wAsHrNoroNs FAREWELL ADDRESS

Tho following extract is from a letter
written 10y n lady upwards of eighty years
old, residing in Philadelphia, to her grand
son in Washington
".Whcn General Washington delivered
his Farewell Address, in tho room Mt tho
southeast corner Of Chestnut and Sixth
streets, sat immediately in front of him.
1t was in the room tho Congress had oc-
cupied. The tablo Of tho Speaker was be-
tween the two windows on Sixth street,
Tho daughter Of DIR. c., of Alexandria, tho
physician and intimate friend of Wash
ington Mrs. H., whose husband was the
auditor, was very dear friend Of mnc-
Her brother, Washington, was one of the
Secretaries of General Washington. Dan
bridge, nephew of Mrs. Washington, was
the other. was included in Mrs. IFS par
ty to witness the august, the solemn scene.
N c declined going with Mrs.
H., who had determined to 90 so carly as
to secure tho front bench. 1t was fortu.
nate for N C afterwards Mrs.
L.) that sho would not trust herself to be
so near her honcrcd grandfather. My dear
father stood very near her; she was terri
bly, agitated. There was a narrow passage
from the door of entrance to the room
which was on the cast, dividing the rows Of
benches. Gen. Washington stopped at the
end to let Mr.. Adams pass to the chair
The latter always wore full suit of brirht
drab, with slash, or rather loose cuffs. IT,
also wore wrist rufllcs. lie had not channcd
his fashions lie was a short man, with 4
good head. With his family, he attended
our church twice day.
"Gcncral Wasl,iugton's dress was full
suit Of black. Ills military hat had the
black cockadc. There stood the Father o.
his Country, acknowledged by nations
the first in war, first in peace, first in the
hearts of his counirymen.' No marshals
with gold colorcd scarE, no cheering. Tho
most profound stiffness greeted him, rs il
that great assembly desired to hear him
age of the heart. Mr.. Adams covered his
face with both his hands. Tho sleeve O.
his coat and his hands wcro covered Will
tears. Every now and then there was I:
suppressed sob. I cannot describe Wash.
'ngton's appearance as felt it-pcrfectIy
composed and sclf-posscssed till the close o
his address. Then, when strong mems
sobs broke loose, when tears covered theil
faces, then the great man was shaken.
never took my eyes from his face. Largo
dtops came from his eyes. lie looked tc
the grateful children who were parting
with their father, their friend, as if his
heart were with them and would be to tho
end"

Yes, yos sho cried, my hourly fears,
My dreams have boded all too right,
We part-for over part-to.mghtl
knew, knew it could not Lust
Twas bright, twas heavenly, brt twas pus,l
Obi ever thus, from childhood's hour,
I've seen my fondcst hopes decay!
never loved a tree or flower,
But twas the first to fade away.
I never nursed dear gazelle,
To glud inc with its soft black eye,
But when it came to know me well
And love me, il was sure to diei
Now too-the joy most like divine
or all l ever dreamt or knew,
To see thee, hear thee, call thee mine
Oh misery! mus, lose that tool
Yet go--on pcril's brink we meet;-
Those frghtful rocks-that treacherous sea-
No, never come ngain-tiough sweet,
Though heaven, it may be death to thee.
Fnrewell-and blessings on thy way,
Whereer thou gost, beloved stranger!
Better TO sit aud watch that ray,
And think thee safe though far away,
Than have thee near me, and in danger!

Count zhem-Count what9 Why count
tho mercies which have been quietly fall
ing in your path through every period Of
your history. Down they come every NOR
ming and every evening, as angel mcsscn-
gers from the father Of lights, to tell you
Of your best friend in heaven. Have you
lived these years, wasting mercies, trcading
them beneath your feet, and consuming
them every day, and never yet realized from
whence they came : If you have, Heaven
pity you!
You have murmured under afflction ;
but who has heard you rejoice over blessings
Do you ask what are these mercies g.
Ask the sunbeam, the rain drops, the star
or the queen Of night. What is life but a
mercy? What is the propriety of stopping
to play with thorn bush when you may
just as well pluck sweet flowers, and eat
pleasant fruits
Happy is he who looks at the bright side
Of life, Of providence, and of revelation.
Who avoids thorns and thickets, and
sloughs, until his Christian growth is such
that if he cannot improve them, he ma y
pass among them without injury. Count
merciess before you complain of affliction.

Southern |pomen.-A letter in the Bos-
ton Chronotype contains the following Just
tribute 10 our fair citizens. As we but
rarely see the truth so promptly expressed
relative to anything belonging to the South
in that region particularly-we copy it
in compliment to all concerned:
The first thing that struck me in regard
to the women at the South was their beau
ty OF form-their symmetrical and harmo-
NOUS figures. InsILis and in the ease and
gracesof their motions they excel Northern
women. Many Of them dress with exouis.
ite. taste; often very richly, but seldom
g.udiIy, or with any disply of tinsel. The
proyerbial affability and urbanity of the
Southern character finds the fullest deveIop.
ment in the women. The Southern lady is
naturally and necessarily easy, unembarrass-
Cd and polite. You may 60 into the ooun.
try where you please !; you may goss far as
you please from town, village and pos. of.
fee; You may call at tss poorest house you
can find, and whether JON accost maid or
rratron, you will teanswered with the same
poIiteness, and treated With tbs ssme spon.

False Education.

The early breaking down into invalidism
of the American women is the subject of
frequent remark. Our young maidens are,
as class beautiful but delicate, and hardly
do hosts of them get out of their teens be-
tore they become more or less the victims
OF disease. Several of our contemporaries,
we perceive, are calling attention to one
cause of this evil, viz: The overworkinp of
girls at school. Where the blame of this
is to be laid we are not prepared TO say.
We doubt, however, whether it is all to be
put at the doors Of fteachers, for We have heard
many of them lament it, especially those
having charge of public schools. Tile dociL
ity, love of appreciation and emulation, quite
characteristic Of the sex, taken in connection
with the carly age at which they are seated
at the desk, and the early age at which they
are called from their studies, may account
for much of the error. Not only the acoui
sltion Of the common branches Of education.
but likewise the acquisition OF accomplish
ment, Is crowded into few years and this.
too, with premature entrance, ofentimes,
into the eXcitements Of society. Natural
consequences of this are headaches, crooked
spincs, disordered nerves, weak eyes, debii
tY, chronic complaints, that occasion more
mischief, moral as well as physical, than
many may imagine. What must follow
where the wife and mother is the victim of
ill-health, can be easily imagined. And
how many instances are there of this ill.,
health traceable to the grevous mistakes of
parental vanity or thoughtlessness, in sub.
Jecting mere children to the inevitable dele
terious effects Of everlasting the brain, keep
ing TO sedentary pursuits involving contine-
ment, unnatural positions unreieved by Wig.
orous open air exercise This is not a sub
ject on which it is our province--were we
competent--to speak in detail. But it is
a subject which demands very serious con-
siIeration. 1t concers the prosperity ard
happiness of thousands. II concerns the
comfort and Joy Of numbercss homes. 1t
concerns the cause Of humanity; inasmuch
as the abuses alluded to threaten 10 bring
on, in some respects, an alarming degenera.
cy in posterity-and that posierity only n
generation or two behind Us. The hosts of
physicians, the statistics of tho death of in
fants, daily occurring facts within the obser-
vation Of every one, are all indicative of a
great wrong, which threatens to produce Bit
ter fruits, to disappoin: many Of the hopes
Of progressive and prosperous civilization.

/ That night retired to be more disturbed
than ever, and only determined upon one
point, that [ would pursue INV investipa-
tions no further. I could be Of no assistance
TO this unhappy man, and 10 more verbal
consolation would have been of any benefit
TO him; my best plan was to try to forget
the events Of the last two days, and never to
allow Elvyn's name or history to pass my
lips. Alter seemingly never-endlng night
spent in feverish tossings and tumblings,
with occasional snatches Of perturbed sleep,
rose with the first ginmer Of daylight,
and hurried out into the fresh morning air.
On issuing from the door of the inn, my
attention WAS attracted by group of people
on the river bank, who were gathered round
some dark object which had, apparently,
been landed from an Indian canoe living
near. AS | approached the group divided,
and there, in The centre of it, dark and
dripping, discolored and confused bv the
snags against which in the rapid flow of the
rirer, 1t had tossed, and with small pune.
tured wound in the chest, round which the
blood had clogged, lay the body Of Hugh
Elvyn.
Horror-strcken, inquired Of the by.
ISLANDERS, and was soon made acquainted
with all they had to tell A young Indian
attached to one of the numbering parties had
Tor some time suspected the existence of an
intrigue between his wife and Elvyn, on The
rprevious evening he had seen them contin-
ually together, had tracked her to the inn
whittier she had been sent with my letter:
and then had been heard 10 vow vengeance
against her betrayer. Lato that night, Ell
vyn was perceived in a halfintoxicated state
making his way towards the shanty, at tn,
edge OF the river; he was never seen aliv,
again. The Indian had decanped, aud sc
far as l know, was never captured. NJ,
business was urgent, and | could stay nc
longer. Wearied and dispirited returned
to the inn, and in few minutes bade adeu
for ever~to Calumet Island.
