SKETCH OF WASHINGTON.


The following personal description of
Washington, copid from the London Chron-
icle, July %, 1870, gives, in some respects,
better notion of his personal appearance
than any thing we have seen elsewhere
sGeneral Washington is now in the forty
seventh year of his age he is tall, we'll
made man, rather his features are manly
and bold, his eyes of blush cast, and very
lively; his hair deep brown, his face rath-
er long and marked with the small pox; his
complexion sunburnt and without much COL
or, aud countenance sensible, composed and
thouohtful. There is remarkable air of
dignity about him, with a striking degree
of gracefulness; he has an excellent under
standing, without much quickuess is stric-
tly just, vigilaut and generous; an afec-
tiouate husband, faithful friend, father
to the deserving soldier; gentle in his man
ners, in temper rather reserved; total
stranger to religious prejudices, which have
so often excited christians of one denomina-
ton to cut the throats of those of another;
in his morals he is irreproachable, and was
never known to exceed the bounds Of the
most rigid temperance; in word, all his
friends and acquaintances universally allow
that no man ever united in his own person

THAT DAM ROARING.

A young buck went to see the daughter
of Presbyterian elder lately, whose house
was near mill dam. 1t being the spring
of the year, the waters made considerable Of
a roar as they tumblcd over the dam. The
modest young gentleman tapped lightly at
the door at first and received no answer
He tapped again-stll no answer Again
and again he repeated his knock, but still
he was unheard. Mastering up courage,
he proceeded to inAict some severe thumps
on the door, which brought the staid old
gentleman out.
81 suppose" said the youngster, who had
by this time become slightly savage, from
being compelled to wait so long; 81 suppose
you could not hear me knocking for the
dam roaring"
"The dam roaring What do you mean,
sir? How dare you speak in that way!'
said the divine, somewhat angered at hear
ing the young man swear in his presence.
II mean to say, sir, that I suppose you
could not hear my knocking on account of
the dam roaring"
"Dam roaring, again You young scoun-
drel ! Have you the impudence to insult Inc
with repetition of those words? ? Begone,
sir?'
"My dear sir" quoth the now bewilder-
ed youth, 81 intended to say that | presu-
med 1 could not be heard on account of the
"DAM roaring," laying particular emphasis
on the last two words.
"Insult on insult !" shouted the infuria-
ted man, and he rushed at the poor fellow
with the evident intention of ejecting him,
but was restrained by the voice of his daugh-
ter, exclaiming-
"Pappa, suppose the young man inten-
ded to say that he could not be heard on ac-
count of the roaring of the DAM"
"Oh-I beg your pardon, sir-l beg your
pardon-walk in, walk in, really-ah, we'll !!
declare The dam roaring! Capital -
Come in, come in. That is really too rich %
1t is needless to add that the youngster
went in, and in the excellent society of the
young lady, soon forgot the "dam roaring"

WESTERN ETIQUETTE.

Our Yankee traveller, who saw the live
hoosier, has again written to his mother:
western people go their death on etl-
ouette. You can't tell man here he lies,
as YOU can down east, without fighting. A
few days ago man was telling two of his
neighbors in my hearing pretty large story
Says l.
stranger That whopper"
day there stranger says he.
And in the twiukling of an eye I found
myself in the ditch, a perfect quadruped,
the worse for wear and tear Upon another
occasion says I to man I never saw before,
as woman passed
That isn't specimen of your western wo-
men, is it%
you are afraid of the fevor and ague,
stranger, aint you" says he.
Very much, says I.
WELL replied he, shat lady is may wife,
and fyou don't apologize in two minutes,
by the honor of a gentleman / swear that
these two pistols (Which he held cooked in
his handy shall cure you of that disorder en-
tirely so don't fear, stranger
So knelt down and politely apologized |
admired this western country much-but
curse me if I can stand so much etiquette ;
it always takes me unawares.'

HEALTH FOR CHILDREN.

There are as many children die in cities
as in the country, and half the children born
do not reach ten years. Such result could
never have been intended by the wise and
kind Maker of us all. A different result
must be brought about, by the exercise of
the reason which, is implanted in all parents,
and which, if properly cultivated and prac-
tised in the lights of our time, would soon
work wonderful change in infantile NOR
tality.
l. Children should sleep in separate beds,
on mattresses Of straw or shucks of corn.
2. Require them to go to bed at regu-
lar early hour, aud let them have the fullest
amount of sleep they can take, allowing them
in no case to be walked up.
8. Except rug beside the bed, there
should be no carpet on the floor of their
chamber, no bed or window curtains, no
clothing of any description hanging about,
no furniture beyond dressing-table and a
few chairs, no standing fluids, except glass
of water, and nothing at all in the way of food,
or plants, or MOWERS. lu snoi'' e"a noei
should be the cleanest. driest, coolest, llgh-
test and most barren room in the house, in
order to secure the utmost purity of air pos
sible.
4. Make your study, to keep your chill
dren out of doors every hour possible, from
breakfast until sundown, for every five min
utes 50 spent in joyous play increases the
probabilities of healthful old age.
5. Let them eat at regular hours, and
nothing between meals; eating thus, never
stint them let them partake of plain sub
stantial food, until fully satisfied. Multi
tudes of children are starved into dyspepsia
The last meal of the day should be at least
two hours before retiring.
6. Dress children warmly, woolen flannel

A CLERICAL ANECDOTE.

Some thirty-fvc or forty years ago, Mr..
Williams, clergyman of the old school,
somewhat eccentric, came to Salem from the
country, to exchange desks with one of his
brethren in the ministry. During the Sab
bath noon intermission, he said to his daugh-
ter,
81 am going to lie down. If St. Paul
comes himself, don't you disturb me-"
Mr.. Bently, who preached in the East
church, who had been intimate with MIR.
Williams, but had not seen him for several
years, hearing he was in town, hurried off
after dinner, to make his old friend a call
"Where is brother Williams ?" he in
quired, as he met the daughter.
"He can't be disturbed, sir, not even if
St. Paul should call.
81 must sec him !' was the impatient re-
ioinder in the inimitable manner peculiar
to Mr.. Bently.
Resistance to such must was out of the
question. The room of the sleeper was desig-
mated. With no gentle voice, and a cores
pouding shake, Mr.. Williams was aroused.
He was delighted to see his old friend Bent
ly, reterating to his fervency his gratifica-
ton.
~ think, brother Williams, that you are
little inconsistent"
Chow so, how so, brother Bently ?'
"Didn't you tell your daughter you was
not to be disturbed, even if St. Paul called ?
yet you appeared very glad to see me-"
"No, no, brother Bently, not inconsistent
at all. I was-I am glad to see you. The
Apostle Paul why, hope to spend bles-
sed eternity with him; but you, brother
Bently, I never expect to see you again. -

Playing, playing, round me, playing
By the fireside warm and bright,
Is o little rosy cherub,
Oh she is gem of light!
Rolling DER the carpet there,
Pulling at the rocking chair.
Running, Running everywhere,
Little pratler void of care!
Now she's in the room, now out,
Now she's sitting by the stand;
Now she's scolding Pont about,
Now she pats him with her hand.
Thus she goes around the room,
Now she's got the poker-broom-
Now she's crying-now she talks
Now she's running-now she walks.
Now she falls-anon she's up,
Going, going MI the time;
Never knowing when to stop,
Now she's singing some old rhyme.
Thus, from early rorn till night,
Romps this little cherub bright
Gem of hope! with golden hair,
All around me, everywhere.
She is only three years old,
Only three years old to-day;
Does she think of after times?
When black hair will turn to gray?
All, she never thinks, not she,
OF the days that are to be:
Or the hopes, and cares, and fears,
Days of toiling, joys and fears.
Little angel, may'st thou ever
Be so joyous rs thou art;
Taste life's bitter cup, oh, never!
Or be doomed broken heart.
= May thy hours be sunny hours.
May thy path be strewn with flowers,
And wnen death steals out thy spirit,
Go, bright mansions to inherit.
