Captain Mnrryntt and Henry Clay.
From, the Lexington {Fy.) 0bstru<r and Reporter
Tho following incident was related to us by
Judge r. A. Buckrer, Of this city, who WAS preH-
cut at the time it occurred.
. Captain Marry.tt, while in this country, WAS
present at Ashland, By invitation Of A1r. Clay,
and number of gentlemen had boen invited to
meet tho noted Eng1ishman at state dinner.
After the wine had began to circulate, Mr. Clay,
in conversation, made some allusion to the Eng
lieh custom which requires the guests on such
occasions to present the head servant OF their
entertainer with some gratuity before leaving.
This offended Captain Marryatt, who, in D very
emphatic manner, denied the existence Of any
such custom.
n1r. Clay responded that such must be the
case, for he, when dining with Lord CastlereLgh.
had forgotten it, and had been reminded Of it by
his Lordship's butler.
:. Captain Ii. seemed to be still offended, and
was about to make some testy remark, when his
entertainer sent the decanter to him BY q ser-
vant and, in his politest manner, extending his
own glass, said: IA glass Of wine with you,
Captain Mar1yatt."
Tho Captain, pushing the decanter aaide, re-
sponded: moi 7 want no wine; hare drank
too much already."
Turning to Lewis R, Wit and = good
fellow" who .coud take too much at tlmes, Mr.
Clay said, quietly: "a glass With you, Lewis,
my son, I see you hare not taken too much

CHARITY.

To the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
61n While there is SO much suffering and
wrong everywhere, VIC should all strive to be
Good 6amaritans, md not permit it to be said Of
us that, seeing suffering brother On one side, we
carelessly passed by on the other. let how often
do We pass by the poor and the distressed, little
needing the example Of Him Who, while on
earth, abounded in blessed works Of charity and
love to all, and Who, departing, left 80 many
holy precepts for our guidance, in the Book Of
Life, besides what He has spread out before us
on the fair pagos Of Nature, written in
language that all may understand
The gentle flowers
Retired, and stooping o'er the wilderness,
Talked Of humanity, and peacc, and love.
The dewa came down unseen It eyening-ade,
And silently their bountes shed, to teach
Mankind unostentatious charity.
With arm IN arm, the forest rise on high,
And lessons give Of hrotherly regard.
How earnestly, then, should ne strive to ban
ish far from us q the evil that doth so easily be-
set us, and seek to nouriah within ourselves all
that is "good, true, and beautiful" and en-
deavor each day to grow in the direction of gem
erons enthusiasm, of quick and thoughtful
kindness, and, above all, grow in charity. And,
if We thus make it rule in life to "Do unto
others as We would that others should do unto
us, }" and to BE charitable, /" We shall find that
the practice Of these holy precepts will make us
each day more fit for the society of the blest in
Heaven, where. I trust all my readers are en-
deayoring to "lay up treasures" And, we
but perseyere, the hand Of the Omnipotent will
sustain us amid the trials and temptations Of
earth, and, at the Judgment Day, give us place
in the resurrection OF the just.
The only charity that aha1l avail us any
thing in that great day is 90 that which flows
from sense OF duty and hope in God. This
is the charity that treads in secret those paths
from which I'll but the lowest OF human wretches
have fled It is that charity which no labor can
weary, no ingra.itude detach, no horror disgust;
man, and is honored by no one save God but,
like the great laws Of Nature, does His will in
silence, and looks to future and q better world
for it's reward" where there will be no oppor-
tunity OF helping the distressed for there al is
peace, and love, and joy, with the cloudless light
which emanates from the Throne Of Majesty
shining in and over all things, banihhing far be-
yond tho pearly gates all that has been the cauae
OF so much suffering and sor1oW here. x.

thor who has made the life and times OF
the Virginia of former days special
study. and whose Virginia Comedians
and descriptions Of the stately hospltali-
ty of the famous estates on the James,
are among the best if not the very best,

toric Importance Of the "reminiscences
connected with the winding and beanti-
full Shenandoah and its broad valley.

and attic stone house, with gable win
