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.

For twclroor fourteen jests I have been a great

which raa into the secondary, ami finally it was

that for three jears I absolutely refused to let peo?
ple see' mo.' I used large quantities of most noted
blood remedies and applied to nearly all physi?
cians near mo, but my condition continued to
grow worso, and all said that I must surely die.
My bones became tho seat of excruciating aches
and pains; my nights wero passed in misery ; I
was reduced in flesh and strength; my kidneys
were terribly deranged, and life became a bunion

was pronounced sound and well.

SEWING MACHINE
RLOR.
THE Ladies of Anderson and surround?
ing Counties are respectfully invi?
ted to call at my newly arranged Sewing
Machine Parlor* and examine the merits
of the various leading Machines for which
I am sole Agent in this and several other
Counties in Upper Carolina. I guarantee
one and all polite and careful attention.
The justly celebrated New Home is
still our favorite. It is simple, strong,
swift and sure, doing the widest range of
work, and equipped with all the latest im?
proved Attachments.
The Domestic is certainly a Star of
no small magnitude, and is celebrated for
its light and noiseless running, and ite
handsome appearance.
The peerless White is KING, and Is
highly appreciated by all wvo use them,
for lightness, simplicity and handsome
finish.
The Royal St. John ie certainly
the ACCOMMODATING Machine of the
day, as you can do beautiful and substan?
tial work, by running either way, without
getting out of adjustment or breaking
stitches.
Those are the LEADERS, but I also sell
several other makes of Machines, and all
at low figures and on reasonable terms.
The Latest Novelty in way of a
Sewing Machine Attachment is the P. Byrne
Spring Motor. The complete operation of
a Sewing Machino with this Motor is so
simple and easy that a child, or the most
delicate lady can use it. Can be applied to
any Sewing Machine, and is loudly prate
ed by all who see its operation. Will run
from 10 to 1,000 stitches per minute, at the
wiil of the operator. I have exclusive sals
of this Motor for the upper portion of
South Carolina. Can be seen in operation
at any time at either of my Sewing Ma?
chine Parlors.
Needles, Oil and Attachments a
