MISCELLANEOUS READING.

CELIBAcY or WASHINGTON lRyIHo.-lL-
stead Of being defect" the cehbacy ot
Irving was his crown If glory. Those who
have studied his writings, must have been
stuck with the remarkable transition irom
humor to pathos from the broadest fun 70 thu
most meditatiye sentiment. which occurs be-
tween the facetious history Of New York and
the Sketch Book Many perhaps, imagine
that this i accounted Tor by bis loss OF fortune.
But the feeling i too soulful for such an
Interpretations II had It's origin in one Of
those disapp pHutmeu;s Of the heart which
color all the subsequent life of true man.
We trust that now there Is no want ot deica.
cy in aiIudng to the fact that the subject ot
lrying's love died during their betrothal. We
have heard the last interview described by
melnb ber Of her family; aud 70 the sacred sor-
row thus engenieled, is to he ascribed much
that is touching aud true in the sentiment 81
Irving writings; u his fealty 70 this afec
ton. ia nu small degree, j. owing the con
tinued >en,ihlIity which kept his heart fresh
t. the last and above all thatrespect for and
sympafhy with the innate and holy senu-
ments Of humanity which he 50 uniformly
cherished and manifested in letters and ln
life.
Nor is this ALL Time may have healed
the wound and reconciled the bereft u an
other relation; but there interviewed a period
Of disaster which drove his eldest brother u
bankruptcy. For his sake, and that Of bis
family u daughters, Washington Irving con
tiuued single, took them all home, and BE-
came q father to the children. Beautiful
was their mutual devotion; happy their con-
genial household, and Sunnyside is now be-
qucathed % them.
80 one familiar with Mr. Irving, associa
ted the idea Of celibacy with him; he was
always in domestic atmosphere; his neices
were like daughters; his fair neighbors biz
layorite companions; children the delight of
his heart. With such free and fond afec-
tions he could under no circumstances, lead
the life Of single man, as the phrase i
usually understood lie was domesticated
lii families abroad; he was the endeared cen
tre ii one ut home; and one If the most
beautiful aspects Of his life, as we'll a. one q
the most honorable, is that selected as excep-
tional after the hippant habit ii those who
ignorauty condemn what they haze neither
the Justice to examine nor tile refinement "a
soul to conjecture, mag be an evidence OF the
highest love and the most heroic self-denial
