Were by God, deathless made. And though the twilight fades away, Froin out a summer's sky: "Yet silvery stars with light divine; Adorn the dome on high." m Sweet, gentle, kind and loving words. Although but spoke in jest, God knowa are deeply stored within The glad receiver's breast; Like childhood's sweet and simple rhymes, Deep in the heart they lie Yes, words of kindness and of love, Are things that never die. Childhood, too, can never die. For fragment of the past. Float ever on our memory. As long as life shall last: And many happy scenes gone by, Again break on our view,. And iu the visions which they bring," We secin to livo anew. Sweet, gentle fancies never die They always leave behind. Some well beloved legacy ' r Stored deep within the mind: ' Some happy thought, or pleasant dream Which, though they may pass by, - Yet leavo an impress on the heart, " That thev cau never die.

Fight "years' con flict had ceased, and the warriors were now to separate for ever, turning their weapons into plough -shares, and their camps ' into workshops. The spectacle, though a sublime and glorious one, was yet attended with sorrowful feelings: for, alas ! in the remains of that gallant army of pa triotic soldiers now about to disband without pay, ithout support, stalked poverty and dis--ctuse. The country had not the means to be grateful. The details of the condition of many of the offi cers and soldiers of that period, according to his tory and oral tradition, were melancholy in the extreme. Possessing no means of patrimonial inheritance to fall back upon thrown out of even the perilous support of the soldier at the commencement of winter, and hardly fit for any other duty than that of the camp their situation j au better be imagined than described. A single instance, as a sample of the situation -of many of the officers, as related of ; the conduct ot Baron Steuben, may not be amiss. , When the main body of the army was disbanded at New- . burgh, and the vetcrau soldiers were bidding a j-arting farewell to each other. Lieut. Col. Coch ran, an aged soldier at the New Ilampshire line, remarked with tears in his eves as he shook 'hands with the baron : "For myself I-could siand it; but my wife : and daughters arc in the garret of that wretched tavern, and I have no means of removing them." " Come, come," said the baron, .." don't give way thus. I will fay my respects to Mrs. Coch ran and her. daughters." ; . , When the good old soldier lef them, their coun- t. narui with gratitude for he left there all he had. In one of the Rhode Island regiments were sev eral companies of black troops, who had served through the whole war, and their bravery and -discipline were unsurpassed. The baron obser ved one of these poor negroes on the wharf at Newburgh, apparently in great distress. - - What is the matter, brother soldier ?" 44 Why, Master Baron, I want a dollar to- get koays ith, now the Congress has no further use .lor me." The Baron was absent for a few moments, and hen returned with a silver dollar, which he had Arrowed. ; ; 1 . i . : "There, it's all I could get. 'Take it." The negro received it with joy, hailed a stoop ?rhtie.h was passing down the river to New York, nd as he reached the deck, took off his hat and saFd - , 44 God bless you. Master Baron t" . The are only single illustrations of the army At the 'close of the war. Indeed, Washington Lad, this view at the close of his farewell address to the army at Rocky 1 1 ill, in November, 1793. 44 And being now about to conclude these his last public orders, to take his ultimate leave in ai&iort time of the military character and to bid a final Adieu to the armies he has so long had the honor to command, he can only again oCer, ia their 'be half, his recommendations to their country, and ,his prayer to the God of armies. -44 May ample justice be done them here, and may the choicest of heaven's favors, both here and hereafter, attend those who, under djvina auspices, hare secured innumerable blessings for others. 44 With thew wishes and this benediction, th j Commandw-in-Chief i? about .to retire from ser ' vice. The curtain of separation' will soon' be i drawn, and the military scenes to him will be closed forever ' closed lorever. . . . ,, The closing of. the u military scene I am about to relate:'," .1 . , New York had been occupied by .Washington on the 25th of November. A few days after wards, he notified the President of; Congress, which body was then in session at Annapolis, in Marj'land, that as the war was now closed, he should consider it his duty to proceed thence and surrender to that body the commission which he had received from them seven years !eforc. The morning of the 5th of December, 1783, was a sad and heavy one to the remnant of the American army in the city of Xew York. . The noon of that day was to witness the farewell of Washington, he was to bid adieu to his military comrades forever. The officers ' who had been with him in solemn council, the privates who had fought and bled in the 44 heavy fight," under his orders, Were to hear his commands no longer. The manly form and dignified countenance of the 44 great captain" was henceforth to livo in their memories. ' As the hour of noon approached, the whole gar rison, at the requesj of Washington himself, was put in motion, and marched down Broad-street to Francis' tavern, his head-quarters. lie wish ed to take leave of private soldiers alike with offi cers, and bid theru all adieu. His favorite light infantry were drawn up in line facing inwards, through Pearl street, at the foot of Whitehall, where a barge was in readiness to convey him to Powell's Hook. Within the dining room of the tavern were gathered the generals and field-officers to take their farewell. Assembled there were Knox, Greene, Clinton, i Steuben, Gates and others.'who had served with him faithfully in the : 44 tented field ;" but . alas ! where were others that had entered the war with him seven years before ? Their boues crumbled iu the soil from Canada to Georgia. Montgome ry had yielded up Lis life at" Quebec, Weoster fell at Danbury, Woodhull "was barbarously mur dered while a prisoner at the battle on Long Isl and, and Mercer fell mortally wounded at Prince ton ; the brave and chivalric Laurens, aficr.elus p'aying the most heroic courage in the trenches of Yorktown, died in a trifling skirmi.,h iu South Carolina ; the brave hut eccentric Lee was no longer living, and Putnam, like a helpless child was stretched upon the bed of sickness. Indeed, the battle-field and time had thinned the ranks which entered with him on the conflict of Inde pendenco. Washington entered the room the hour of .separation had come. As he raised his eye and glanced on the feces of tho.c assembled, a tear coursed down his cheek, and his voice was trem ulous as he saluted them. Ner- was he alone. Men, 44 albeit unused to the melting mood," stood arounel him, who?c hands uplifted to cover tUcir brows, told that the tears which they jn vain at tempted to conceal, bosptkc the anguish thej' could not hide. After a moment's conversation. Washington called for a glass of wine. It was brought to him. .Turning to the officers, he thus addres sed them : , 44 With a heart full of love and gratitude. I now take my final leave of you, and I most de- j j voutly wish your latter days may be as prosper- j i ous and happy as your former ones have been j glorious and honorable. He then raided tlie glass j I to his lips, and added, ' I cannot come to each j ! of you to take my h ave, but shall be obliged to ' you if each of you will take me by the hand.',' General Knox, who stood nearest, burst into andadvanced, incapable of utterance. Wash ington grasped him by the hand, and embraced him. The officers came up., successively, aud took an allectionate leave. ,o words were spo-; ken, but all was the 44 jsilent elegance of tears." j What were mere words at such a scene ? : No thing. It was the feeling of the heart thrilling though unspoken. . .. , . ,,, When theJast officer had embraced him, Washr ington left the room, followetl by , his comradci, and passed through the line of light infantry. His steps was slow and measured, his head un- -nA tonr flowing thick and fast, as he looked from side to side at the veiciu.u . he now bade adieu forever. Shortlyan event oc curretl more touching than all the rest. A gi gantic soldier who had stood by his side at Tren ton, stepped forth from the ranks, and extended his hand. 44 Farewell, my beloveel General, Farewell." a, Washington grasped his hand, in convulsive emotion, in both of his. All discipline was now at an end. The officers could not restrain the men as they rushed forward to take Washington by the hand, and the violent sobs aud tears of the soldiers told how deeply engraved upon their affections was the love of their commander. At length Washington reached the barge at Whitehall, and entered it. At the first stroke of the oars he rose, and turning to the companions of his glory,'by waving his hat, bade them a si lent adieu. Their answer was only in tears ; and the officers and men, with glistening eyes, watch ed the receding boat till the form of their noble commander was lost sight of in the distance. .V. Y, Jour, of Com. - . , Ridiculous Claim ca the U. States, It is announced from "Washington City, as a matter of importance, , that & claim has been brought before tho Mixed Commission at London for the two millions and a half of bond;, issued by the Stte of Florida, previous to its admission in to the Union as a State. There is probably no doubt that tho English bond holders will jrcs3 their claim on the Commission, and just as little doubt that they will be disallowed. . The United State has no more to do . with them bonds than it has with th debt of any otherof tha States! ' Intemperance in tlie Cities. ' The country has been surprised at the statis tics of rum selling in New York, and j et the pro gress of the evil in that city, is but a type, of its progress in every large city in 'which a free scope is given lo the mischievous traffic ami its allure ments. If Baltimore does not present as doleful a picture,' it is because the evil has' not yet ob tained as mature a growth as it has in New York. If Philadelphia does not present as large a propor tion of drinking houses, it is because the free li liccnse system with which she is cursed, has not been in operation quite long enough to complete its natural and inevitable results. Both the lat ter cities are in a fair way to catchup to New Y'ork in this infamous and destructive business, appalling as the statistics of New York are in that reTspect. . The report of the County Treasurer, by whom the licenses are granted, shows that there are now nineteen hundred and sixty-five taverns in the city and surrounding districts of Philadel phia. These are licensed ones how many pla ces are there besides, where liquor is sold with out a license?. The license-d taverns arc in the proportion of one to every forty-one taxables ! Who would have credited it, if the fact had been asserted without the verification which the Coun ty Treasurer's report furnishes 1 Yet it is offi cial and reliable ; though it has taken the com munity by surprise, and awakened alarm at the fearful progress of thin monster vice. We will not attempt to estimate the amount of losses sus tained, expenses entailed, aud ruin engendered by this multitude of drunkard-making depots ; nor will we attempt to depict their blighting ef fect upon the health, morals, energy, and happi ness of the communities in which they are loca ted. A sorry and dismal picture indeed do they present, aud one from which the lover of his spe cies will recoil with horror. The rapidity with which intemperance has grown up in our cities, and the magnitude which it has reached, have not' been realized by sober people. While they have slumbered, the enemy has gained upon them incalculably ; the perni cious habit of drinking even to excess, has be- 1 come fashionable ; and as a fashionable habit, it is at this mennent the greatest blight that ever cursed our country for, like the canker-worm, it is eating put its very vitals. To attempt to conceal this fact is worse than idle it is crimi nal. Intemperance in the cities. ' fashionkLIe and brazen-faced as it has le;ome,iiie-rits the atten tion of our statcsmeu, no less than that of the philanthropists. Something should be done to arrest its fearful ravages no one will gainsay that, but what shall that something be '.'i Shall another apneal be made to the sympathy and in fluence of association' to the elofpucuce and force of persuasion or to the more potent weaj.on of legislative enactment ? The two former have been tried served their puq?osc for a time, but have well nigh exhausted their virtue. Theiat ler remains to be tried. It is in process of trial iu two or three of the States ; and the people of at least four of the other States among which arc New Y'ork, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, have arisen iu their might lo stay the evil by the pow er of the law avl its ministers.' We should not be surprised tohearthata prohibitory law had t been passed in either of these States. The pro- f ject will be presented and discussed in the I-egi- j laturc cf each of the three "States during the pre sent winter, and, as is now supposed,' with a fair j prospect of s-ieress. 5i-o.'s Weakly' s ' ' j I '!Dont Recognize Eer She's a Work- j ': 1 ing Girl P !

" -An ncident occurred in the liotel of one of the picturesque marine villages which skirt Lake Poncjiartrain, on a certain occasion last summer, that effectually served to dispel tlie listless cnuui too prevalent in such case. Amoug the guests there for the time being was one Michael Murphy, an eccentric, good natured soul, from what used to bc par excellence, the land of potatoes, but which may now be called the potato-less land. He hid been on a 44sprec" in the city, and went over b'h lake to dispel the fumes of his debauch and take salt baths aud soda water at the same time." AH this became known to a ventrilequi.st who paid a flying visit to tho place, and who had such command orer his vencc that he could make it do anything, from the squeaking of a pig under the gate, to the tinging of a mocking bird. Believ ing that Michael was just about that time in an impressable state, in a reformatory mood, he thought he would, through the medium of his art, endeavor to efTect a change in his morals. With this view, he booked his name for a bed in the Same ro4m with Michael, and about twelve o'clock at nkD'ht that hour when the supersti tious mind is so fraught with terror he 44 pitch ed his voice" outside tlie door, saying in a kind of trombone tone : ' : 44 Michael Murphy ! Michael Murphy ! are vou I asleep?" ; ' : ' 44 Who's tht ?" said Michael, much Startled at the sepulckral tone in which the query was put, and the time of putting it. 44 Ask me not, but answer," said the ventrilo quist, still continuing his ghost-like accent. 4 Well, what have you got to say ?" said Mi- j shael. . ' ' 1 - 44 Much of what I want you to taks notice," said the 'ventriloquist, or rather the Tentrilo-I quist's voice. , 44 Oh, clear ofT." said Michael, 44 or else I'll give you tay." 44 Better you had continued to take tea, than to break the pledge as you have done," said the voice outside the door. :' 44 What in all this noise about V said the ven triloquist, speaking from the bed. - 44 Sonic dirty blackguard that's outide the 1 door- there,1" said Michael,- 4 interfering with what's none of -his business.' ' ' . 'i Why don't you drive him from it ?" said tlie ventriloquist, speaking from the ltd. " I wish he'd dare," said the voice of th ven triloquist outside the door. ,: 4IHlet you see I dare," said Michael jump ing up, seizing his history, and hurriedly open ing the door, ready on tight to knock down an anuoycr. .' Give it to him," said the ventriloquist from the bed." ' ' - 44 1 believe it's the old boy himself as in it," said Michael, 44 for I don't sec a sowl here." 44 It's very mysterious," said the ventriloquist lrom the bed. - ' 44 I wonder," said Michael, "if there" any evil spirits in this country." .-, ' r I don't know," said 'the ventriloquist, 44 but other H be detested.

There was a numerous assemblage of persons in the little office, some wailing to be examined, some for the purpose, of investigation, and others from mere curiosity to see this singular individ ual, who couhl fatliom the mysterious depths of human character, by gently passing his digitals over their astouialied craniums. The little gen tleman proceeded : 44 Nothing could gratify me more, than to sec the science thoroughly tested." . .- . 44 Then you have not had the pleasure of atten ding any of the lectures ?" said Mr. Brown. 44 Oh, yes, sir ; but you know there is a possi bility that characters of individuals may be arri ved at by physiognomic or physiological ober v at ions or by scanning" the dress, maimer and general appearance of the person.
