Tho eight years* con flict had ceased, and tho warriors wore now to sep* aralo forever, turning their weapons into plough shares, and their camps into work shops. Tho spectacle,'(hough a sublime and glorious one, was yet attended with sorrowfuLfeelings ; for, alual— in tho remains of that gnlla"army of patriot soldi, ers, nowabout’to disband without pay, without sup. port,'stalked poverty, want and disease—the country had not tho moans to bo grateful. Tho details of tho condition of many of tho officers and soldiers at that period, according to history and oral tradition, were melancholy in tho extreme.— Possessing nn means nor patrimonial inheritance to fall back -upon—thrown out of oven tho perilous support of tho soldier, at the commencement of win* tor, and hardly fit for any other duty than that of Ilia comp—their situation can bo as well imagined as discribod. A single instance, as a sample of (ho situation of many of tho officers, aa related of (ho conduct of Baron Slubon may not bo amiss. Wlion tho main body of tho army was disbanded at Newburgh, and (ho veteran soldiers wero bidding a parting farewell to each other, Lieut.

Now York hod been occupied by Washington on the SCth of November. A few days after ho notified the President of Congress—which body was then in session.at Annapolis,in Maryland—that as the war was now closed ho should consider it his duly to proceed thence, and surrender to that body tho com. mission which he had received from thorn more than seven years before. Tho morning of the 4th of December, 1783, was a sad and boavy ono to tho remnant of tho American army in tho city of Now York. The noon of that day was to witness tho farewell of Washington— ho was to bid adiow to bis military oomrsdoßforevor. Tho officers who bad boon with him in solemn coun sol, tho privates who had fought and bled in tho 'heavy fighp under his orders, wore now to hoar his commands no longer. Tho manly form and digni fied countenance of tho groat captain was henceforth to live only in their memories. As tho hour of noon approached, Clio wliolo garris on, at tho 'request of Washington himself, woa pul in motion, and marched down Dread street to Fran cis* tavern, Ills head quarters. Ho wished to toko leave of private soldiers alike with tho officers, and bid them all adieu.

Indeed, the bat. tto field and timo had thinned llio ranks which had entered with him intolho conflict. Washington entered the room—the hoar of sepa ration had come. As ho raised his eyes anti glanced on (ho faces of those assembled,'a (oar coursed dpwn his chock, and his voico was tremulous.as ho saluted thorn. Nor was ho alono. Men,‘albeit unused to. (ho melting mood,* stood around him, whoso uplifted hands, to cover their brows, (old that the tear, which (hey attempted to conceal bespoke, tho anguish they could not bide. After a moment's conversation, Washington called fur a glut of wlno. It wu brought liimy Turning to his officers ho thus addressed them: ‘With a head full of ,loto and gratitude I now taka ray final leave of you. >1 most devoutly wish thalyour latter days may bo as prosperous and happy as your former ones have been glorious and honora* bio.* Ho then raised the glass to liisffipei drank ond added: . " *1 cannot oomo to each of you to take ray leave, bat shall bo obliged to you If each of you will take mo by (ho hand.* . General Knox, who was nearest, burst into tears, and advanced, incapable of utterance. Washington grasped him by tho hand and embraced him. Tho officers came up successively and look an affectionate leave. No words were spoken, but all was tho ‘silent oloqenco of tears.* What woro mere words at such a econo 7 Nothing. It was the feeling of tho heart —thrilling—though unspoken. When tho last of tho officers had embraced him, Washington left tho room, followed by bis comrads, and passed through tbo lines of tho light infantry. His atop was slow and measured, his head uncovered, and the (cars (towing thick and fast, as he looked from eido to side at ttio veterans to whom ho now bado adieu forever. Shortly an event occurred more touching than all the rest, A gigan tic soldier, who had stood by his sido at Trenton, stopped forth fiom tbo ranks and extended his hand- •Farewell, my beloved general, farewell !* > Washington grasped his hand in convulsive emotion In both of his. All discipline was now at an end. Tho officers could not restrain tho men as they rush., cd forward to take Washington by tho hand, and tho sobs ond tears of tho soldiers told how-dooply engraven upon their affections was tho lovo of their commander. At length Washington reached tho bargo at White* hail, and entered it.

From tho Philadelphia Inquirer. CALMNESS-FIRMNESS—AND SELF POSSESSION, "Do calm—bo truo —bo solf-posaessod, • Ami Heaven will g|vc and guard the rest." The philosophy of keeping culm and cool is very difficult to understand and practice with success at (his season of tho year. Some individuals arc 01. ways in a heated and excited slate, and (heir suffer, ings, with tho thermomotor at 95°, must bo intolcra bio indeed. There aro others again wl% seldom permit their equanimity of temper to bo disturbed. They adapt themselves to the weather and to circum stances, and pass through life os quietly and calmly 'Us'possiblo. If they hove important and ovemordu ous business to transact, (hoy endeavor to fit them, solves far its charge, not by eagerness, impatience and' bluster, but by quiet, method, and calm dolcrmi. nation. And this, perhaps ia the (rue philosophy- Sorao persons, for aro ln a hurry. They are, moreover, always behind time. -They thus become fretful, excited and irritated—and not only lose (heir temper,* bat aro often "loft behind,” when it is important that they should boon board a steam boat ora railroad car,an omnibus or a stage. They waste moments, nay, hours in idle conversation or in (rifling pursuits, and (hen complain that they aro “so unfortunate.” They neglect business, break engagements, violate compacts, and at the same time wonder ot the want of confidence that is exhibited cowards them,, and at their loss of integrity and trade. How frequently do wo see individuals hast, oning to a steamboat landing, red with excitement, just two or three minutes after tho boat has started, and aslonlsJhed.aH.woll as indignant .that some little delay had not taken pjaco for their particular accom modation! Inquire into tho causes of (heir procras. linnlion, and they will bo found in some idle conver. salion by tho way, or sad forgetfulness of hours and facts. There is, indeed, nothing like system in tho ways of (his world. Punctuality and regularity aro adorning qualities in the character of man. An individual who is in tho habit of violating engage* monts, however trifling, is sure, sooner nr {lnter, to loso not only his friends and Ills character, but his own self respect. Tho best way to keep cool, there fore, la to bo upright, regular, systematic and self possessed. Wo should not put off till to-morrow what may bo done to-day. We should-nol 1 permit difficulties to accumulate, (hat might bo removed stop by step. AM'Should endeavor (0 exercise some de gree of mnnlincss.nnd confront trouble at (ho begin, ning. This is indeed ono of tho groat essentials, not only of success in life, ul of-comforl nnd con tentment. ,Tl‘° doctrine is, wo admit, mash easier to preach titan to practice, 'll is much easier to point out and criticise the weakness of others, than to avoid (ho manifestation of like errors under similar circum stances. Yet a word somcll/nes has a rousing and stimulating cflbct and may exorcise a salutary in fluence. Cut tho other day wo hoard of a case, in which an individual absolutely suffered temporary anguish for (ho want of a lillio more courngo. Ho bcoaino involved in monetary affairs, found it diffi cull to realize his engagements, cou'd not make his moans available within a specified lime, and instead ongoing forward to (he parlies inlorrcstod, and sta ling tho facts in a fair, frank, and manly spirit, ho hesitated, grow nervous, nnd at lost absolutely com mitted tho griovious error of leaving tho city, and with his affairs confused, entangled and unadjusted. A thousand vaguo reports woro immediately circula ted, his friends were puzzled to find his whereabouts, and when they did discover him, ho was perfectly unmanned.. -Fortunately—thera mere it»«— ly connected with him who were acquainted with tho facts, who opprcciated and prized Ills character, who were satisfied not only that his means wero ample, but that his integrity was undoubted—nnd thus (he matter was speedily and happily adjusted. And yet, such won his nervous sensibility and want of moral courage—such wore tho perplexities and panic under which ho labored—(hat ho was absolutely running away, and ho scarcely know from what. lie was confused, bewildered, and excited. Ho tost tho bal ance of his mind, so (0 speak, becimo ashamed of his errors of carelessness and prodigality, could not muster snfficlcnt moral courage to make a real expo sition of (ho facts, plunged on wildly, ns if laboring under a sort of monomania, and os already stated, shattered his credit for (ho moment, nnd narrowly escaped rum. Lot no ono suppose that this is & novel ease, or (hat ho might not falter under similar circumstances. — ll Lot him (hat standeth, toko hoed lest ho fall.” In tho majority of eases, (ho erring aro victims of circumstances. They have boon led on stop by stop, until at last inflamed, maddened and unbalanced, they have commenced some fearful, per baps fatal mistake or offence. Thoro are fow, very few, who calmly, coolly and deliberately pursue a course calculated not only to destroy themselves, but to pain tho hearts of (hoir friends and their families, Tho many whosoorr,aro (lie creatures of cxcilomcnl —excitement which overmaster* every other faculty, and renders (hem tho moro playthings and creatures of a morbid fancy, or of (ho monomania of tho hour. Tho Iruo philosophy of moral courage Is that con dition of mind which not only cniblos ono to dis criminate clearly between right and wrong, but to act calmly and firmly nt tho moat critical moment, and without regard to (ho humiliation or mortifies, that may bo inflicted. It at onco enables an indi vidual to resist temptation, to confront and overcome danger, 110 who has never boon.tested and tried by adversity or by prosperity, cannot be said fully to understand himself. Ho is nut sensible of his own weakness. Men, wo repeal, are oflon the creatures of tho hour, and of tho circumstances of ttio hour. If they givo way to excitement and panic, and thus act when not in full command of (heir own mental faculties, they will in ail probability commit some sad mistake. Self possession, therefore, at all times and under nil circumstances,tho ability to discrimi nate, and the moral courage to carry out, aro quali ties of the very highest character.

Hear him: ” It did not happen to mo to be born in a log cab in, but my elder brothers and sisters were born in a log cabin, raised among tho snow drifts of Now Hampshire, at.a period no. early that whoniho smoko roso from Us radocMmnoy,and curled over the frozen hills, them was no similar evidence of a while man's habitation between it and the settle ments on the rivers of Canada.

I lovo to dwell on tho tender recollections, tho kindred ties, tho early affections, and the narrations and incidents which mingle with all I know of this primitive family abode. I weep to think thntnono of those who inhabited it aro now among the liv ing, and if ever 1 fail in affectionate veneration for him who raised it against savage violence and do slruclion, cherished all domestic virtues beneath its roof, and through tho firo and blood of seven years revolutionary war, shrunk from no toil, no sacrifice, to servo his country, and raise his ohll dren to a better condition than his own, may my name and tho namo of my posterity bo blotted for ever from the memory of mankind.” And wo will add, that ho who is ashamed, of the poor father and mother, whoso honest labor sup ported him in childhood, ond whoso doily toil was ■taxed to givo him llier education by which ho -has been to rise to a condition above Iho ono they occupied, is unworthy to bo tho associate of wise and good men. All such will despise him ; and no matter how loftily ho may carry his head, ho is nothing in the estimation of America's irua nobleman.— Home Gazelle, Doric Honrs* There aro hours, dork hours, that mark tho history of tho brightest year.

Effects of Night Air* An error which exerts a most pernicious infltf* cnco is the belief that tho night alt is Injurious——' This opinion hinders (ho inlroduotion of ventilla tion moro (ban all other errors together. -Now* (here is not a particle of proof, nor have wo any reason whatever, to believe thstthe atmosphere of oxygen'and nitrogen undergoes change during the night. But there are certain causes in operatibfr at night which are known to exercise over ua an injurious influence. Wo will investigate them to see if closed doors, and windows wUI shut them out or stop (heir operation.' ' • / “’ T , First, it is knolvn that there is a slight increase of carbonic acid from plants daring the sight, but' this poison is generated in a much larger quantity from tho lungs of animals, and acoamulatea itfa mcnaoty more In close rooms lhan in,the'Open air. U Is therefore certain that nothing is"gained In this* respect by refusing yctillallon. The next dICTer 1 - cnco between night and day to be noticed.is, that tho son tight exercises a most important influence on plants and also on animals; but it is evident that shutting oat fresh air will not restorehlfl rays. . . , , Another fact Is. (hat all bodies, animate or fa* animate, exposed nt night to the direct rays of a' clear sky, radiate heal with great rapidity, ftnd ! their temperature is quickly nnd greatly reduced 5 : and it is well known that it is dangerous to the health of men for the temperature of their bodieri (o’ bo greatly and rapidly reduced. But persons sleep** ing in a ventilated room, oven if the windowsaro open, oro not exposed to the direct, rays of a defer sky,(nnd the law does not apply to any other coo bination of circumstances,) therefore,this frequent source of injury to persons exposed does not reach those in a sheltered house. As.to the Injury to be fonred from n cold current of air, I would observe (hat it is gross carelessness for any one to expose himself to tills danger, night or day, whether the house is ventilated or unvontiiated. 1 believe there* is not known any other cause which canbesuppo sed to produce any special injurioaseffeclathigm,- and the least reflection will show that not any one of those mentioned can hy any possibility injure a person more In a ventilated than an unventilated house. U thcreforo follows that lho objection o£ tho night air being Injurious is utterly futile. The • pure atmosphere has nothing whatcveMo* do with causing the death ol persons exposed* it? night within the tropics, nor does it produce the' cough of (ho consumptive and asthmatic, nor Ihfl* languor and misery which the sick so frequently experience. ‘1 heso and oilier sufferings experienced, mote' particularly at night ore caused by carbonic sold',- ! absence of sunlight, rapid reduction of tempera'** ture, Ihq air being saturated with moisture, &c.v nnd not by that without which wo cannot live* three minutes. It is absurd to suppose that fresh/ air supports our life and destroys oar health at one and tho samo time. Tho. same thing cannot possess tho utterly incompatible oharactep ofgood and evil—of supporting life and destroying! h.— Jlpplclon'a Mechanics' Magazine* - ... . ExriuonniNAnv Advbkture.— One of the most extraordinary ndventuroa ofa child which hoard; occurred near Pawtucket, last week. Qh Thursday, tho Ist Inst., a son of John Keenan, of that place, aged only,three end n hall years, dis appeared from his homo, nnd no tidings oonld be obtained of him by his parents. On tho following, day, bills were circulated soliciting information re specting him. It was at length ascertained that a child answering his desoripilon had boon seen in an easterly direction from tho village, and an no. livo search was immediately instituted for lho missing boy. It appears that ho was scon by sot. oral parsons, bat in ono instance only .under clr comstancos that excited suspicion that howa» lost, and in this instance tho person neglected tcy toko olinrgo of him immediately, nnd when fol lowed had disappeared in tho woods. The course of iho child was followed in part bjr iho information of thoso who had seen him, bat 1 ' mainly, wo understand, by his footprints' In* the ploughed fields and muddy places. Ho was ! at length found on Saturday evening, at half-past five o'clock, near the boundary line between oee konk and Rchoboolh, five and a half miles In a straight lino from his homo, and fifty-four and a half hours after his disappearance, and fifiy-nlno after ho alo his breakfast on the previous Thurs day morning. Ho left his homo baro-foofed and very thinly clad, having nothing on but a thin calico dross and apron, and thoso wore wot whon ho was found.-i In (his condition ho hadwandcrcdoot to (he pfaev' whoro ho was found, through ploughed fields’ and woods, and across ditches and swamps.
