WAsHINaTON's TEMPER.-Whlle talk
ing one day to Gen. Henry Lee my father
happened to remark that Washington had
tremendous temper, but held it under
wonderful control. Gen. Lee breakfasted
with the President and Mrs. Washington
few days afterward.
ST saw your portrait the other day-a
capital likeness" said the General, "but
Stuart says you have tremendous tenn
PERI
Upon my word,' said Mrs. Washington
coloring, 'Mr Stuart takes great deal
upon himself, to make such a remark" :
'sBut, stay, my dear lady," said Gen.
Lee, 'sHe added that the President had it
under wonderful CONTROL
With something like smile, Gen. WASH
ington remarked: ''He is right"

BIRDS CoURTING.-I have frequently
seen the robin counting, and have often
been astonished and amused at the utter
GOODNESS and Indifference of the female.
She will positively not hear word of it.
at least during certain stages of the cere-
mony, nor recognize her adorer by look or
sign. Yet he is not discouraged; he fol-
lows her from tree to tree, and from field
to field, spreading his plumage, pouring
out his dattery, offering her food, chal-
longing his rivals and doing his utmost to
gain her approval, which, no DOUBT, he
soon succeeds in doing. I have noticed
the same little comedy enacted among the
English house-sparrows, but not among
any other birds, however, 1 believe, have
this in common-they are absolutely free
from coquetry, or any airs and wiles what
ever. In most cases nature has given the
song and the plumage to the other sex, and
all the embellishing and. acting is done by
the male bird. -Scribner.

FIRST PRAYER IN CONGRESS .-The fol-
lowing is the first prayer made in the Con-
tinental Congress, in 1777, by Rev. Jacob
bucket, then Rector of Christ Church,
Philadelphia:
''Be thou present, 0 God of Wisdom, and
direct the counsels of the honorable assem-
bly,; enable them to settle all things on the
best and surest foundation, that the scenes
OF blood may be speedily closed; that order,
harmony and peace justice religion and
piety may prevail and flourish among the
people. Preserve the health of their bodies
and the vlgor of their minds; shower down
on them, and the millions they represent,
such temporal blessings as thou seest expe-
dent for them in this world, and crown
them with everlasting glory in the world
to come. All this we ask in the name, and
through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy
Son and our SAVIOUR. Amen.''
