From Godey's Lady's Book.
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

,Obeying the dictates of nature whin

'men", looked - upon the Cuddy daughters .1

with you ; as ye have dealt with the dead find
with nee.' 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.' ' Then' turning to me
he said, 'GO met, my dabghter to glean in
any other field, but abide tiere fast. by my
maidens. I have charged the young men
that they shall Jiquouch thee ;When.'

Boaz was 'a kinsman hhsband, a

the young anti bnauliftil:Olow, was, hi the
eye of fite law, in her ;pltAit,; and. - she 'said

lord of 'the rich fields iii' Which She had
gleaned, and with the'lri4flet of _woman on
such occasions, saw, the lit ring of Mom i's
question.) 'All that thou , Gayest unto me I
will do.'
The introduction of to Boaz is too
beautiful, delicate, dangt4ua and sublimely
virtuous to be recited herek; Read it in the
Beek-of-Huth ; and-you , Witsee_that.Boaz.ll-.
vats Joseph in that virtueAor which _his re-`.nown has dome down fo',,us through 3,500
,years. But there was .one dark cloud im•
pending over the hopes tnd wishes of Boaz
and Ruth. The law of Israel lave Ruth lo
e neares woman o he cleceagenToth ,
Boaz was only second oUkin. 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. 'll,is true,' said he
to Ruth, 'that I arn thy near kinsman) how
beit, there is a kinerrianThearer than. I.—
Tarry tins night, and it 8141 be in the morn.
inithat- if -he. will perform unto thee the
-part-of a-kinitniart r aiefi+let_hina_do_the,kina•
man's part. But if he will not do the part of
a kinsman to thOe;:then:vtill I, as the Lord
limb.' 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,

Francis, who kept the tavern in N. York
where Washington took leave of l officers
in 1783, was the (list Steward to the Presi
dent. Francis was a rare Whig in the Rev
olutionary day, and attached no little impor
tance to his person and character born the
_circumstance of the ever memorriole parting
of „the4.lommander in chief - with his old and
endeared companions in arms having taken
place at Francis' Tavern s m New York. „c..)
The Steward was:axnan of talent-and con
siderable taste in the line of brit . pfolessien,
but was at the same tithe ambitious, fond-of
display, and - regardless of expense. 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 •

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.

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

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

through the Union, he bad,before setting off,
arrayed all .the stages for, the whole route ;
the ferries, the inns, the hour *of arriving at
aitil depaitin - g from each, were all.tiuly car;
ta'r4-and--punatuOy-did—the—white-ch,
*riot arrive at all its appointments, except
when prevented by high waters or excess
ively bad roads. , .
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. The President is
punctual, said every body, and every body
became punctual. -
