And oft how oft ! the tho't will dwell The scenes we knew in happier vcars ; When those, we could not love too' well, Tread lonely life's dark vale of tears. Oil, then, how sweet the lingering tho't, That comes again, and comes again, With all youth's hope and gladness fraught. The thought of those who loved us then. . Oh, it is all vrhen years come on, And love's romance of hope is o'er . Can hringto light, joys past and gone, And bear us b ick to youth once more. From the United States Telegraph. There is one anecdote, illustrative of the sufferings and the patriotism both of General Washington and his brave officers, and of the straights to which they were reduced, in the time of the Revolutionary war, which I wish to appear in your paper There are many proofs of this kind to be given, & many are already known to the people ; hut the following 1 do not recollect to have seen published After long services and great suf ferinps beinc: without pay, except

paper not worth more than one dollar for forty, when many were going home to take care of their families, there was a meeting ofaunmherof the officers, at which it was proposed to lay their case once more before the

uomm.maer in unict, tor his consideration, in the hope that he would repre sent their case to Congress. It was with great reluctance any one Would consent to be on such a committee, for they did not wish to add to bis anxieties & troubles. A Captain H. however, consented to go with such a message, if some others would accompany him ; & two others were chosen to attend him. They waited on general AYashington, and when .introduced into his room, they found Vim with his head reclining on his band and his arm resting on a table, in deep thought. But he raised himself up, and offered his usual saluta tions They hesitated, at first, to make known the object of their visit, when they perceived his anxious countenance. But Capt II soon recovered himself, and stated concisely the design of calling on him. Thev represented the sulTei ings and discon tents of the officers, and expressed a hope that some relief would be

speedily provided. Alter he closed. Washington, with great gravity in his manner and anxiety in his looks said 4 Gentlemen, I know that a!i you state of your suffering wants are true ; and that you might justly have represented them much gt eater than you have. But. gentlemen, is this a time for you to comp'ain ? Our country is in a most critical situation. Every thing is at stake All our ef forts and all our set vices arc necessary to save her from subjugation. She requires all our resolutions, and demands all that we can do. Is this, then, a time for you to complain, or to think of your own sufferings' As he uttered the last sentence, the tears started in his eyes. The officers were struck dumb. & retired in haste. Saying to their companions, that, thev would complain no more ; that thev would stand by their commander to the close of the war. Now. we have only to ask, if such men are still to suffer ; if they shall go to their graves in poverty and want ? .J Son of 76 From the Augusta Constitutionalist. CURE FOR Tim BITE of THE VIPER. RATTLE S.NAK, &C In great cities, particularly in London, a number of persons procure their livelihood by catching Vipers. They are employed by chemists, apothecaries. &e. I remember some years before leaving England to have read in the philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London, a curious circumstance of one of these

Viper catchers. A ntemW of the Society had received casually, information that a man engaged in this business was frequently bitten, and that he cured himself by Sw eet Olive oil. After a considerable inquiry, the viper Catcher was found, and the questions asked whether he did cure himself by the oil & whether he was willing to satisfy a number of gentlemen of the fact ? The man answer ed in the affirrriative to both questi ons. Accordingly a very numerous meeting of the Royal Society was canvened composed of t considerable number of the nobility, &c. the Viper catcher attended, accompanied by his wife and a large Viper, and laying his arm naked to the shoulder, suffered the irritated reptile to strike, which it did very forcibly. His wife permit ted the poison to operate till her bus band's head, face, and tongue were

greatly swollen, his arm & face turn
