RUTII: Or the 'toward of the Daughter-M.lam As the Autumn approached the liusiTand men of Judah prepared to sow their seed.— All things were ready, and they-waited for the first rain. The month of November was fast passing away, as each morning the eyes of the inhabitants M. Bethelent-grtdah were turned to the west, hoping to descry the gathering cloud impending over the Me diterranean. Not a speck 'was , seen in the . skies, and the glorious sun continued .daily to ascend to his meridian and scorth' the dusty hills of Juddh. At length the vernal equinox arrived .dbas should Wave brought the latter rain, but it came not. The welo were dry, 'and the cisterns had no water.— The flocks fainted in the fields and the herds men returned to their masters' and sat down before them in r{row. Elitnelech, the chief of the 13etbehemites, looked upon Naomi, the wire of his youth, and beheld her womanly form yielding to the famine. He scarcely dared to cast ~ steady glance upon his two sons, Mahkik and elution, who a year ago, were two Vi_ orous sprouts shooting up in' his house, an promising to overshadow and refresh the old age of their parents, and maintain the supr macy of their family among their people.— Elimeleclt ascended southward to the height that overlooked the Dead Sea and comma ded a view of the land of Moab. He b: held its fields whitening to the harvest, an its crystal streams Sparkling in the.. sun.— And although it was the land of the Gentile, where all the people bowed down to Ch mosh, yet he resolved to go thither, that h might obtain. bread and water, and his lam' ly live. He quickly found a grave in this land of, idolatry, and Naomi was left a w' dow with her two sons blooming into ,ma heed: ,Obeying the dictates of nature whin triumph over conventional rules, the Yeeno 'men", looked - upon the Cuddy daughters .1 Moab and.lOved ,them.

What ai: exalted character' of these two young widows does the expressiet! suggest. Their Conduct towards. their hus bands had been such as to . satiSfy even their' mother Maw, and to"become the measure: et the • divine ,blasing Which she desired should be given to thew—l:he lord deal kinilly'Avith you as ye have dMili With the demrand with me' But when she comes to specify the -.blessl .ings of the Lotd which-she deems a just re ward for their fidelity and kindne'ss to their husbands and hetself, site descends into the secret fountain of the , female beau, and utters the ,precious truth Which dwells un changeably there. 'The' Lord graht that 'ye may &Id rest, each in the lipase of her husband.' Her words recalled to-these young widows the happiness of former days; and as their mother in law gave them a parting kiss, they lilted up their voices and wept, and. said— • 'We wtil return - with thee to thy people? The reply of Naomi glows with the ear living truth, that woman can find her.natural and permanent rest only in the 'house of her husband.' ' And Nimmi said—'Why will ye go with me? I have no more sons that may .iti'yout-liehiandei-land had I a husband, and should 1 also have sons, would-ye tarry for •theretill:thily . rp grew") r And when she had. uttered. these_ weird% .._ 'they lifted up limit- voices and wept again' Orpha hearkened to the advice of her moth_ er in law, gave het A-patting kiss, and retur ned to her own people in Moab. -But Ruth 'clove to Naomi: Now--commenced a stilt _ ,more earnest struggle between, these two _remarkable , women: Naomi was unwilling - that the beauty hod bloom of youth should ' be wasted in her service; and she took the -- advantage of the example of Orpha, and said—'Behold, thy sister hall) gone back unto her people and unto her gods: return thou after her.' For three thousand ,years the answer of Ruth to the dlatOst and disin terested advice of Naomi, has stood forth in the history of filial affection and duty as the in the firmament' of heaven. There - is no parallel to it'd in the records of humanity. And Ruth said,-- , Entreat mo not to leare • thee or to return from thllowlng _alter theri; for whither thou goest,.l will go; thy people shall be my people, anti thy God my God. Where thou diest will I die and there will I • be buried ; the lord do so to me, and More also, if aught but death shall part thee_auct me' To those words Naomi made no. reply ; they were unanswerable; .and silently the two widows journeyed.on toot towards Beth lehem• Judah. When the relict of Elimel ech appeared among her people, they said in amazement—'ls this Naomi 3 The sound of her name used to suggest to us her beau ty and happiness. She departed froth us with her husband and sons, and lo she, re turns, to us in sorrow, and With but one poor hand maiden.' And Naomi said—'Call me not Naomi, but Mara; for the Almighty, hash dealt very bitterly with me.' Truly a dark cloud hung over the house of Naomi, and. Ruth. But they hild given brilliant examples at the brightest of womanly virtues—fidelity to their husbands and to each other. This was remarkably.true of Ruth; and now God was about to honor her wills verzgreitt honor.— even to make her or.e of the btiitders of the house of David Naomi and Ruth arrived at Bethlehem irt, the spring, in the beginning of the bar ley harvest; and this apparently ‘small mat ter was the opening of the magnific'ent designs of Providence towards Ruth, the Moabitess widow. The custom of the country permitted poor young Women to glean in the fields, and the pressing wants of Naomi quickly prompted the excellent heart of Riith to say to her—'Let me now go to tl_ .. )Lfi3eld and glean ears of corn alter him in whose sight I shall find grace.' And. Naomi said—'Go, my daughter./ The first adventure of Ruth suggests clear ly the magnificent destiny which awaits her. Upon returning in the evening she related to Naomi the_beautiful and prophetic mei, : • dents of the day. 'lt was my hap,' she sitid 'to light on a part of the field that belonged to Boaz. And when he came out,to see the .; reapers he inquired 'whose damsel is this?'— and being in tormedi he , said , te the young men, 'Let ter glean even among the sheaves and reproach her not; and let' fall also Some some of me handfuls onpurpose for her„ and leave . them that she may .glean them 'and rebuke her' not.'

Boaz feared God as well as lovedßath; and. observe - Willi - What' dignitrantiritiikness he unfolds to her the appalling fact that another had a tight to her by law.

Ruth related to - Ntiomi the result of this interview with Botiaouhl her reply is proof 'of woman's sagacity( and judgment in matters of the ritlectiena: 'Sit still, my daughter, until thou know ho 4 -the, matter will fail; for the man will not be in rest un til he have finished the thing this day.' She spake truly, kir inan hour Boaz took measures to test the matter legally. He went - up to the gate, and oat him down there and behold the kinsman came by, Unto whom he said—'fief such-a-one, turn aside and sit down here. I thought to advertise thee, that Naomi, the widow of our brother Elimalech, spited) her.erkate. II thou wit: redeem) it, redeein'it; if not; I next of kin to thee" And he said I will re• deem it': When this k iiii r eith, Mr. 'Ho ! Such-a-one,' deidared that he would buy it, he seems not to hare known that a young and blooming widow was a necessary part of the purchase. He supposed that the - aged and neglected Naomi was the only embarrassment ; and it might have occurred- to him that he might wholly disrespect her as a wife ;land at her deathovithout children, the estate of her former hnsbarrd would come to him and_his children. Boaz immediately reveals to him the Condition of the purchase. 'What day thou buyest the field of Naomi, thou mist buy it also of Ruth the Moabite* the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritariee?' And'thri kinsman an swered—'Then I will not redeem it' The heart ol Boaz beat high 'at this an swer, and he immediately turned to the el. dere present in the gate, and said—'Ye are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimalesh's. Moreover, Ruth the • Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, have purchased to beAty Wife, and to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance' And all the people said- 4 toe are witnesses' The Lon make the woman that has come into thy, house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build. this house of Israel : and do thou worthily, and be famous 'M. Bethlehem." Behold now the, reward of fidelity in the wile, and of affectionate duty in the daugh- ter in law. The aged Naomi flourishes a gain in her old age,' and receives ante her bosom the son of, Boaz and ituthi who• are . tramaiendentlyhortured in being the ances tors of David the , king, add—Messiah -the prince of Peace, ,in whose veins, therefore, ran the blood ot-the-Jew-front-Boaz r and-ol_ the Gentile front 'Ruth.

This produced °Winne) difficulties-between the President and certainly one of the moat de- votedly attached to him of all his bousehold The expenses of he Presidential mansion ° were seared afeekly ; and upon the bill); he ittg:presented, the' President would rate his Steward suttndly upon his expensiveness,+ saying that while he wished to live confor mably to his high station, liberally and hand semely,he abhorred waste and extravagance__ and instated that his household should: be , eonducted with due regard to economy and uselulness. Francis would priamise amend ment, and the next week the scene would be le-enacted In all its parts, the Steward retiring in tears, and exclaiming, “Well, he may discharge men he may kill the, it he will; but while he is President of the United Suttee, and I have the honor to be his Stow. ard, hie establishment shall be supplied with the very best of everything that the whole country el:mallard." The story of the fish related in another part of the work, happened during Francis' Stewardship. Washington was remarkably loud of. fish..,-It was the habit for New Eng land ladies frequently to prepare the-codfish in a Very nice manner, and send it enve loped-in cloths, so as to arrive quite warm at the President's Saturday dinner, he al ways eating codfish on that day in ebmpli tnent to his New England recollections. It happened thala single shad was caught in the Delaware in 'February and brought to the Philadelphia market (Or sale. Francis penned upon it with the speed of an osprey, regardless of price, but charmed that he had secured a delicnacy that, above above all others, he knew would •be agreeable to the palate•ol his Chief. When the fish was served, Washington suspected a departure from his orders, touch ing provision to be made on his table, and i said to Francis, who stood at his post at the sideboard, "What fish is this r A shad, a • Very fine shad," was the - reply ; • (if ,knew • yourmccellency was particularly fond of this kind - offishi - and - was - so - fortunate-as-tc--pre.— cure this one in market—a solitiktyoug, and the first of the season." -"The Price, sir; the price I" continued Washington, in a stern , commanding tone; ' , the price; sir ?" “Three,,, three, three, ,dollars.",,stimm'ernd Out the conscience stricken S teward.'

With the . luckless wights who had offendedin these particulars, there was no arrest of judgment, for •judgment and execution went band in hand. The Steward, and indeed the whole house hottioreated-the chief Cook with.much re. spect, as well for his valuable services as for his general good character and pleasing manners. • , • When the Steward; in snow white aprop, silk shorts and stockings, and hair in full powder, placed the first dish on the table, the clock being on the stroke of tour, ceased "the labor of Hercules." - Tilt COACHMAN - John Fagan, by' birth a Hessian, tall and burly in person, was an accomplished coachman in every respect. He understood the jnechan ism of a carriage-, ond could take to feces - and - put - together again - all the-parts; should he meet with any accident mil the road. He drove the President the whole tour of the United, States, from Portsmouth to Sayunnah, in the white' chariot built by Clark, of Philadelphia, without the slightest accident or misfortune happening in so a 3ourney. • 'Or: the President's return Clarke was in attendance to learn the successs of what he deemed his master=piece of coanhmaking.— No had the horses stopped at the door of the Presidential Mansion than the anxious coachmaker was under the body of . the white chariot, examining every thing with a careful and crib cal eye, till Fagan shouted horn the box. "Alt right, Mr. Clarke all right, sir; not d bolt or screw started in a long journey and over the devil's own roads. The delighted mechanie now loarik his hand grasped in that of the Presiddrit, who complimented him upon his workmanship, assuring him that it had been , si.Saiciently tested in a great variety of very bad roads. Clarke, 0;e - happiest of mini, repaired to his shop, in Sixth street,•w.hero he, informed - his people-of the success of the white char. iot, the account of which he had received from the President's own lips, when .the day ended in a jollification at the coachms- . Iter's John Kruse succeededsagan. Re was a Steady, estimable man, and having been ..4ed rYhe Austrian cavalry, was porlpclly 'conversant with horses. He was an excess ive smoker, his meershaum never being out of his mouth, excepting at %gals or on the coach box. • • • The stables consisted of ten coach and sad dle horses, and the the while chargers; a coachman, arid, two grooms. Of the char. gets the one usually rode 'by the Chief was named Prescott. He was a fine parade horse, purely white, sixteen hands high.— He was indifferent to the firing of artillery, the waving of banners, and the clang of martial instruments, but had a very bad ha• bit of dancir'g about on the . approach of a carriage, a habit very annoying to his rider, who although a master in horsemanship , preferred to ride as quietly as possible, espe cially wpen, during his Saturday's rime, he would meet with carriages containing ladies it being - customary with them to order their coachman to stop and let ciOWn their grasses that the President might approach to pay his compliments. The other charger was named Jackson, from the circumstance of his having ran away with Major Jackson, aid de camp to., the President; when . corriing into Princeton * en route horn New York to Philadelphia, in' 1790, io the sad" discomfiture of the Major, and the no !nth) amusement of 'the Chiei and the brilliant - cortege of gallant cavaliers with which he was attended. Jackson was a superb animal, purely white,,with flowing main and tall. fie was of a fierce ay fiery temperament, and when, mounted 'moved with mouth open, cliamping•the bit,his nos.

Washington, disliking a fretful horse, rare ly -rode thisfine c but impetuoup animal, chile Kruse whose duty it was to eccompa ny-the-Pasider nhile on horseback, had had divers combats with the fiery charger, in several of which, it was'said, , the old Austrian dragoon, came off tether second best. When putting 'on the' housings; and: caparisiin ior the the' Chief to' ride - Jackson, Kruse 'would say, 41 /th, ha, my fine fellow you'll have your match to-day, and I know you'll take care tObehaveyearself.'?

The President was much gratified when inspecting his stables in'Phdadelphia.

PuNcrtratrry.—Washingibn was the moat punctual of - Men. To this admirable ,qualf ty, and the one equally admirable of rising at four o'clock and retiring to rest at 'nine at all seasons, this great man owed his being able to accomplish- mightyfabors during `a long and illustrious hie. Ale • was ,punctual irowerythingomdstA tivury_timpur, ataiut him.

His punctuality on that long journey. a.- tontsbed .zvery one. The trumpet call id the cavalry had scarcely' ceased its ee'does when a vidette would be seen coming in a t lull speed, and theory resound far and wide, "He's coming l' l —Scarcely would the' artil lerymen unlimber the cannon, when the'or- . der would be given 'Light ° your matches, the white chariot is in full view !" Revolutionary veterans hurried from all ditections once more to greet their beloved Chief. They called it marching to head quarters, and as the dear glorious old fellows Would ovbrtake their neighbors and friends, they would 'say, Hl:Push on, my bays, if you wish to see him; for we who ought to know can assure you that buqage,ver behind time, but always punctual to4,moment." It was thus that Washington perforMed his memorable tour of the : United Stater, everywhere received with heartfelt homage, that the love, veneratten-and gratitude of a whole people could bestow;_and there is, no doubt, yet living, a grey head who can tell' of the time when'he gallantly rode to 'some village or inn on the long-remembered route to hail.the arrival of the white chariot, and join in the joyous welvme to the father of his country. And equsily punctual in his enjoyments was this remarkable man nearer home. To the review, the theatre, or the ball-room he repaired precisely at the appointed time.-- The manager of the :theatre waited on the President to request him to command a play watt asked. "At what time, Mr. Wignell, does your curtain rise?" The manager re plied, "Seved O'cloak is the hour, but of course the curtain will not rise until your Excellency's snivel." pie President obser ved, "1 will be punctual, sn, to the time; nobody waits a single moment for me'."—: And, surd enough, precisely at seven, the noble form of Washington was seen to enter the_alitge_bes„amtd the acelamations of the audience and the music of the President's Match. - In the domestic arrangement of the Pres idential mansion, the private dinner.wati served at three o'clock, the public one at tour. The drawing room commenced at se. veil, and ended a little pest ten. The levee begun at three, and ended at four. Op the public occasions the company arrived Within a very short time of each other, and departed in the same • manner.
