Honor, it gives ns inore than common pIMMUre to he able to present the story to our renders in the very words of the biographer who first commit ted it to print, muil to give some account of his tssik, famous in its day anil not yet out of print, w hich has marks and merits of ita own that notably distinguished it from idl other books of its kind. Tt has no likeness in all the range of English lit erature. It could have been written by no man that ever lived save its author. It is ail his own, and we do not hesitate to assert that, in Hjiite of the eccentricities of its style, which sets nil the established canons of criticism and rules of taste at ut ter defiance, it is the liest book over writ ten on these shores to inspire the young with a burning love for their country and 11 reverence not to be sbnkeu for the fathers who compassed its independence and o tublislied its free government.

WEEMS, Fohmxrlt Jtncrim ok Mount Ver non Famish. Philadelphia: Prtntkd iron tub Author. 1808. Wn regret that we know little of the history of Mason 1.. Weems, But we have met aged per >ns who have seen him in itesh, and from these wo lluvo heard noth ing hot praise. Ho was a brave, sincere, enthusiastic, honest clergyman—the en emy of gambling, intemperance, and tin prevailing vices of his day, against which lie wrote books that had great popularity; and be was the outspoken blit genial and winning advocate of virtue and religion, the warmth of bis heart endearing him to people wherever ho went and preparing them to give fond ear to his fervid up peals for truth. Above all, ho was a pa triot whose enthusiasm for the liberties of his country was tho master passion of his soul. Ho was the pastor of the old church atPoliick and (he friend of Washington, who attended his preaching,and lie was for many years a familiar visitor at Mount Vernon. His love for Washington bor dered on worship, and when lie name to write the life of hiß hero his whole heart was thrown into the work, and fancy and imagination, which held away over Ml tin other faculties of liis mind, were notspar ingof tinto to complete the portrait of tho perfect man. We have been informed \ t Mr. Weems lived to a great age, but in time and place of his death wo have i information. He had a son who was a reputnh o member of Congress sixty years •tro, and *h" f '* all we know of his family. But l o still livea, and we trust for the honoi* of his country he will always live, in his lxx>k. The opening of the first chapter of this curious volume is an admirable introduc tion to what follows, presenting in a sin gle paragraph a fair specimen of Weems’ original method of writing biography. YVe transcribe it: “Ah, gentlemen,” Exclaimed Bonaparte —’twos just as he was about to embark for Egypt, -some young American!) hap pening at Toulon, and anxious to see the mighty Corsican, had obtained the honor of an introduction to him. Scarcely wore past the customary salutations, when he eagerly naked, “How fares your country man, the great Washington V” “Ho woe very well,” replied the youths, brighten ing at the thought that they were the omntrvmen of Washington, “he was very well. General, when we left America.'’ “At 1 , gentlemen.” rejoined he, “Wash ington can never bo otherwise than well, the measure of his fame is full. Posterity shall talk of him with reverence ns the founder of a great empire when my name shall be lost in the vortex of revolutions.” Who, then, that has a spark of virtuous curiosity but must wish to know the his tory of him whose name could thus awa ken the sigh even of Bonaparte ? Who ? surely enough. This pertinent anecdote, like many oth ers that enliven Parson Weems’ book, it is almost needless to say, was the pro duct of his overflowing imagination, and, as its admirers may argue, is no more to lie despised because it is without founda tion in fact, than an allegory or a para bit), or any other fanciful device forgetting a good moral or wholesome example squarely before tie- readers mind. To this class of pleasing ami instructive in ventions belongs tho famous hatchet story, which, without any delay, wo present in the original words of Weems: Wheu George was about six years old he was made the wealthy master of a hatchet, of which, like most little hoys, he was immoderately fond, mid was con stantly going-alvmt chopping everything that came in bin wny. One day In the garden, where he often- amused himself hacking his mother’s pea-sticks, 1m un hiokily tried the edge of liis lmtehot on the body of a beautiful young English cherry tree, which be barked so terribly 1 that I don’t believe the tree ever got the better of it. The next morning, (lie old gentleman, finding out what had befallen bis tree, which, by the way, was a great favorite, came into the house and with much warmth asked for the mischievous author, declaring ut the same time that he woukl not have token five guineas for hia tree. Nobody could tell him anything about it. Presently George and liis hatchet made their appearance. ‘ “George, ” said his father, “do you know who killed tlmt beautiful little cherry tree yonder in tin- garden V” This was a tough question and George staggered under it for a mo ment. but quickly recovered himself and, looking at his father with the sweet face *>f youth brightened with the inexprvssi Me charm of all conquering truth, hriftely oried out, “I can’t tell a lie. Pa, you know I can’t tell a lie; 1 did cut it with wry Imtohet.” “Run to rov arms, you dearest boy,” cried bis father in trans ports, “run to ary arms—glad urn I, I George, that you ever killed my tree, tor ; you have paid mo for it u thousand fold. Such : u net of heroism in my son is worth more than a thousand trees though blos somed with silver and their fruits of pur est gold.” Parson Weems had small idea when - this little fiction shaped itself in his head 1 tlmt it was destined to descend to poster ity, leaving Ills most lalKired and eloquent i pus sagos in oblivion, and be ground into ! tin-1 leads of children ill the nursery as a piece of immortal and instinctive truth. It was in flights liko the following that his fancy loved to soar. He is describing tho buttle of Trenton, and when he gets his hero on a battle field bis pun invariably runs away with him: The sun had just tipped with gold the adjacent hills, when snowy Trenton, with the wide-touted fields of tho foe, lioVO in sight. To the young in arms this was an awful scene, and nature culled u short lived terror to their hearts. But not un seen of Washington was their fear. He marked the sudden paleness of their i cheeks when first they beheld tho enemy, | and rollick, with half stifled sighs, turned !on him their wistful look. As the big ! lion of Earn, calling his brindled sons to j battle against tho mighty rkinuceraai, if lie marked their falling manes, nnd j crouching to liis sido, instantly puts on all I his terrors; his eyes roll in blood; he shakes ■ the forest with his deepening roar, till ! kindled by their father’s fire the inaddeu- I ing cnbs swell with answering rage, and I spring undaunted on tho monster. Thus stately and terrible rode Columbia’s first and greatest son ulong the front of his halted troops. This is tho way that Mr. Weems thought Gen. Washington must have looked when making an address to his officers; “As lie spoke his chocks, naturally pale, were reddened over with virtue’s pure Vermillion, while his eyes of cerulean blue were, kindled up with those indescribable flies which fancy lends to an angel orator animating poor mortals to tho sublime of God-like deeds. ” An amusing instance of Weems’ way of descending suddenly from tho sublilnest discussions of the imagination to the homln-st illustrations of truth, is presented in tlie following passage. After speaking of his hero’s wonderful virtnres ns a hus band, friend, citizen, farmer and master, he proceeds: But his eulogists have denied him those, tho only scenes which belong to man the groat, anil have tricked him up in the vile drapery of man tho little. 800 1 there he stands, with the port of Mars the de stroyer, and nit frowning over flic fields of war; tho lightning of Potter’s blade is by liis side; the dee,,-mouthed cannon is be fore him, disgorging its flesh-mangling balls; bis war horse paws with impatience to bear him a speedy thunderbolt, against the pale and bleeding ranks of Britain. These arc the drawings usually given of Washington—drawings masterly no doubt tnil perhaps justly descriptive of him in some scenes of liis life; but scenes they were which I am sure his soul abhorred, and in which at any rate yon see nothing of his private virtues. These old-fashioned commodities arc generally thrown into the background of the picture and treated ns tho grandees at the London anil Paris route trout their good old aunts and grand mothers—huddling them together into the back rooms, there to wheeze and cough by themselves, and not depress tho fine laudanum-raised spirits of tho young sparklers. 'liie following description of the recep tion in England of the news of the French and Indian war, in which Washington fol lowed Briithlook, and which was provoked by incursions of the French on the Eng lish settlements, has no likeness to any thing else tlmt we lmvo ever seen in the range of our little readings: Swift, ns the broad-winged pockets could fly across the deep the news was carried to England. Its ofl’oet there was like that of a stone rudely hurled against n nest of hornets. Instantly, from centre to cir cumference, nil is rage and bustle; the hive resounds with the maddening insoo •; dark, tumbling from their cells, they j spread tho hasty wing, and, shrill, wliiz | zing through tho air they rush to find the ! foe. Just so, in the sen-ruling island, j from queen’s house to ale house, from king to cockney, all wore fierce for fight. Even tho rod-nosed porters, whore they mot, bending under their burdens, would stop full-butt in the streets to talk of England’s wrongs, and ns they talked their fiery snouts were seen to grow more fiery still and more deform. Then throwing their packs to the ground and leaping into the attitude of boxers, with sturdy arms across and rough black jaws stretched nut, they bend forward to tho fancied fight. The frog-eating foe, in shirtless rutiles nnil long, lank cue, seems to givo ground; then rising in their might, with iiro strikiug eyes, tlioy press hard upon him, and coming in, hand and foot, with kick and cuff and many a hearty curse, they show the giggling crowd how, damn ’em, they would thump the French. The news was brought to Britain’s King just as he had dispatched his pudding and sat right royally amusing himself with a slice of Gloucester and a nip of ale. From the lips of the King down fell the luckless cheese, idns 1 Not graced to comfort the stomach of tho Lord's anointed while crowned with snowy foam, his ifut-browu ulo stood untested by his plate. Sud denly, as ho heard the news, the monarch 1 darkened iwstiis place and answering dark ness shrouded all liis court. In silence he rolled liis eyes of fire on the floor nnd twirled his terrible thumbs— bis pages shrunk from liis presence, for who could stand before the king of thundering ships when wrath, in gleams of lightning, flashed from his dark red eyes. Starting at length, as.from a trance, lie swallowed liis ale, then, clenching his fist, he gave tho table a tremendous knock and cursed the wooden-shoed nation by liis God. Swift as lie cur.ro 1 tho dogs of w ir bounded from their kennels, keen fi r the chase, : and snuffing the blood of F euehmon on i every gale, they raised a bowl of death j which reached these peaceful shores. \\ e have space for but one more selec tion from the book of this patriot parson. After a ’ description of the deathbed of Washington, conceived in his finest vein, ho gives the following characteristic ac count. of tho departure of his hero’s spirit to the other world: Swift, on angel’s wings, the brighten ing saint ascended while voices more than human were heard (in fancy’s ear) warbling through the happy regions and hymning the great procession toward the gates of heaven, liis glorious coming was seen afar of! and myriads- of mighty angels hastened forth, with golden lmrps, to wel come tho honored stranger. High in front of the shouting hosts were set'll the boun teous forms of Franklin, Warren, Mercer, Scammel, and him who fell ut Quebec, with all the virtuous patriots who, on the side of Columbia, toiled or bled for liberty and truth. But oh 1 how changed from w’lmt they were when, ill their (lays of flesli i bathed in sweat and blood, they fell at | the parent feet of their weeping country. | Not tin' homeliest) infant suddenly spring ing into a soul enchanting llobe—-not dreary winter suddenly brightening into i spring, with all her bloom and fragrance i ravishing the senses, could equal such | glorious change. Oh ! where are now their ! wrinkles and gray hairs? Where their i ghastly wounds nnd dotted blots! ? Their tin ms are of the stature of an gels, their robes like morning clouds streaked with gold, the stars of heaven liko crowns glitter on their heads, immortal visith, celestial rosy red, sits blooming on their checks, while infinite benignity and love beam from tlicir eyes. Such were the forms of thy sons, O Columbia I Sacli tho brother bund of tliy martyred saints that now [sinrod forth from heaven’s wide opened gates to meet thy Washington, to meet their beloved chief who in tho days of his mortulity had led their embattled squadrons to tlie war. At sight of him even these blessed spirits seeln to feel new raptures and to look more dazzlingly bright. In joyous throngs they pour around him; they devour him with their eyes of love; they embrace him in trans ports of tenderness unutterable, while from their roseate cheeks tears of joy such ns angels weep roll down, All that fol lowed was too orach for tho dazzled eye of Imagination. She was seen to return with the quick-panting bosom and looks entranced of a fouil mother near swooning at sudden sight of a dear-loved son, deemed lost, but now found and raised to kingly honors. She was heard passionately to exclaim, with palms anil eyes lifted to heaven, “Oh, who can count tlie stars of Jacob or number the fourth part of the blessings of Israel '! Let me die the death of Washington and may my latter end be like his 1” It may lend additional interest to the book to set down the circumstances that Mr. Lincoln, in the days of his poverty stricken youth, borrowed “Weems’ Life of Washington,” anil devoured it eagerly as all boys do; but having left it exposed |to the rain, where it became ntterly j spoiled, lie pulled corn for three days to ! pay the owner for its loss. Ammonia. No housekeeper should bo without a bottle of spirits of ammonia, tor besides its medicinal value, it is invaluable for household purposes. It is nearly as use ful as soap, and its cheapness brings it within the reach of all. Put a tenupoon fitl of ammonia in a quart of warm soap suds, dip in a flannel cloth, and wipe oil' the dust nnd fly-specks, grin n and smoke, and see for yourselves how much labor it will save. No scrubbing will bo needful. Jt will cleanse anil brighten silver wouder fully; to a pint of hot suds mix ateaspoon ful of the spirits, dip in your silver forks, etc., mb with a brush, nnd then polish on chamois skin. For washing mirrors mid windows it is very desirable; put n | few drops of ammonia on a piece of news ! paper, and you will readily take off every i spot or finger-mark on the glass. Tt will | take out grease spots from every fabric; i put on tho ammonia nearly dry, lay blot ting-paper over the place, and press a hot flatiron on it for a few moments. A few drops in water will clean laces anil whiten them ns well; also muslins. Then it is a most refreshing agent at the toilet table; a few drops in a basin of water will make a bettor bath than pure water, niul if the skin is oily, it will remove all glossiness mid disagreeable oders. Added to a foot-bath it entirely absorbs all nox ious smells, so often arising from the feet in warm weather, nnd nothing is better | for cleaning tho hair from dandruff and dust. For cleaning the hair and nail i brushes it is equally good. Fill a tea spoonful ol' ammonia into one pint of warm wator nnd shnkcjtbc brushes through the water and put them ib the sunshine, or in a warm place, to dry. The dirtiest brushes will come out of tho bath white and clean, For medicinal purposes ammonia is almost nnrivalled. For headache it is n most desirable stimulant, nnd frequent Blinding of its pungent odors will often entirely remove n catarrhal cold. There is no better remedy for heartburn nnd ] dyspepsia, and the aromatic spirits of j ammonia is especially prepared for these troubles, and ton’drops of it in a wine- 1 glassful of water, are a great relief. The! spirits of ammonia can bo taken *in the j same way, but it. is not tin palatable. In j addition to all these uses, the effects of j ammonia on vegetation are beneficial. If ; you desire roses, geraniums, fuchsias, | etc., to become luoi-o flourishing, you cun try it upon them by adding five or six I drops of it. to every pint of warm water tlmt. you give them, but do not repeat the dose oftener than one© in five or six days, lest yon stimulate them too highly, llain j water is impregnated with ammonia, and I thus it refreshes and vivifies vegetable life. ; So bo sure and keep a large bottle of it in ! the house, and have a glass stopper for it, ns it is very evanescent, and also injurious to corks, eating them away.
