Anecdote OF General Washington.

WASHINGTON had accepted an invitation
from Arnold to breakfast with him at
West Point the very day the plot was dis
covered, but was prevented from keeping
his engagement by what men call chance
by the earnest request, namely OF an
cid officer, near whose station they passed,
to spend the night there and inspect some
works in the neighborhood. Next day,
while Washington with his staff, includ-
ing La Fayette. were seated at table at
this officers quarters, dispatch was
brought to the American General, which
he Immediately opened and read, then
laid it down without comment. No alter
alton was visible in his countenance, but
he remained perfectly silent. Converse
ton dropped among his suite; and, after
some minutes, the General, beckoning La
Fayette to follow him, passed to an inner
apartment, turned to his young friend
without uttering a syllable, placed the
fatal dispatch In his hands, and then, Civ
ing way to an ungovernable burst of feel
ing, fell on his neck and sobbed aloud
The effect produced on the young French
marquis, accustomed to regard his General
(cold and dignified in his usual manner) as
devoid of the usual weaknesses of humsni
ty, may be imagined. "I believe" said La
Fayette iu relating this anecdote, "that
this was the only occasion, throughout
that long and sometimes hopeless struggle,
that Washington ever gave way, even for
moment, under reverse of fortune and
perhaps I was the only human being who
ever witnessed in him an exhibition of
feeling so foreign to his temperament. As
it was, he recovered himself before had
perused the communication that had
given rise to his emotion; and when he
returned to mis- staff not trace remained
on his countenance either of grief or des-
pondency"-" Beyond the Breakers" in
FEB. No Of LippincOtt's Magazine.

"Well, even now," 1 continued, "you
have not told me why you have risen so
early to-day, which is what you began
your story with. Of course, in the mean
time, | condole with you seriously, at your
good fortune"
"Whv," said the soon-to be married
man, "you only returned to England last
night, and / had to call on you, get you
out of bed, give you your breakfast, dress
you, and bring you down to the church,
where am just going to be married, be-
fore twelve o'clock"
Before twelve o'clock ?" exclaimed.
"Well, to oblige friend, don't mind ;
but really it's thing wouldn't do for
myself"
Frank walked down to the church like
a hero, as his hours of bachelorhood drew
to close. He departed this life at five
minutes before twelve, and it was l who
watched his last moments.

ONE YEAR 400.
BY MRS. n. b. STOWE.

ONE year ago ringing voice,
A clear blue eye
And clustering curls of sunny hair,
Too fair 10 die.
Only a year-no voice, no smile,
No glance of eye.
No clustering curls Of golden hair,
Fair but to die.
One year ago, what love, what schemes
Far into life
What ioyou hopes, what high resolves,
What generous strife !
The silent picture on the wall,
The burial stone.
OF all that beauty. life and JOY
Remain alone
One year, one year, one little year,
And 30 much gone.
And vet the even flow of life
Moves calmly on.
The grave grows green, the flowers bloom fail
Above that head:
No sorrowing tint of leaf or spray
Says he Is dead.
No pause or hush or merry birds,
That sing above.
Tell US how coldly sleeps below
The form we love.
Where hast thou been this year, beloved:
What hast thou seen?
What rising fair. what glorious life
Where thou hast beens
The veili the veil so thin, so strong:
'Twixt US and thee;
The mystic veili when shall IL fall.
That we may see:
Not dead, not sleeping, not even gone,
But present still,
And waiting for the coming hour
OF Gods sweet will
Lord of the living and the dead,
Our Saviour dear,
We lay in silence at Thy feet
This sad. sad year,

IT is seriously proposed. in New York
city, to put up an elevated plank road, to
be used only for velocipede riders-each
one to pay a small fee upon starting out.
The road, it is stated, could run over the
roofs of houses. The idea is certainly an
original one. I, comes from Mr.. Dana,
of the New York Sun, who is an enthu-
siast on the velocipede subject and has
been copied and favorably commented
upon by nearly all the newspapers of our
American metropolis"

A CANARY bird in Rochester, N. ", has
been taught to sing yankee Doodle"
Though occasionally interrupted in his
strains by few notes of his native music,
yet he shows his patriotism by filling
back on " Yankee Doodle" which he pre-
fers. His performance is so exact that
one in another room, nearing it, would at
once recognize the tune, and suppose that
some ore was Yhistling Il,

CAIIroRNIlNs donot seemto appreciate
velocipedes. One Of them says: "How
would q man who has felt his blood stirred
by ten-mile dash in a California saddle
feel ON finding himself truadling through
the streets like school, bOyS We wou:S
as soon think of riding broom handle
