Mr.. Jos. Chester, an American, living in
London, has been looking up Washington
lineage, and proves, to his own satisfaction
at least, that the received genealogy is in
correct. He says: ain the year 1867 two
brothers, John and Lawrence Washington,
left for the Virginia colony. The gene
alogy from these brothers down is of course
easily traced with entire accuracy. John
was the immediate ancestor of George
Washington, being his grandfather. Al
though the two Washingtons were men of
some note, they have hitherto been con-
founded by all who have written of the
Washington pedigree, from Sir Isaac Head
to Washington Irving, with two other men
OF the same name, but only distantly re-
lated to thcm.n

A young man from the country, who
visited Cleveland, Ohio, the other day in
search of employment was asked by q man
to whom he applied if he could ride horse
back, and eagerly replied in the atiirma-
tive. His prospective patron told him he
had an opening for young mana bust
ness that necessitated great deal Of ira
yelling. The applicant declared that he
should like nothing better than to travel
for a living, and bargain was soon struck
between the two. But he was somewhat
chagrined at finding that the business
consisted in riding blind and intirm old
horse, in circular track, for the laudable
purpose of grinding tan-bark. He declined
the proposition.
The Toledo Commercial says: Not long
since a minister of the Gospel who was
attending O Synod meeting in that city
went to well-known restaurant, where
oysters, game, and other eatables, &C., are
gotten up to suit the taste Of customers,
and accosting a new German waiter who
was standing behind the bar, said : "Young
man, can l get any game here!" "Oh,
yes" was the reply, "blenty games
whisky boxer in der back room; blenty of
whisky boxer games-walk right in der
back room." The preacher thought the
young man was making game Of him, and
hunted game elsewhere.
When Lord B died, person met an
old man who was one Of his most intimate
friends. He was pale, confused, and awe
stricken. Every one was trying to console
him, but in vain. His loss" he exclaim-
ed, "does not affect me as much as his hor-
rible ingratitude. Would you believe it
he died without leaving me anything in his
WILL, who have dined with him at his
own house three times week for thirty
years."
1t was in Dublin city that a good -humor-
ed maid -of-all-work, Molly, once related to
her young mistress most marvellous
dream she had had the night before.
"Pooh, pooh !" cries the latter, at its con-
clusion, "you must have been asleep,
Molly, when you dreamed such nonsense"
Indeed, was not, theD," replies the in
dignant Molly; !" | was just as wide awake

General Butler can hardly be said to
have spoken in New York. But he es-
sayed to speak, and we suppose that his
essay was as good as q speech.-Prentice.

An, 70 many hearts how pleasant;
An how many called TO mourn
some the loss of sister, mother
some the loss of house and LANDS
some the loss OF father, hrotner
some the loss Of valued FRIENDS.

WHY this tossing, wretehed night?

Passed the present week and years'
And the thought OF time La wasted
Daylight found me still In tears.
And the rain ceased not its pattering,
Nor the wind its mournful sound:
Autumn leaves. all dead, fell scattering,
Strewing all the earth around.
Life, with all its wasted hours,
Before me passed In sad review;
Life, with all its joys and sorrows,
Friends now gone that once we're true.
Childhood's days, when all seemed sun
shine,
Hours that every day were bright;
Bright with hopes of future pleasure,
With no dark dream of sorrow night.
Home and kindred sisters, brother,
Alas how few are left 10 love
Father dear, and tender mother,
Gone from earth-yes, gone above. ..,.
Memory brought their forms before me-
Before me sadly passed each one;
And the tears fell faster, faster,
For knew / was alone.
Alone. felt my heart was breaking:
Alone this dreary, wretched night!
Alone, with memories sad awaking;
Alone! in tears, till morning light.
And the rain still dashed and pattered-
Pattered on the window pane,
And the wind ceased not its wailing-
Wailing forth this sad refrain.
Alone, in sad and bitter sorrow-
Alone. in WEAKNESS and tears
Could not improve the morrow?
Improve what's left Of future years
And the wind its wailing ceasing,
Seemed TO speak and calm my ieaTs
And the gentle rain drops whispered,
In Heaven alone there are no tears;
Live for God-His hand so tender
Gently wipes each weeping eye;
Live, and vows of service tender;
Live. oh, live. why should You die!
