Genrge Brummell entered the fashiona ble world .at the age of twenty-one, with a princely fortune at command. He gave himself wholly and entirely to the cultiva tion of the highest tastes of fashionable life. He spent £BOO a year on dress alone, and so refined was he in his manners and grace, that he, came, to be admitted to the highest circles of the nobility; and the " Prince Regent,".. says his biographer, "would occasionally attend his dressing room for an hour in the morning, to watch the mysterious grace with which he dis charged the duties of his toilet." Years passed away, and this man's fortune was spent, His frienda.then deserted him; he fled to the Continent—begged for his'bread in, the streets of Paris, and died in a lunatic asylum, He had sown the wind—he-reap ed thewhirlwind; and with him the fash ions of - this life .were found 'to be "vanity of vanities and vexation of spirit." The great Duke .of Marlborough accu mulated a million of •money, and died in wretchedness of mind, while his - property went to enrieh a family who were looked upon by him during his lifetime as his greatest enemies. A Scottish nobleman took a friend to the, summit of a hill on his property, and told him that all be could look on was his own. " Surely, your lordship must be a 'happy man," said this friend; to which he re plied : " I do not believe that there is in all this vast - cironft a more unhappy man than my self." The wealthy Col. Charteris, when dying, said, he would give £30,000 to any one who could prove to his satisfaction that there was no', such place'as hell. ,Blwes,' the miser, when dying, was foufid weeping with anxiety and grief, because he had mislaid a'five-pound note. But of all men who have , sought for en joyment in riches, perhaps the case, of the, late William Behkford, of Ponthill Abbey, in England, is the, most remarkable. In heriting a large fortune, he first resided in Portugal, where he lived in a monastery, " the ceiling of which was, gilded and painted, the floor spread with Persian car pets, of the.finest texture; the tables deck ed with superb ewers and basins of chased silver. A stream of water flowed through his kitchen, frOm which were formed reser voirs containing every kind of river fish. On one side were heaped up loads of game and venison; on the ether side were vegetables and fruit' in endless variety. Beyond a long line o f stores extended a row of ovens, and close to them, hillocks of the finest wheaten flour, rocks ofsugar, jars of the purest oil, and, pastry .in various abund anus." The atiaguificent saloon -in which he dined, was covered with pictures, and lighted up with a profusion of was. tapers, in Setirices of silver, and the banquet usually consisted of rarities and delicacies of every season, from different countries. When in England he pulled down a splendid ,man sion, trecidd, h 'by his father, at a cost of neary a quarter of a million of money, to build an abbey, whose towers ' like the tower of:Babel, might reach to heaven. A wall nearly , twenty , miles in circumference inclosed his mansion and grounds, and so costly Were "'the futnishings of the place, , that the glories transcended those of oriental splendor. One who saw the abbey and, ground says "Gold and silver vases and cups are so numerous, here that they dazzle the eye; , and when one looks around at the cabinets, reandelabra. , and ornaments which decorate the rooms, , we may almost imagine that we -stand. in the treasury of some', oriental prince, whose riches consist, Ontifely,ip yes eels of :gefil'ancl' - silver, ' enriched " with precious *mei .of every sort, fiom. the, ruby to the diaged e :', Such was e Afigkford, of Fonthill Abbey, with his prince mammon, and an income, of 400,000 a year. But was he happy ? No. was. wretehed ; and a reverse of fortune ,having , unexpectedly come upon him, he was-drivengrour his' mansion, spent the last of his .days in misery, and another pa - htfullexititple;of the folly of set ting the hearV.on earthly enjoyments, and proving again the truthdof the*wise man's words, " Vanity , of. vanities,—saith the Preacher, ail . is "vektiEttillo of `spiri William Pitt, son of the great Earl of Chatham, was endowed with .the rarest gifts of nature, and, at the early age of twenty four, was Prime Minister of England. " The mightiest intellects," says one who knew him well, " bent before him, and the highest offices were in his patronage. Each 'morning when he rose he was entitled to assert that, in all the vast empire of Eng land, the sun shone on none who was in reality, however he might be in name, mere powerful than himself. And yet this great man, during his public career, was always wretched, miserable, unhappy." "He died," says a biographer , "in his for ty-seventh year, on th anniversary of the very day on which he entered Parliament. Oh, what a difference there was between the buoyant youth of twenty, and the care worn statesman of forty-seven Before the , eyes of the one sparkled a long vista of po- . , litioal enjoyments and honors; before the eyes of the other were the anxieties and' cares which had attended them when! grasped. He had 'followed, as his object in life, unsanetified ambition, and he found it vanity and vexation orspirit;'' "and died," says Wilbeforee, "of a broken heart." Robert Clive was a mercantile clerk in India. He had a pa,ssion for the life of a soldier, and obtained an ensigncy in the army of the East. Here he roseuntil he became the conqueror of India, and had the treasures of the East poured at his Let. "The whole kingdom," wrote his father to him, "is in transport at the'glory and suc cess you have gained; come away, and let us rejoice together." He returned, was impeached by the House of Commons, and was so chagrined and disappointed that he took his own life. Among those who have sought for hap piness in the honors and excitement of public life, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the orator, is a melancholy instance of the folly of such a course. In the House 'of Com mons, so powerful was the impression pro duced by his speeches, that members could, not trust themselves to vote on, any ques tion on which he spoke, until the excite ment had subsided." Yet this man died in wretchedness and want. His last words were, " I am absolutely undone." [Selected. Turn we now to the field of literature There we have in the foremost rank, Sir Walter Scott. "Never, perhaps, in any period of the world's history," says a con temporary of Scott, " did literary talent receive a homage so universal as that of Scott. His reputation was coextensive not only with the English language, but with the boundaries of civilization. In one year, too, his literary productions yielded him 1,15,000. The King conferred on him a baronetcy, and wherever he ap peared, at home or abroad, he was the lion of the day. All the good things of life were his. His mansion at Abbotsford realised the highest conception of a poet's imagination, and seemed like g a poem in stone.' His company was of the most honorable of the land, and his domestic enjoyments all that his heart could desire. Yet he was not happy. Ambitious to found a family, he got into debt, and in old age he was a ruined; man. When about to leave Abbotsford for the last time, he said, When I think on what this place now is, with what it Was not lona.. b ago, I feel as if my heart would break. Lonely, aged, de prived of all my family, I am an impover ished and embarrassed man.' At another time he writes, Death has closed the dark avenue of love and friendships. I look at them as through the grated door of a burial place filled with monuments of those who once were dear to me, and with no other wish than that it may open for me at no distant period.' And again—' Some new object of complaint comes every moment. Sicknesses come thicker and thicker; friends are fewer and. fewer. The recollec tion, of, youth, health, and powers of activ ity, neither improved nor enjoyed, is a poor ground of comfort. The best is, the long halt will arrive at length, and close all.' And the long halt did arrive. Not long before he died, Sir Walter requested his daughter to wheel him.to his desk.- She then put a pen into his hand, but his fingers re- fused to do their office. Sildnt tears rolled down his cheeks. Take me back - to my own room,' he said; 'there is no rest for Sir Walter but in his - grave!' A few days after, he died, realizing in reference to all his fame, honor, and renown, the truth of Solomon Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher, all is vanity and vexation of spirit!" Campbell, the author of the "Pleasures ,of Hope," in his old age wrote : "Ham alone-in the world. My wife and the child of my;hopes, are dead ;,,my, only surviving child is consigned to a living tomb (a luna tic asylum)—my old friends, brothers, sis ters, are dead; all but one, and she, too, is dying ; my last hopes are blighted. As for fame, it is a bubble that must soon burst. Earned for others, shared with others, it was sweet; but at my age, to my own solitary experience, it is bitter. Left in my chamber alone, by myself, is it won derful my philosophy at times takes flight; that I rush into company ;, resort to that which blunts but heals no pang; and then, sick of 'the world, and dissatisfied with myself, shrink- back into solitude ?" And in this state of mind he died. Charles the Fifth resigned the crown in despair of getting happiness on the throne. Catherine of Russia, an empress of the most ambitious character, sought for happi ness in earthly glory, yet could, not get rest in sleep, from the torments of a guilty con science. And many other cases might be adduced to show how true it is, as the poet says— " Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." These are examples of the vanity Of pur suing the mirage of life. The objects of pursuit, had they been sanctified and good, would have yielded happiness, if rightly realized; for Divine Providence has so constituted man that,. even• as a mundane being, he may possess much real enjoy ment. Be it ours, then, to " set the affee-, tions on things . above, and not on things below, that perish in the . nsing," to lay up treasures in heaven, where "neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break not through nor steal ;" so to run that we may obtain, and so to- struggle for the crown that, like Paul, we may be, ena bled to say, " I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith ; heraceforth there*is laid up for. me a crown of sighteousness, which :the .Lord, the righteous JUdge shall give me at that iday ; and not to -me only, but ti) all .-them lalso that love his appearing."--Rev. J. H Wilson, London. Metal Washington's Wow How we sueceded at the Revolution, the following extracts from General Washin g .. ton's orderly book will show: • " Col. Washington has observed that the men of his regiment are very profane and reprobate. He takes this opportunity to inform them of his great displeasure at such practices, and assures them that if they do not leave them off they shall be severely punished: The officers , are desired, if they PRESBYTERIAN BANNER-SATURDA Y, JUNE 14, 1862. hear, any man swear or make use of an oath or execration, to order the offender twenty five lashes immediately, without a .Uourt martial. For the second offence he will be more severely punished." Again, from the orderly book, Aug. 3, 1776:: " The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of pro-, fane cursing and swearing, a,vicelicreto fore little known in an American army, is growing into fashion. He hopes the (AT:L eers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it, and both they and the.men will reflect that we can have little hope of the blessing of Heaven on ourarms if we insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this, it is a vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense and character detests and' de spises it." The following were his inStructions to Brigadier-Generals, May 26, 1777 : "Let vice and immorality of every kind be discouraged as much as possible in your Brigade; and, as a chaplain 'is allowed to each regiment, see that the •men =regularly Attend Divine worship. Gambling of every kind is expressly forbidden, as being the foundation of evil, and, the causeof many a brave and gallant officer's ruin!' Gen: McClellan . anti Slavery. - The Wasbinoton correspondent of the New-York Evening Post, says:: 14 I was yesterdaj informed .by one of Gen. McClellan's most intimate friends.that he approves most heartily the President's emancipation proclamation, and (that he has been very much misunderstood by the coun try generally, as to his views on the Slavery question, as it connects itself with the war. This friend asserts that Gen. McClellan be lieves that the country will see no lasting, peace till slavery is destroyed, and that he is not a pro-slavery man, as some persons have stated. It is further said of him, that as a soldier he has been careful of his speech on all such matters, but that he-has intended that no officer of the Potomac army shall ever return a fugitive slave;and that the few isolated oases which have oc curred, have not met with his approbation. That be ordered the arrest of Gen. Stone, is a'well-known fact, and that it is , further known that when his attention has been re peatedly called to the fact that fugitive slaves were, in the camps of, the Govern ment troops, across the river, be has re plied that the Commander of the army could not recognize any person as a slave." The. Evening Post, commenting on the above, says ur correspondent at Washington states that the distinguished' General at the head of the army, cordially approves the late message of the President, and he fur thermore observes that McClellan is not as some people appear tohave understood, a pro slavery, man in sentiment. The zealous journals which have undertaken to defend him where he was not assailed, have oVer done the matter, and placed him politically in a false position." • Tim Loss AT SICILOEL—The official re port of Gen.

A FRIENDLY WORDIFOR THE NORTH.— It is curious to observe the straits to which the Southern sympathizers are reduced, in order to account for the late successes of the Federalists. The task which a few weeks ago was declared to be impossible, because of the stern resolution of the • , Southern chivalry, has now, according to 'these pliant, sympathizers, become ,possible, , be cause this Southern chivalry has for . gotten how to fight. New Orleans fell 'without the loss of- a man.; Yorktown has been evacuated with the same pusillani mous cowardiee; the lists of killed and. .wounded are 'lamentably small; in short, the, Confederate , Generals know nothing of war, and the men proved themselves .cowards. All this is the merest delusion. AI Pittsburgh, the Southerners, we know, fought with a desperate resolution not often witnessed; and' the Southern officers have generally, proved thethselvei men of ability. But the self -aufficient critics of Europe— victim:li of their own shallow prophecies— ,consider it_their paramount duty to ignore the obvious facts of the case. From the beginning; those who knew anything of,the Northerners, predicted that their supe Tiority in •numbers and in wealth must, sooner or later, prevail.

Feeding and Watering Horses, The following abridged observations of a French writer are deserving the attention of all who have horses under their care : The same quantity of oats given to a horse produee different • effects according to the time they are administered. I have made the experiments on my own horses, and always observed there is a quantity of matter not digested, When I purposely gave them we.ter immediately after a feed of. eats. There_ is decidedly, then, a great advantage in giving horses water before grain is fed them: Where is another bad•practiee, loh - serve, that of giving, grain and hay on their return to the stable immediately after hard work- Being very hungry they de vour much food eagerly, and do not prop erly masticate it; the consequences is, that it is not well digested, and not nearly so nutritious.' When 'a horse returns from work, perspiring and out of breath, it should be allowed to rest for a time, then give a little hay; half an hour afterward, water, and' then oats or other grain. By this plan, water may be given without risk of cold, as the oats act as a. Stimulant Traasplanting Tomatoes, ete If tomatoes, cabbage-plants and the like; are' pricked out " severaltimes in the•hot' bed or seed-bed, they will 'become more stocky,-and ,will form a mass,of roots whieb will make their final removal to the ,open ground an , easy matter, and ensure their making a speedy and - rapid growth. (By " pricking out," gardeners mean, transplant lug from a thick bed to give each plant more room to expand its tops and roots, and thus •secure a more ,, stoeky habit The roots of plants frequently transplanted are likely to _grow in a more compactmass, and endure this Anal removal better.) While still'under th.e glasses, they should have as much air as possible byrdaytime, to inure them to the atmosphere of out doors.. Just, after a 'shower the ground is wet enough to refre,sh the roots, and the air is so moist that it does not• exhaust the plants by rapid evaporation.• 13ut that good shower does not always come at`just the desired time; the season is advancing, our plants are full grown, and ought to be in . the garden ; what shall we 'do ? Do this : provide a number of old iboxes; or a few dozen shingles, and have at hand a few pails of tepid water. Having .stretched a line, make holes alongside of it,-where, the plants are to standy and pour , a, pint , or more of water into eaeli, leaving it to soak away. Take up your plants carefully with a garden trowell, preserving as muelidirt as possible around the roots, and then set them in the holes, drawing firm soil around them; and covering the stems a. little high er than they.• stood , before. PreVions to finishing off, pour, about half a ,pint - of, water, into each hole, and then cover with , 'common : dry soil---though this last water ing is not essential. Shield each plant with a box or with shingles from the heat -of the sun. _The leaves, will droop a little for a:day or two, but they will revive again, and not a, plant be lost. Following this method, one can transplant these, and many otter plants, whenever he pleases. ELECT CLASSICAL.SCROOL FOR -LADIES, corner of Beaver Street And , SoothCommon •Ailegfmny City, Pa.. MRS E.
