On cutering England, Mary threw herself on
Elizabeth s favor, but though the Queen Of Eng
land did not personally receise her sister and
the hoir TO her crown, neither did she SO iar
deprive her Of liberty as to prevent access to
those who chose TO seek the company Of the
banished queen. Her correspondence was nm
limited, and her physical comforts, even luxu-
ries, were provided for.
Various opinions give TO Elizabeth the cen
sure Of cruelty toward Mary, and charge The
greater part Of her troubles and misfouunes on
the Queen Of England but We cannot believe
iha, in the heart Of any woman, The feelings Of
"kiih an kin" are SO deadened, as io warrant
all that is presumed Of Elizabeth.
During the remaining nineteen years Of
Mary Sluau's life, she was a captive in Eng

death as she had ever encountered misfortune

jeremiah Mason seldom wasted words on
anything When the Methodist elder waited
on him during the famous trial Of Ephraim X.
Avery for the alleged murder Of Marin Cornell,
and announced TO him 10 oracnlar language that
the Angel Gabriel had appeared to him The
night previous, aud assured him that brother
Avery was innocent, let him be summoned,
was his instant reply, without abalinR attention
10 his work, or raising his eyes a second from
tho table. The late Judge Smith, of New
Hampshire, was a man Of infinite humor, and
nothing appeared 10 please him more than 10
crack joke with Mr. Mason, who was H. con-
temporary at the bar One day Mr. Mason was
engaged defending man named Smith for horse

The following letter from lady eorrespon-
dent Of the New York Tribune, will be read
with pleasure by .he ladies', and with interest
by many Of the Steiner sex
WAsnISoToS, Monday, Feb 25, 1856.
DsAR s.: Ones first and very proper i'm
pulse on visiting this city is to see the Presi-
dent. Our Chief Magisiracy, the highest Of
fee in the gilt Of great people-the place
once held by Washington, and made sacred by
the solemn and impressive manner in which he
regarded ii--awakens curiosity and commands
respect, whatever may be our feelings toward
the immediate incumbent. Gen. Pierce re-
ceives every Friday evening, and al the last re-
cepiion loined the miscellaneous throng that
crowd the dusky way-I beg pardon-l mean
which flowed inio the barn-ike rooms of the
White House.
A little incident connected with this recep-
tion will give you clearer idea of the condi-
ton Of society here than pages of reflections.
found it necessary to consult miliner-as a
little old maid from the interior cannot BE- ex-
pecled TO come TO this center of fashionable fol-
ly and political wickedness armed and equipped
as the iron laws Of society command, and Of
course found any quantity Of preparations nee
essary.
81 fear" said the fashionable dressmaker,
"tha, we canno, have these things ready for
you in time"
"Indeed ~
ayes, ths is the 22d Of February, and my
girls all go to the Presidents levee this eve
ming"
This was said 10 very quiet, maiier-of.fac,
manner, as IL nothing new. But must con-
fess that, simple republican as ] am, the thought
that these work-women should be my associates
at the Presidents mansion, was somewhat start
ling. soon recovered from that, however,
and felt no i'll, that ! am aware, from the re-
suit That the little things in their little fine-
ry were in attendance, were pleasantly received
by the President, and aided in Tightening the
general effect by bringing youth grace and
beauty with the scene, ! have no question. But
mark the following
On my return to the hotel found an invita-
tion to grand ball given by Mrs Sal,on Soap,
wife of millionaire, and | said in the vexa-
lion Of woman heart "What shall wear o.
Mrs Gregory Alrite, the fashionable lady who
for tho moment holds me under her protection,
responded in this wise
my dear child, don't worry yourself No
one thinks Of dressing at that place Wear
anything, ii you go at all. Mrs Sallon Soap
is only retired shoe-dealer."
r Remembering the proposed invasion of an
entire millinery upon our Chief Magistrate al
his own house, could scarcely refrain from
smiling, and begged my friend 10 explain.

I'm GROWING oLD.-Br J. G. s.,

I'm GROWING OLD.-BY J. G. SAKE.
My days pass pleasantly away,
My nights are blessed ws,h sweetest sleep /;
feel no symptom Of decay,
have no cause to moan and weep;
My foes are impotcnt and shy,
My friends are neither false nor cold,
And yet, Of late, often sigh
m growing old
My growing talk of olden times,
My growing thirst for early news,
My growing apathy for rhymes,
My growing love for easy shoes,
My growing hate Of crowds and noise,
My growing fear Of taking cold
All tell me, in the plainest voice
IN growing old
I IN growing fonder Of my staff,
I'm growing DINNER in the eyes,
I'm growing fainter in my laugh,
I'm growing deeper in my sighs,
I'm growing careless Of my dress,
Pm growing frugal of my gold.
I'm growing wise, I'm growing-yes---
TN growing old
feel it in my changing taste,
sec it in my changing hair,
sec it in my growing waist,
sec 1t in my growing heir,
A thousand hints proclaim the truth,
As plain as truth was ever told.
That even in my yaunted youth,
I'm growing old
All me, my very laurels breathe
The tale in my reluctant ears
And every boon the hours bequeath
But makes me debtor to the years
Fen hattery's honeyed words declare
The secret she would Tain withhold,
And tells me in GLOW young you are ~
I'm growing old
Thanks for the years whose rapid fight
My sombre muse too sadly sings
Thanks for the CLEANS Of golden light
That tint the darkness Of her wings,
The light that beams from out the sky,
Those heavenly mansions to Lufold
Where ell are blest, and none may sigh,
SIN growing old ~
