The life of Queen Elizabeth, called by her subject the good Queen Bess, is deserving ot particular study, as she is generally admitted to have been the most popular, at the same time the moat des potic of British sovereigns. She was born at Greenwich, on 7th September, 1533. She was the daughter of Henry VII, by Anne Boieyn, and her position in reference to the descent of the throne was peculiar, since the accession of her sis ter, Mary, conveying the inference that Henry’s marriage to Catharine of Arragon was valid, ren dered the issue of the second marriage illegiti mate. An act had, however, been passed in Hen ry’s reign, which, fortunately, perhaps, cut the knot by settling the crown on the two princesses successively. During the reign < f her brother, King Edward, she spent a very happy life, follow ing her natural disposition for hard study, and not only acquiring many accomplishtnents, but practically applying them to the acquisition of a profound knowledge of mankind. During the reign of her sister, the scene changed, and she un derwent five uneasy years of difficulty and dan ger. Her conduct was marked by extreme sa gacity, courage and caution. She proved thaj heradherance to the principles of the ref .rmation was not so much in her mind a matter of essential belief, as of preference between a good system and a bad system, for she submitted in some measure to the ritual of Rome. Ou the other hand, when we know the extreme rigidness of Mary’s bigot ry, it is necessary to believe that nothing but a considerable amount of sisterly affection could have prevented her from sacrificing one who was likclv so far to undo all that she had herself done at ihe sacrifice of so many lives. Queen Elizabeth’s accession to the throne dates from 17th Novem ber, 1558. Her glorious reign is a matter of histo ry. A contrast to that which followed, it was marked alike by prudence and decision. The eclesiastical revolution, which every one saw must follow her accession, went on so gradually, and at the same time so distinctly, that the Romidi hie rarchy had abandoned their cause, before it was finally decided against them. A main character of her reign is, that from the first she chose wise advisers, and thro’all her personal caprices, kept them to the end. Another eminent feature of her policy was to yvHtch the growth of disQqnpqts and appease them ere they become dangerous.— Thus, when such complaints as shook the throne in the next reign, and over turned it in that of Charles, began faintly to appear, she stepped for ward and redressed the grievances as from ber own princely beneficence to her suppliant people, and hence she preserved her prerqgatQty untar pished, while she appeased discontent. How far sovereigns of such ability are advantageous to a free country may be questioned. England cer tainly never came so near to arbitrary power as in her reign. With all her political capacity, her personal feelings were signally preposterous.— Her desire to be considered lovely, and to be loved, approached a monomania. She appears to have had a singularly unpleasing aspect for a wo man—harsh features, a rough, yellow skip, dim eyes, an irascible, indented mouth, and sandy hair, yet no one could too grossly flatter her beauty, and it was impossible to make a portrait with the slightest degree of truth which she could tolerate. Sir Walter Raleigh speaks of “the pictures of Queen Elizabeth, made by unskillful and com m m painters, which, by her own commandment, were knocked in pieces and cast in'q the fire.” On more than one occasion she was allowed, and al lowed herself, to exult in the notion that she wa< the object of the despairiug love of her servants — but she never permitted either vaifftv or affec tion to disturb the policy of her reign. To the jealousy arising out of her pecu iar weakness, we may attribute the great blot on her name—hex harshness to Mary, of Scotland. It has now been proved that she distinctly indicated how good a service she would count it, secretly ;o put the cap live out of the way ; and it is credkabfe to the English public men of the day, that none of them would take her hint as a'warrant “to break inm the bloody house of life.” Elizabeth understood, as well as Napoleon, the, arts necessary for gaining popularity. * When the invasion of the Spanish Armada was impending she visited the army assembled at Tilbury, ap pearing on horsi-back, riding through the lines and speakiffg to the soldiers. The efilet of her harangue was commensurate with the soundjudg ment, and consumate knowledge of mankind which dictated such a display. The tenderness of Elizabeth’s heart is popularly believed to have been the immedi ate cause of her death. Her favorite, the Earl of E-sex, had been tried, and very justly condemned tor high treason. While he was high ip fayor with the Queen, she had given him a ring, as a pledge of her affection and had accompanied the gft with a promise that, in whatever disgrace he might a 1, or what ever prejudices she might he induced to enter tain against him by his enemies, he might de pend upon her for forgiveness, if he produced that ring. lu his final extremity, Essex resolved to try the efficacy of this precious gift, and he com raitted it to the Countess of Nottingham, to de liver to the Queen. But the hu-band of the Countess, an enemy of Essex, persuaded her to retain the ring. Elizabeth imputed his supposed omission to send it, to Essex’s pride and assented to bis execution. After the execution of the earl the Countess of Nottingham being on her death bed, sent for the Queen, to reveal to her a se cret, without disclosing which, she could not die in peace. W r hen the Queen entered her appart raent she presented Essex’s ring, related the pur pose for which she had received it, and begged for giveness of her crime. All Elizabeth’s affection returned, all her rage was roused. “God may forgive you, but I never can,” she Cried, as she shook the dying Countess in her bed. ‘ She then rushed out of the robin. Few and miserable, af ter this discovery, were the days us Elizabeth.— Her spirit Was utterly depressed. Her heart was broken, and existence became a burden. She died ’ ’eR the 24th, of March, 1603. wm |3Y*lf two hogsheads make a pipe, how many will make a cigar CTJ ™‘2 PENFIELD, GA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1857. Char aster of Washington. A subscriber of the National Intelligencer sends that paper the subjoined eulogium upon the char acter of Washington, extracted from the London Monthly Magazine for February, 1800. It de erves to be placed in the appendix of Mr. Eve rett’s celebrated oration, which has already been delivered in the presence of so large a number of admiring audiences, and we trust, he will continue to lepeat until He shall have given a por tion at least of the citizens of every State in onr still united country an opportunity of listening to it from his own eloquent lips : Washington. —ln the London Monthly Maga zine, for February, 1800, under the head of •Deaths Abroad,” we find the following eulogium on the character of the late Gen. George Wash ington : , “Died, on the December, at his residence in Virginia, in the 68ih year of his age, George Washington, late President of the United States of America—a man superior to all the titles which arrogance or servility have invented for the decoration of hereditary rank. He was one who seemed expressly formed by Providence for the mighty work of establishing the independence ofa people which may one day delight the philanthro pist with the view of as great an asse üblage of freemen as Europe now contains of slaves. “His firm mind, adapted to all circumstances of fortune, equally inaccessible to the flatteries of hope and the suggestions of despair, was kept steady by the grand principles of pure love to his country and a r-liyious attachment to moral duty. He was one of those truly great men who can be cod without ph egm, dispas.-ionate without-indif ference—who, intent upon an important end, are little moved by die vicisuudes and fluctuations in the means which lead to it. In him even fan-* glo- ry, reputation were subordinate considerations to the successful performance of the high task assign ed him ; and he could without impatience w*i for that reward of public applause and gratitude which was ail he desired for services beyond the power of estimate. Ip hsjs character was renewed all the qualities we most admire in the noble t names c-f antiquity. Tiinoleon, Aristides, Cqqffl lus, Fabius. did not surpass bjrn in fortitude, pru dence, di'iuiprestedness and integrity. No one ever more effectually united decisive thinness with that lenity which flows- from true benevo lence No one ever passed through the ordeal of power and influence more free from the remotest .suspicion of selfish and ambitious designs. “To have passed unsulqed through such a ca reer of glory and usefulness is so high and rare a blessing that regret for his loss will probably, in those nxmds warmed by a sense of exalted vir tues, be sunk in the satisfaction of seeing anoth er illustrious name placed beyond all danger q/ hu man infirmity .” —-r •• Blossoms. In the economy of nature, there are often blos soms without fruit. Some of the marvels of the floral world exhaust, in the lavishness of their beauty, and the improvidence of their fragrance, the strength of the stems which bear them, and tlie petals drop, and the stems wither together.— Yet we loved these flowers better than the others. Their brief life was a reign of glory. They charm ed the finer senses, they purified the grosser tastes, they till and the soul of her who tended them with biiuvniug delight, and led the heart to Him who is the Author of Beauty, So there are hu man blossoms—born, let us believe, to be blos soms, and blossoms only—borrr to expend, in the beauty and fr .grance of childhood, the life we would gladly see continued into the rounded and ripe fruit of manhood or womanhood, and to grow mellow where they hang, among the soft Autumnal days of age. But they burst in bloom they gladden us, they touch all the deep springs of tenderness within us, they shine like lamps at our side, casting their liglit in golden bars into our future, and then they fall, leaving us grop ing,''stumbling, weeping, despairing. But these human blossoms—not prematurely ffffeu, but, as blossoms, fully perfected—have their mission. In the period of their bloom, how have they sweetened the life of father, mother, brother, and trend ! What music have they made in the heart j What rewards have their sweet beauty and ten der prattle bestowed upon toil ! What lesssons of patience and self-control have they t ught to the hasty tongue and band ! What stirauious have they given to the failing form of labor ? What blessings have they been all the time—giving sweetness and significance to life by t eir count less innocent nib istries! Do their ministries fail when they fall ? Do they not go forth and beckon from afar ? We grieve— we weep ; but blessed be he who can •so far interpret the painful text of Providenee, as to perceive that grief and tears are charged with the most sacred office. From this time, how deep down into the vailey of sorrow will our hearts sympathetically follow the stricken and afflicted ! How warm a smile shall we have for other chil dren ! How our ambitions, our strifes, our struggles our disappointments, wiil all be softened by the memory of’that pale little face—the living echoes of that sweet little voice—dlfe recollection of that charming smile ! That little blossom —so weak, so fragrant, so beautiful —has softened, elevated, and irradiated a whole life. Oh, there is a bless- ing in the blossom blooming, blessing in the bias ring. We shall know this some time —we know it now, How can the journey after this be oth erwise than pleasant, with a faith within us sweet er than knowledge, and belter assurance, that an angel awaits out* coming at the end ? How ean we do otherwise than seek the place where,-trans planted aud immortalized in beauty, theb'osdhfci’ will be all feckless and fragrant former field Republican. *♦ . Jones denies positively that women are angers, and proves it by refere tce to Bib ical re search ; “for,” says he, “if women were angel*, Noah’s wife would have doubtless been referred to a an Ark-anjjel, which she was not l” Warmly Enough. “ ‘They cannot imagine,’ says Mr. Fortune, ‘how the Europeans can exist with the thm clothing they generally go about in. When the weatheo was cold, I used always to wear a stout, warm great coat above my other dress, and yet the Chi. nese were continually feeling the thickness of nn clothes, and telling me that surely I must feel cold. Their mode of keeping themselves comfortable in winters differs entirely from ours. They rarely or never think of using fires iu their rooms for this purpose, but as the cold increases, they just put on another jacket or two, until they feel that the warmth of their bodies is not carried off faster than it is generated. As the raw, damp cold of morning gives way to the genial rays of noon, the upper coats are one by one thrown off until even ing, when they are again put on. In the spring months, the upper garments are cast off by de grees, and, when the Bummer arrives, the Chinese are found clad in their dresses of cotton, or in the grass-cloth manufactured in the country. In the northern towns, the ladies sometimes use a small brass 6tove, hke a little oval basket, having .tb<- lid grated, to allow the charcoal to burn and the heat to escape; this they place upon their tables or on the floor, for the purpose of warming then hands and feet. Nurses also carry those little stoves in their hands, under the feet of the chil dren. Such, however, is the thickness and warmth of their dresses, that it is only in the coldest weath er they require them. Little children, in whiter, are so covered up that they look like bundles of clothes, nearly as broad as they are long; and when the padding is removed in warm weather, i is difficult to imagine that you see before you tin same individuals.’ “The prodigality of clothing is rendered th more necessary by the aversion of the Chin—xx •f which Mr. Hue speaks, for ‘gymnastic prome nades.’ The most pa ient, industrious, and pe> severing of mankind, where there is an object t he gamed, exeriion without profit is a notion the} cannot comprehend. To watch Europeans re. re ffi"g themselves, by pacing U p and down with th activity of travellers hurrying to a goal, is a spec taole which raises in them the same emotion with which Cowper contemplated the barren spec ulations of philosophical theories ; “ ‘Defend me, therefore, common-sense, say I, From reveries so airy, from the toil Os dropping buckets into empty wells, And growing old in and awing nothing up.’ “Mr. Fortune and some English friends, who went up the country by canal from Ningpo, wer accustomed to get out from the boat, when tire< with sitting, and walk awhile upon the bank, ‘fe it not strange, 1 they heard a Chinese say. ‘tlxa these people prefer walking when they have boat as well as ourselves ?’ ” A Glass of Brandy. It can’t hurt any body ! Why, I know a per son, yonder he is now, a specimen of man!) t eauly, a portly six-footer. He has the bearing of a prince, for he is one of our merchant prin ces. His face wears the hue of health, and now at the age of fifty odd, he has the quick, elastic step of our young men of twenty-five, and none more full of mirth and wit than he, and I kno* he never dines without brandy and water, and never goes to bed without a terrapin or oyster supper, with plenty of champagne; and more than that, he was never known to be drunk.— So here is a living example and disproof of the temperance twaddle about the dangerous nature ot an occasional glass, and the destructive effect of a temperate use of good liquors. Now it so happened that this specimen of safe brandy drinking, was a relation of ours. He died in a year or two after that, of chronic diar rhoe, a common end of those who are never drunk, nor even out of liquor. He left his six children ; and he had ships at every sea and credit at every counter, whioh lie never had occasion to use. For months before he died—be was a year in dying—he could eat or drink nothing without dis tress, anil at death, the whole alimentary canal was a mass of disease; in the midst of his millions, he died of inanimation. That is not the half, reader. He bad been a steady drinker, a daily drinker for twenty eight years. He left a legacy to bis chil dren, which h ■ did not mention. Scrofula had eaten up one daughter for fifteen years; anothe> is in the mad-house; the third and fourth of un healthy beauty, there was a kind of grandeur in that beauty * and they blighted, and paled and faded into heaven we trust in their sweetest teens; another is totterering on the verge of the grave, and only one is left with ail the senses, and each of them is weak as water. Why, we caine from the dissecting room, and made a note of it, it was so horrible.— Halls Journal of Health. The Land of Barns. Mr. Baird, the lord of the hills, made sacred by the genius of Robert Burns, has devised a plan by which his name shall be handed down to posterity along with that of the great bard. In a straDge fashion has this been done. All who have made a pilgrimage to Ayrshire,and the thou sands who have not, know that Burns’ monument, is the most refreshing and pleasing object m the bright scenes with which it is indissolubly associa ted. If it is a pleasure to Englishmen, it is one of the dearest things in the heAfs of Scotchmen. Mr Baird grasp fame in thiß fasnion ; Some time ago he signified his intention of giving a sire for the erection of a church at AUoway, and the spot he has chosen is just that which, when built upon will block out Burns monument from various at tractive view points on the leading thoroughfare from Ayr. Half of this screen of stone and mor tar is already up, and to a certain extent it effects that obstruction which will be complete when the edifice is finished. Never did church benefactor or church itself receive so many blesssings. They are heard on all hands, and the whole of Scotland bids fair to be up on the question The newspa p rs, foremost of which is the Ayrshire Express, heve raised their broadsheets age ins t the com pie fciun of this piece of modern vandalism, and pub lie meetings are being held in various places.— On Thursday, at a large and influential meeting held nt Ayr, the speakers including Mr, Robert Chambers and the Rev. George Gilfilien, a com oi'tee wae appointed for the purpose of using their influence with the promoters of the church to in luce them to choose a less objectionable site.

When mur uuring against their God and their faithful leader, they exclaimed : Is the Lord omong us, or not ? How joyfully the mother raises her fainting child, and bears him to the stream. How eagerly the •atxle fl >ck to allay their thirst in the waters which flow in mighty streams, where all before was oarched and desolate. And how must their hearts nave swelled with gratitude to Him who gave them his sweet refreshment. There was an abundance or all, there was no exhausting of the cool, flow ng fountain, which came from the rock. “They hank of that spiritual Rock that followed them,” laid the apostle “and that rock was Christ.”— \Vhst can this mean? Not that the flinty rock vas like the gracious and loving .Saviour, but was a type of him, to set forth the fulness and freeness of his salvation. What the flowing waters were to the thirsty Israelitds, is his salvation to us all.— The fountain still flows for Gentiles as weli as lews, in rich abundance from the same smitten ttock, wnose waters gladdened the hearts of the Israelites, for “that rock was Christ.”— Boston Ol ive Branch. Story of Incledon. — We remember a sfory of Incledon, the once fa mot s vocalist, that fits “an af fair of honor” most cap tally. P.ror Tncledon was ne of the unsophisticated, and sa-d an did a great many thb gs out of sheet simplicity that had been much better left unsaid and undone. Some thing of this k'nd gave ff nee to a gentleman with whom Incledon happened to tall in company, and the offended partv resolved upon satisfaction. He sought out the S Dger, accordingly, and was lucky enough to find him enjoying his bottle of port, one fine afternoon, at a noted hotel. “Mr. Incledon,” says the waiter, “a gentlemau wishes to you, sir,” “Show him up, t‘e ,” says Incle don. “Sir,” said the visitor in a toweling pass 1 on, ‘ I’m tt Id that you have been making free with ny name, in a very improper manner, and I have ■*>me to demand satisfaction.” After some par leying, Incledon rose, put on his bat, and planting himself on oneside of the room, began warbling Biack-eved Susan, in bis most delicious style.— When he bail finished, “There, sir,” said he, “that has given complete satisfaction to seveial thou sands, and if you want ; nytbing more, I’ve only to sav, you’re the most unreasonable fellow I ev er met with.” Barnum once Afore. —The Stamford (Conn.)
