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.

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.
