Description OF WASHINGTON BY AN
ENGLIsHMAN-General Washington is
now in the forty-seventh year of his age.
He is tall, well.made man, ratherlarge-
boned, and has q genteel address. His
features are manly and bold; his hair a
deep brown; his face rather long, and
marked with the smallpox; his complex
ion sunburnt and without much color.
His countenance sensible, composed and
thoughtful. There is a remarkable air of
dignity about him, with striking degree
of graoefulness.,. He has an excellent
understanding, without much quickness;
is strictly just, vigilant and generous; an
'affectionate husband, a faithful friend, a
father to the deserving soldier gcntle in
his manners, in temper reserved; a total
! stranger to religious prejudices in morals
irreproachable; and never known to cx-
ceed the bounds Of the most rigid temper
ance In word, all his friends and
acquaintances allow that no man ever
united in his own person more perfect
alliance of the virtues of a philosoper
with the talents Of general Candor,
sincerity, afability, and simplicity, seem
to be the striking features of his character
and, when occasion offers, the power of
displaying the most determined bravery
and independence ofspirit lr

dearly-loved volumes piled up in the

this agel 1t rings out pure and clear,
like the silvery tone of an angels trumpet
music, as heard in one of those dreams
chat come to us when sorrow or sickness
almost emancipates the soul from the
body. Thrice blessed and happy should
this woman poet be, for her poems have
sustained manya sister woman in life's
weary journey, elevating her above its
pretty but cutting miseries, and consoling
her for its shortcomings. Oh, that glori.

us it is the only real being, and
this feverish state of distorted wills"
called life, is but a horrid dream.

The ART OF GROWING OLD GRACE

the art on growing old gracefully. It is
an art which middle life works at and

Serene and waiting, and beloved age is
the result of honorable and virtuous mid.
die life; and age, querulous, exacting,
burdensome to itself and others, is the
product of selfish, frivolous middle life.
1t is perhaps not without some shade Of
sadness that one comes to rank himself in
middle life. Slowly it tdawns upon him
reluctantly he admits it. 1t is no sense
Of growing old that teaches him, no flag
ging Of the powers Of the spirits moi
even the taunt of that opprobrious epithet
nowadays aippantly flung at middle
life-for the "foggy" is not the old, but
the middle-sged man; but one finds that
with the fuller flesh, and frmer muscle
and stronger tread, and truer poise of his
faculties-while yet his sympathies are
all young aud fresh, while yet he waits to
follow where the older and wiser lead
the world waits and looks to him, pushes
him forward where he hesitates, until he
discovers that, no longer looked upon as
young, he must take his place in the
toiling and exposed van, and hew the
way in which other steps shall tread. p

The saslight on the flags below

While pater and his coterie
Talked matters parliamentary,
Or ruled, with solemn shake OF head,
How prudently the young should wed,
In my committee said, "This,
My dearest, Is the time to kiss!"
Lured BY the shadowy hour and nook,
The preferred pledge she coyly took;
When lol by our unluoky fate,
In silhoutte, our tete- tete,
Noses and pouted lips were all
ObliQuely shadowed on the wall! 49,.

M. About on the Official Pamphlet.
The 0piaione Na.ioaalt publishes from time
10 time, in its fcaileton, very amusing letters
from Ion jeuaf Aoma1e to his cousin Madeline,
all of which are written by n. About, tue author
Of the weil-known work Oh The Roman Question.
In his last letter, the writer gves the following
opinion Of the pamphlet which has excited so
much attention:
''Thc pamphlet itself is very straightfor.
ward, uupretendipg and lucid composition. The
style is correct, without auy attempt at elegance,
unl vigorous without the slightest approach to
rhetorical defamation. The author must be T.
man Of business, for be goes straight to the
point, aud dispcnses with all prcamb'e. His
brethren Che liberal writera} seemed to hare
taken delight in rendering the Rolnan question
obscure. One addressed bis useless declama-
tion against the abuses Of the P0ntihcal Gov
ernment, and what Luther called the rottenuess
Of Rome. Another, like waggish school-boy,
ahowered down ridculc OIL II Government
which, though certainly uubearab'e, is still en-"
titled 10 respect. 1hc author Of the pamphlet
las stated and proved in the graTest and most
respectful mauucr that the lope's Government,
as It HOW exists, sacrifices 2,0o0,0 Of Italians
and compromises Catholicism. He politely
points ont an in!allible means Of limiting the
evil, mud OF Eaving almost whole nation with
cut ipjuring thetrue interests Of religion. My,
liz does more: he exasts the spiritual head Ut
the Church, and revcreutiy looseus the bonds
which c!,ain the Pope to the yie interests Of this
world. lie sets above NIL thrones one august
ind huly seat; he forges with the gold Of Eu.
rope tiara more sacred than all crowns- Last
ly, with modesty that cannot be too highly
appreciated, he submits bis plans to the appro-
