ed anillow spirited, he retired thither, and
amid the soothing influence of its quiet and
peacelld shades, ho forgot the heartlessness
of the world, and all the 'wrongs of men.—
When thityys went ill with him, lie found ai
rs
ways a solace in the sun shine of atrection,
that in the domestic circle beamed on Win,
and chased every cloud from his brow.--
However'others treated him there was al;
Ways kindness, confidence and esteem. If
others deceived-him, and hypocrisy with its
shameless !lice smiled on hita to delude and
injure him, there was all
sincerety of the heart, which makes amends
for stitibriief, and wins the troubled spirit
from misanthropy.
Nothing so directly tends to make a wife
a good housekeeper, a good•domestic econo
mist, as that kindness on the part of the
husband which speaks lint language of ap
probation, and that careful anti well direct
ed industry which thrives and gives strong
promise that her care and prudence will
have a profitable issue. And Mary Hemp
hill had this token and this assurance.
Ilarry devoted himself- to business with
steady purpose and-untiring zeal ; He ob
tained credit by his plain and-honest r dealing;
custom by his faithtid punctuality and eon
staid care; f'riends by his obliging deport
ment and accommodating disposition. l le

man in the village. None were ever de
ceived who trusted to his work. He always
drove his business it little bet Ore hand, Ile:,
he said, things go badly when the cart gets
bef)re the horse.
I noticed once a little incident which il
lustrated his. character. A thrifty old thr
iller was accosted in the road, at the end or
the village, by a youngster who was utak eig
a ,6.eat dash in business, and Who wanted to
lo an a few lun4frod dollars. The wily old
man was riertet'itly i{ , norant. where it could
ho bad, and sided otlfruni biro as fast as he
could.

t'idd hiw he had a sum of iniAtey to loan,
and he NVlShed lie would take it; the pay

suit him. Indeed, replied Barry, you have

Th, (*mink' ex penditures ivero carefully

THE MOTHER OF WASHINGTON.
It appears from - a correspondence which
follows, that- the retuains-of-Ilm 2 .14-mtl-
WAsittNerrON, the.lllother of our National
Father, he in a coMmon field, used for Ag
riciatural purposes, exposed to, the rmlo and
thoughtless prolanations of man and beast,
without a . stone, or even a monad, to indi
cate the spot which ought to he regarded
as consecrated ground!
It is now proposed to depnit theso re
mains in a vault of a new i pchu rc h b u ildi ng
at Fredericksburgh, Va? . A correspondent
of the New - York Commercial Advertiser
says:—
"It is a fact, of which perhaps you are
not ignorant„that the remains of this
ther of George 'Washington lie in a field,
in our immediate vicinity, without even a
stone to designate the spot. Tradition is
already our guide to her grave; and_ as the
field is used for agricultural purposes, the
pericAl cannot lie air distafet when that will
hemline too vague to he out it led to confi
dence. Such already is the titte of the ashes
of his father. His cotemporaries have pass:
ed away, and none remain who coin point .
out his burial place. But the mother of
Gen. Washington was his "guide, pintos°,
plter, and friend;" and if the present oppor
tunity he lost, succeeding ;iges must foriver
deplore the ingratitude which consigned to
oblivion without one redcen:ing etiiirt, the
mnains of her who gave to her country "an
hero without ambition, a patriot without
reproach."
It is further contemplated to erect a
monument coil - liner - nor:Ili ye of the virtues

POLITMESS—Vue politeness i s coin
mon to delicate souls' of' all nations, and it is
not peculiar to anywne pcopl". External
civility is but the form established in the
different countries for expressing that polite
ness of the soul. But internal politenessis
very different from that superliiial
It is evenness of soul, which excludes at the
same tiiip , einsensibility and too much
earnestness; it supposes a quickness in dls
cernilfg.what may suit the difThrent Charac
ters of men; it is a sweet condescension; by
which we adapt ourselves to each man's
taste, not to flatter his passion, but to avoid
provokina. t , him: In a word, it 'is a f;irget
ting ofourselves, in order to seek what may
-be agreeably.to others; but in so delicate a
manner, as to let them. scarcely perceive
that we are so employed. - It knows how
to contradict with respect, And to pleage
without adulation, and is equally 'reniptc
from an insipid complaisance, and. a la, fa
