Time wings his ceaseless flight" was' said by one whose name has since be ome ' familiar as a household word; and yet how few in this fast age realize the maxiM, as day after day flits by and year follows year in quick succession, 'till we reach the final g oal and doff the mortal for immortality!— We are but t pageants of the hour—sand in life's hour-glass, sinking into the ocean of oblivion and forgotten 'ere the shimmering wave has ceased its ripple or broken on the .-. shore. We herald each coming morn as the harbinger of brighter hopes and anticipa tions, and each New Year with higher re solves for the performance of good and no ble actions; and yet in the final summing up of all accounts, how far we have fallen short of duties performed, and how few have met life's great expectation S- Work, nwr-ending work, and untiring energy are the means by which we overcome) and their neglect the cause of all our failures.

Here is Inc 'IT raid eat ria , ! . e, with its pl a in broe n linin,as. and in it Mrs. (rant and tier father. A light bug-ay flies past, drawn by superb horses, driven by a_ single ;ectipant. lie is the President—small, slight, erect—smoking a cigar. The ectripe of the Vice President is afire to go by at, s, certain hour toward the capitol; and within it one catches a bright glimpse of a woman nod a baby's race: - In a pliwtori, - drawn by ereaneeelored horses, an, pg , conmosed and comfortable looking coupe- - --xtepresen; naive and Mrs. Brooks, of New York. The courtly equipages of the Peruvian, Argen tine, TurkiSh, and English Ministers, with liveried outriders and beautiful women oc cupants, with the no less elegant establish ments of Americau Senators, members, and citizens, swell the gay cavalcade on this truly splendid Corso. Standing on tile curbstone, gazing on It all with an expres sion which would have.reade Dickens wild till he had reproduced it, stands Beau Hick man, long a character of Washington. He is an old man, long and lean, with a face corrugated like a wizened apple, and a com plexion like parchment or an Egyptian mummy. his aspect is a strange compound of gentility and meann'ess. His stove-pipe hat, Which evidently has survived many a bat terieg, is carefully brnshed, his standing collar is very stiff and very high. His vest is grayish white, his coat 19 dnigrand shi ny. His faded pantaloons have been darn ed, and need darning again. His toes are peering through his shoes, and they are down lit the heels. Yet he carries a fop r,i,Th c a ne, and wears his hat in a rakish fashion. Beau Hickman was born a Vir ginia gentleman, across the river, and re mains a Virginia gentleman, inaotuueh as lie still Manages to live without labor, it be ing the pride bf his heart that he never did anything useful in his life. lie ekes out a wretched existence by filching small Sums from frieutls and strtibgers for telling stories 1111(1 relating experiences, for Which he in variably demands a drink or a supper. One of the most miserable objects I ever beheld is Beau Hickman hungry, hobbling through the Senate restaurant, gazing at one table and then another, at the comfortable people ratit r' , by them filling their stomachs—not one, alas! asking him to partake. Here, with a sweep and•swing, with head th rown back and arms at rest, conies a man as supremely indifferent to all this show as the other is abjecq enthralled by it. This man, slowly swinging down the avenue, is a cosmos in himself. Locks profuse and white, eyes big and blue, cheeks ruddy, throat bare, wide collar turned back, his slouched felt bat punched in—a perfect lion apparently in muscle: and vitality,—this is Walt Whitman. Every sunshiny day he " loafs and invites his soul" on the avenue. And there are other Roets who do likewise. Here sometimes may be seen John James Piatt, now librarian of the House of Repre sentatives, with his blonde hair and brown eyed wife, who is quite as much a poet as be is; and:John Burroughs, the Thoreau of the Treasury Department, gentle and Shy its one: of his own birds; and William C onne r, whose poetical fires burn undim med within the Hanle dim old walls; and, - aid in mourning, Harriet Prescott Spa- . fold, su vet poet and sweeter W 011121.11.
