you would never find fault again. Talk of shy

gusting bipels approach, it is miraculous that
ladies do not fall into convulsions. do not

not been kissed more than two or three times;
but, as | am quite young, expect to receive
many more. One Of these administered in
rst-rate style-a kiss to perfection.
"a clean mouth and handsome teeth are in
dspensable requisites, and they seldom to

valuabIcs. Now let your curiosity ransack
your memory to discover who the favored one
is. Most of you would contaminate the check

| WASHINGTON IN AN ENGLISH REGIMENT.--Thc
Liverpool Times of late date gives long ac-
count of the 2Sth regiment in the English ser
vice. 1t is of those recently embarked for
the present seat OF war, and although from
time to time, its ranks have been tuany times
thnned and replenshed again. its ancient his
tories preserved and held u remembrance
| by the recruits. During the revolution,
1a M S a M SHs # as Er he he
! twenty eighth was stationed in America, and
Washington, then young man, held rank in
it. 1t was at the seige of Quebec, when Wolfe
fell, and performed sterling service at w Wuter-
loo, and afterwards was engaged in India In
its ranks were many MasQns and from the ac-
count which we take from the Times, it would
seem that Lodge must have been held lin due
form, by it's veterans.-The incidents related
in the following sketch of the most pleas
ing character, and afford another to the very
many evidences that the brethren are never
forgotten hC each other:
"Before" the breaking out of the war which
ended in the formation of the United States
+ tRepublic, the 2Sth was stationed in America,
and George Washington, then young man,
held some command in it. There was establish
ed freemason's lodge in the regiment, of
which the President in embryo was Il member
Washington's connection with the regiment,
from the course of events, became dissolved
and during subsequent engagement he found
himself opposed to the very troops with whom
he had formerly served. The English were de-
/ feated, and the chest which contained the
sonic emhems fell into the hands Of the Ameri-
cans When it was examined, Washington
| found that it contained, among other things,
the Bible which had been in the service of the
lodge The chest with its contents, was hon
orahly and promptly returned to the 2sth, with
all due military honors; act of delcacy and
courtesy which the men Of the 2Sth, and the
masOns particularly, warmly appreciated. a
gain the English were worstcd and the chest
captured and again was it returned in SINH
lar way. The Bible in question is still in pos
session of the regiment, and is hid in great re-
verence by the brethren OF the craft Our friend
Ga mason to whom are indebted for the above,
saw the Bible lately in Manchester, where it
was produced at meeting of the Lodge of
Virtuc which some officers Of the 2Sth attend
