MISCE TiT^A Thc Sabbath ot the Year. M~L?H e?uia? ii?'-- Sabbath of the Year, Tis sweet in woodland paths to stray, Eire yet tho foliage, fluttering sere, Is swept to damp decay. To muse in nature's quiet halls, Where, like a saint, she stands at prayer, While solemn thought the soul enthrals, And we her rapture share. The streams that all tho summer long Sang lyrics loud hi careless glee, Glide onward with a soberer song A tender melody. They hush their voices to a hymn Subdued and soft, tho' echoing clear Through woodland aisles and archways dim, Thc vespers of thc year. Though thc winged choir afar has flown, Yet now tho West-wind's breathing seoras Uko the religious organ's tone, Or music hoard in dreams. Up lightly from unnumbered rills, Far-spreading, floats a vapor gray, Like incense that some temple lilla, Whore thousands kneel to pray. The rustling of tho loaves aloft. When the uland breeze the branches stirs, Is like tho murmuring, low and soft, Of myriad worshippers. The lingering wild-flowers blooming fair, Though dreaming of the frost of death, Send upward, like unuttered prayer, The*Eragranc^jf their fcrcath.* ^ Liko ffc?rs, tho aged brees around Scorn toiling beads in fitful prayer, Whene'er a dry loaf to the ground Drops through, the misty air. We feel a prosonco undefined, As if of spiritual things; We ca ich their vague words on the wind We hear ihom wave their wings. Yea, all we feel, and soo, and hoar, To serious mood the soul compels, As when there falls upen the ear The sound of Sabbath bells. If thou art wearied with the jar, Tho. ?erst, tho noise, the fror of life, ^i/d thou wouldst only hoar from far The tumult ol' tho strife; 'When comes tho Sabbath of the Year, Witbhi thc wild-wood enter thou; ?Carts from thy heart shall disappear, Tho shadows from thy brow. In that wide fane not reared by hands, Shall blessings unto thoo be given, As pom' upon the parched sands Tlio welcome showers from Heaven. And thou shalt know that it was good, Listening, to join in nature's prayer, And, wandering in the solitude, lier silent rapture share. [New York Hound Tobit'. Washington-An Interesting Relic. In the Masonic Lodge of Alexandria, Virginia, over which Washington pre? sided as Master, maj' bc seen a beau? tiful knife that was presented to Washington by Ms mother, as an in? ducement to prevent 1dm from enter? ing the British navy as a midship? man-a step in his career which, by Hie persuasion of his brother, Law? rence Washington, then serving as lieutenant under Admiral Vernon, he had decided to take. Young Washing? ton was enraptured with the idea of becoming an officer in the English navy, and no doubt his aspirations led him to feel confident that he would at an carly day be High Admiral of the British fleet. Such was his pas? sion for naval glory, and all the tender influences of a most affectionate mother were lost upon him, until that fond parent held out in her hand the aforesaid little knife, and said : "My son, George, if you will not enter the King's naval service, you shall have this beautiful knife !" The loving son needed only iii is earnest entreaty of | Iiis motlier to cause him to comply with her request; and he did as all gi ?od sons and daughters should do; ' be obeyed the wishes of her who had brought him into the world, nursed ? and matured him. taught him to I speak' and pray. All this, and vol- j unios upon volumes moro, every good ? mother teaches her sons and dangh ters, and still they often disregard the 1 advice of their mothers. Washington followed the teachings and wishes of his mother, and as an ever dutiful son stands forth in bold relief upon the pages of history throughout the world. This little maternal present to Washington is being treasured up in Washington Lodge, at Alexandria, for tin; purpose of gratifying the visitors to that favorite City of Washington, and for thc purpose of enforcing the example of obedience on tho part of children to their pa? rents, set by "The Father of His Country." In the most extensive biographical ?work in the English language will be fouud, under the letters "Wash," a note to the following purpose : ''George Waslihigton, a native of the British colony of Virginia, who arrived to considerable distinction as a commander of the rebels against tho English Government. And owing to a trivial mistake in thc treaty of Aix la Chapelle, in defining the bounda? ries between the possessions of Eng? land and Franco in North America, a dispute about those boundaries sprung np between the tv.'c nations, and led them into war with each other, when thc British colonies took sides with France against their mother country, and acquired their independence!" The British biographer thus dis? poses of the immortal wasnington: "First in war! rirst in peace! and first in the hearts of his fellow-citizens!" ("Fellow-citizens is the tree expres? sion, and not "fellow-countrymen.") At the Washington Lodge, in Alex? andria, will always be found a worthy warden, ready to exhibit this histori? cal knife to whoever may wish to see this valuable relic, and listen to his interesting account of the aforesaid knife-together with a tale about a remarkable pair of gloves that were worn on some extraordinary occasion, and many other deeply interesting mementoes of "Tho World's great Washington. " At the library of the State Department, can also be seen the biographical work wherein is given the English version of thc causes that led to the grandeur and sublimity which decorated the crown universally bestowed upon the dutiful son, Washington. '.Proceed with thy Elephant." In Columbiana County, resides an ! old fellow renowned for his bel?ge- ; renWdisposition; who im generally j known as Friend Shavey. Born and 1 bred a Quaker, he was long sirce read out of meeting on account of iris ' quarrelsome propensities, but he still pertinaciously clings to the plain 1 clothes and plain language of his early | days, possibly as a protection against thc wrath which he is continually provoking by his over-bearing and irritating demeanor. He has always the crossest dog in the neighborhood, the most troublesome, breechy steers, A-c, and is continually in hot water I with some of his neighbors in conse- j quenco of the depredations commit- ; ted by his unruly live stock. A few j weeks since, Van Amburg's Menagerie, traveling through Columbiana, was , obliged to pass his residence. A little before daylight. Nash, the keeper of the elephant Tippoo Saib, as he was passing over thc road Arith his ele? phant, discovered this pseudo Quaker seated upon a fence by the roadside, watching a bull which he had turned out upon the road, and which was pawing, bellowing and throwing up a tremendous dust generally. In fact, from the fury of the animals de? monstrations, one would have readily taken him for one of the identical breed that butted the locomotive oil the bridge. "Take that bull out of tl io way," shouted Nash, as he approached. "Proceed with thy elephant," was the reply. "If you don't take that bull away he will get hurt," continued Nash, approaching, while the bull redoubled his belligerent demonstrations. "Don't trouble thyself about the bull, but proceed with thy elephant," retorted Friend Shavey, rubbing his hands with delight at the prospect of an approaching scrimmage, the old fellow having great confidence in the invincibility of his bull, which was really the terror of the whole country around. Tippoo Saib came along with Iiis uncouth, shambling gait; the bull lowered his head and made a charge directly upon the elephant. Old Tippoo. without even pausing in Iiis ma rel i, gave his cow-catcher a sweep, catching the bull on the side, crushing in his ribs with his enormous tusks, and then raised him about thirty feet in the air, the bull striking upon his head as he came down, breaking his neck and killing him instantly. "I'm afraid your bull has bent Ids neck a little," shouted Nash, as he passed on. "Bent, the devil," cried old Shavey, with a troubled look at his defunct bull; "thy elephant is too heavy for my beast, but thee will not make so much out of the operation as thee supposes. I was going to take my family to thy show, but I'll see thee and thy show blowed to blazes before I go one step, and be d-d-please," the "please" being added as Shavey took a second look at the proportions of the stalwart elephant keeper.
