

Down behind the hidden village, frnged around with

(LfRe a holy hermit dreaming, half asleep and hall
awake

Doing, murmusng in its visions, lay the heaven
INQUIRED lake.
And within dell, where shadows through the bright
est days abide,
like the svery swimming gossamer by breezes scat
tered wide,
Fell shining sken of water that ran down the lake
let's side
As withn the brain by beauty lulled, a pleasant
thought may glide.
When the sinking sun Of August, growing large in
Shot his arrows long and golden through the maple
and the pine
And the thrush fled singing from the alder to
the vine.
While the cat-bird in the hazel gave its melancholy
whine
And the little squirrel chattered, peering round the
hickory pole,
And, a sudden like 4 meteor CLEANED along the
There walked beside fair Inez and her gentle beauty
stole
Like the scene athwart my senses like the sunshine
through my soul.
Aud her fairy feet that pressed the leaves, pleasant
music made,
And they dimpled the beds of moss with bios
SONS thick nlaid -
There told her old romances, and with loves sweet
played
Till fair Iuez eyes like evening held the dew beneath
their shade
There for her love ballads such as lover only
wcaves,
Till she sighed and greyed, only mild ard loving
maiden grieyes
And to hide her she stopped to CLEAN the vioets
from the leaves,
As of old sweet Ruth went cleaning mid the oriental
sheayes.
Down we walked beside the Islelet gazing deep in
10 her eye,
There told her all my passion! With a sudden
blush nd sigh,
Turning half away with look askant she only made
How deep within the water gIows the happy eve

Then asked her if she loved me- and our haa,s met
each in each,
And the dainty signing ripples seemed to listen up
the reach
While thus slowly with hazel wand she wrote along
the beach,
Love- ike the Sky, lies deepest ere the heart is stir

Thus gained the love OF Inez-thus I won her gentle
hand;
And our paths lie together, as footprints

We have vowed to love each other il the golden NOR

When from earth have vanished, like the

THE BROTHERS:
OR, A REFERENCE TO CHARACTER.

Oh, A REFERENCE TO CHARACTER.
Five years ago, my brother William and my
self started as wholesale merchants in Honey
suckle lane, City, with limited warehouses, and
still more limited capital Had commercial
prospects been more cheering than the prospect
from our little cobwebbed counting house, we
should indeed have had small encouragement. l
remember discussing with my brother, during
the first week ofour career, the style of our do
mestic establishment, and the extent of our per-
sonal expenditure We mutually agreed, in or
der to throw as much capital into our business as
possible, to dispense with the services Of cat
upon the premises and, both of being about
the same height and build, that one best suit Of
clothes and one visiting best hat should suffice
for both. 1t is true our hat used frequently to
slip rather suddenly over Williams eyes whilst
nodding to friend in the street, and that the fit
ofthe coat on him was slightly baggy but he
bore it cheerfully.
The first year Of our little business went on
placidly enough. We felt our way gradually !;
and found that in business, as in other things,
discretion is the better part of valor. We be-
came known at the end ofthesecondyear amongst
the trade; and, before the end of our third year,
we actually possessed two real cats, and I'm
afraid to say how many hats and coats besides
being acknowledged throughout the length of
Honeysuckle lane, as rising and safe young
men.
L think it was about this time that we started
small horse and a light cart-just the patient,
meek animal that would not object to go in gig
on Sunday, if requested to do so. But with the
increase of our business came growth of vigor-
ous cares and anxieties, that seemed to spring up
like rank weeds Our first griefs came in with
