The speaker was a man Of some
twenty-five years of age, who stood
in the porch Of a country house fifty

But you will be glad to have me

young lady you will welcome home.
Father wishes me to take music and

been carefully conducted under his

lacked some of the lighter lady-like
accomplishments, her mind was well
stored with useful knowledge, and a
better housekeeper it would have been
hard to find. Ralph Goodall was the
son of one of DR.. Holman's college
friends, who, at his death, left the boy

TWENTY YEARS MARRIED.

Yes. twenty years have winged their fight
since that mysterious word spoke,
When, on beautcous summer night,
& l first assumed the fiowery yoke.
IA long had cravcd the blssful chain.
And cheerfully subscribed the vow;
Perhaps I'd do the same again.
Perhaps-though, am older now.
AAA well do recall the time
When she, now penisve by nv side.
Stood, in her blushing morning prime,
tender, sweet and bashful bride.
And ], so proud Of that dear hand,
Could scarce contain myself for bliss;
I'd bought tract of fairy land,
And scaled my purchase with kiss.
For happiness we trimmed our sail.
Ny darling little bride andI;
Hopes breezes blew pleasant gale,
And gently smiled the summer sky.
The world seemed made for her and me.
All bright wherever We might turn,
Our life to be a tranquil sea
Sweet innocents we'd much to learn.
For soon did cares disturbing breath
Its baneful influence impart.
And bitter sorrow, born of death
O'crcast the sunshine of our heart:
Each closer. fOnder, clung to each,
Blessed with the strength Of loves rcpose.
Enduring all that grief could teach.
We'd much Of joy, though small our sphere,
Anu craVcd no more extended fame,
For children made our dwelling dear
Twas wonderful how fast thev camel
The more the mcrrier.' we said.
And in them every wish was blest;
a part in our embrace have stuid
A mound at Woodlawn tells the rest.
Those twenty years have left their trace
Upon her brow, then smooth and fair,
And stolen, some say, the witching grace
That once her features used to wear;
But still see the same kind eyes
Beam on me with light as true
AS when. in loves young paradise,
first their inspiration knew.
And well, well-wcl II let that pass
None more than times changes see,
Each day shave myself alas
Ny mirror does not tiattcr me
But if I'm changed for worst or best
cannot answer, on my life.
And leave the solving OF this test
10 such Us choose to ask my wife
This lesson We have fully learned.
Pure happiness that men have deemed,
Is but hope soon overturned,
A vision but in fancy dreamed
That all of happiness below,
Pursuing which the life is spent,
In mingled scenes OF bliss and woe,
Is measured by the word content.
Though fortune may withhold its smile.
As it has done in time before,
Content shall still our way bcgulc.
And rest the future landscape Ger.
The future-who its tale can tell
But for it we've no doubt nor fears.
And like our life that's past so well,
Wen try another twenty years.

THE REPUBLICAN COURT"

Observing in the New York journal
of Commerce a few days ago some
complimentary allusions to the late
George Washington Parke Gusts, of
Arlington, we are reminded that we
had in our possession an unpublished
contribution from his pen in relation
to the habitudes which prevailed at
our " Republican Court in the days of
our first President As these rcminis-
ccnccs may be deemed to have re-
ccivcd new interest since the death
of their writer has precluded the hope
of any additional communications,
such as our readers were annually
favored with on the 22d of February,
during the life Of Mr.. Custis, we have
concluded no longer to withhold from
them the last contribution penned by

pleasant part Of the city, with a con,

The cquipages of the President
were well provided for, the stabling
for twelve horses beiug extensive and
commodious, and the coach-houses
large and convenient.
Washington's unmitigated, untiring
employment and labor, made it neces
