The morning of the 5th of December, 1783, was a sad and heavy one to the rem nant of the American army in the city of New I oi It. lhenoonof that day was to witness the farewell of Washington he was to bid adieu to his military comrades for forever. - ever. forever. The officers who had been with him in solemn council, the private who had fought and bled in the "heavy fight," under his orders, were to hear his commands no long longer. - er. longer. - The manly form and dijjnitied counte nance oi the "great captain wasiiencetorth to live in their memories. As the hour of toon approached, the whol? garrison, at the request of Washing Washing-ion - ion Washing-ion himself, was put in motion, and marched down Broad street to Francis's tavern, his headquarters. He wished to take leave of private aoldiers, alike with officers, and bid them all adieu. ' His favoriUi light infantry were drawn up in line facing inwards, through Pearl street, at the fool of White Whitehall, - hall, Whitehall, where a barge was in readiness to con convey - vey convey him to Powell's hook. Within the (lining room "of the tavern were gathered the generals and field officers, to taka their farewell. ' - v Assembled there were Knox, Greene, Clinton, Steuben, Gates, mid others, who had served with him faithfully and truly in the "tented, field;" but alas! where were others that had entered the war with him seven years before? " Their bon99 crumbled in the soil from Canada to Georgia. Mont Montgomery - gomery Montgomery had yielded np his life ,at Quebec, VV ouster fell at Uiinbur, Woodhullwas bar barbarously - barously barbarously murdered while a prisoner at the battle on Long Island, and Mercer fell mor mortally - tally mortally wounded at Princeton; the brave and chivalric Laurens, aftr uisplaying the most heroic courage in the tronches of York town, died in a trill ng skirmish in South Carolina; the brave but eccentric Lee was no longer living, mid Putnam, like a Mpless child, was stretched upon the bed of sickness. " In Indeed, - deed, Indeed, the battle-livid and time had thinned the ranks which entered with him on the conflict of independence. . Whushingtun entered the room thu hour of separation had come. As he raised his eye and glanced on the faces of those as assembled, - sembled, assembled, a tear co'irsed down his cheek, and Ins vjice was tremulous as he salutated them Nor was he alone. Men, "albeit unused to the melting mood," stood around hinVwhosu hands uplifted to cover their brows, told that the tears, which they in vain attempted to conceal, bespoke the anguish they could not hide. , . After a moment's conversation, Washing Washington - ton Washington called for a glass of wine. ,It was brought to him. Turning to the officers, ho ihuj iiddressi'd'.-them: t - "With a heart full of love and gratitude, I now take my final leave of you, and 1 most devmitedly wish your latter day may be as prosperous and happy as your former orn-s have been glorious and honorable." lie then raised the glass to his lips, and' added, "I cannot como to ea"h of you to take my leave, but shall be obliged to you if each of you will take me by the hand. General Knox, who stood nearest, burst into tears, and advanced, incapable of utter utterance. - ance. utterance. Washington grasped him by , the hand, and embraced him. The officers came up successively, and tojk an affection affectionate - ate affectionate leave. . No words Were spokin, but all was the "silent elfganco of tearj." What w-ire mere , words at.such a scene? Nolh- ing. It was the feeling of the heart thrill- j ing though unspoken. When the last officer had embraced him, j Washington left the roo n, followed by his comrades, and p-issed through the lino of light infantry. Jlis step was alow and meas measured, - ured, measured, his head uncovered, and tears flowing thick and fast, as he looked from side to side at the veterns to whom he now bade adieu forever. Shortly an event occurred more touching than all the rest. A gigantic soV dier who had stood by his side at Trenton, stepped forth from the ranks, and extended his hand: ' "Farewell, my beloved general, farewell." "' Washington grasped his hand, in convul convulsive - sive convulsive emotion in both of his. All discipline was now at an end, The officers could not restrain the men as they rushed forward to take Washington by the hand, and the vio violent - lent violent sobs and tears of the soldiers told how deeply engraved upon their affections was the love of their commander. , ' ' 1 At length Washington reached the barge at Whltehill, and entered it. At the first stroke of the oars he rose, ; and turning to the Companions of his glory, by wa"1ug his hat,' bade them a silent adieu. ' Their an; swer, was (jnly iti tears; and the officers and men; with glistening eyes, watched the re receding - ceding receding boat lill live form of their nobje com commander - mander commander was lost sight of jn the distance.

One of the most extraordinary cases that it ever befell 'Squire Parsons to investigate came under his notice this morning- It. was as follows: Mrs Gertrude Koliier, a lady of 'German extraction, was charged with making a small arithmetical mistake by retaining two husbands nioro than the regular and legal allowance. Mrs. Kqhler was married to Christopher Pheltz,' in " Es Es-perance, - perance, Es-perance, Schoharie, County some five rears ago, she removed to Schoharie Court House, forgetting to take her husband among her other baggage, and in a very short time she contrbuted a matrimonial alliance witha man named Michael Gephard.- 'Oncemore remove," as Hamlet says and we find her in this city Messrs, Pheltz and Gephard a a-bantoned - bantoned a-bantoned and forgotten, and the capricious lady in matrimonial copartnership, with Ja Jacob - cob Jacob Kohler. We have it on philospphical authority, that "three removes are as bad as a tire," and so they are undoubtedly, if an additional husband is taken wi;h" every change of locality! Pheltz went to Scho Schoharie - harie Schoharie C. II. in search of his lovely . absentee: there he met with Geopard husband No. 2, and after some talk together, both .gentle .gentleman - man .gentleman agreed to pursue her to this city, where they ascertained her present place of resi resident - dent resident to be, and they proposed to delay the settlement of their respective claims until they had found her. She was found in the 'possession of Mr. J.'Kohleni, a working Deuteher in the profes professional - sional professional calling of bone and rug picket, and the-tl'iee gentlemen instead , ot engaging iu a nonsensical quarrel awut toe , ;oniesi ;oniesi-ted - ted ;oniesi-ted property, agreed to play a three hand ed game of "seven up," ' to decide who was the husband dt facto the beer to be paid for by an equal contribution of the three ckimants.

couut. were performed by a stylus or steel pen, by" which letters were engraved on hard anbstances. Writing was first made on bark of trees, leaves and parchment, and thin plates of bras and ' iron, ' Even the original meaning of piper, papyrus is a shrub of whose leaves were made cloteen, mats, rotv's, sails and paper. The Bible was wrUen on parchment. The parchment was written on one side, and rolled up in the form of a scroll. This scroll was kept as a most choice deposit, and one portiou after another was added by the sanction of the Jewish Sanhedrim; who cautiously examined- the authority and truth, of every pretended prophet.. This accounts for the want of order in the arrangement of books in the Hebrew text; Chronicles, not Malaclii, is the last book in the Hebrew Bible. The Inspired Ezra discovered that there was an important period in the History of the Jews left out, and lie supplied it. But he must add it to the scroll, without respect to the order of time. The translators discovered this, and wisely put it back in its proper place. The fathers called Chronicles lie Book of Books, the Book of things left out. This form of the Jewish manuscripts shows us the reason of their writings from the right h ind to the left, or as we kliould say of beginning it back where it should end, and ending where it should begin. . It was more convenient to unroll the parchment as you read. The sacred writings used in the synagogue, and thos'i used in private fami families, - lies, families, were not always in the same, form. .'amities often used them in the form of sheets. : 1 - . ' . .. The Sameritans who separated from the Jews in the region of Reliob.im, in A. M. 3028. had only the PentaUich the five books of Moses. As they were seperated from Israel, they were deprived of the wri writings - tings writings of the prophets. The Savior probably alluded to this limited or defective volume of theirs, when he said to the woman of Sama Samaria. - ria. Samaria. Ye worship for salvation is Of the Jews--or salvation in more cleaily revealed lo the Jews, in those books, which have been written since ..you separated form the Jews. The Samaritan Pentateuch, though written in different characters, is the saiua ns that of the Hebrews. The mode and materials of 'he undent writings made them very gcarco and very expensive. ' The language which God gave to Adam in the garden was u idoubtedly Hebrew. Though the word Hebrew was derived from the word Heber, meaning "to pass over," and was applied to Abraham because he passed over the Euphrates to enter into Canaan, yet it is prqbable that this is the language God used with our first, parents in thegardeu, for this is the most ancient of languages; it is iuci rporated into almost all Ipnguages, and from it many of them are formed. Many of the Easlerc languages are. decendants from the Hebrew, and, are therefore called kindred languages, or lan languages - guages languages with a corruption of the Hebrew. From the age of Moses to that of David, has beeji considered the golden age of the He-, brew language. The reign of Hezekiah,' which admitted somet foreign words, was the .silver nge. But the commercial and civil intercourse of the Jews, their foreign colonies and their. captives, corrupted their language and created numerous idioms. It' is probable 'that tho forms 'of the He Hebrew - brew Hebrew letters hive changed in many diffent periods. , " 1 The old Testament was then writtcri in Hebrew; the New Testament was written in Greek., the pure and populnrjanguages of the first c nturie8 of the Christian era. But if the writeri were Jews, they' retained the Hebrew style; and in some intrances used the -Hebrew words. .It is therefore sometimes ended the Hellenistic Greek and sometimes called the Hebrew Greek, and it was the Greek languare used by the Jews and with Hebrew niiom. " . ' , The Greek manuscripts, like the Hebrew, were written in dilferelit forms of letters some uncial and some cursive soma in en tire capitals and others in ordinary letters. They had on chapters.' verses, stops or marks, and no divisions to works. , I ought hero to remark that though writers of man manuscript - uscript manuscript were very cautious and very correct in copying, yet there are Occaoionally' mis mistakes - takes mistakes in orthography.' And 1 yet they pass down century after century5 without essen essential - tial essential pervision while the works of the learn learned - ed learned Gieeks, after two or three-copied editions, were pronounced 1 unworthy', of ' their au authors, - thors, authors, and consigned to 'oblivion. !i As was natural and aimost inevitable',' some niftuu niftuu-scripts1 - scripts1 niftuu-scripts1 wrd! deemed more oorrect than others, and were therefore a regarded as standard manuscripts.

No answer was returned, and the mother crept quietly up stairs. ' In the evening the lover came a.'Hin. Tliey: toon supper logemor, , anu passed a social evening. After the second twenty-four hours had passed, the mother made another visit to the child.
