Washington County, Pa. y

Having for several years, at intervals,
investigated the question Of Port Re-
publick. and Pittsburg, Pa, being at
one time the county-seat of this county,
at the same time with Staunton, acci-
dent recently threw In my way histo-
ry Of the above-named county. Its
author Is Alfred Creigh, LII. D., born,
in that portion of Pennsylvania. He is
near relative of that distinguished
citizen of the town Of Lewisburg, the
late Thos. Creigh, of whose interesting
family, David Creigh, the memorable
victim OF Hunters cruelty, will not
have been forgotten by our people, was
q member. On Mr.. Creigh's porch, the
members of the Court of Appeals
bench, and the prominent members of
the bar, such as Summers, Chap. john
son, B. w. Leigh, and others, in the
summer evenings would assemble and
enjoy his conversation, and listen to his
inimitable reading Of Burns, Scott, and
others of his favOrite authors. A cor
respondence sprang up between DR..
Creigh and the writer, and besides this
admirably executed volume of near 500
pages, his fertile pen has illustrated the
history Of some two or three prominent
counties in Ohio, and is now engaged
on that of one or two others in Penn
sylvania. He would be willing to un-
dertake the history of this grand old
county, of which several of those in
west Pennsylvania, including WASH
ingtOn, constituted very small part.
Augusta then embraced all the territory
from the top of the Blue Ridge to the
head Of the Mississippi. Mr.. Editor, I
have no doubt I utter the universal
wish, when I say the undertaken of this
grand work should be q man of clean
hands and pure heart, and. like C@sar's
wife, dbove suspicion. TX

WEsLEY's TACT.-The following ana.
ecdote of the founder of Methodism has,
we believe, never been published. Il
reaches US from a trustworthy source,
and it illustrates in a remarkable man.
ner the mingled tact and piety OF that
eminent man - ....
Although Wesley, like the Apostles,
found that his preaching did not greatly
affect the mighty or the noble, still he
numbered some families of good position
among his followers. 1t was at the house
of one of these that the incident here re-
corded took place. Wesley had been
preaching; and q daughter Of neigh
boring gentleman, girl remarkable for
her beauty, had been profoundly inn
pressed by his exhOrtations. After the
sermon Wesley was invited to this gen.
tleman's house to luncheon, and with
himself one OF his preachers was enter
tanned. This preacher, like many of the
class at that time, was man Of plain
manners, and not conscious of the re-
Methodist sat beside him at the table and
he noticed that she wore q number of
rings. During q pause in the meal the
y
hand, and raising it in the air, called
Wesley's attention to the sparkling jew
els. "What do you think of this, sir"
he said, "for Methodist's hand 2" The
girl turned crimson. For Wesley, with
his known and expressed aversion to
finery, the question was peculiarly
awkward one. But the aged evangelist
showed . tact which Chesterfield might
have envied. He looked up with quiet,
benevolent smile, and simply said, The
hand is very beautiful" The blushing
beauty had expected something far die
such felicity in n compliment. She had
the good sense to say nothing; but when,
a few hours later, she again appeared in
Wesley's presence, the beautiful hand
was stripped of every ornament except
those which nature had given.-Lon-
don Society.

ODE TO POEsY.

BY 3. v.
o, Poesy, thou sweet enchanting maid,
That cen didst.leave thy bright and winsome
dell,
And to my humble hut of poverty
Dfdst come to dwell! -
Thou fair transformer that unto mine eyes
Doth make all things seem beautiful and fair,
That turn'st the homeliest forms to quaintest
grace,
And makest the lowliest objects rich and rare,
Thou sweetest nurse OF all the passions purei
Harmonious spirit Of Druidic birth;
Fairest when mid the mountains widest
crags,
Thy soul dissolves itself with earth.
o, healer Of deep heart-wounds oft incurred,
o breath. soft borne from Lethe's lotus stream;
Balm when all else doth fail to soothe,
Luring us through forgetfulness to dream,
O fairest flower OF all the floral tribe;
o sweetest strain of music's tender chords!
Loftiest theme that strikes the human mind,
o Obrightest picture penciled into words.
All that is mine is thine, and am thine.

A BLOSSOM LEGEND,

A BLOSSOM LEGEND.
Sit here beside me- darling, in this pleasant
''children's hour"
While I tell q sweet old legend Of lovely lit
tie flower;
A flower that hides its bashful face in widest
lowliest spot,
And shuns the kisses of the sun-the fair For
get-me-not.
IT'S said that in the Eden land the blossoms
and the birds
Had each q language Of their own, and spoke
in quaintest words;
And Eve. her waiting mother-heart on gra-
cious cares intent,
Walked lovingly among them, and named
them as she went.
Beside shaded river little flower she found,
Lifting its shrinking. blue eyed face up from
the mossy ground; NJ
She kissed and called 1t "Bloom II Heaven -
it answered to her call
And OF Eden's wealth of sweet things she loved
it best Of all.
Alas one day poor sin-bowed Eve. with sor-
row-streaming eyes.
Went sadly down her garden walks-banished
1AIaOl6o!
The roses blushed and turned asdde-when,
hark, in accents sweet.
"Forget- me not" was family breathed in
whispers at her feet.
Twas her little "Bloom of Heaven that spoke;
she caught the tiny spray
And pressed it to her breaking heart to soothe
its pain away;
'Forget-me-not,' art thou, my flower! fol
thou alone, OF all
That have loved, remember me. nor scorn me
for my fall"
| The steadfast blossom lived for her-it gave her
all its bloom
1t whispered comfort when she dled-it grew
upon her tomb;
But when the sad distress ul days Of crime and
shame were come,
The pretty blossom bowed her head, dismaye ed
and hurt, and dumn!
For long, long years her voice was hushed
when, one midsummer day,
Upon the hills of Galilee child went forth tc
play;
The waiting blossom heard His step-she cried
aloud in bliss
AS she felt the loving pressure of the little
Ch1ist-child's kiss!
And the legend tells us, darling. that the child
| whose tender heart
Loves all OF earth's sweet mysteries and claims
in each part,
May on the bright midsummer night, the
| Queen Nieht of the year,
Hear all the pretty blossoms tell what have
told you here.

Sometime when the light Is fading
From the glorious sunset sky.
Will you think, my friend. my lover,
OF the happy days gene by?
Days when we we're friends together,
And the world seemed bright and fair,
When we had no grief nor sorrow.
And no thought of future care?
remember well an evening
In the days of long ago.
When the sky was bright and radiant,
With beahteous sunset glow,
On the old porch steps we waited
I remember what you said
While the shadows fell around us,
And the stars came out o'erhead.
Som etime, in some other sunset,
Will you think of me as then,
Till the time shall come, II ever,
When we'll sometime meet again
remember well one morning,
When the sunlight brightly fell
Round the little, old, brown cottage
In the isolated dell:
And the sun shone down on sorrow,
For we parted there that morn;
On the old porch steps you left me,
Lonely. heartsick, and forlorn.
Sometime, on some other morning,
When the sunlight floods the earth,
Wilt thou turn from scenes of pleasure,
. Scenes Of gayety and mirth,
And remember TOR an instant
How we parted on that day.
Lovers sighs, and tears and kisses.
On the morn you went away.
Loved and loving, we were parted,
By the stern decree of fate;
We must call the parting final,
Or in patience work and wait.
We are working. we are waiting,
And we hope to meet again;
Somewhere, sometime, In the future.
We shall be so happy then.
But II fate should be SO cruel.
If on earth we meet no more,
Somewhere. sometime. 1 am trusting.
We shall meet to part no more.
