Character of Washington.

l think [ know General Wash
ipgton intimately and thorough.
ly: and were l called on to de.
lineate his character it should
be in terms like these
His mind was great and pow
erful, without being of the very
first order; his penetration
strong, though not so acute as
that of a Newton, Bacon or
Locke, aud as far as he saw, no
judgment was ever sounder. 1t
was slow in operation, being
little aided by invention or i'm
agination. but sure in conclu
sion Hence the common re.
mark of his officers, of the ad-
vantage he derived from coun.
ellis of war, where, hearing all
suggestions, ne selected the
best; and certainly no general
ever planned his battles more
judiciously. But if deranged
during the course of action, if
any member of his plan was
dislocated by sudden circum-
stance. he was slow in readiust-
meme. The consequence was,
that he often failed in the field.
and rarely against an enemy in
station, as at Boston and York.
He was incapable of fear, meet
ing personal dangers with the
calmeSt unconcern. Perhaps
the strongest feature in his
character was prudence never
acting until circumstance, every
consideration was maturely
weighed: refraining, if he saw a
doubt; but, when once decided,
going through with his purpose
whatever obstacles opposed.
His integri ty was most pure,
his justice the most intieXible I
have ever known; no motives of
interest or consanguinlty of
friendship or hatred being able
to bias his decisions. He was,
indeed, in every sense Lot the
word, a wise, a good and
great man. His temper was
naturally initable and high ton.
ed; but reflection and resolution
had obtained a firm and habltu,
al ascendency over it. If ever
however, it broke its bonds, he
was most tremendous in his
wrath. In his expenses lie was
honorable, but exact; liberal in
his contributions to whatever
promised utility; but frowning
and unyielding on all visionary
projects end air unworthy calls
on his charity. His heart was
not warm in its affections, but
he exactly calculated every
mans value and gave him sol
id esteem proportional to it,
His person, you know, was hne;
his stature exactly what one
would wish; his department
easy, erect and noble; the best
horseman of his age, and the
most graceful figure that could
be run on horse back. Although
in the circles of his friends,
where he might be unreserved
with salty, he took free share
in conversation, his colloguial
talents were not above mediocre
ty, possessing neither copious-
ness of IDEAS nor fluency of
words. In public when called
on for Il sudden opinion, he was
unready, short and emharrasS-
ed. Yet he wrote readily, rath-
er diffusety, in an easy and
correct style. This he had &C.

and Theresa fell back upon her

went on to explain that she had
gone to town early that morn
ing and had been rushed with
/ business up to within fifteen
minutes of train-time, and had
not minute for luncheon. She
said that, il she did not take
little food then. she would be
obliged to spend the afternoon
in nursing bad headache. Her
friend smilingly refused to help
herself from the protfered bag,
and said, How delightfully."-

Adversely is often a blessing
in disguise.
If men were like clocks they

The more checks a spend.

Before marriage men and

The antiquarian has no use
for thing until time has rem

A woman says there is no
pleasure in suffering if it must

A man must have conscience
