In the new life of Josiah Quincy there is
an interesting mention of Gen. Washington
receptions. 1t appears that the opinions of
Mr.. Quincy and his wife differed as to Wash
ington's manners and appearance. He main
tanned that Stuart's portrait was highly ideal
lied. She regarded him as superior being,
far above the common race in majesty and
grace Of person. II will tell you" he said,
lust how he struck me. He reminded me
Of the gentlemen who used to come to Bos-
ton in those days to attend the general court
from Hampden or Franklin county in the
western part of the State. A little stiff in
his person, not little formal in his manners,
not particularly at ease in the presence Of
strangers. He had the air Of a country gen.
tleman not much accustomed to mix in socie-
ty, perfectly polite, but not easy in his adj
dress aud conversation, and not graceful in
his gait and movements" His friend, Mr..
Sullivan, who worshiped Washington, had
the same opinion of his manners

And her face: oh it was passing fair; the music
Of her prattle found echo in every heart, and

Furrowed with many a care; Affections hand
Rested heavy on her tender form, all unused to

The light of childish innocence and in her low

Woman were the same. and, yet; they the
Same? Even as the bud and full blown flower.
Once,
A boy, proud, generous, noble boy; u Fathers
Pride, Mothers hope and Sisters stay.
Again,
A reckless, dssipated, ruined youth forgotten
Home, drunkard's name, among strangers and
Alone, despised and scorned OF men. To that
Mothers heart, (t.-at) prays morning, noon, and
Night for her hayward darling, the beautiful
Boy and the lost man are the for on earth,
There is one deathless thing, a Mothers love;
One voice, never hushed by grief Or shame-it is
A Mothers prayer.
Once,

The effect::produced by chess-play, upon the
moral and physical idiosyncracies OF different
individuals, presents curious and not anus
ing study to the observer. A laughable story
is related of member Of a Northern chess
club, who, upon certain occasion having
lost several games in succession to an op-
ponent whom he considered inferior to him
self, suddenly left the club room in state of
intense disgust. Coming into the street, he
spied right opposite to him the back Of an un-
suspecting indiyidul who was in the act of
tying his shoe The opportunity of letting
off his splenditaa 1ilas was irresistible. The
splendid and defeated chess players accordingly
without further question, straightway admis-
tered hearty coup de pied to the astounded
shoe-tyer exclaimingi in aloudvoice, "Confound
you, you are Arrays tying your shoe J"

This looking forward to enjoyment don't
pay. The only way to be happy is to take the
drops of happiness as God gives them to us
every day Of our lives. The boy must learn
to be happy while he is learning his trade;
the merchant while he is making his fortune.
If he fails to learn this art, he will surely miss
his enjoyment, when he gains what he has
