Ivll..ecellan.ecii 7 - The Warning Voice of George Wash- ington. On the 17th of September, 1796, sixty-three years st , ro, George Washington published to the people of the United States his Farewell Address. That memorable document is among the richest legacies bequeathed by that great patriot to his countrymen. It was the dying autnsel of the most illustrious man that ever lived, published to contemporaneous and succeeding generations. Is the circum stances which elicited that address—the el sited character of its author—and the patri otic and profound lessons of wisdon it incul cates—the author end the document remind as of Mopes delivering his farewell charge to the children of Israel. We wish that every one, in this solemn and important crisis of our eountry's history, would take the trouble of perusing this hallowed and consecrated shad paper. since many of its passages ore so strictly sppßeatile to existing circumstan nes, that May seem almost to have emanate. from a prophet raised up by heaven to point out the shoals and Iniekaaude Ilast, sum threa ten to destroy the ship of state. The and idea which seems to have absorbed the luminous mind and palpitating heart of Washington. when ho penned his Farewell Address. was to impress upon his countrymen, then and thenceforward. the imperative eases eity of reassartsa twviot.ava 11101 PR IIOND 01 UNION. and the chief danger which would as sail and jeopard it. Ili proof of the clearness and the graphic and soulfelt eloqdnnee, with which he gave utterance to his admonitions, we quote a leading passage from that address, which read. as follows : •• The UNITS or GOVIIINYINT•IrIiieII CatiSti iutes you ONE PEOPLE is dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a nada pillar in the eli des of cur tool Independence—the support of your safety, of your prosperity, of that very liletty which you a 6 highly prise.

OR TO EN FEEBLE TIIE SACRED TIES WHICH NOW LINK. TOGETHER ITS VARIOUS I PARTS." ISt-What a beautiful picture ofChrietiani ty has been drawn by Mary flowitt. She says that, like a child, it goes wandering over the world. Fearless in its innocence, it is not abashed before Princes, nor confounded by the wisdom of synods. Before it the bloodstained warrior sheathes his sword, and plucks the laurel from his brow; the mid night murderer turns from his purpose. and, like the heart smitten disciple, goes out and weeps bitterly. It brings liberty to the cep tire, joy , to tie distressed. freedom to the fet tered, repentance and forgiveness to the sin ner, hope to the faint-hearted, and assurance to the dying. It enters the hut of the poor man, and sits down with him and his child ren: it makes the poverty-stricken contented in the midst of privations, and leaves behind an everlasting blessing. It walks through grtat cities amid all their pomp and splendor, their overweening prido and their unuttera ble misery, a purifying, ennobling, correcting and redeeming angel. It is alike the beauti ful companion of childhood, and the comfur- Ming associate of age. It ennobles the noble; gives ahidum to the wise; and adds new grace to the lovely. The patriot, the priest. the poet, and the eloquent man, all derive their sublirqe power from its influence. Somebody has said, " courage is more than cash, and an up head more than a boat of friends." I believe in that doctrine.— Show me a man ur woman with courage, en ergy, and ambition, and I will show you one who will succeed in life. With courage and energy implanted firmly within us, digester never can overwhelm, though it may for a time deter our progress. Energy levels the mountain and raises the plain • courage quails not before the greatest difficulties. If you have nut succeeded as you bad hoped, never be disheartened. The true estimate of an in dividual is not determined by accidental ur occasional achievements or failures. but by his every day conduct ; and he who makes a Arm resolution to oonqaor in life, well do it. I have strong faith that every one can be what he or she resolves to be. lllir Boots an Mid to have been invented by the Cerium They were as first made of leather, aftenrarolie l bf brass or iroo • and were proof again* both rut or ant.

A Singular Story. Alexander Dumas has lately published a singular story concerning the late Czar Nicholas, of Russia, viz : That after the dis astrous news from the Crimea of Russian de feats, the Czar resolved to die! Should be retrace his footsteps and abandon his policy, he would have to give the lie to a reign of thirty years. Should he persist io carrying on the war, he would ruin Russia. But what he could not ask for without a loos of honor, viz: peace, his successor might. Its, there fore, by pressing solicitation obtained from his physician, who had previously resisted fur two months, a dose of poison strong enough to kill him, but yet weak enough to allow him to live a few hours after having taken it. The physician left St. Petersbore on the 17th of February, having obtained / from the Emperor a declaration in writing' which made him safe at all points. On the , mciniingof the ifith,the Emperor 'wallow el the , poison, after which he lent for the Orland Duke Alexander—now Emperor—and told him all. The latter would have cried out for help, but I the Emperor prevented him by an order no, ! positive that, as a son and subject, he could ' not disobey his father and his sovereign.— Then the Emperor explained to him in detail the motives which induced him to take this heroic step. The young Priam, broken hearted, the tears streaming from his eyes. his utterance choked by sobs, listened to toe dreadful narrative on h is knees, and claspea Isis hands. exclaiming. " my father! my fa- Ither :" The Emperor would-not allow him to quit his side until be had obtained front him a solemn promise to let death take its course without attempting to stop it., But the instant the young Prince was out of the room his filial love triumphed over his fideli ty to his word, and he summoned the who!'" of the royal family, and also three physicians. The hitter arrived too late. The Emperor in a not very violent aguty, expired at twenty Iminutes past 12. at noon, on the lbth of February, 1855. At the same Instant Russia changed nut only her master, but her policy. An Umixtedional ,Nash ville Gaulle sap that on Wednesday night of last sr,ek, a trai named Lan,ater, living on Sant's Creek.

He did to. and the boy inquired who was there. hat received no answer. The knock ing and inquiry were repeated. but Mill no answer to the hoy's question. Tho lad then got down his father's double-barrel shot-gun, and coming outside the house, again asked who it was that knocked. Reeeiring no an swer, he raised the gun,.aad tired, lodging a large number of brick-clot in the holy of his father, and producing wounds which, it is supposed, will result in death. On Friday night. it was thought that the wounded man could survive but a few hours longer.

The most bigoted and unreasonable party man I ever islet with, says a St. Louis editor, was Jack DOW a prosperous and in fluential attorney. Jack was a red-hot abolitionist, and his chief pleasure seemed in making the fact as notorious as possible. His friend. and aseo elates with one consent, pronounced Jallt a bore, and his politics a nuisance, bet with a stranger the thinr was essentially different. Seized by the buttons at the moment of intro duction, Jack would astnnioh him by a rapid rehewsal of the articles of his political creed, and branch not into en interminable rhapsody on the manifest destiny of the great Nigger Party. Stich WRS Jack D-----, at the time of oar 'lv - my, and acknowledged on every vide u a 9rm and incorrontible abolitionist. One day Jack met at the house of some friend, a young lady of great personal beauty and accomplishments. AUracted by her loveliness and captivated by her intelligence, tie became assiduous in hie attentions. forgot for awhile his " principles," and without in quiring what might be ih• political prefer ences of his lady love. imprudently proposed, was accepted. and they were married. The wedding was over and all the guests had departed, the happy pair bad retired to their chamber and were snugly inacnneed in bad, when Jack in the counte of a quiet con versation with his wife. unwittingly alluded to his favorite atibject by casually speaking of himself as a Republican. " What 2" exclaimed his wife, turning sharply and soddenly towards " are you a Republican I" "Yes," replied intik, delighted with the ides of ending a patient listener to his long restrained ardor. 1 * Yes, madam. I am a Republican, attached to the principles of the ;I-ogres:lire party, a Trail lar out and outer, double-dyed and twisted in the wool." "Just double and twist yourself out of this bed. then," intrrupted his wife. "I'm a Dem ocrat, I am ; I will never sleep with a man pr.fessing the abominable doctrines you do I" Jack was speechless from absolute.smase meat. That the very wife of his bosom should prove a traitor, was horrible; she must be jesting. He remonstrated, but in vain tried rerausaion. 'twos useless ; en treaty, %was no go ; she was in earnest, and the only alternative left him, was a prompt renunciation of bib heresy, or a separate bed in another room. Jack did not hesitate. To adjure the es tablished doctrines of his party—to renounce allegiance to that which had become identi fied with hie very being. to .surrender those glori..tt principles which had grown with his growth, and strengthened with his strength, to the mere whim and caprice of a woman, was utterly ridiouhius and absurd ;and throw ing himself from the bed, be quit the apart ment. A sense of insulted dignity, and a firm conviction that he was a martyr to the right cause. strengthened by him pride. resolved him to hold out till he forced his wife into a capitulation with him.

Almost every family has a dinner, u often as once a week, of what is popularly called a " boiled dish," and which, properly cooked. is one of the best dishes in the world ; but all cooks do not know the best way to boil corned beef. The oommon method, in order to make it tender, being to put it in cold water, and lei beef and water come gradually to boil.— This certainly makes beef tender, but it also extracts the strength and juice. A better way is to wait till the water boils before putting in the beef ; it will then be equally tender ; and will retain all its strengthening and juicy properties. Many housekeepers suppose that putting meat in hot water inevitably renders it, hard and tough, and so it will, if the water is only hot; but if it boils the effect will be the rerprae. Just as putting a discolored ta ble cloth in hot water will sot the stains; but pot it in boiling water and it will take them clean out. The same rule applies to all boil ed meats. llama, after boiling four or fire hours, according to size, should be taken out, the skins taken off, and cracker or breed crunOs grated over them, and then baked in a brisk oven for one hour. A leg of mutton can be treated successfully in the saws way, only it does not require to be boiled so long. Qf course, the boiling process should be gen tle.--Mrs. J. C. Cam-.

Stir in a few minutes, and then work in all the flour. To be rolled very thin, and baked but a few minutes. Softening Hard Water.—Some twenty years ago, a well was dug twenty feet deep, on the Cottage Hill Farm, near Ravenna, Ohio. It contained eight feet of water—after being stoned—the earth about which was blue clay, and the water was very hard.— This serious defect was cured entirely, and the water softened permanently, by putting into the well 'taut four feet of gravel of the also of beans and upwards. How to Promote Fruitfulness in Bar ren Trees. Many of your renders are not aware that "heading back" fruit trees is productive of fruit; u well as similar treatment to "the running vines." of which mention is made in the Auglist Agricii/Orrial.
