I saw the outriders gallop on in ao - part. of the charlo and hold some parley vancc with mv employer, who occupied the en tire road with his loaded cart the roads at the time being so narrow that two teams could not pass unless one yielded to the other. I porceived that my employer yielded none of his right to the road, aud that the chariot was detaiucd by the cart until they reached a " turn out," when the cortege passed by. I soon overtook my employer and inquired who the distin guished personage was who Lad just passed us, and was informed that it was George WasLington! I obtained permission to run on and see if I could not catch anoth er glimpse of the great chieftain, whose deeds during the war had so filled my wan dering fancy. As there was no bridge across the Con necticut at that time, I hoped that the ferry boat might be on the opposite side, and that I might reach the beach before it arrived. In this I was not disappointed. I found General Washiugfon standing upon the shore of the river, dressed in a snuff colored surtout, with a long lapcled vest of the same color and material, and in " small clothes," and the most majestic and dignified man Le was I ever saw. WLiLt I was gazing upon Lim, one of Lis postilions drove up, and dismounting and uncovering Lis Lead, said in the most def erential manner, and with an expression of injured dignity: "Your Excellency, as we were driving along, a little way back, we overtook a man with a loaded cart, who occupied the tLe entire road. I asked Lim to stop Lis team tLat we migLt pass by. He declined. I then told Lim that Presi dent WasLington was in tbe chariot. He again refused, aud said that he wcul 1 not stop, that be he had as good a right t ) the road as George Washington had." The simple reply of Washington to this was, " And so Le Lad." TLe postilion, after a moment's look of wonder and astonisLment at the condescension of tLe President of the United States, quietly put on Lis Lat and again mounted Lis horse. I watched the cortege till it was out of sight, but my impression and memory of WasLington arc as vivid and distinct this moment as if I Lad geen the great niaa only yesterday.

Still, I have some very distinct and pleasant rcmiuiscenees of the country, for I have spent much time there. I am now rusticating, and similarity of scene brings some of them quite vividly to my recollec tion. I can see plainly before me the little winding stream where, during my visits, with praiseworthy perseverance, we went to gather flower-vines forthe purpose of transplanting into our miniature gar dens, although we could never keep them in existence longer than a day or two ; the woods, where I could sit and read for hours at a time, and the pond where George Pearson, Amy Turner and myself, went boating in an cx-dough-trough of immense proportions. The said George Pearson was a clever fellow, and as good natured as his mischievous propensities would allow. He was always ready to attend us on our walking or boating ex cursions, but then if our dolls partook of the amusement, they were sure to arrive Lome drenched, from a sly upset in the pond. If Le had but little affection for our dolls, be Lad much less for our books. This made but little difference to Amy,but to me, who could think of nothing more delightful than to pore over one of Miss EdgcwortL's stories, or to enjoy the more womanly delight of reading a love tale, with nothing bnt nature near within hearing of no other sound than that of water, bird, or insect, this was a 6erions inconvenience. Invain would I seek new places to enjoy my narrative reading he was sure to find me, and always just as I was at the most tender and touching pass ages, when my whole soul seemed to be dissolving itself through my eyes. How he would laugh at my tears, and read out some of the words which I held as most sacred, in a style so ludicrous as almost to force a smile from juy anxious eounten LEWISBURG, UNION COUNTY, TENl, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1851 ance I Anxious, uecause a muw tuai, was only the beginning of troubles, for tho book was invariably transferred to his own pocket, and let mo be'ever so desirous of finishing it, and coax ever so hard for its immediate return, it would bo a week or more before I would see it again. I generally spent a part of every sum mer at the residence of Amy's father, but at one time two years passed in succession without my seeing hx. I had arrived at what I then considered the very mature age of fifteen ; Amy was a year older, a pirciinist.-inee with which at that time I . 1 T 1 4l.n l.Ta was very much disposed to quarrel. She was beautiful very beautiful her fea tures were perfectly regular, and her dark hair and eyes served to show to advantage the dazzling whiteness of her complexion. Some might Lave thought LereoMty beau tiful, for her cheeks were transparent and colorless as her brow ; but this was not my opinion, for her disposition and appear ance so correctly harmonized, that I could never find the slightest fault. Fhe was always calm and placid, never very much depressed or highly elated. She may have Lad wrong thoiajliU, but, as she never acted from impulse, it seemed almost au impossibility for her to do a wrong action. I loved her very much, yet still I could not help an occasional feeling of restraint in her presence, for she was so good that I was constantly and silently reproved the latter, by the way, being tho very worst kind of reproof for displaying Kiutir n-r.tnir iWlimr nf wlii.-li slin was iitiVL-r guilty. Sometimes I thought she was too good, but this was most probably owing to the difficulty I found in endeavoring to equal Ler in amiability. However, there was one qualification in which I excelled my friend it was that of volubility, and now after so long an absence, I was so glad to see Ler, and had so many things stored up in my memory to tell her about, that at first I thought I should never tire of it. Still, one can not talk ou for ever, with out stopping, let thoiu be ever so fond of the amusement, particularly if the listener does not afford an occasional relief, by throwing in a few words ; and by the time tea was over I felt rather disposed to change places with Amy, and listen to her quiet words. Accordingly I questioned her upon every subject connocted with tho neighborhood from the Luge paper mul berry at the end of the lane, to the rabbit hole down in the hollow, at the farther end of the woods. iVaught was forgotten ' f U V V Jl li Veal .TV IA OUUUwV n UCU V V . .

If so, you will understand exactly Low it was t'aat during tLe greater part of tLose two years George Pearson Lad stood out in my imagination as all that was perfectly lovely aud excel- lent I Lave been charged with dealing only in superlatives perhaps this is not strictly true in all cases, but it most cer tainly was with respect to George. He was most in every thing that was good, and least in all that was bad. I had for gotten the wicked treatment of my dolls and books, and remembered only Low kind and obedient Le was to Lis motLcr, and for Low many of our pleasures we were indebted to Lira. Oh, wLat a number of ornamental articles of dress did my trunk contain, over which I had silently cx- pressed the wonder, whether George would think it becoming to me ! and oh, how many pieces of new music that I thought Le might like, and accordingly, Lad prac- tised patiently for hours at a time, a per- formaucc which I found it exceedingly difficult to accomplish, had found their way accidentally among my baggage ! Now you, at least, my lady readers, will know perfectly well why I could not trust my tongue to ask for him, although I wonld have given anything if Amy Lad only spoken of him of Ler own accord. She did not mention his name, and for a long time I hoped that he would make Lis ap pearance but lie did not. I sat at the front window gazing intently up the lane, until the nearest objects became indistinct from the growing darkness. It was evi dently getting very late. In my mind, I exclaimed a hundred times, with extreme earnestness, like the lady in the song, "Why don't ho come ?" yet he did not come. The great clock in the hall struck ten, and notwithstanding my anxiety, I grew sleepy. As we were preparing to re tire, with a voice low and tremulous, I ventured to ask Amy if George Pearson visited her as much as ever. I felt very uneasy at having allowed the charmed name to pass my lips and was conscious that my checks were vicing the peony in hue. "Why Marie," she replied, "did you not know that he Lad gone to college 1" "College !" I repeated, in surprise. . . . -inn i -in r i in 1 1 iTOTiir-mr-rr "Yes," she answered; "he has been gone one year, and expects to remain two more." Here, then, was a mystery difficult to solve. Memory, which had before been dim and indistinct upon some subjects, now brought suddenly and with vividness to my recollection Lis extreme dislike to books and study, and tbe question occur red to me, "what was he to do at college?" As memory resumed Ler whole powers, I began to wonder whether Amy had sym pathized with me in bestowing upon him all the names iu tho long catalogue of vir tues, and I looked earnestly at Ler to read, if possible, Ler countenance. But there she stood, calmly adjusting a stray lock of her hair, which Lad fallen from beneath her night-cap,her face unmoved and placid as ever. With many sighs for the wasted time and patience bestowed upon the music which was to please him, and one deeply drawn for the dissolving iu air of the beau tiful castle I Lad built, never again to be re-erected with the same presiding genius to compose its felicity, I Bank into a pro found slumber. The four weeks of my stay in the conn try would Lave passed pleasantly enough, had it not been for the vacue feeling of disappointment and mortification I expe rienced every time George Pearson's name was mentioned. Tho music remained stowed away iu my truuk, for I felt as though I did not wish to see it, and I did to trust my imagination to invest ... J ...... , not dare ! another W nitli the mantle wlneli uaa iauen from him, for fear of again being disap pointed. Ouce more I paid Amy a visit after an absence of two years. This one was to be of longer duration than any preceding one, and I prepared myself for every possible pleasure. Gcor-ro Pearson Lad returned from college, but whether his studies there had improved Lis intellectuality, I could not ascertain ; most certainly, however, Lis fondness for amusement was in no-wise diminisLed, and the old dough-trough was changed for a neatly made sail boat, pain ted green. "Come, girls, get ready for a sail down the creek," he called out one warm after noon, as Amy and myself were vainly en deavoring to cool ourselves under the shade of an immense willow, whose bend ing branches reached tLe ground, thus forming a natural arbor. "That would be quite delightful," I exclaimed ; "how could you find out ex actly what we both wished V "Would it be safe to go with those om inous clouds in the north west ?" replied Amy. "I always insure the lives of those I take with me," he answered, gaily. Amy still hesitated, and he leaned over the chair on which she was setting, and in a low tone said a few words, which seemed to dissipate Ler fears, for sLo rose Lastily and went into tLe Louse to prepare for tLe sail. "Ah, Amy !" I said, as she was tying on Ler bonnet, "George Pearson, by Lis selection, Las given evidence 01 taste. 'I do not understand you," slie replied, slightly coloring ; "am I to congratulate you on being his choice V "Come, come, no wilful misunderstand ing," I answered ; "it would require but little penetration to dive into the mystery of Lis attacliment to you." lTLen I can tell you, Marie," she said, in a tone more nearly approaching to anger than any thing I had ever heard from her, "he may prepare himself for a disappointment ; for if Le should propose, I will let Lim know tLat I consider it a ' piece of very great impertinence." "Ah, well," 1 replica, laugmng, -we 11 see ; however, Amy, uear, us ocsi noi 10 act too precipitately upon sucu an occasion, as it would be extremely disagreeable if you should find cause to regret your refu sal of him, particularly if lie should not ask a second time : but I think wo have kept Lim long enough in waiting, and Le will grow iuipaticHt,wLich would be rather unpleasant iu such warm weather." You are mistaken, dear reader, if you think the knowledge of George Pearon's attachment to my friend troubled me greatly. That it did slightly, I acknowl edge, but from a different reason, perhaps, to what you may imagine. On awakening from my day dreams two years before, without at all consulting his inclinations, I had mado up my mind that his disposi tion would not suit me, and my ideal was then formed in a very difficult and superior mould. The idol of my imagination stood at a height to which I felt he could never attain. But hero lay my mortifieation,and from this point I reasoned that, if he, who stood so far below my staudard of perfec tion, failed to find any attraction in me, how could I ever expect to find one, ans wering to the ideal I had formed, wLo would do so ? This was rather humiliating was it not? But, to go on with our water excursion; for a while all went on delightfully we kept in the shady part of the creek, moved slowly along by the lazy wind, scarcely heeding the direction; I, at least, did not, for as we were starting, I Lad secured tLat most interesting of modern tales, "Home, or tLe Iron Kule," expecting, as usual,-1 should be left to amuse myself in the best way I could ; and I was so deeply en gaged with my book, as to be entirely rc eardless of all else, excepting the pleasant sensations caused by the gentle motion of the bat. At last George proposed that we should sail out into the river, and we did not ob ject to employing a larger field for our enjoyment Ve had gone far out in the i l oe.,m Un Biiildnnlv. we were Ltrrer stream, wLcn, suddenly, we were startled by tLe rumbling noise of thunder immediately after, a flash of lightning i.ii .i. f h ctnmi. George laughed at our fears, but,I thought, with less hilarity titan usual. He turned tLe boat and directed it towards the creek, j into wLicL, after no little trouble, we j t rrained access. TLe storm increased, and ,reased and fc.. ...... , there seemed to be no way of escaping danger. IS'o house was near j nothing, apparently, but interminable woods, on both sides of the creek. It grew tlarker, and the deepening gloom strengthened our t. r.oe tdoil tneii m us. tor assu- ranees of safety, but in vain. We urged an immcdiete landing, and Le agreed to comply with our request : but, as Le was nnili'iivnrino- to accomplish his purpose, a sudden gust of wind upset the boat Hap- ! ,.:i t, t ,.11 ..ir.no- fi.lt t . nones- . a .sitvof tiprtiDiT mvself for mv own safety, l-t.nuino- nsT .li.l. that all GeorL'e'stho'tsi f.u : ,.,..,!;r,l were with my companion. Accoruingiy, in anticipation of the result, I Lad caught firm hold of the branch of a tree, which extended over the creek, not far above my Lead, where, for a time, I remained sus pended, watching in terror tLe form of Amy sinking into the water, and then raised to its surface, but considerably in advance of Getrge, wLo was striving to reach her. At longth Le succeeded and swam towards the shore, firmly holding his insensible burden. He landed some fifty yards below where I was suspended, and seemed so occupied with Amy as to forget me entirely. My climbing propen sities in childhood had often troubled my friends, who foretold innumerable dislo cated limbs, and even hinted at tLat last of Luman fractures, a broken neck. Had their prophetic tftxtita looked far enough into the future to see me in my present position, they might Lave been more spar ing of reproof, for with this knowledge, I succeeded in gaining the main body of the tree, and from thence soon reached the ground. I was half inclined, in a fit of the pouts, to make the best of my way alone to the house which I perceived not very far distant, through an opening in the woods, but my sympathy for the inno cent cause of George's inattention urged me towards them. George was bending over her with an ' earnest expression of countenance. I had nearly approached unnoticed, when a few words, which I overheard, told me that Amy had revived, while at the same time I felt the keen mortification of being not irnntfd. With this feelins I moved off in the direction of the house I had seen, but being rather indisposed to enter alone, waited their approach at a little distance from the habitation. TLcy moved slowly along, for Amy seemed weak, and leaned Leavily upon Ler companion's arm for support. On seeing mc,Gcorge exclaimed, "WLy Marie, where have you been all tbis time ? I Lad almost forgotten you." I was about to change the almost into entirely, but I merely smiled in answer, and then turning to Amy, asked her Low she felt. She complained only of weakness and chilliness, consequent upon the fright aud drenching. TLe inhabitants of the house where we sought shelter, received us kindly, and supplied us with dry garments. We waited till the storm was over, and then our Lost took us Lome in tLe wagon, as we were fearful of again trusting ourselves to tLe uncertain elements. TLis arrangement did not please George exactly, as by it he must return alone in the boat, but Le could give no rcasnnaUe excuse for object ing, so Le was obliged to consent. On our way home, I laughingly asked Amy if she had followed the advice I gave her when we started. I would have re quired no more affirmative answer than the deep blush which suffused her face and neck in reply to my question, for I had never before seen her so moved. If, how ever, I had wished for anytLing more ex plicit, George's Lappy countennance, when Le came over to see Low ice, or ratLcr the, felt after all that had been undergone, would have told the successful result of Lis proposal tinder such singular circumstan ces. . During my next visit to Amy, I was happy enough to wUnes?, without the slightest feeling of uneasiness, the perfor mance of the ceremony which made her the wife of George Pearson. And, now, my dear reader, Laving ar rived at that point, which all story tellers wisely consider the last scene in the drama, my tale is ended. Excellent Epigram.
