Woman.
As the dove will clap its wings tp its
side and cover and conceal the arrow
that is preying on its vitals, so it is the
nature of women to hide from the
world the pangs of wounded affection.
With her the desire of the heart has
failed. The great charm of existence
is at an end, neglects all the
cheerful exercise that gladdens the
spirits, quicken t)fe pulse, and send
the tide of life in -healthful currents
through the veips. Her rest is bro
ken ; the sweet refreshment of sleep is
poisoned by melancholy dreams, “ dry
sorrow drinks her blood, ” until her
feeble frame sinks under the least ex
ternal assailant. Look for her after a
little while, and you find friendship
weeping qver her unbimelj’- grave, and
wondering that one who but lately
glowed with all the radiance of health
and beauty, should now be brought
down to “ darkness and the
worm. ” You will he told of some
wintry ohjll, spine slight indisposition
that laid her low, but no one knows
the mental malady that previously sap
ped her strength, and made her so ea
sy a prey to the spoiler,— Washington
Irving.
Jefferson and Knox.
Mr. Jefferson’s great height and
slender figure exposed him to much
ridicule from his opponents. His so
briquet with them was “ Long
Tom ; ” and when his famous project
of the substitution of gun-boats in
place of a navy was adopted by Con
gress, and the attempt was made to
put it into practice, the cannon, dispro
portionably large, with which each of
the ill-constructed craft was burdened,
obtained, in contempt, the name of a
“ Long Tom. ” Nothing could pre
sent a more singular contrast than the
figures of Mr. Jefferson and General
Knox—the one very short, as thick as
he was long ; the other lank and lean,
and unusually tall. They happened
to meet one morning on the steps of
General Washington’s lodging, in
Philadelphia. The two gentlemen ap
proached contrariwise, and arriving at
the same moment, a contest in etiqeutte
took place. The general at the head
pf the army, and oi its chivalrous po
liteness, could not think of passing in
bpfore the co-equal head of the De
partment of State, while the civil offi
cer of government was equally adverse
to take precedence of the military;
and they stood for some moments,
each drawing back and waving the
other forward. In the midst of this
somewhat entertaining scene came up,
directly in front, the notorious Judge
Peters, the greatest wit of his day.—
Perceiving how matters stood, and
casting a sly glance from one to the
other, he pushed boldly between them,
exclaiming as he passed.—“ Pardon
me, gentlemen, if in my haste I dash
through thick and thin."
