tection against certain imperative wants

armor in which great and good causes

nothing. It. makes no ’man really great-

A Leaf from the Diary of an Iuv_alid.
E Dcccmlicr——O-Ii dc-or-r! Winter has
come, cold, dreary Winter. No pleas-
ant suushine, nor singing‘ birds, iior fitn-
grant. flowers to cheer the lonely lio_ur"s.,
The doors and “windows are nllclosed,‘
and I feel like a prisoner. Ah, well, it.
is all right. I shall probably “learn
obedience by the things I sufi'cr.”V It is
a most dif'ficult/lesson for me, and one
which could be ell'ecl.milly tauglit by no
other than the severest dist-ipline—
“ So my disciplined spirit shall kiss the rod,
Of the smlter,'my F‘:ttlrer,-'In'_v Friend, and God.” '
In the meantime, I will try to amuse and
interest. uiyself the best. way I can. My
Diary is getting to be quite a monoto-
nous nffair, but then it helps to keep my
mind from wasting, and since I have
come to be part and parcel of the furni-
ture of the room, I must take a hint
from the example of the good liousewifc,
who shakes her carpets occasionally to
keep the moths out, and in like manner
shake the cobwebs out of my brain, let-
ting them fall into my Diary, assuming
any shape they please,
“ Nothing to do but en-.lure—
Nothing to do but wait." ,
My room is a very pleasant om.-.,~ and
now since I am strong enough to look
out, the surrounding scenery is per-
fectly familiar! I know just where the
fences are crooked, and the lot.s ill shaped.
I have watched the setting sun and in-
duiged in all the gloomy reflectious which
it suggests, until I have almost. forgotten
that there is a morning and a rising sun.
If ever I have be-cu" a sluggard, this
Oh if I could
only see the sun rise !
When first brought here I used to
count time by days, they soon lengthened
into weeks, and then into months and
years, and now I find it convenient to
keep an Almanac beside me that I may
know when Sunday comes, the days all
seem so much alike. Occ.isionally,I hear
the solemn music of the church bell, re-
minding me of other aud—shall I say
happier days? No, for then my hopes
and attachments were all of ea.-rtlz. * ; *
But it seems so strangely to be here so
long, it is so difl'erent from the active life
I used to lead, when engaged in the va-
ried duties of my own household, every
day was marked by its cares, its joys
an'd—"s6ri-ows I siipposé, though I almost
forget that life had any trials in those
days. I remember so much that was
pleasant. Somehow I do remeuiber
kindness longer than its opposite, and
the bright. spots in the past are mirrored
more distinctly than the dark ones, ex-
cept. only where death has set his, black
The waters of Lethe can never‘
wash that out. .“ My thor'.glits still
cling to the moulderiug past,” to the
loved ones that lie beneath the sod.-—
\Valter Scott. after the death of his wife
wrote, “ what shall I do with that por-
tion of my thoughts that I have always
been in the habit of telling, only to her ?”
Ali, it is :1 hard matter to direct oue’s
thoughts into a new channel, or to shut
and the stronger the current, the more
difiicult it is to turn it.
‘ The past is
“ As those we love decay, we die in part,
String after string is sever‘d from the heart,
Till loosened life, at last, but breathing clay,
Without one pang is glad to fall away,”
I am almost tired of l'7"3fi'Ilg to live.
* * ‘ I have to make a great many
erasures in my diary, for I often find
something written that looks very much
like coniplaiuiiig. ldo not mean it so,
however, but then I cannot help wishing
sorrietinies that it were otherwise with
me, that I could at least relieve others of
it
upon them. Possibly this is only an ex-
cuse to get rid of suffering “ His will,”
and if I had the ability I might not be
willing " to do.” Self-love is noted for
its dexterity .iu framing excuses.

n®*Wc find in the Daubury ‘Times
the following int.eresting history of one of
New Euglands most distinguished sons.
The Times is indebted to Mrs. Harriet
Stebbins of Brooklyn, (L. I.) for the fol-
loiviiig record of
General David Wooster and Paniily.
David Wooster was born, in Stratf'ord,
Couiiecticiit, on the 2d of , March, 1710,
of very res:.pe-ctable parents. Of his early
life little can now be ascertained, as all
the family papers were destroyed by the
British when they pillagcd the town
of New Haven in 1770. We only know
that he received a. liberal education, and
graduated in Yale College in the year-
.1738. In the llillowing year when the
Stpaui-sli war broke out, he was eniployccl
as firsl. lieutenant, and soon after as Cap-
tain of the vessel built and armed by the
colony as a _.r,ru.rzrzl z" cnsta. ‘T . '.
Not. long rifter this he married llié eld-
est daughter of the Rev. Thomas Cl-app,
President of the Yale College, it young‘
lady not less distiriguished for her strength
of mind than for uncommon reputation,
and he became the father of two children
a son -and a daughter.
General Wooster had naturally a mil-
_.itary turn and was first appointed a Cap-
._tain in 'Colonel Buri"s (Aaron Burns
-father-, we believe,) regiment, which fc.rni-
part of the troops that Connecticut
._sént in the celebrated expedition against-
Jjouisburg in 1745. He there proved
bore a distinguislied part in the siege and
capture of that strong fortress. He r.'rz:..
retained among the colonial troops to
-keep possession of the conquest he had as.-
-sisted in eflecting, and he was soon after
selected among the American otficers, to
take”c'harge of a cartel ship for France
and England. He was not perniittetl to
land in France, but was received in Eng-
land with distinguished honor. The
young American officer, as be was called
was presented to the King and become
the favorite of the court and the people.
The King admitted him in the regular
service, and he was presented with n
captaincy in Sir TV. Pepperell’s regiment,
with half pay for life. His likeness at
full length was taken and transferred to
the periodical magazines of that ds:_v.—
The peace of Ai.v.-la~Chapelle, whicli tool;
place in 1748, restored Louisburg to
_,F_ran_ce,~and the young ‘American officer
to private life and his" family. He was
not however, permitted to remain long in
this situation, for the attempts of settling
the boundaries between the French and
the Eiigli.-‘.h'1\'o1'tli American p0S:'~eSS:l0llS
having proved vain, the war of 1756 fol-
lowed, and in this great. 'co1itcst Geuérnl
Woiistci' wasjsqon tliouglrt of as a man
qiinlificd for a higher sphere and was ap-
pointed Colonel of _a regiment l"illSf‘Ll in
C‘,onuectic-ut., and aflei'w_ards to the com-
_mand of a l)r'ig.ur.lc, in which statpic.-n he re-
mained until the peace of 1763, wlicu he
retiiruccl again to his family, licariiig
many marks of his valor and i:ili'cpiditj.'.
Soon after the close of "this war he cu-
gaged in niercautile business in New Hz.-
ven, and held the ofiice of 1iis.3iI;ijes~.ty’s
collector of the customs for that p01'i-.--
He was liiglily i'e.-*.pecte.d both in his pri-
vate and public character.
Having in the two precetling wars,
mixed much in the world, and formed ll
numerous acquaintance, both in Europe
and America, and possessed of a generous
and'libera1niind, his house was the seat
of liospitality.
In the great contest between the par-
ent country and the North American
colonies, General Wooster took no doubt-
fu’r‘"part, and although an officer in the
British regular establishment, and entitled
Lto half pay for life, he did not hesitate to
take"s‘ides with his country, and JIIIS pen
and his sword were actively employed in
the defence of its rights.‘ ” " .
After the battle of Lexington he was
aware that the sword alone must decide
the contest. Under these circumstances,
-General Wooster, as well as other mili-
tary men of experience, at once saw how‘
important it was for the Americans to
get, possession of the fortresses of the
.cou_ntr.y, together with the cannon, arms
and military stores there deposited. ' The
peicn-liar situation of the fort at Ticondero-
_ga,_.commaudiug the great pass between
tbe.Nortbern~A-tlantic colonies and Can-
Iida,’ did not escape his notice. He there-
-fore, with or few others of akindrcd spirit,
early in May, 1775, secretly planned an
expedition from Connecticut, to seize up-
on and retain that fortress, and toenable
them, to carry. their plans into _execut_i0n,
they privately obtained a loan of. eigh-
teen hundred dollars from the treasury of
the State for which they became person-
ally responsible. Such was the secrecy in
executing this measure, that on the 10th
of May, as is well known, this fort was
surprised and delivered up to Allen and
Arnold and their brave followers. This
very important step, was at the sole risk
and -responsibility of General Wooster
and-other inrlividuals. Congress, wheu'in'-
formed of. this transaction, recommended
that an iiiveutory of the cannon and mili-
-tary stores found in the fort, should be
“taken, “ in order, as they say, that-they»
‘may be safely returned when the restora-
tion of the former harmony between
Great. Britain and these colonies, so ar-
dently wished for ‘by. the latter, shall
