We cilract from a private letter the fol lowing account of A VISIT TO MOUNT VEBNON. After remaining in Washington nine days, I took a beautiful boat, which at this makes the trip to Mount Vernon twice a week, for the purpose of seeing the hallowed f spot where sleeps all tliakremains of George Washington. The day was a pleasant one, i and served by its brightness to enhance the natural beauty of the river scenery. Fish ermen with long nets dotted the water, and anchored coal-ships were lazily rockin'* in the gentle breeze. -The day being caltnrvis . itors soon crowded tbo boat, and none, 1 dare say, ever enjoyed a more agreeable ride tlian ! this one of near twenty miles on tho bosom of the broad Potomac. As we wore nearing - Mount Vernon, the bell began its* slow loll ing, and turning to the wharf, we could see, aliAost obscured by green trees, though stand ing on a high bank of the river, the old whito [ house where, retired from public service, liv . cd and died “ the father of .his country,” , The boat stops at an old wharf which, with -some repair,, Ljoks as though it had stood half a century. On leaving tho boat, - wc were directed along a narrow, winding track which has been cut and laid’with planks. These, however, are fast decaying, t making the walk to the tomb (which is up a , considerable ascent, and a distance of more than one hundred yards) rugged and fatiguing. Near the termination of this pathway, we stood before the tomb of Washington. Nev . er had I known the feeling of patriotic in spiration till stopped so ucar the humbly-en tombed dust of America’s great son. The history of a revolution rises up before you, the struggles of a nation to avoid oppression r and of a republic in infancy for independence, all recur to your mind as you stand on that consecrated spot, liut my object is to de scribe. ’ The tomb is built of common brick, and above the entrance is a single squaro piece.of . granite, in which is cut, “ Washington ■ Family.” The shutters-codsist of two iron gates, which arc kept locked, but whose up right pieces arc sufficiently wide apart to ad mit the enquiring gaze of the curious. Up , on*the stone which covers tho sarcophagus i is chiseled the simple name, “Washing ton and on your loft, covered with equal , simplicity, are the remains of Mrs. Wash . ingfon. f There is an absence of everything like ! pomp or magnificence connected with the tomb. No tall pyramid or “ proudly waving banner” directs the passing traveler to it; but he who visits Mount Vernon will find that Washington sleeps in almost the very simplicities of nature. Small trees bend over his dust, and tall briars growing in tho enclosure, lift their heads above its walls. Leaving this spot and going in tiie direc tion of the house, I*mct a servant who sold walking-canes to those who wished sncli me morials of Mount Yernon. He gave me di rection to tho old vault, and after going some distance along an over-grown path, found it . almost fij|pd with fallen 1 oaves<md the crum bling of its stones. Following tiie same rudo pathway, my next nearest object was a neat little buil ding close to the river,’ (but altnfcgra hun dred feet abovo it,) which I fouud had nice ly arranged seats, aud well situated for ma king observations on the river.. It certainly looked inviting, nqd I thought tliat its old owner might have hero spent some of his happiest moments iu that retirement iu wlpcli his own; volition placed , him. Beneath this building* is a pit for keeping ice. I next went to the mansion itself, and. Be ing the usual day for visitors, tho rooms that were most convenient •were of ready* access. On entering,the hall, the first object which strikes your attention is a larger curious looking key, which was presented to Wash ington by Ei Fayette. This is “The key of tho|hp>tl6)jan,d from its assocmtkms^s^Bn- The rooms nppcareJTneat, and ctlntaib a number of pictures, the general design of which are events of the revolution. We were shown the camp booh ol the General, which A I-’ ■ ■'■• ■’ *’ contains, on one pfljge, amounts received from U. 8. Congress, and on the other, their cred it. There is commanding iu tho ap pearance of the house, but it is characterised by an refinement and loveliness more satisfactory in its naturo than if of more stately appearance. Therein plainly observable, even now, in its neglected state { a pleasing quietude per vading tho enthe jplae6:'“GrisM grow# with wild luxuriance, and uncultivated flowers spot the yard, while tho over-grown walks and tho continual hum of the wild bee all serve to remind you of the forsaken condi tion of Mount Vernon. Washington sleeps in humble retirement. The bird sines its sweet song above him, and the waves break gently on the shore beneath him, while the soft tread and almost hushod voice of tho pilgrim, ns ho comes to stand beside his dust, scarce servo to break tho stillness which sur rounds his tomb. H. From Harper’s New Monthly. LAGER SEEK VS. ABSENT SPIRITS. The officers of one of the Arctic expedi tions report having seen an Esquimaux child leave its mother’s breast to smoko a pipe.—- Ilad ho been a Belgian baby lie would nave taken a hearty swig of swipe* before he commenced his fumigation. I often see chil dren tugging at tho beer-pot tboy are scarce ly able to handle; and boys of a dozen years habitually visit the saloons to drink. Ob Sunday and fete-day nights all ages and conditions flock to the saloons to hear gay music and drench themselves with lager. I have seen of a Sunday night more than a thousand persons in one saloon, well-dressed ladies and gentlemen, gossiping, drinking, and smoking for hours in an atmosphere thicker than a Jersey fog. Indeed, so uni versal is this beer-drinking practice that tlioy seem not to know that any thing else might serve as a bovefago. One day in Antwerp I asked if they had good water thore. A sitting near me, with lngcr-pot in hand, promptly answered, “Oh yes, excellent water, all tho Englishmen that come hero bring such gray, dirty shirts, out once or twice washing here brings then as white as milk.” A stevedore clo<c by. seeing by my countenance that my question was not fully answered, undertook to net the matter right by saying, “Oh yes, wc have first rate water, only that some times hi winter it gets so hard on top that the ves nelulSin’t go at all, then cornea tight times for all us commercial people.” The landlady (who is also cook and barmaid,) corrected the ignorant, uncivil persons —“it was not the river-water, nor the sea water that the gentleman was inquiring after at nil, but it i wa§ the well-water that he wished to know i about,” and proceeded to inform the gentle man that it was the very nicest water in .the ; known world, aud made the nicest soap (just by adding a little beef, and cabbage, and turnips mid potatoes, and a few such lit tle things) that ever a gentleman partook of. ’ But the gentleman himself corrected and startled the whole company (as much as so heavy a company could be startled,) by ask ing, •• Was it good to drink?” Kach heavy head swung slowly upon its heavy shoulders, each heavy eye was aimed directly at the quicrist’s face and stretched wide open with stark astonishment. At such a crisis only the landlord had worth to offer. “That im portant ahd heaviest individual of them all —he who seldom deigned to make long speeches —whose placid nature was, seldom ruffled—-who deemed it pious to drink and smoke, and who devoutly followed the path of duty—he who, saturated like a sponge, swelled from the topmost bristle to the tips of his toes with honest lager—he whoso favor I had assiduously coiirffcd atid whoso resplen dent face had bpgun to beam benignly o’er my foreign faults—now turned upon me looks of pity aud contempt; and, stretching the doubled chin full half an inch abovo his massive ciicst, in his sharpest tones demand ed, “To what ?” then feeling that ho had full well resented the serious insult to bis profession and his country, he slowlv turned upon his broad, flat heels, elevated Ids pon derous elbow, a connecting spring turned up bis face, his jaw dropped down, his eye roll ed up, a short faint gurgle, a long-drawn sigh, and he glanced serenely through the bottom of a large glass tumbler. But I nev er regained the great man’s esteem, nor do I, to ibis day, know whether the wntdr of Belgium is fit to drink. 4. ‘■iu..*,’ Notwithstanding their constant guzzling, 1 was ten days among Belgian drinkers before I saw a man so drunk that he could not walk erect and treat one ho met— which proves it, though an unseemly prac tice, yet a safer ono than drinking whisky Kince Noah left the ark and the sons of Noah raised up new cities, each new-formed nation has found some'new stimulant; hut no one among the list of findings at onco so wholesome, cheap, and harmless as Bel-, gian beer,* and 1 Jook upon its iptrodqction into the United States as an important refor matory movement* Temperance, total ab stinence, W ashingtonian, and other reforms havg had their day and arc forgotten, and the current year secs more destruc tion than any former ono has done.

Woiidn’t I set the beaver hatted population an exam ple of brilliaut perfection. Wouldn’t I make myself generally agreeable among all the ladies, and talk to ’em as it they bad souls above bonnets! What a glorious msn I should make. I wouldn’t stand on the hotel stepe and puff clouds of villainous tobacco smoke into the eyes of all tho-pretty girls that go past, nor spit on the pavement to spoil their little shoes and injure their tempera. I wouldn’t set my huge heels down on the trains of their silken dresses, to tear ’em half off, and I think, I'm not quito sure, but I think —l’d knock down the first brute who dared complain of the circumferroneo of their garaenfs. And when they come into a car or omni bus, I wouldn't stick my nose into a newspa per, or look abstractly out of the window, or get up grumbling. “Always tho way with women !.” Not a bit of it! I’d spring like a patent India rubber, and if tbo old batch olor on tho right hand side, and the spruce clerk on the left hand side, didn’t compress themselves into tho least possible space tol make room for the crinolines, I'd know the reason why! And then when I got married (for to what end was I created, if not to pay the millin er's bills of some blessed little hit of woman hood !) wouldn’t I make a model husband.— I)o you snpposo I would bother her sweet’ life out of her, hy grumbling because a paltry button had dropped off a shirt” collar, or a string off a dickey ? Do you think I’d ex plodo like a campheue lamp every time 1 found a rip in my glove or mako a fool of myself by stooping to any such littleness. I wouldn’t consult the almanac every time she bought anew bonnet, to see just how many weeks she had worn tbo old oue; and I wouldn’t snarl like a cross tiger-cat whenever the coffee happened to be cold of the heafateak raw, just as if I wanted her to abase herself in dust and ashes; and burn up her rosy little face beforo the kitchen fir# while I sat with my hods on the table read ing the paper, in the next room. I use profane language when she asked mo to buttou up her sweet gaiter boots, or fasten her gloves, or eves to carry her parcels down Broadway, on a rainy day—which last I consider to bo an infallible test of patience aud meeknes^**” I would’nt gorge myself with wine, and • oysters, and segars at a fashionable down town restaurant, while my wife dined at home on cold mutton, and then look as black; as an overcharged thaudercloud, when tho gro cer’s “little bill” came in. I wouldn't spend a small fortune in diamond shirt-studs, ex travagant broadcloth and fancy canes, and then mutter about “ hard times,” when she ventured to ask me for half a dollar to hay check for the baby’s apron? And I rather think I’d go shopping with her, too, when she hinted to that effect, in stead of inventing excuses about Smith, Brown, or the club—aye, and pay her biHs, too, without screwing up my mouth like I had tho cramp in my face. Arid If she look ed iuto a shop whitlow and admired a thirty dollar collar, I’d walk straight in and buy it for berrinstcAd of feigning to be absorbed in the signs opposite, and “ forgetting to hear” what she said. # When I came home at niglit I wouldn’t make a bear of myself, behind the evenin'* paper, arid answer savagely, when she timid ly ask what I was reading, “ women can't understand politics.” No, indeed ! 1 would read her all the anecdotes, ptay with the children, pull the pussy’s ears and tell her how becoming her new silk was. That’s the way to keep the women good natnred, take my word for it, and what prettier sight is there in all the world than a good humored woman I Mind, I don't ask the incorrigible old bachelors;. first, because it isn't any of their business, and second, because thpy are not judges of the article. But put the ques tion to any sensible fellow between the ngc* of eighteen and twenty-eight, and sea what bo'll say. * I’d make n point of always asking my wife's advice before I went to vote, and do ing just as she said about it—then I'd he sure to be always right. And if any bachel or friend of mine had tho impudence to ask mo to an oyster supper, without including my wife in the invitation, do yoq suppose I’d go ? Astc my mother-in-law about that. I wouldn’t- go to evoning parties, -and flirt desperately with other ladies, and talk about “ my’ poor, dear wife, whoso ill health. prccJudj|d her enjoy moot of Society,” when I knew very well she was sitting alone at homo with tho-cat, and crying her cyfJb olt over one of* my ragged old coats.* Good gracious ‘ what a wide field for im provement there is among tho benighted sons of Adam.
