^h?iW Column, J. G. CLINKSCALES, Editor. EMINENT KEN AND WOMEN. iii. washington irving. The traveler up the Hudson River, when nearly thirty miles from New York, - cannot but be impressed with the beauti? ful scenery on every side, and especially with that on the east bank of the river, where it broadens into a sort of lake known as the Tappan Zee, on the shores of which are many elegant residences, surrounding the sequestered and alto? gether picturesquo little village of Tarry town. This locality is famous in history as the place of Major Andre's capture during the Revolutionary War, and cele? brated in literature as the scene of many a quaint and fascinating story, told by the simple and beautiful man who passed the autumn of his life in that hallowed spot, fur it was here that Washington Irving, at the age of fifty-four, purchased a small farm, with a little atone Dutch cottage on it, and, having changed and -beautified it in many ways, bestowed upon it. the name of "Sunny-side," a name equally applicable to the owner, as one must see from that genial and win? some face that smiles upon us from this' page; The man was in accord with the place, and his works accorded with both; tinctured with a delightful humor, an exquisite fancy, and couched in a simple and beautiful diction, hisstories seem to belong to the place, and he, as another has expressed it, "seemed, indeed, to have stepped out of his own books." Irving was born in the city of New York, April 3, 1783. His parents began life in humble circumstances, and at this, ? their eighth son's birth, lived in an an? tiquated, house on William Street, be? tween Fulton and John. The Revolu? tionary War had just closed, and the parents, being thorough patriots, named the new born for General Washington. Some years later, when President Wash? ington visited New York, the first seat of tljje'newr government, ?a Scotch maid-, sorvaiit of the family followed him into a'shop, and presenting the lad, saidj "Pleaso.'your honor, here's a bairn wps named after you." The grave Virginian . placed his hand on the boy's head arid gave him his blessing, little dreaming that he was honoring his future, biogra: pher. Irving's boyhood days were passed in . New York. He is described as having" been full of vivacity, drollery, and inno? cent mischief; he was fond of music and of the theatre, and cared little for study. His school education was of a ramblicg nature, pursued under several incompe? tent instructors, and finished at the age of sixteen. He studied Latin a very little, bnt went no farther in the classics, much preferring such reading as the "Arabian Nights," "Robinson Crusoe," und books of voyages and travels. He passed the greater part of bis time about the wharves, watching the ships as they set sail for long voyages, and dreaming of going to the ends of the earth. .At the age of sixteen he entered a - lawyer's office, but such study was ill adapted to him, and it soon became evi? dent, that neither his inclination nor bis health.-would permit its continuance. His lungs being somewhat weak, he was sent off on excursions to the neighboring counties, and as far north as Montreal, where he improved both physically and intellectually. Irving was one of those lads who learn from observation rather than from books?and their knowledge is therefore more simple and natural. In these wanderings over his native State, Irving stored his mind with much of that lore and tradition which lend such a charm to his sketches of Dutch Colonial life. Irving's first literary publication was a series of letters written under the nom de plume, or pen name, of Jonathan Old style, and contributed to the Morning Chronicle, a newspaper .owned by his - brother Peter. These letters were but imitations of similar English produc? tions, and aro important only as showing the powers of. the lad at nineteen years of age. "n May, 1S04, his brothers determined to send him to Europe, for the benefit of his health. In France, in Italy, and in England he tarried two years,-picking up languages, enriching his mind from the great; wealth of history and fable, and completely restoring his health. On bis return to America he was admitted to the bar, but still he maintained a supreme indifference to the law, entering soon afterr.*nrd, with his brother Peter, upon the publication of "Salmagundi," a semi? monthly periodical, which ran through twenty numbers. Its declared purpose was simply to "Instruct the young, re? form the. old, correct the town, and casti? gate the age." < "A History of New - York," by Died rich Knickerbocker, appeared in 1809 from the pen of Irving. At first it was intended only as a satire upon the "Pic? ture of New York/'- by Dr. Samuel Mitchell, but Irving changed his plan and made it a history of the manners and government under the Dutch iulers. The mode by which the book was an? nounced wa3 almost as quaint as the work- ittself. Notice appeared in the newspapers of the sndden disappearance of a "small, elderly gentleman, dressed in an old black coat and cocked hat, by the name of Knickerbocker." ? Subse? quent paragraphs revealed the fact that he bad-been last seen in the stage coach, travelling towards Albany; that he had gone away owing his landlord; that his full name was Diedrich Knickerbocker, and that he had left behind a very curious and interesting manuscript, which would bo sold to pay his bills if he did not return. The manuscript was finally printed and put on the market. It was a success from the first, and, al? though awakening some angry criticism from the descendants of the old Dutch families, it yet gained a high place and stamped the name of "Knickerbocker" on the metropolis of the New World. In 1815, Irving again sailed for Eu? rope, settling in England and remaining there for the better part of five years. In' the meantime the business of his -brothers became involved, and they were finally compelled to go into bankruptcy. This threw Irving on his own resources, and he determined upon a literary life; He had already formed the plan of a "Sketch Book," and the first part of this was published in America in 1819. It contained two papers: "The Wife" and "Rip Van Winkle." The "Sketch Book" created a sensation in this country, and was soon received with approval in Eng? land. Thi3 success, however, did not tend to excite Irving with new hopes and aspirations, the rather was he unnerved by the plaudits of the people. "I feel,' he wrote, "anxious to do something bet? ter, and at a loss what to do," and this feeling was intensified by his acquaint? ance and intimacy with nearly all of the great authors of England and Scotland; though this intimacy resulted in bringing hi3 latent energies into play, and his later works into popular favor. In 1820 he became fairly launched upon the literary sea, publishing "Brace bridge Hall," a selection of quaint and entertaining stories and sketches. Some of his best writings is to be found in "Tale3 of a Traveller," which appeared in 1824, but he was not content with this light vein of literary work, and was soon settled in Madrid, Spain, intent upon the "Life of Columbus." His 3tay in Mad? rid was prolonged until 1829, and mu3t be regarded a3 the most fruitful period of hia life. By his studies and investiga? tions he brought to light a mass of ma? terials relating to Spanish Colonial his? tory, and throwing much light upon the eaxly explorations in quest of the New World. Certain it is that his "Life of Columbus" and his Spanish Sketches, "The Alhambra," "The Conquest of Qranada," "The Conquest of Spain," are al^rigiho most valuable contributions to our historical literature, and brought to Irving that renown which still endures, and an ample appreciation from his pub? lishers in dollars and cents. In 1829 Irving was appointed Secretary of Legation at the English Court, rctir ing in 18S1, returning to America in 1332, and finally settling down in bis quaint old Dutch house at Tarrytown, which he named "Sunnyside." This became the dearest spot on earth to him, ahd he was as happy as man could be, surrounded by his nieces and nephews, and intent upon his work. In the ten years that followed, he wrote a life of Oliver Goldsmith, a life of Mahomelf and many sketches of'English life ami scenery. In 1842 he was unexpectedly appointed Minister to the Court of Mad? rid, where he remained nntil 1846. This mission he regarded as the crowning honor of his life. On his return home, at the age of 63, Irving began work upon his last and greatest work, the "Life of Washington," which was completed just before hie death, though he lived long enough to' receive the hearty approval of it from men thoroughly learned in the history of the Revolution. He had time also to revise his works and place them in the hands of the Puloams, from whom be received $88,000 for the copyrights. Washington Irving died November 28, 1859, at the close of a lovely day in In? dian summer, and was buried on a little elevation overlooking Sleepy Hollow, the scene of some of Iiis most fascinating sketches. "A small brook glides through it, with just murmur enough to lull one to repose; and the occasional whistle of a juail, or tapping of-a wood-pecker, is "almost the only sound that ever breaks in upon the uniform tranquiiity." The vicinity of this spot was a fitting resting* place' for the dead author, and his burial there but fulfilled a wish expressed in the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" when he said, "If ever I should wish foe .a, retreat whither I might steal from the world and i ts distractions, ahd dream quietly away the re'mnant ora troubled life, I know of none more promising than this little val? ley ."?The School World. A Recipe for Cooking- Husbands. A Baltimore lady has written a recipe for "cooking husbands so as to make them good and tender." It is as fol lows: t->? ~" c A good "-many husbands ore utterly spoiled by management. Some women go about as if their htobaccls were" Wad-' ders and. blow,them up. Others keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze by' theta carelessness and in? difference. Some keep them iu a stew by irritating ways and..words. Others roast them. So too keep th am in pickles all their Jives. It cannot be supposed that any. busband will be tender and goodinaoaged in this-way,-but they are really delicious wnen properly treated. In -selecting your husband you should not Be.guided by their, silvery appear ance, as. in buying mackerel, nor by the golden tint, as if you wanted salmon. Be sure to select him yourself, as tastes differ. Do not go to market for biro, as the best are always brought to your door. It-is far better to- have none, un? less you will learn to cook him. A preserving kettle of the finest porcc lainis best, but if you have nothing but an earthenware pipkin, it will do, with care. See that the linen in which you wrap him is nicely washed and men ded, with the required number of buttons and strings ire sewed' on. . 'Tie him in the kettle by a strong ailk cord called- com? fort, as the one called duty is -apt to be weak. They are apt to fly out of the kettle and be bur&ed and crusty, on the edges, since likexraba and ^J?bs tare you nave to cook them while alive. Maxe a clear, steady i fire: but. of love, .?cheerful? ness, au,d neatness. Set him as near this as seems to agree'with him. If he sput? ters and fizzes, do not be anxious; some husbands do this till they are quite done. Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on any account. A little spice improves them, but it must be used with I judgment. - Do not stick any sharp in? strument; into him, to see if he is becom? ing tender. Stir him gently, watch the while, lest he be too flat and close to the kettle, and so become useless. You can? not fail to know when he is done. If thus treated you will find him very di? gestible, agreeing nicely with you and the children, and he will keep as long as you want, unless you become careless and set him iu too cold a place.
