' BY PRON. 0. C. BENNETT:., ,

N . 17 M . li E li-10...;,
Tho Groat "East Roota" of the Nation, in
' the President's House at Washington:
. .
have Been the baregray rocks - tylriirlfhich
echoer-children in their glee had-played in
the summer days of sixty', yearis agone ; • but
• they that dwell-near them new,know not that
school house' er chifdren ever were' thee
-And-the stump of there;
up whose crooked baolt theie same children
had ctipthed and under the shade of whose
royal branchen they had rested. ' I have fol
lowed a deserted path that lonely to the fields
terminated abruptly in .a pile of h'alf moss
covered stones,and a toppling chitnney wreath
ed alLover_with -the vi c es of ivy, those gar
lands of eternity";,- around the hearth-stone of
this chimney, only fifty years agd, was heard
' childhot V mirth and youthful story—and I
seemed te - ITh.n. em again at play there, end,
I'hcir-ahi ill voices of-joy ringing through the
solemn soundingwoods, that autumn-tinged,
hung their bright- boughs • over the peaCeful
valley_by the ruined embankments of the mill,
since gone, that was turned by the -murmur
ing rivulet there; but their voices come not
again, and among tit* who belie their being
th6re now, their mane is almost forgotten.—
Te old places—the old places! so•pass •I hey,
and-are-remembered -its the-waters- th!ittlow
away.
On ono of i the highest elevations in a neigh
boring State stands an, old church, ivith . its
sunken galleries, dismantled_pul-pit; high
square pews, cracked ritilibp, and broken
panes. The gaiety and. fashion —the bloom
ofj_outh_andAlie tread of-venerated age have
- ffnig miceTUrsalcon its aisles 411 e-loves: and
regrets—the cares andanateties=thejokadd
the sorrows of the years wine before, are
with the sermon and tho song thril have ceas
ed 'there, to travel in'everlasting aisleshro,tigh
the vistas( of tho infinite! As I, litokad'itt
those old stone step's leading .up to the house I
of food,-I fancied,l could sea. my mother and I
6ther's there, just aST hail seen the; maidens I
on the steps of the new church yesterday. If
you have lost your mother andhappon to
visit the place where she was when it girl,
you too may have queer fancies about her
haying been like such ap One as at ,this time
you meet titers!
I remember ones to have entered alone an
old and forsaken house, and to• have seen, in ,
one corner of-the flreless.and desolate hearth.:
an "old arm chair"—much; Worn, but still its'
ancient massive make in tolerable good re
pair. How could'l but muse on the varied
scenes tiiiic`mi.ist• have bassed' around that.
old hearth, and of the hearts, young and old,
that had beat in hope or fear; iii heavenly
love or passionate sorrow in that same chair !
—hearts long gone to another sphere. The,
to me touching pathos of that place and hour,
have haunted me for twenty years—and eft
at night-fall. amid the mingled memories I
see befordine again the old arm chair in the
old house. •
I had been at. the " President's Levee",
several times. One day I called on Mr.. 8..1
chanan and found him in dressing gown and
skippers in his ,private librar4; • after con4r
versing awhile on: the Obi:Anton topics of the
day he enqiiired What. would particularly
interest you here.iii this hour; have you seen
the East flown when not occupied by the Le
vee." As he spoke we simullitneOusly_nros6
and he led the way' adding "that will inte•
rest gnu " We entered ; it was silent as death,
liken banquet-hall deserted, and it did inte
rest. 1110. llow had I stood there when all the.
pride of earthly society seemed gathered
there —hail stood so often silent and alone in
a little alcOie. nearby where I now was, and
watched the living panoramarOf splendor..ns

most, readily 'confess, papa, that I like John

"Then," - said'Mr. exultingly, "if I

• Tollty that our hero was perfectly unaffee
ted by these remarks, would be presuming too
much. . •
" I think whatever you think proper," said
John. Any arrangement agreeable to you
will be equally so to me. • I. have great re•
spect and affection for Miss Meirs, and if I
can be so far forgiven for - my presumption, I
can safely say that, to be the husband of your
daughter this moment, or at any future time,
would be to me the choicest gift heaven could
bestow."
" Very sensible remarks," said Mr. Meirs;
joyfully; "'and as youltre obliging enough
to leave the whole matter to my direction, I
shall spy a week from Friday. that being the
day on which I had first anticipated your
coming. This will give Bella ample time for
all necessary preparatiebs. and you also, to
apprise your father and such other friends in
Baltimore as you propose 'to invite."
"HI may be allowed my preference in this
I respect," answered our hero: glancing.at Deli
la for encouragement, "I would much rather
not mention it to my father and friends until
afterwards, and would thus give them an
agreeable surprise. In fact, before I saw you
this morning, I had not oven dreamed of such
sudden good fortune."
"Arid besides;" said Bella, - earnestly, "your
father might not feel much like journeying so
soon after an attack of gout, As for Me I
would a,greatsleal rather give the money Whiny
which would he spent on such an occasion to
some of the poor families who are starving in
thio city." - • ' ..••
"Nobly spoken'!" cried Mr Meirs, with ,en
thusiasm, and glancing at Bella with a world
of pride and affection. "Nobly spoken, my
daughter. With such prudency and charita
ble feelings, you will make your cousin John
a pattern wife: I heartily agree With you in
this respect, and you shelf hare it all your
own way."
.Our hero, who, in truth, independent of the
charms of her person, had looked upon Bella
as somewhat frivolous, was equally charmed
by her reinark, and had the occasion warran
ted, would have pressed a kiss of approbation
upon her lips. .
During the time which bad elapsed between
this and the day set for the marriage of his
daughter, Mr. hicks seemed overflowing with
good humor and•onjoyment. He made save.

In the meantime our bero.was living'in the

This 'morning,"about 9 o'clock, Mr. Plitt--
molt of Egypt. well known to our readers as
"Old Plia," with a retinue of forty thousand
men, ten thousand Chariots, and two yt•
thousand horses, attempted to crosath ed
Sea by an unfreq"ented path. His guides' •
suddetily .lost their way and. before they
could get on their route aLain„ the whole

-and, were drowned. There was not a Single
life preserver-in the crowd. ' " •
We have just returned from the scene of':
this unparalelled disaster; and with three a

ground; We could see nothing of o Old Pha," '
who undoubtedly got his leg entangled in a
chariot wheel, and not beiirg, tall enough to '-
keep his head out of water, miserably per-. '

that were lloating , around in the water, and.

AN EGYPTIAN SENSATION/TEN.
Three thound three • hundred and My ,
years ago tmday,the 11th of June, there was
quite an accident in Egypt.' Had there hgen
papers issued in That vicinity at that tittie,
irriz ,6 Q
what am • out lot of items could have
been pick up f r the "Morning Egyptian's"
local depart it. The accident referred to, •
took place in this wise. A lot of Israelites'
had taken it into their heads to escape from
the brick making business, and accordingly
left their .masters, the Egyptians. They
grossed the Rod Sea in a body, the' Egyp;
Sans Behind, close after them; but Pharaoh,
the leader of the Egyptians. , with ilia host,
met with a fearful catastrophe, and all were -
drowned. The pursued had the satisfaction,
therefore, of witnessing a terrible' retribu•
Lion, and feeling the satisfaction of individ
uals who were thoroughly avenged.
People do iiot , cross the .Red Sea now for
any-purpose-- 7 n railroad has been - b a ilt - aerosS••
the Isthmus of Suez, and people ride now on
:patent hollow iron 'cylinders, instead Of the ."...
old fashioned chariot wheels. Are can just
imagine the announcement made in the
"Red Sea Horning Times," rafter the, catai•
trophe of Pharaoh: It probably read thus :
