GOD BLESS YOU.
How sweetly fall those simple words,
Upon the human heart, When friends long bound by strongest tics
Arc doomed by fate to part. You sadly press the hand of those
Who thus in love caress you, And soul responsivo beats the soul,
In breathing out "God bless you."
"God bless you!" oh ! long months ago
I heard the mournful phrase, When one whom I in childhood loved
Went from my dreamy gaze. Now blinding tears fall thick and fast
I mourn my long lost treasure, While echoes ofthe heart bring back
The farewell prayer {;God bless you."
The mother sending forth her boy,
To scenes untried and new, Liopi not a studied stately speech,
Nor murmurs out "adieu." She sadly saj\s between her sobs,
'•Whene'er misfortunes press you, Come to thy mother—boy, come back,"
Then sadly sighs, "God bless you,"
"God bless you?" more of love expresses
Than volumes without number ; Reveal wc thus our trust in Him
Whose eyelids never slumber, I ask in parting no long speech,
Drawled out iu studied measure, I only ask the the dear old words,
So sweet—so sad—"God bless von ""
him, for then his complexion was as rud- I dy as if he were only twenty years old. I A few months before his death I be- | held this extraordinary man forthe last ; time.    He stopped at the tavern oppo- ; site the Presbyterian church in Bridge ! street, Georgetown.   At that time a reg- | iment of soldiers were stationed in their tents on the banks of Rock creek, and frequently attended Dr. Balch's church dressed in their costume and powdered . after the revolutionary fashion.   I at-1 tended their parade  almost  every day, \ and on one of these occasions I recog- j nized Washington riding on horseback, I unaccompanied   by  any  one.    Ilo was going out to see houses on Capitol Hill, j as I supposed.    Thoy were burut by the i British in 1814.    My youthful eye was riveted on him until he disappeared, aud ' that forever.    I was  surprised that he ! did not once look at the parade, so far a3 I could discover, on the contrary, he appeared indifferent to the whole scene. It has been my privilege to see the best likenesses of the Chief.   The one, of all others, most resembling him is that pre¬ fixed to the first volume of "Irviugs Life of Washington."    All the   rest wanted the animation which I perceived  in his features

An Important Decision.—Judge Cul¬ ver of New York city rendered an im¬ portant decision a few days since ac¬ knowledging the invalidity of slave mar¬ riages. B. N. Warwick, a colored M. B. preacher, wa9 formerly a slave iu Xorth Carolina, and was married, in the method of the slaves, to Winnie, also a slave, by whom he had twelve children. In 1828 ho was set freo, came to "Willi¬ amsburg in 1831, and  married  another
blowing hard dowu the Potomac at Georgetown, I). C. A troop of light horse from Alexandria escorted him to the western bank of the river. The wavos ran high and the boat which brought him over seemed to labor con¬ siderably. Several thousand people greeted his arrival with swelling hearts and joyful countenances ; the military were drawn up in a long line to receive liim, the officers, dressed in regimentals did him homage.    I was so fortunate as
to walk by his side, aud had a full view   woman.    His first wife has since become
free, aud prosecuted him for bigamy.— The defence was that Warwick had no expectation of her ever becoming free, or ho would have felt morrally bound to her, and that legally he was not. The judged ruled that slaves being chattels could not make contracts, and the first marriage was therefore a nullity. As Judge Culver is an abolitionist, this de¬ cision is regarded as very important, be¬ cause based entirely on the local laws of the Southern States.
of him. Although only about ten years of age, the impression his person and manner then made on me is now perfectly revived, lie was six feet aud one inch high, broad and athletic, with very largo limbs, entirely erect and without the slightest tendency to stooping ; his hair was white, and tied with a silk string, his countenance lofty, masculine and contemplative ; his eye light grey. He was dressed in the clothes of a citizen ; and over these a blue surtout of the finest cloth. His weiglit must have been two hundred and thirty pounds with no su¬ perfluous flesh ; ali was bone and siuew, and he walked like a soldier. Whoever has seen in the Patent Office at Wash¬ ington, the dress he wore when he re¬ signed his commission as commander-in- chief, in December, 1783, at once per¬ ceives how largo and magnificent was his frame. During the parade, some¬ thing at a distance suddenly attracted his attention. Ilis eye was instantane¬ ously lighted up as if with lightning's flash. At this moment I see its marvel¬ lous animation, itt; glowing fire, exhibi¬ ting strong passion, controlled by delib¬ erate reason.
In the summer of 1709, I again saw the chief. He rode a purely white horse, seventeen hands high, well proportioned, of high spirit; he almost seemed consci¬ ous that he bore on his back tho Father of his country. He reminded me of the war-horse whose neck is clothed with thunder. I have seen some highly ac¬ complished riders, but none of them ap¬ proached Washington ; he was perfect in this respect. Belaud him, at the dis¬ tance of perpaps forty yards, came Billy Leo, his body servant, who had perilled his life in many a field, beginning on the heights of Boston 1775 and ending in 1871, when Cornwallis surrendered, and the captive army, with inexpressible cha¬ grin, laid down their arms at Yorktown. Billy rode a cream-colored horse ofthe finest form, and his old revolutionary cocked hat indicated that its owner had often heard the roar of cannon and small arms, and had encountered many trying scenes. Billy was a dark mulatto. Hia master speaks highly of him in his will, and provides for his support.
Some time during this year perhaps, I saw him at Seeme's tavern in George¬ town ; the steps, porch and streets were crowded with persons desirous of behold- ing the man.
I viewed him through a window. The most venerable, dignified and wealthy men of the town were there—some con¬ versing with him. Washington seemed almost a dilierent being from any of them, and indeed from any other person ever reared iu this country. His countenance was not so animated a3 when 1 first saw
Death of Doctor Bailey.—The dis¬ tinguished gentleman, the editor ofthe Washington National Era, died on board the Arago, on the 5th inst., while en route to Europe, for the benefit of his health. Dr. Bailey was born at Mount Holly, N. J., in 1S07, but was educated in Philadelphia, where his father removed when he was a child. Receiving the de¬ gree of M. D. at the age of twenty-one, he went to Canton as ship surgeon, and returning, took charge, at Baltimore, of tho M ethodist Protestant, as editor. In 1836 he assisted Mr. James G. Birney us editor of an Abolition journal in Cin¬ cinnati. In 1847 he was selected as the editor ofthe anti-slavery paper at Wash¬ ington, iu which position ho continued to the time of bis death. The novel of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" first appeared in his columns.

Bov Poisoned.—Recently Rob'tThorn, a lad of sixteen years, with two other youug men of Brady's bend, Armstrong county, went out to gather spikenard.— Instead, however, of the plant they sought, they came across wild parsnip. Young Thorn ate plentifully of it, and died in about half an hour. The other two ate but little, and were not much af¬ fected by it. Wild parsnip, it is well known, is a most deadly poison at this season of the year.
ȣg"It is reported that a challenge has passed between the Hon, Garret Davis and Mr. Simms, the democratic candi date for Congress in tha Ashland (Ky.) district, and that a hostile encounter will soon take place between them. The difficulty grew out of a publication made by Mr. Davis, which Mr. Simm3 de nounced.

A Little too much.—A tarring and feathering affair recently came off at Kinderhook, N. Y. Sylvester Groat, a married man, eloped with Miss Evange¬ line Felsomby, but they were caught.— The guilty pair was discovered enjoying the same couch. Groat was forcibly taken from the house in his night clothes, into the open air, when the party deci¬ ded to* return for his partner in sin.— But npon again entering the room she was not to be found, until a thorough search of the room was made; when she was discovered in her night-clothes, snugly stowed away under the bed.— Deprived of all ceremonious forms the unfortunate woman was seized and taken out into the yard with Groat. Here a coat of tar and feathers was applied to each. The body of Groat was complete¬ ly saturated with the "sticky" prepara¬ tion, a quantity being poured over his head. The woman was more humanly treated, being covered with it only from the shoulders downwards. Next a coat of tar and feathers was applied, and the two "subjects" placed in a wagon, were drawn about the village, amid the shouts of the people.

Greeley as a Traveling Companion. —The Kasas correspondent of the Bos¬ ton Journal says of him: "An admirable traveling companion is Mr. Greeley, with an inexhaustable fand of humorous experience and mirthful anecdote, a phil¬ osophy that neither frets nor grumbles at annoyances, and an always benignant countenance, radiant with a clear con¬ science, a sound digestion, and abun¬ dance of the milk of human kindness.— Occasionally, when crossing rivulets on foot, he sinks in mire to the knees, bat maintains his serenity undisturbed. To¬ day we met a party of returning Ohio emigrants who had mired their wagon in a slough, from which their weary cattle were unable to extricate it. He gave a few common sense directions about using the spade, and then took hold of the le¬ ver and pried at the wheel with a vast deal of vim."
Consider me Smith.
Old Doctor Caldwell, formerly ono of i the faculty of the University of North Carolina, was a small man and lean, but as hard and angular as the most irregular of pine knots.    He looked as if he might be   tough, but he did not seem strong. Nevertheless, he was among the know- j ing ones reputed to be as agile as a cat, and, in addition, was by no means de- ficient in knowledge ofthe "uoble science : of self-defence."    Besides, he was as cool as a cucumber.
Well, in the freshman class of a cer¬ tain year was a burly, beef mountaineer, of eighteen or nineteen. This genius conceived a great contempt for the doc¬ tor's physical dimensions, and his soul was horrified that one so deficient in muscle should be so potential in his rule.
Poor Jones—that's what we'll call him —had no idea of moral force. At any rate, he was not inclined to knock under, and be controlled despotically by a man that he imagined that he could lie and whip. He at length determined to give the gentleman a genteel private thrash¬ ing, some night in the College Campus, pretendiug to mistake him for some fel¬ low student.
Shortly after, on a dark and rainy night, Jones met the doctor in crossing the Campus. Walking up to him, he said, abruptly—
"Hello, Smith! you rascal—is this you ?"
And with that he struck the old gen¬ tleman a blow on the side of the face that nearly felled him.
Old Bolus said nothing, but squared himself, and at it they went Jones' youth, weight and muscle, made him an ugly customer; but after a round or two the doctor's science began to tell, and in a short time he had knocked his beefy an¬ tagonist down, and was astride his chest, with one hand on his throat, and the other dealing vigorous cuffs on the side of the head.
"Ah, stop ! I beg pardon, doctor !— Doctor Caldwell—a mistake—for heav¬ en's sake, doctor !" groaned Jones, who thought he was about to be eaten up— "I—I really thought it was Smith !"
"It makes no difference ; for all pres¬ ent purposes, consider me Smith 1" re¬ plied th e doctor, with a blow and a word alternately.
And, it is said, old Bolus gave Jones such a pounding, then and there, as probably prevented his ever making another mistake as to personal identity, at least on the College Campus 1
The Chivalry behind the Age.
North Carolina is not as progressive as many of her sister States. A few days ago a fellow was convicted of biga¬ my there,and the following is the account the newspapers give of the execution of the sentence against the evil-doer :
"The sheriff and his deputy then blind¬ folded the prisoner, tied his hands, aud bound his head firmly to the bar. Tak¬ ing the branding iron from the furnace, the sheriff applied it red hot to the cheek ofthe bigamist, burning a plain letter B an inch and a half long, and nearly an inch deep. The prisoner was then re¬ manded to jail, where his head and hand were introduced into the pillory, and 'forty stripes save one' were applied to his bare back, after which he was dis- harged."
Every jail in North Carolina is provi¬ ded with a whipping post, stocks and pillory. Murder, rape, arson, burglary, and the higher crimes and misdemeanors are punished with death ; manslaughter by branding the letter M in the right hand. The convict's hand is bound to the bar, and the branding-iron held upon the palm until he can say "God save the State" three times. Under this law a fellow who stutters generally has his hand burned off. Theft and minor offen¬ ces by whipping, standing in the pillory, or sitting in the stocks.
Death of the Jellachich.—By a cu¬ rious coincidence, the steamer which brings intelligence of the re-appearance of Kossuth as a director of the public opinion of England, also conveys to us the tidings of the death of Kossuth's old enemy, the Ban Jellachich. The Ban had long been laboring under a disease of the chest, wbich cansed his death at Agram, in Crotia, about the 20th of May. He was for a time the leader of the Aus¬ trian forces against the Hungarian pa¬ triots in 1848.
The Work of War.—Destruction is the great work and Death the great workman of war. Only think that at the battle of Magenta there lay dead or gasping for breath on the gory plain twice as many men as there are in the whole army of the United States—as many men as some of our flourishing in¬ land towns count of inhabitants. Only think of this, and speak lightly of the
battle-field if yoa can.

Crossing Niagara on a Tight Rope* —Blondin, the celebrated tight-rope performer, is to try to cross Niagara Falls, just in front of the Great Horse Shoe Fall, on a tight rope, sixteen hun¬ dred feet in length, and six inches in cir¬ cumference, which has been purchased expressly, and is now being inspected.— Tbe feat will take place in about two weeks. The crossing is to be effected from the lower end of Goat Island to a point in Canada opposite.

Monument to J. Fenmmore Cooper. —An effort is being made among the immediate neighbors of the late J. Fen- nimore Cooper, to erect a auitaole mon¬ ument to his memory. The movement is confined to the citizens of Coopers- town, his former residence, and the neigh¬ boring villages in Otsego county, N. Y. It is proposed to place the monument in Lake Wood Cemetery, a most charming spot, nestled in a romantic position, made doubly so by the writings of Coop¬ er, between the high hills in which the famous Leatherstocking found his dwel¬ ling, and the unruffled waters of Otsego Lake. The monument is to be of Italian marble, twenty-five feet in height, with a granite base, surmounted by a statuette of Leatherstocking, and with appropriate devices upon its sides. The cost is es¬ timated at $3,000, of which all but §700 has been raised.
Great Scheme.—The Philadelphians propose to locate the freight depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Callowhill Btreet wharf, on the Delaware, and to bring the road by a tunnel under the bed of Callowhill street from the Schuylkill to the Delaware, a distance of about two miles. The scheme will be a costly one, but highly advantageous to the city and the road, in all probability.

Extraordinary Birth.—The Johns¬ town Echo notices the birth of a child in that borough entirely destitute of even the semblance of an eye, and having an additional toe on each foot, and au ad. ditional finger on each hand, ln other respects the child is perfectly formed, and is said to be in a thriving condition.
