When the mind tvnndcra back
In a soarcli ior lost treasures.
Over Life' dusty track ;
1 When it looks for some token
Of a joy that had birth
Of a joy that lias perished
Like the Hotter of earth !
In the dim, misty distance,
Aj we guze through our team,
We ran see but the frngmcnta
That have gone with the year
All the llowcra have faded.
And their perfume is gone ;
In their beauty they perished,
Leaving aMies, alone !
In these moments of sadnon
E'en our future grows dark,
And we move as in midnight
Moves a compasle;s bark ;
We are blind to Uopo'a boeon,
Though it glitters on high,
For we gaze upon nothing
l!ut the clouds in the Vfcy.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
BTJOIIS P1HN1X."
George Washington was one of the most
distinguished movers in me American
Revolution.
He was born of poor, but honest parents
at Genoa, in the vear W2. Hi mother
whs called tho ufother of Washington.
He married, early in life, a single widow
lady, Mrs. Martha Custis, whom IVesscolt
describes aa the cussidest piemesi wnman
south of Mason ind Dixon's line. Ynung
Washington commenced business ns
country surveyor, and waa present in that
character at a sham light under General
Padlock, where so many guns were fired
that the whole body of miiitia were stun
ned by the explosion, and aat down to
sunner unable to Hear a word that was
Miid. This supper was afterwards alluded
to as ftraddock'a deal eat, and the simile,
"dead as Hraddoek," subsequently vtilga
r zed into "deaf as a haddock," had its
rise from that circumstance. Washington
commanded several troops during the
Revolutionary war, and distinguish!
himself by crossing the Deleware liver on
ice of very inadequate thickness, to visit
a family of Hessians of his acquaintance.
He was passionately fond of gren peas
and string beans ; and his favorite motto
was; ' lu time or peas prepare lor war.'
Washington's most intimate friend was
a French gentleman, named Marcus Dee,
who from his constant habits of risibility,
was nicknamed "laughy yet." His great
est victory was achieved at Germantcvn
where coming upon the British in the
mailt, he completely surrounded them
with a wall of cotton bales, lrom which
he opened a destructive but terrific lire,
which soon caused the enemy to capitu
late. The cotton bales being perforated
with musket balls, were much increased
in weight, and consequently in vnlua;
and the expression playfully used, " hat
i the price of cotton?" was much in
voeue after that battle. -
During the action, Washington might
have been en driving up anddorn the
I. n, exposed in a small a Concord wngnn,
drawn by a bobtail grey Iiorso. His cele
brated despatch, "Veni, vidi, vici," or, I
came and saw in a Concord wagon, ha
referenco to this circumstance.
Washington nas been called 1 he 'Fath
er of his country : (an unapt title, more
properly belonging to the late Mr. Me
Closkey, parent of the celebrated pugil
ist;) the child has grown, however, to that
extent its own father would not know it.
Oen. Walker (William Walker) is also
called the "Father of Nicaragua." and
w have no doubt, in ease of his demise,
his children, the native Nicaragua)) would
erect a suitable monument over his re
mains, with the inscription. "Go, father
and faro worse."
Washington was a member of the know
nothing order, and directed that none but
Americans should be put on guard, which
greatly annoyed tho Americans, thoir
comfort being entirely destroyed by per
petual turns of guard duty.
lie was twice eleced President of the
United States by the combined whig and
know nothing parties, tho federalists and
abolitionists voting against him ; and
served out hia time with great credit to
himself and the country drawing his
salary with A regularity and precision
worthy all commendation.
Although, for the time in which he
lived, a very distinguished man, the ig
norance or W ash in "ton is something per
fectly incredible. lie never traveled on
a steamboat ; never saw a railroad, or
A locomotive erjinc: was perfect ly igno-
rant of the principle of the magnetic
egraph; never had ft daguerreotype,
Colt's pistol, Sharpe's rifle, or used a fric
tion mutch. Ho ate his menlx with an
iron fork, never used postage stamps on
his letters, and know nothing of the ap
plication of chloroform to alleviate stiller
ing, or the use of gas for illumination.
Such a man as this ' could hardly
be elected President of the United
States in these lime, although it mtist.be
confessed, wo occasionally have a candi
date who proves not much better inform
ed about matters in general. .
Washington died from exposure on the
summit ot Mount Vernon, in the yeir 17
80, leaving behind him a name that will
endure lore ver, if posterity persist in call
ing their children alter him to the same
extent that has been fashionable. He is
mentioned in history as having been first
in peace, first in war, and hrst in the
heat ts of his countrymen ," in other words
he was No. 1 in everything, and it was
equally his intorestand his pleasure to look
out for that number, and ho took precious
gooa care to uo so. A portrait, by Utlbert
Stuart, of this grout soldier and statesman

was taken when the General was in the
act of chewing tobacco, the left cheek is
distetided out of proportion, and the like
ness rendered Verv unsatisfuctorv
Upon the whole, Oen. (ieorce Wash-
ington was a very excellent man ; though
unfamiliar with "Scott's Infnntrv,Tactics,"
lie was a tolerable otlicer; though he mar
ried a widow, he was a fond husband
and though he did not kno.v the Beeeher
family, lie was a sincere Christian.
A monument has been commenced in
the city of Washington to his memory.
