I've onhM moment to gireyou, dear Harry, And to drop you this nit of a note, Which the Captain has promised to carry Direct by the four o'clock boat.

I'll answer your letter, my Julia, For I can take oath yon arc mine; Its tenor is coolly peculiar. Though perfectly plain to define. Its news wan WcstaTled bv a rnmor. That some friend was so kind as to bring. And it put me at first out of humor, And up to unorthodox things. I bated, you see, to surrender What gave me snch capital fun, But I went on a regular liender, ' M AM bent myself straight.

girl. I have made it a crime to refuse to love my unhappy son, but his present conduct shows that she was right. She had been forewarned of the brutal na nature - ture nature of, his instincts ' and foresaw the lightness of his character. Xow that lie is no longer worthy of her, she will no longer Tear that I nm come to torment her into accepting his name. I will ask her to sustain and console me, and, since he lias left me alone in my despair, he shall blush to know that, 'after having sacrificed my entire life to an ungrate ungrateful - ful ungrateful son, 1 have been forced to die under the roof and in the arms of her whom I had looked upon as my mortal enemy." ' 'My mother spoke for a long time in this tone, not hesitating to think and say everything that could lacerate an already wounded heart. 1 was crushed. I had not a word to say in my defense, and the exaggerated character of her reproaches deprived me of the hope of calming her by my answer. Besides, I felt profound profoundly - ly profoundly humiliated to be so treateii in the presence of Mile. Merquein. , It did not seem to me that my mother was so seri seriously - ously seriously ill as she pretended, for she spoke with energy under her attack of fever, and Celie had not the appearance of one who was expecting a fatal crisis. She was. standing aside, in a sad and thought thoughtful - ful thoughtful attitude, as if she were endeavoring to find some means of settling matters on a more truthful basis. She was, in fact, thinking of this, for she interrup interrupted - ted interrupted my mother courteously to beg her to he calm, and let her have a moment's in interview - terview interview with me. She called Bellac and Old Bertha, recommending them to give theSnvftliil n soothing drink that she had prepared, and then made a sign to me and we descended to the garden. ! " 'Is my mother, then, in danger?' I said to her as soon as we were alone. " 'For the moment, no,' she answered. 'Her nerves are irritated, and if I have permitted her to speak to you in my piieseae s she has; done, it is because tiie agitation of sick persons must not be repressed too abruptly, as you know yourself, who have so often' seen the bodily and mental sufferings of my grand-father, and who have so often as assisted - sisted assisted me in judiciously relieving them. But you are a man, and it is very neces necessary - sary necessary that you should know the truth.

when my host said, with a laugh, '"Look out! there is Dr. MeClellan ;" and with that the distinguishd surgeon came bus bustling - tling bustling in. The defeat ef Mr. Clay was still "keenly felt by the Whigs, though my generous and genial friend, McMichael, did not allow his hospitality to be less because I had opposed him. But Dr. MeClellan could not restrain his feelings. He held Buchanan responsible for the vote of Pennsylvania, and, though most courteous to me, did not spare the Wheatland leader. We soon got over our little difference, however, and closed the controversy in a glass of wine. The Doctor possessed rare traits. Abounding in anecdote and information, he was an unrivaled wit and conversationalist. His son. Dr. J. II. B. MeClellan, and his grandson, young Dr. George, lioth in fine practice in Philadelphia, have inher inherited - ited inherited his high professional skill, and in a considerable degree his lively and viva vivacious - cious vivacious nature. There is a well-known physician in Washington, Dr. J. '. Hall, who relates many incidents of the public men he has attended in his long and brilliant expe experience. - rience. experience. At the head of his profession,: he attained old age almost without an en enemy. - emy. enemy. 1 know no man more universally beloved. A happy temperament, fine manners, and a thorough scholar, his sketches of the leading characters of oth other - er other days would make a charming volume if he would write them out. Fond of polite literature and of cultivated people he is almost out of practice, and may be said to live among his friends and his iiooks. He, too, was an "Old Line Whig" and shared the feelings, if not the prej prejudices, - udices, prejudices, of Dr. MeClellan, whom he knew and admired, especially as he was a grad graduate - uate graduate of Jefferson College, Philadelphia. Dr. Hall has known the leaders of both, in fact of all, the great parties, and was frequently consulted by them. He at attended - tended attended General Jackson on several occa occa-sioes, - sioes, occa-sioes, though not his family physician. It is one of the Doctor's peculiarities that he does not trouble himielf with money matters, and is careless about collecting his fees. Once, however, during a tem temporary - porary temporary absence, his clerk made out some bills, and among others sent one to the President. On his return the Doctor
