A Night In SebassopoI.

The following sketch of a Night in Sc
bastopol," which we find in British journal,
furnishes NO graphic u picture Of one phase
Of camp life 1ir exciting adventure-that
we copy il;
"Rcnnie, will you come and have stroll
with me to-nghti' asked young officer of
the --th Regiment Of his servant, who was
busy ing himself about sOm-thlng-I believe
cleaning pair OF revcivers-at the tent

Though it were into Scbastopol itselfn
Not jus, that length, | bope,' said the
officer See that the rcyoiyers are in trim
and will b. back in quarter Of an hour.
You may also provide two Russ sa grea,
coats"
Charles Severn-that WAS the officers
name-went to the top Of the hill at the back
OF the camp, and took survey with his
glass. lie returned in quarter Of an hour
for his supper-rather miserable one,
though it WAS ms good rs the generality Of
officers suppers, both of his own degree and
above it--ior his servant, Rennie, looked after
many odds and ends necessary 10 comfort
at their landing. Looking out at the tent
door, Severn found il was nearly dark, and
asked his servant il every thing WAS ready
Yes, sir" he answered, you have
your pistols yourself, and here 10 the great
coat"
Taking the great coats under their arms,
they sailed forth on their dangerous expedi-
ton. They soon passed the outermos,
trenches and pickets without being chal-
lenged, for Severn and his servant were well
| known, and entered the Russian line Of pi a.
cts, where they put on the great cozts " hicl
had been provided. They had no. proceede,
hundred yards further when E.ennie dlsap
appeared.
Where the deuce are you, Renuie 2
whispered the officer.
"lve tunbled into Russian grave" said
q voice at hs feet help me out"
Severn bent down and gave him hand
out Of pit built for Russian riheman, who
had been killed in it.
Hist. what's that :" CALCULATED Severn,

- It's a sor,ie of Russian infantry" said
| Rennie.
To throw off The cumbrous Russian great
coat, to run, as If a bullet were after them, To
the camp Of the Zouaves, which was nearest,
explain the matter TO the sentry, and start for
their own quarters, WAS the work Of few
minutes At their back in the French line.

The marriage of Washington with Mrs
Gusts took place Jan. G, 1859, an the White
House, the residence of the bride, in the
good old hospitable style of Virginia. amid a
Joyous assemblage OF relatives and friends.

Washington was now ordered by Sir John
ST. Clair the quartermsster- generol Of the
forces under General Forbes, to repair to
Williamsburg and lay the state Of the case
before the Council. He set off promptly on
hoesebaek, attended by Bishop, the we'll
trained military servant who had served the
late General Braddcck. II proved an event
ful journey, though not in military point of
view. In crossing ferry Of the Pamunkey,
a branch Of York River, he fell in company
with Mr.. Chamberlayne who lived in the
eighborhood, and who, in the spirit OF Vr-
ginian hospitality, claimed him as n guest.
1t was with difficulty Washington could be
prevailed on to halt for dinner 30 impatient

pleh his mission.
Among the guests Of Mr.. Chamberlayne 8

dead about three years, leaving her with two
young children and large fortune She is
represented rs being rather below the mid.
die size, but extremely well shaped, with an
agreeable countenance, dark hazel eyes and
hair, and those frank, engaging manners, so
captivating in Southern women. We are
not informed whether Washington had met
with her befOre probably not during her
"idOwhood, as during that time he had been
alm0st continually On the frontier. We
have shown that, with his gravity and re-

charms; and they may have had n greater

Origin of Various Plants.

Every farmer ought to be somewhat
acquainted with the origin and history of
all ordinary plants and trees, TO know
their nature, country and condition. Such
knowledge, besides being great source
of pleasure, and very desirable, will often
enable him to explain phenomena in the
habits OF many plants that otherwise would
appear inexplicable'
Wheat, although considered by some as
native of Sicily, originally came from
| the central table-land of Thibet, where it
yet exists as a grass, with small, mealy
seeds.
Rye exists wild in Siberia.
Barley exists wild in the mountains OF
Himalaya.
Oats were brought from North Africa.
Millet, one species is a native of India,
another of Egypt and Abyssinia.
Maize, { Indian corn, is ofnative growth
| in America.
Rice was brought from South Africa,
whence it was taken to India, and thence
to Europe and America.
Peas are of unknown origin,
Votches are native of Germany.
The Garden Bean, is from the East In
dies.
Bucllwheat came originally from Siberia
and Turkey.
Cabbage grows wild in Sicily and Ma
pies.
The Poppy was brought ffom the East.
| The Sunfower from Peru.
| Hops came to perfection as wild fow-
er in Germany.
Saffron came from Egypt.
| The Onion is also native of Egypt.
Horseradish comes from South Europe.
| Tobacco is a native of Virginia, Tobago
and California. Another species has also
| been found wild in Asia.
The grasses are mostly native plants
and so are the Clovers, except Lucerne
which is native of Sicily.
| The Gourd is an Eastern plant.
The Potato is well-known native of
Peru and Mexico.
Coriander grows wild near TIE Mediter-
ranean.
Anise was brought from the Grecian
Archipelago.
