We make the following extracts from the
Life , of George Washington, by J. T. Headley,
now puhlishing in Graham's Magazine:— -
~ It was about this time, (the spring of 1758,)
while on his way to WilliaMsburg, that Wash
ington was first made acquainted with the
young widow who was destined to become his
wife. The young Colonel, in military undress,
mounted on n splendid charier, end attended
by a single tell body-servant, both the gift of
the dying Braddock as he fled from the fatal
field, of Monelognbeta, had just crossed Wil
_lint's Ferry, over the Famiinkoy, a branch of
York river, when he was met by Mr. Chamber
lnyne, a Virginia gentleman of the old school,
who invited him to his house. Washington
.excused himself on the ground of urgent busi
ness with the Governor. But the hospitable
planter would take no denial, and at last suc
ceeded in turning the scale by' promising to
introduce him to a young and beautiful wid
ow. The Colonel finally consented to stop and
dine—nothing more. A short delay could be
made up by hard riding and pressing further
into the night. In dismounting he gave his
horse into the charge of his servant Bishop,
with explicit instructions to have him.at the
the door at a certain hour. Giving his arm to
his guest, the' hospitable planter entered the
house and introduced him to.bis family. The
young Virginia Colonel immediately dreW all
eyOs upon him, for a fine and commanding fig
heightened. rather and lessened the romance
that gathered around his chivalrous and ad
venturous life. The young widow was hand
some. fascinating, and possessed of a large
- fortene; and was withal the widow of a cola-
nel. Colonel Washington wits also rich, of
high family connections, and above all, pos
sessed that which e•er attracts woman, a val
innt,'heroic heart, that would beat no calmly
egad whistling bullets Ind death and carnage
ns in its peaceful slumbers. The lady was
only three menthe yiiunger than he, 'and, from
the first could not disguise her admiration of
theyouthful hero. On the other-hand, her
"society was so agreeable to Washington, that
for the first time in his life he forgot his own
appointment. Ills servant Bishop, punctual
to his orders, had the two horses saddled and
bridled, standing at the gate at the appointed
time. contrary to all military rules, and all
former experience, his mneter did not make
'his appearance. Lingering under the, sweet
influence of the beautiful young widow, the
time slipped unconsciously away. At length,
ne the sun stooped behind the western wilder
nese, the planter stepped forward and (Meta
. red that it was contrary to the rules of 1110 es
tate to allow a guest,tolenve the house after
sundown.' Washington laughingly acknowled
ged that lie found bound to submit to such
-wholesome regulations, and was , scion forget
ful of everything but the fascinating woman
'beside him. Other dreams than those of mil
itary• glory visited his piIIOW that night, nod
other- hopes impelled 'him forward, as next
morning he continued his journey to Williams
- burg. On his return he stopped again at the
"White House of his friend, and surrendered
not discretion to the blooming widow.

LIFE OF WASIIINGTON

1118 MAIIRIA(IE
CARLISLE, OA., ' WEDNESDAY, DlAi r r 31, 054.:
Mount Vernon, but repaired to Williamsburg
and took his teat as a member of the Assem
bly. Daring the sessio.n the speaker was di
rected, by n vote of the house, "to return
thanks on behalf of the colony to Colonel
Washington, for the distinguished military
service he had rendered the country." This
the eloquent speaker did in a manner to suit
himself, and poured forth a strain of eulogiutn
tit one unexpected and embarrassing. Wash
ington, taken Wholly by surprise, rose to reply,
hut could not •Atammer forth a single word.—
Out of this painful dilemma the speaker helped
him as geoerouslyns ho had helped him into
it. "Sit down, .Mr. Washington,„ said he,
"your modesty equals your valor, and that
surpasses the power of any language that I
possess." Nothing could be more elegant and
skillful than this double stroke widen at once
relieved Washington, while it enhanced the
compliment.
E=ll
, in tbb spring Washington retired to Mount
'Vernon, and devoted himself to agricultural
pursuits. Covered with honors from five
years' faithful and arduous service, united to
a noble and beautiful woman, surrounded with
affluence, and beloved by all, life at this time
spread out attractively before him, and its wa•
tors promised to bear him smoothly on to the
end of his course.
He adorned his library with the busts of
distinguished military zhieftans of former
ages, and with true Virginia hospitality, kept
open house for his friends.. He was interested.
in every improvement in agriculture—entered
largely into the cultivation of tohacoo, which
ho shipped directly. froM his estates to Eng
land. • He was very fond of hunting, 'and kept
a fine pack of hounds, not only for his own
amusement, but that of his friends. He was
a splendid rider, and Whon following the
hounds in full cry, taking the daring leap as
ho flow over•the fields,-he-was the vadmiration
of all. Two or throo titres a .week, with
horse and dogs, he was out—his nature finding
relief in the excitement and clamor of the
chase.
Duck shooting was another favorite pas
time, and he spent hours in his boat, stealing
stealthily on the covey of birds, or watching
their flight from his place of concealment.—
His love of this sport once brOught him in
collision with a bold, reckless fellow, who lived
on the opposite side of the Potomac, but often
would cross and shoot near,Nount Vernop,—
Witsbington had repeatedly forbade hi,
doing so, but without effect. In some seclu ,
ded nook or crook tho poacher would hide
away and shoot at leisure. One day the for
mer hearing a shot, sprang on his horse and
galloped towards the spot whence the sound
came, Tho marauder, seeing him approach,
ran for his skiff, and had just time to push off
from the . shore• and leap in, as Washington
galloped up. The laiierinstantly rode in and
seized the boat. The reckless fellow within,
immediately leveled his gun at Washington's
breast, swearing 'he would shoot him dead if
be did not let,him go. But the southern blood
of the excited young planter was up, and pay
ing no attontion to his throats, he drew the
despond° fiercely ashore. He then disarmed
and dragged hint out upon the bank, and gave
him a thorough cowhiding, as merely a fore
taste of what awaited hint if ha continued hia
depredations,,, The cure was effectual, and
the poacher sought other fields in which to
prosecute - . his calling. There was something
about Washingtoulii demeanor an
look when
excited, that would make a bold'm hesitate
to assail hint.

'Ove•the-story in his own language: - •
'I., had one barrel still loaded, and, -I was
„pushing my way through the tangled grass
towarde'the 'spot wliero the five elephttr4l lay.
,together, when I euddeilly.Jientd_..4Vitliaee.
shriek out. "Look out, sir! Look out!—an-elephant's coming I”
.I' turped'round in a moment; and close past
:Wallace, from the very spot where the last
,dead elephant lay, came the very essence and
incarnation of, a':" rogue" elephant in' full
charge. Isis trunk was thrown high in the
air, his ears were cocked, his tail stood high
above his heck ne stiff as a poker, and, screech ,
'ingr,exactly like the whistle of a railway en=
he rushed upon 'me 'through the high
grass with a velocity that was perfectly won
derful: Hit eyes flashed es be came on, and
he had singled me out aside ;t,ictinit.
I have often been in dangerous positions, but
I never felt so totally devoid of hope as I did
in this hist:idea: The tangled grass rendered
retreat . impossible. I had 'only one Barrel
loaded, and that was useless, tis the upraised
trunk protected his 'forehead. I felt myself
&Mined; the few 'thoughts that rash through
men's..mindain such-hopeless-positions- flew
through mine, and I resolveitto wait for him
till he , was close upoii Cm before I fired, hop
ing thatbe might lower his trunk and expose
his Yoreliend. :
rushed . alcing at the pace of rt horde at
full speed; . in a few moments, as the grabs - 11cm;
to the right ancldefi before him, he .was °luso
upon me, bTiV:ntill his trunk was raided and.l
would not fire. One second more, and at this
headlong pace lie was within ,three feet of met
damn slashed his trunk with the rapidity of a
whip -thong, and..utlth s 'shrill scream of fury
he was upon me.
I fire at that instant; but in the-twinkling
of an eye I was flying through the air like a
ball from a bat. At the moment of firing I
had jumped to the 'left, but he struck me with
his tusk in full charge upoh my right .thigh,
and hurled me eight or ten paces from him.—
That very moment ho stopped, and, turning_
round, he boat the grass about with his trunk,
and commenced a strict search for me. I
held him advancing close, to the spot whore
I lay as still as death, kniiwing thOt my het
chance lay tn emeeatment. I heard t o grass
rustling close to the spot where I lay; closer
and Closer he approached, and he at length
heat the grass with his trunk several times ex
actly above me. I held my breath, momenta
rily expecting to feel his ponderous foot upon
me. Although I had not felt the sensation of
fear while I had - stood opposed to him, I belt
like what I never wish to feel again while he
was deliberately hunting me up. Fortunately:
I had reserved my fire until the rifle had al
most touched him, for the powder and smoke
bad nearly blinded him, and had spoiled his
acute power of scent. To my joy I heard the
rustling of the grass grow fainter; again I
heard it at a still greater distance; at length
it was gone.
"SLOSHING ABOUT.''
If any body can reatlthe follawing and pre
serve his gravity his make up is siimewhat dif-,
ferent from our own. It is a story which
serves to show that oven lawyers may ocoa
sionalry ask too many questions: An affray
case was on trial in the Circuit Court of. Pike
county, in which some six or eightAmage bra- ,
kers were represented by almost as many law
yore, each 'of whom in turn, put the only 'wit
ness for the'State through the tortures of a
tedious cross examination. Nat —, a well
known Montgomery practitioner, was counsel
for a big black fellow in the crowd, -who an•

LOUIS NAPOLEON AND THE SULTAN
Tho poet history ,of the forailies of Louis
Napoleon and the Sultan of Turkey is full of:
interesting and marvelous incidents; some of
which are, probably, not it erieritlly, known to
.our readers,
These 'two tnonarolig, now so cordially uni
ted in the struggle 'to maintain the integrity
of the Ottoman Empire; are both grandsons of
Ameriaan,ladies. .These ladies were born and
raised irt,ttin same neighborhood, on the i-land
:oLlitirtinque„cipe • -of-theyest -They
were of French:origin; end companions 'end
intimate friends in childhood and ;youth.--L.
They were Josephine 'de Tascher and a Miss
.„.
The history of Josephine is generally known.
She went to France, rind was.married to M.
de Beauharnais, hy9whom she had one son;
&igen°, and a daughter, Hortense.
time after' the death of Beauharnais, Josephine
was married to Napoleon Bonaparte, and be
came Empress of France. Iles daughter, Hor
tense, Was married to Jodoph Bonupnife, then
King of Holland, and the presentEmpetur of
France is her eon by that marriage.•
Miss S. quitted the Island of Martinque
sometime ber?re her, friend. But the vessel
that was carrying her to, France was attacked
and taken by the Algerian corsairs,'and the
'crew and passengers made. prisoners. But
this Corsair ship was in turn attacked and
pillaged by Tunis pirdtes, and, Miss was
carried by, them_ to Constantinople,and -offer- .
ed for sale as a slave. Her extraordinary
beauty and accomplishments found her a pUr
chaser in the &than himself; and she soon be
came thembief lady of Seraglio and &titaness
of Turkey. MahomAnd H. was her son, and
the present Sultan, Abdul lledjid, is the sold
of Mahmoud. ,
Thus the two sovereigns who - now ocetipY,so
large a spade in the world's eye are grandsons
of two American' orecle girl's, who- were play
mates in their youth; and were as reinerkable
for their beauty and excellent dispositions, as
their varied and singular fortunes.
Both these—women, in the height of their
power, :i:,einembered all the friend's of their
youth, and provided munificiently for their
welfare. -Many of the relatives. of the Sultan
ces left , the Island of Martinique, find settled
at, Constantinople, where their deSentinnts
still reside, and onjd the favor of the Sultan.
-7 . The Sultaness died in 1811,the Empress
Josephine in 1814; and their grandsons now
rule over twe ivido and powerful empires; and
ace, entering, as friends and allies, upon one
of the most momentous and eaugainary-strug
glee in which Europe was ever involved.
DON'T TASK' THE. 101UNCt BRAIN
Dr. Robertson says the minds of children
ought to' ho little, if at all tasked, till the
brain's development is nearil completed, or
until the age of six or seven - yours. ,And will
_those years be wasted? or will the future man
be more likely to be deficient in mental power
and capability, than one who is„ differently
treated? Those yearamill not bo Wasted.—
The great book of nature is open to'the in
fant's and the child's prying investigation; and
from nnture's page may be learned more use
ful information than is contained in all the
children's books that have ever been published.
But even supposing those years to be abso.
lately lost, which is s anytiiing but the case,
>will the child eventually be a loser thereby ?
We contend, with our author, that be will not.
Task the mind during the earlier years, and
you not only expose the child to a greater risk
of a disordered brain—not only, it may be, lay
the, foundation for a morbidooxcitability of
brain; that may. one.daY and in insanity—but
you .debilitate its bodily powers, and by so
doing, to all intents and purposes, the mind
will eventually be a loser to its powers and
capabilities.

SLEEPING IN CIIIIIIOII.-A minister of the
"kirk" in good old Scotland, once discovered
his wife had fallen asleep in the midst of his
homily on the Sabbath. So, pausing in the
steady and possibly_ somewhat monotonous
flow of his oratory; ho broke forth with this
personal address sharp, and clear, but very
deliberate : '
' •
"Susan."'
Susan opened her eyes and ears in a twink
ling, as did all other dreimers in the house'
whether asleep or , awake.
"Susan, I didnit marry ye for your wealth,
sin' ye had news I And I didna marry ye for
~your beauty, that the hail congregation .can
see. And if•be hae no grace, I bee made but
a Bair bargain I" „, •
Susan's slumber's were _effeatually broken
up for that day.
