When 1 first met Colonel Hurr, be be gan, bo wna an old man, and ai you know under a cloud, not bowed down but de crepid, I exiH-cted to neo him. but fudilyand fair-faced, with the brilliant oyo and erect oirriago of a man of lib prime. Our leave-taking on this occasion uiott impreiw.ed mo "You must come and wo me often," aaid he, "1 am an old man ; you are young, and my experience of the world and nuionij men bus been bucIi that 1 may Iki of beiietU to you." That Washington disliked Hurr Is a matter or history ; this was duo partly to HmnlltonV inlluenco, but chlolly, 1 think to Utirr'a lively Wen witicisms on bis generalnhlp. Hurr thought Washington n poor General, and. conceited youngster iu ho wan, waa iptllo outspoken in bis opinions. Ho never sought to impress his peculiar views of the man upon the young, however, n an incident which I can relato will show. In our lutorcotirso as coidinl and unalfocted aa that between father and aou-ho was speaking ono day of tho battle of Monmouth, which he charwctcrUed aa a succession of mere sklrmlsbors, magnlfled by fiilsoin historians Into a battle, and wliich, ho said, might hnvo been won for tho patriot arms on several occasions had Washlngton-and hero ho clu-ckod him sell, and after a moment added 'Let us atop here. 1 would on no account de stroy the veneration and esteem that you have for tho character of Washington." Andrew JacUon in his younger years was an anient admirer of Hurr, and was to have been the latlor'a trusted Lieuten ant in tho proKsed Mexican exhibition. lie also stoutly defended him nt the time of his trial for treason iu Itlcbmoud In 1S07. Twenty.ono years nftor, in 182S, their positions had changed, Jackson was the Uemocrntio candidate for Presi dent, and Hurr was living obscurely iu Now York, poor and under n cloud they woro not on speaking terms. Unrr had letters nnd papers hi hia possession that would have nipped Jackson's Presidential asHratlous in the bud ; ho also bold the fate of morn than one-half the political aspirants of that day at hia disposal, nnd 1 oiteu wondoied at bis forbearance in not using this power the more, aain many cases in so doing ho might have cleared himself. Hut I think tldollty to friends was one of his most striking traits. Hurr voted for Jackson for lrealdeut,aud bis appearance at the (Mills I remember perfectly. Tho i-ollliig place woro then In Howling green, near tlie Hattery, ami on this ociiislon there waH gathered tboro very much audi a turbulent crowd as now disgraced our elections. At length Colo nel Hurr, accompanied by a filend, ono orihoHwartouts, 1 think, drove up, but it was soon whispered that hu was present. Kveryone hocmed anxious to sco him ; tliu noisy demonstrations of the crowd wore hushed, and a lane was formed through which ho advanced to deposit hU ballot. Homo of tho cltUous oven lift ed their hatH In spontaneous tribute to tho man. There wna n presence about Hurr rarely met with, which made him a marked man In any cmuiwiny, nnd pre served him from personal insult. Indeed, I never knew an Instance In which be was Insulted personally, though ho was ho often and so grossly assailed by por sons at a distance. Another thing not gengrnlly known, I bollovo, la tbit Hurronce projected a com prehensive work on tho men mid events or the ltevolutlon , his moro Intimate frlonds, however, know this to liavo been ono of tho most chorlshed plank of his latter life. For it be had collected many I t tors and turnera of value, which, at the timo or Ida (light to lairopr, wore sent for wife kTpliigto hla accomplished laughter, Thoodosia, in South Carolina. When she enmo to meet hor father In J812, thoy ac rompiinicd her cu board tho ill-fated I'dlHolfiiul were Ioit with berin the ship wreck of that vessel oil the Hattcra const. Hence tho project ww abandoned, to the Incalculable low of American lilcrature.for Hurr had it In Ida power (ogive a truthful history of tho great contest, and could have fortified bin por-ition with tho neces sary paper and document. I arn certain that ho would have disproved many of imi nsscrtiona oi uiuwu Historians, and that a jusler estimate than ,s eornrrion of some prominent characters might have tif en gathered irom ma work, especially or Jelfcrwin and Hamilton. Hurr was never himself nftor tht loss of the Patriot. Ho was moro affected by it than Is gener ally Kupposd. I thmk bo was broken hearted. Often be was urged to rcpl) to the calumnies circulated concerning him, as a duty ho owed to himself, to hia fami ly, and to posterity at large. "Ah ! " he would say, "of what use are words ? All my papers woro lojt in the shipwreck th'u', bereft mo and my daughter : let them do with the old man what they will." Or Colonel Utirr'a politoni-M and court liness inticli has been said, and he proba bly excelled in these qualities all other men or his diiv; courtesy and grace were innate qualities without olish denied to most public men. I think, however, that It was bis personal magnetism which gave him bis great pouer with women. In this connection let mo relate an in cident which occurred some time after his death. In passing tho office or Fowler, tbe phrenologist, in Fulton street, in whose m inuo w a piaster can oi isurrs neau nau been placed, and noticed tw o ladles, richly d reused, standing lieforo it, one waa young, the other old.

"An ! my dear," said the old lady, iu an Indescribable tone, "you never knew Colonel Ilurr. 1 met iitm often in society, and I am sure he was the most lovable man I ever met.'

A strong hand and a determined will nearly always suffice to stop runaways, if nothing breaks. If the lines break or tbe bits give awav, an ac tive person may, without much difficulty, climb over the dash-board, get on tbe animal's back, and check him by grasping his ncbe. Leaping from tbe carriage while tbe horse is running is almost cer tainly to involve more or less injury. An active person may do it safelv, but it is the part of pluck, and generally that of wisdom, to stay by tbe carriage as long tbo traces hold. When the horse is fairly stopped, treat him kindly, and if possible, let him stand until bis nerves are quieted. If a horse is running toward you, courage and adroitness may enable you to stop him. If you can secure a 'hold on tho reins, or one of them, near the bits, you aro all right. Hold on, and ata few rods at most, tho horse will stop, unless he is ' m a most extraordinary animal. In caso of a span, if you stop one horse, the other must stop, too, if nothing gives way. We can tell those who liavo nevar tried it that it is not a pleasant pastime to stand by the roadside and watch tbe appreach of a frantic horse, making calculation tbe while to catch some part of the harness. Still it can be done, and is done many times every year. An equestrian has a better chance every way to check tho horse then has tbe driver of a vehicle.

Our wonder in thinking of the matter ia not that rob beries take place at all, but that they should, nndcr tho circumstances, be so comparatively few in number. Cabinet Meetings.
