Condition of Mount Vernon
A correspondent of the Ilartford Courant,
who has recently paid a visit to Mount Ver
non, given the following deacnption of 14
melancholy state of affairs it the Washing
tom I .
' A tedious drive of two boors over one
of the most execrable roads in that section
of the pia Dominion, brought us to the ' big
gate,' where we were immediately surround
ed by a troop of blacks, who offered to show
us the curiosities, and give us cuttings from
the "grape-vine planted by the great Gen'l
Massif, for the small suni of two
" Entering the grounds by what IN called
the new path, (-the original road—surveyed,
laid out and used by Washington—being
completely bloated up by the walls of the
garden, which have crumbled Into we
were sadly impressed by the 'scene of deso
lation and decay which presented itself.
•• To extreme right of what was once
a beautiful lawn, stand tho OM& of the
brick balms affil farm buildings, around
which were strewn an unsightly mass of di
lapidated carts and oh' barrels of trumpery,
which had probably been gathering there
for years. To the left of these the garden,
which in thC days of its beitity was the
pride of Mount Vernon, stretched toward
the woodland, neglected and deserted save
by those whose curiosity leads them to co
pier° the shades and paths where Washing
ton spent, a s he once said, the pleasantest
part of his life of retirement. It was sad in•
deed to look upon the beds and walks which
were kept in complete cultivation and order
by his hands, overgrown with weeds and
covered with rubbish, but such is the fact;
and even the grape vine which he planted
and watched over a ith a fatherly affection,
has been left to the tender mercies of visi
tors, who have laser so many cuttings from
It that it is now barely alive.
" Turnings. little to the left from the pub
lic road, on our way to Ahe Tomb, we found
the man buildiiig, occupied by Julia ,A.
Washington, the presendfiropnetor, and also
the house er huts used by his servants, in a
state of very good preservation ; and though
principally of wwi igl. thud standing in AS ex
posed situation, a few hundred dollars laid
ontin repairs at the present time, would,
in all probability, save tlhem forgenerations
to come.
" Passing down the road leading from the
house to the river, our attention was attract
ed by a large sign erected over a small rick
ety shanty, directly in front of the Tomb,
which WAS painted in the Egyptian epitaph
ic style, and which, after some little study
ing, we translated as follows :
LIKIIN6SB63 Or PIRSONS TAZAN
with the
TOMB •OF WASHIN &TON •
for a back ground,
for 25 cents.
And we were informed that the proprietor
of the estate receives from the proprietor of
the dagtierrean - eidahlisfurriint - the aim of
one dollar per month for the privilege of
carrying on his business in thii locality.
" There are between thirty and forty ne
groes located upon Mount Vernon, belonging
mostly to the magnanimous proprietor, who
derive'a miserable sustlnence by coltipiti , ng
a small piece of very unproductive land,
fishing, and' sponging' yisiters who *pen
to be to dull as to be taken it hy their eun
ninglrd knavery. The destructive propen.
city of these same darkios is truly wonder
ful ; fur while two or three of the small fry
were busily engaged in scraping the mortar
from between the bricks of the tomb, their

readers, as. far as their ability will alloW,to

estate passes into other hands the better it
will be both for the value of the property and

Sidney Smith on Sunday Observance
The eccentric and satyrical Sidney Bwlth,
was never charged with being "unto-righte
ous." But there are veins of deep and no
ble thoughts in his papers, which it were
well if some who, are quite ready to com
mend his wit and laxity of opinion on a few
subjects. would resort to take. Take the
following impressive utterance as to the val-
41f ilia.Saibtairtla— --
"I must suspect the virtue and suspect
the religion of that man who ,imagines he
can attain the quality or the excellence,
without submitting to the rules nod prac
tices by which the excellence and the quit

ho can be a good Christian without Sabbaths
and without prayer, and reach the end Is 1111.

stand (tie reason of the law. what _matter ?
if it is the low ? But who does not feel the
reason of the law ? Who would hesitate
one moment for an answer, if I wore to ask
Lim %Jay Sabbath wits instituted To
stop that oblivious creature
man, in his headlong pursuits of pietism.,
and of wealth , to tell him that his soul is
immortal ; that Christ came down upon
earth for his redemption ; that the heavens
above are spread out to receive him ; in

him to look into his own soul ; to atop him
when he is enjoying, anti to warn into of his
salvation ; to suspend his contracts, to ar
rest his Bcheineti, to calm his emotions, to
quell Its hatreds. to burst into his soul nab
the splendor of Got's truth 3 and while lie
is making paltry acquisitions, and panting
after foolish pleasurvs, to open to hint the
heavens, and to show bun the throne of
God and to open to him the earth, and to
show him the depth or hell, and to broach
to him temperance and rogliteoutiess, Pod

Why Should Mon Swear I
I can conceive of no renson A Li he should
but of ten reasons why he ithould not •
rt... mean. A man of high moral
tipiling wouldialmost IN soon steal a sheer
as:swear.
2. It. la vulgar. Altogether ton mean for
a decent man.
Z. it is cowardly. Implying a rear either
of not being belies ed or olmyed.
4. It is ungentlemanly A gentleman
according to Webster, is a genteel man,
well bred and relined. Such an one will no
more swear than go into the street to throw
mud with a clodhopper.
5 It is indecent. Oflensive to delicacy,
and extremely unfit for human ears.
6. It iB foolish. —Want of decency is
want Of sense."— pope_
7. rt is abusive. ' , To the mind which con
ceives the oath, to the tongue which utters
it, apd to the person at whom it Is aimed.
8. It' is venomous ; Ihuwing a man's
heart to he 6 nest of vipers, and everylirife
ha swears one of them sticks his head out
9. It is contemptible; tbrteiting the res
pect of all the wise and good.
10. It is wicked; violating the Divine
law, and provoking the displeasure of Him
who will not hold hint guiltless who bilges
his name in vain.

J3susaget
As cool ireatheris coining on and the Hies
are disappearing, it is .time' to think about
making sausages ; hensit ire present the fol
lowing methods of making them, -from a
noted cook.:
PORE SAUSAGES.- Therd are puny 'receipts
for the waking of pork sausages. Several

pound of lean pork ; add to it four or five
sage leaves finely' oboprok some WNW,

Irresol ation
Irresolution is a habit which creep upon
its victim with a -fel facility : it is not
vicious but it loads to vice, and many a fine
heart has paid the penalty of it at the scaf
fold. Trifling as it appears in the wavering
steps of the young, as they groiNolderils
form changes to that of • hideous monster,
wiuch.leads them _in dcatructiwa with their
eyes open. The idler, the spendthrift ' the
epicurean and the drunkard, are among its
victims. Perhaps In the latter, its affects
appear in the twat hideous form. lie knows
that The goblet which be is about to drain
is poison yet he swallows it. He knows,
for example of thotMands has painted it in
glaring colors, that it will deaden all his
faculties, take the strength from his lirphs
and the happiness from his 'mart, oppress
bins with foul disease, and burly , his pro
gress to a dishonored glue, yet ho dram it
under a specie of spell; like that by which
small creatures are Bald tp approach and

How beautiful and manly is that power by

a few evenings ago, to fly, what ho termed
a Spanish Kite, of very large dimensions.—
ll•ving adjusted the cord and tail, it rapid

taken the full length of the cord, which had
become entangled around l'os er's hand.—
The wind increasing he was drawn a dis

Tlnn .Ikiiv. Mr. Penrose, the curate of the
pariah, arcing the man running along at full
speed, perceived that ha Was dragged by
the kite, and followed him as fast as be could
but being unable to come up with him, he
shouted at the top of his voice, to • let go.
there was a man killed in a thunderstorm
by the lightning of a kite.' When Pou er
heard these words ho shouted with redoubl'd
vigor, but could not extricate himself. until
after the distance mentioned, he was stop

tures of western Pennsylvania, is now en
gaged in writing the life of Rev. Galitzin,
the original settler of Loretto, Cambria
County. There is material enough, and an
abundance of varied incidents, in the life of
one who renounced wealth, hereditary ti
tles, and thie comforts of a home among
Crowne4 heads, to' live and die on the
wilds.cf the Allegheny mountain in the ca
poorly of an humble priest, to make a 'most
interesting volume. There iS perhaps, no
man-living better qualtited b be Galitzin's
biographer than Mr. M'Cabe, as he was per
sanctity acquairled with the man, has a re
tentive memcfry of events which transpired
half a century ago, and has access to papers
to aid ham in oollecting facts. The biogra
pher is not a Catholic, and will,, thfore,
not produce a sectarian work, but o nes Well
will be entertaiping ,to all soots and denom
inations. and ospeAtilly those who e 4 rime
the self-denial and devotion of one who was
ominently_devotett to the service of God.

A Cheerful View of the Case
The recent suc-ess of the Opposition will
prdtse a very delusive victory if they build
tht.lt hopes for the-future upon it. We be
lieve that the powers of our political enemies
culminated at the recent election. U. is' a
very poor politician who keeps out of vie*
the great recuperative power of the Demo
cratic party, and supposed that -because it
was defeated this year it. would be next,
and that it cannot recover from present
protestation in time for the next Presiden-
tial eLeetroti It .0. 1 1 iecovor—qt is already
recovering from referses that are more ap
parenttlian,real. W heye yet tv in ct thb
first Democrat who is disheartened, at the
result of the election in this State. They all
regard it as a temporary reverse, sure to be
followed by victories that shall re-assert
the supremacy of the coneersative enetdeni
oeralic elements of the country. This spir
it is universal Not only is it inspired by
the deep consciousness that the Democratic
pottorratight, 6.t also by the evident ina
bility of the hostile fragments to agree upon
I a common policy or stand upon a common
platform,
The effete to unite all those hostile to the
Dediocratic party will inevitably consolidate
and re-unite it. The presure from without
will close up the seams, and it ield the yarty
Irro solid comp77:lll;i7T;rt these
hope o'herwise abandon their delusion iin , sl
see how hopeless are their own prospects"—
The victory of the Opposition has taught
the Democracy the necessity, of the closest
union-- and they will pt ofit by the lesson.
The apparent success of the Republicans
is delusive: They have gained nothing
since 1856. They have gained nothing in
New England because they posseesed all
befel). The great men of that section--the
ETRRIITTS, the WINTIIROPS, the CROATRII,
the LAWRZSCSS—have bet n driven into ob
scurity by men of a moaner sort and baser
metal—the Witsosit the lIANLS, and alb
111/111.INGARES—the loudmouthed bletherers
to a vicious and narrow sectionalism. We
had nothing to expect from this quarter,
where the best and purest men have been
driven in politiesl obscurity by the more
moiety and shallow demagogues, and we have
lost nothing. The Ropublieetee /sere gained'
nothing in Few York since 1856, but they
have lost, and the Democratic candid ite for
Governor polled 30,000 more votes then did
Jeers lirennsert. They have gained noth
ing in Ohio on the 'popular vote. They
have lost on the popular vote, in Fn
1856, the vote for FRIIMONT and Pitiemea
together was 28,235 more than that for Br
CIUNAN. Now, when the whole Opposition
were united, they, majority is but 2,5C0
anti would have been nothing lied the whole
Democratic vota of the State been cast for
the same candidates.
In Michigan, II isconmit. and lowa, the
Republicans have lost ground. l'enneylra
ma is the only State at hero they have gained
upon the popular vote of 1856, and thin WWI
brought about by circurn3tancea that do not
establish the growth or I: , •publican doctrinea
among the people ; but way rather the re
suit of their repudtatioh
With these popular advantages, and by
pursuing a just and prudent course
ing up, allaying disaffection, and re-uniting
the apparent reverses of this 1.11 -will be
converted into brilliant victories nest year,
against SKIVARD, and his sectional platform

licanism and ita allies In 1860
It is tinie to look to the Mitre ■qd pre
pare for it. Our enemas are already gloomy
and depressed at the trisurmountable obsta
cles in their pathway. Let Democrats work
togethercheerfully. The signs 4 the Unties
are already favorable. —Pitt/ tot 4 MI n

We feel greatly inclined to say' Amen to

We must hold back our assent to the
malediction, and dare„wager our gold pen
against the largest nugget California or Aux
trailia ever produced, that herself would be
the first to hasten to the poor wretch's sick
chamber, and with those tender ,ministries
which reveal the nature of woman, tenderly
soothe and nurse the afflicted one.
