Tamariz to restore the empire Of the an

utter futili.y of all such designs. AS a
daring and original revolutlonist he has
earned great deal of notoriety, and that
is about all that he has achieved, His
attemptseems more like the romantic ef-

one who has figured somew what as states

of revolutions. Scarcely any popular
chief thinks OF calm. submission to adverse
fortunes. Sober dependence on the re:
suits Of popular elections seems to be un-
known. How to get up successful rev
olu ion is the study Of Mexican generals
and statesmen. The attempt of Haro

party, is still strong enough in the coun-

A recent writer in the North Ameri'-
can Rerielc calls attention to the curious
fact, that while in the fine arts and in
speculative thought, our remotest ances-
tors are still our masters, in science and
its applications the order of precedence
is reversed, and our own age has been
more prolific and amazing than the ag-
gregate Of all the ages which have gone
before us. "Iti not likely" he observes,
that the world win ever see a more per-
feet poet than Homer, a grander states
man than Pericles, a sublimer or more
comprehensive philosopher than Plato, a
sculptor equal to Phidias, a painter supe-
rior to Raphael Certain it is, that the
lapse Of twenty, or fve-and-twcnty cen
turtles, has given birth to none who have
surpassed them, and to few who have ap-
preached them" But in the practical
arts Of life, all this is reversed. "Take
two points only, the most obvious and thC
most signal-locomotion and the trans
mission Of intelligence. At the earliest
period of authentic history, men Travelled
as fast as in the year 1880. Nimrod 20
over the ground at the rate of ten ol
twelve miles an hour. Napoleon couI,
90 no faster. Between 1880 and 184i
we raised the maximum Of speed from
ten miles to seventy. The first six thou
sand years did nothing, or next tonothin,
the next six years did everything -
reached the limits of possible achievement
in this direction for no one imagines tba
any greater speed IS attainable, or woul
be bearable."

ANECDOTE OF WASHINGTON.

Towards the fall of the year 1775,
Gen. Washington and staff visited Chel-
sea on horseback to view the features of
the land thereabouts. They went from
the camp in Cambridge, through Med
ford and Maiden, and stopped blythe way
for rest and refreshment at the residence
of Mr.. John Dexter, situated in Maiden,
by the brook, just before you enter the
central village on the north side of the
old road LEADING frOrn Medford. This
house was fifteen rods from the street.
and distinguished for its convenience and
the beauty of its situation, having many
stately elm trees growing by the roadside
near, and was thus well calculated to
tempt troop of weary horsemen on a
summers day to dismount, to enjoy the
coolness of the shade and the hospitaIi-
ties of the mansion. Here Washington
and his suite alighted and after hitching
their horses under the trees, entered the
house by invitation Of MIR. Dexter and
partook of refreshments. When the
party came out to remount their horses,
one Of the gentlemen accidentally knock
ed off a stone from one of the walls which
ran along from the house to the street
outside Of the rows of trees. Washing
ton remarked to him that he had better
replace the stone. The officer, having
remounted, replied, ''No, viii leave that
for somebody else to do" Washington
then went quietly and replaced the stone
himself, saying, as he did so, Il always
make it my rule, when visiting a place,
to leave things in as good order as l find
them
This incident was related to us by Cap
lain Richard Dexter, who was witness
of the facts related, and at the time about
nineteen years Of age.-Btosber Hill Au-
rora.

neitz and Flamsteed. 1t is just retri-
button that Newton's corpuscular theory
of light has succumbed before the undula-
tory theory defended by Huygens and
Hooke; that his law Of double refraction
has been displaced by that of Huygen's; !;
that his theory of the infexion of light
has been forgotten for Hooke's and that
his method of fuxions, which raised the
greatest din of all, has been supplanted
by the deferential calculus of Leibnitz.
For one thing in these controversies we
may be proud of Newton. His Jealousy
was absurd, all generosity was forgotten F;
but he never descended TO the atrocious
frauds which disgraced his opponents,
Bernoulh, Leibnitz, and Wolf,
Such was Newton as a man. Glorious
in his intellect, with a nifty rather intel
lectual than devotional, he was stole
without the merit of stole, for he had nc
/ feelings to contend with. 1t is very sad
dening to find that the two most splendid
names which science can boast Of belong
to men so deficient in their moral natures
as Lord Bacon and Sir Isaac Newton
In the former we find a positive mora
obliquity, which would awaken pity were
it net joined to so majestic an intellec
that it texcites terror and despair Of human
nature. In the latter we find simply ;
vacuum-iron intellect on every side sur
rounding and maintaining the tremendou
gap within. We have no desire to NOR
alize on the fact. We have simply en-
deavored to give a faithful representation
of Newton's character, believing that n'
possible good can result from the fulsom'
batteries which are heaped on his name
When the contemporaries of Newton haile'
him as a god, they declared, in very bril-
liant phrase, that he was not man.

watching place of the solitary astrono-
mer. The thousands below him, uncon-
scious of his intense anxiety, joyously
pursue their rounds of business their cy-
cles of amusements. The sun slowly
climbs the heavens, round and bright,
and full orbed.
The tenant of the mountain, too, al
most begins to waver in the sternness of
his faith, as the morning hours roll away.
But the time of his triumph, long delay
ed, at length begins to dawn-a pale and
sickly hue creeps over the face Of nature.
The sun has reached its highest point,
but his splendor is dimmed; his light Is
feeble. At last it comes Blackness Is
eating away his round disc; onward, with
slow but steady pace, the dark veil moves
blaeIser tlisn a-tlses-aEd rights; thegloom
deepens: the ghastly hue Of death Gov
ers the universe; the last ray is gone
and horror reigns. 4 wall of terror fills
the murky air; the clangor of brazer
trumpets resounds; an agony of despair
dashes the stricken millions to the ground
while that lone man, erect on his rocky
summit, with arms outstretched to heav
en-, pours forth the grateful gushing o
his heartto God, who had crowned his eff
forts with triumphant victory.
