When the world is dark without we have light wtthin. When the cases dis turb the breast —when sorrows brood around the heart—what j gathers in the circle of love ! We forget the world, with all its aui mosites while blessed with social kindness and affection. That-wan cannot be cold who has loving hearti that vibrate in sympathy with his own—who is cheered by the smiles of affection and the voice of tenderness. Let the world be dark and cold—let-the hate and animosity of bad men gather around the place of business—but when he enters the ark of love—his own cherished circle T—he forgets all these—the cloud passes from his brow, and the sorrow from the heart. The warm sympathies of his wife and children dispel every shadow, and -he feel. a thrill of joy in his bosom that words are-not adequate to express.

The, con. sequence was, that he often failed in the -fieldTand-rare4-against-an-enemy-in-station-,-- as at Bostbh and York. He was incapable of fear, meeting personal dangers with the calmest unconcern. Perhaps the' strongest feature in his character was prudence—nev er acting until' every eiretimstance, every con sideration, was maturely weighed; refrain ing, if he saw a doubt, but, when once de termined, going through with his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed..

Those who have studied his writings must have been struck with remarkable transition from humor to pathos, Irmo the broadest fun to the most meditative sentiment, which occurs between the facetious history of New York and the Sketch Book. Many, perhaps, im agine that is accounted for by his loss of for tune. It had its origin in one of those dis appointments of the heart which color all the subsequent life of a true man. We trust that now there is no want of delicacy in al lading to the fact the subject of Irving's love died during their betrothal. We have heard the last 'interview described by a mefnber of her family ; 'and to the sacred sorrow thus eogeudered is to be ascribed much that is touching and true in the sentiment of Irving's writings; to his featly to his affection, in no small degree, is owing to the sensibility which kept his heart fresh to the last, and shave all, that respect for and sympathy with the innate and holy sentiments of humanity, which he so uniformly cherished and mani fested in his litters and in life. 'Nor is this all. Time may have healed the wound - and reconciled the bereft to anoth er relation , but there intervened a period of disaster which drove the eldest brother to bankruptcy. For his sake and that of his family of daughters, Washington Irving con tinued single; took them home, and became a father to the children. Beautiful was the mutual devotion, happy their congenial house hold, and Sunny side is now bequeath fo them.
