THADDEUs KoscIusKo. During the
American struggle for independence,
Washington was greatly embarrassed by
The arrival of foreign officers who expect
ed nothing less than one of The highest
posts in the army and frequently, when
accepted, proved unworthy Of the station
assigned TO them. Experience Of this
kind led Washington to be exceedingly
cautious in receiving foreign officers into
The service. At this period, Kosciusko
presented himself to Washington, 'forti-
fed by letter from franklin. The first
interview between the gallant and gener-
Gus Pole and the equally generous WASH
ngton, is thus described in the third
volume Of Washington Irving's Wash.
iugton, just issued from the press
"What do you seek here 2" inquired
the Commander in. Chief.
"ro fight for American Independence"
"What can you dol"
"rry me-"
Washington was pleased with the curt
yet comprehensive reply, and with his
chivalrous air and spirit, at once received
him into his family as an aid-de-camp.-
His subsequent noble and gallan. career
as an officer in the American service, is
well known, and has inseparably joined
his name with iha, noble struggle to
which we owe our present exalted rank
as a nation.
For a number Of years suit has been
in progress in the courts Of the District
of Columbia, prosecuted by his collateral
heirs, to recover the property left by him
at his decease in this country, which
now amounts 10 upwards Of fifty thousand
dollars. We believe that final decision
has been rendered, establishing the rela.
tionship of the claimants and the validity
Of their claim.

Honor the Good.

The true basis of distinction among
men is not in position nor possession it
is not in the circumstances Of life, but in
the conduct.
II matters not how enviabe a position
u man occupies, nor how much wealth
he has in store, If there be defects in his
behaviour, he is not entitled to that
consideration and respect due 10 one who
is superior in moral point Of view, tho
be possesses neither riches nor honor.
1t is not ,ha, which gives us place, but
conduct which makes the solid distinction
We should think no man above US but for
his virtues, and no man below US bu, for
his vices. Entertaining this view, we
would seek 10 emulate The good, though
it be found under coarse exterior, and
pity The evil, though it be clothed in the
guest garb and dwell in luxury. We
would never become obsequious in the
wrong place.
Call no man mean, low, or vulgar,
because he tills the soil or stands before
the work bench for in point of true
worth and real manhood he may be much
superior to the President Of some bank
or some eminent liquor dealer, or Wal
street broker. or The rich nabob who
dwells in yonder miserable palace.
The virtuous and high minded sons ol
toll are natures noblemen. They aIe
lovers Of good, lovers Of truth, lovers Of
God. They were not born to shine, nor
be the recipients ofempiy honors, hut they
were born TO be men, the heaven Of earth
and a nations bulwark.

Mother
The first fond word our hearts express
In childhoods rosy hours
When life seems full Of happiness,
AS nature is Of flowers;
a word that manhood loves to speak.
When time has placed upon his cheek,
But sadly pondered now;
As time brings back mid vanished years,
A Mothers fondest hopes and fears.
Home
The only Eden left untouch'd,
Free from the tempter's snare;
a paradise where kindred heaSts
May revel without care
A wife's glad smile is imaged h ere,
And eyes that never knew tear,
Save those of happiness,
Beam on the hearts that wander back
From off the long and beaten track
Of sordid worldliness.
/. To taste those purer Joys that come
Lake Angels round the hearth at home.
Heaven
The end Of all Mothers prayers
The home of all her dreams,
The guiding star to light our path
With hopes ercheering beams
The haven for our storm tossed barque.
From out world where wild and dark
The tempests often rise
But still in every darksome hour
The hope will rise with holy power,
And point US to the skies.
Where Mother, Home. and Heaven are seen
Without cloud to intel veue.
