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.

"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, tend to your business by the side of a com fortable fire."

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.

Raymond Wellford was considered, al. though a very young man, one of our most . flourishing merchants. He was a welcorm• ed guest in the so called highest circle of fashion, while many a calculating mamma regarded him as a very desirable son-imlaw ill perspective. Suddenly he was over.. whehned by pecuniary losses andecabarmia ments while the news spread so fait as gos sip tongues could report it. Strange to say although his elegant mansion had tp,Ati.saM rificed, there was not a debt whi unpaid—while he h..4,09n,, men, la the reviewel,ofilis conduct, were heard, io say tlj i -hti was exceedingly honest, or i ‘ tnultiterate fool. '•"1/Vhist think you of human nature, my friend t". "It is a philosophical emigma," I replied. • "So it was with me until I solved it.'." said he. 1 found it a stange compound. the largest portion of which was selfishness.-- For instance when the guilding of wealth covered my name, I was sought af ter by the very men who now turn their backs upon me. I was flattered by the wo• man who, if my name was now mentioned in their presence, would aflect a forgetful. ness of having heard it.—After dinner we'll make some calls, during which you will perceive ample illustration of what I have Accordingly after dinner we set out.— We fi;st entered the counting-room of a met chant to whom he introduced me as a friend.. I soon learned that :ny friend was not held_ in the highest estimation, from the cold form ality with which he was received ; we did, not even have the courtesy of chairs offered. ns.—Wi th a meaning smile, Raymond bade the merchant a good afternoon, and we soon found ourselves in the street. "This is illustration number one," Ray mond said, laughing. "Is it possible that you could ever have been intimately acquainted with this man ?" I asked. "That man has been reduced to the ex- . tremity of being obliged to beg his dinners. Time after time have I thus accominodated. him. I even loaned hint money to com mence business, and you see how g raciously he has etitained me and my frien d." We next paused at the door of an elegant mansion wherein Raymond had been a fre quent amid honored guest. It was the resi dence of a professional gentleman of large. fortune, who still did Raymond the justice to regard him on all occasions as his friend, and to treat him as such. his lady had professed even greater friendship for him. than herhusband,if not for borown,atleastfor her daughter's sake—so Raymond's misfor tune! had been whispered to tho world, she. no longer spoke to him as a dear, but endeav ored to persuade her husband "to rid the house of him," which provoked the calm reply. "fielsa gentleman, and Ranch it is my will that ypu should entertain him whenev er he may" honor your house with his pres ence." on this account trlppo .. se • wo were toter! % ated in the present inglanco for the gentle man was not nt home. 1 4 110.1ady received us rather, Coolly, which I *as prepareCto: expect.
