The Only True Portrait of Washington
Engraved (by permission) from Stuart's on
ly original portrait in the Athene
um, 13oston.
This superb picture, Engraved under the
superintendence of Tni.ovis Sum.v. Esq.,
the eminent and highly gifted artist, is the
only correct likeness -of Washington ever
published. It has been characterised as
the greatest work -of art ever produced In
this country. As to its fidelity, we refer to
the !utters of the adopted son of Washing
ten, GEORGE WASIIINGToN PARK Cums,
who says, is a faithful representation of
the celebrated original," and to Chief Jus
tice Taney, of the Supreme Court of the
United States, who says, "As a work-of art
its excellence and beauty must strike every
one who sees it and it is no less happy in
its likeness to the Plither of his country. It
was my good Lirtune to have seen him in
the days of my boyhood, and his whole ap
pearance is vet strongly impressed on my
memory. The portrait you have issued ap
pears to me to be an exact likeness, repre
senting perfectly the expression as well as
the form and features of the face." And
says SENATOR CASS, it is a life-like
representation of the great orignal. PRESI
DENT PILL:A.IIE SayS, "OW Work appears to
MO to have been admirably executed and
eminently worthy of the patronage of the pub•
die." Says NIA.acnANT the portrait
easinter, and the pupil of Stuart. "your I riot
:•0 m . irint is tame re walkable. thou any
iothOr I have seen, for presenting the whole
imdividuidity of the oriuitial portrait, togeth
er with the noble nod dignified repose of air
And manner, which all who ever saw him
zinsidered a marked characteristic of the il
isrious man it commemorates."
For the great merits of this picture we
.ould refer every lover o/ 1 , 1 ashinglon to
Vie portrait itself, to he seen at the &ice of

A Country Wedding.
"Did:l ever tell you of a certain wedding I
once attended ? Its history runs in this
wise. On one stormy Thursday, last win
ter, as I was going to the post office, I was
accosted by a young man, nr old boy. (I
don't know which, but shall leave you to
judge.) with the irquiry—
..l say. mister, can't ye tell me, sir, where
Dominic Smile lives V'
"I suppose i am the mar. you are seeking."
The young man's countenance changed.
The expression of intense anxiety passed
away. and was succeeded by one of ludic
rous haslifulut.se.
"Well. then, you're Dominie Soule, be
ye ?—Well, I want to see you a few min
utes, if you've no objectiens."
"None at all, sir. Be so Mod as to wlt
into my study with me, whereyle...s.ari'it,t,

Once in thestudy, he asked again, You're
Dominie Soule, the rnisister, be ye 1.!
'I tun.'
'Be ye alone c,. : Sid he looking sheepish
ly at the half open bed-room door.
.We are," aid I, as I closed it. I knew
well enonglrv - hat he wanted, but was wick•

A (ter hitching and shuffling, and hemming
awhile, lie spoke out—
I come for to get you to go and
marry somebody to night.'
.indeed; and how far i 3 it ?'

I wanted he should get One else : it. For
med furiously, and I didnot feel like boflining
a cold north-raster that night. But he said
'No; the folks %vain you, and the gal wants
you, and so do I want you, and the old folks
woudn't like if we didn't have you know.'
*Well, if you must have me, I wish you
would postpone it till better weather I will
then come and marry you.'
'Oh, dear that won't do, no how for we've
postponed it once, and we wouldn't post
poned it again for nothing.
•Suppose you bring her down here ?`
'No, that woudn't do neither ; cause the
old folks wants io see us '';it married, and
von must come any way ; you sha'nt lose
The poor fallow iwaLred so hard, I con
cluded to no, and accordingly hired a horse
and cutter and about five o'clock started
on my novel iqdding mission. I found
the travellinl , ei6eetlingly hid all the way
and pet-6611aq so all'arl left the main road.
At loto ,s, li I nncliU the log house in which
the fair bride lived. Hitching my horse, I
went tome door nod knocked, when a stern
voice bade nee come in. EnterMgoehouse
I was invited to sit down With all iny,,over

, vere gointr to have a wedding there that
evening. Ile said they wen:. I then look
-1.1 round to see, if I could. where the par
ties were coining from. There was but one
door to the linos:E., and that let out into the
world. Very soon, however, I heard a
clattering up stairs, and to my astonishinect,
the bridegoom and bride mire down the
ladder. Ile back, d down lending her by
Loth hands. They were seated.
If you aro rendy•for the ceremony, you
wi'l please rise."

at mo, but sat still. Twice I repeattd it
and twice was met by the same vacant:4am
if . you want to get married, stand up,'
said 1. That they understood, and 1 pro
ceeded to make the twain one. When I
Caine to this part of the ceremony, the mat

, Du you take this woman?' &c.
tartinly, sir.'
•Do you promise.to love her above all oth

he's my husband, then without my takin'

~ IDo you promise to love hint above all

"I'll love hint jist ns long as he loves me,
