We were first shown into the Library
formerly belonging to Washington; it is
composed Of works in various languages,
generally on historical and scientific sub
lccts. This room contains the bust of
Washington, modelled from lie by lIou-
don; also an engraving Of Louis XVI,
which was presented by that monarch to
Washington, at the time our first treaty
was made with France. The engraving
is splendid specimen Of the art, and is
believed to be the only one now in cXis-

ing been destroyed during the French
Revolution. 1t is enclosed in a frame
embelished with the arms Of Louis and
Washington. The dining hall Of the

We were subsequently, shown the vari.

of which betoken an air of comfort and
convenience which generally characterize
the dwellings Of our fathers. The room
where Washington died, still occupied as
bed chamber, possesses an interest TO
be experienced only in pa1sing before
those walls which heard his last words,
and in expressive silence responded TO the
parting spirit.

about twelve miles from the city of Wash

or The west is fast gaining in literary talent
richness of her blooming and fertile prairies.-
The spirit of song, too, has spread her mantle
over her dcvotecs west of the 'grea. lakes,
and their warnings, clear and sparkling, gushes
pellucidly bright. The following sweet strains
from young lady OF Chicago, deaf and dumb
mute, will stand the test of comparison with d
majority of our newspaper poetry.
From the Gem of the Prairie.
Is there no power 10 give me back,
The faith Of childhood's earliest day.
When shadows from the futures track,
Were chased by joy-beams far away!
When to the view life's pathway spread,
Encrcled by mystic chan,-
Still haunted by its sunshine fled,
Iwould | we've u child again.
And can no earthly power restore,
Unto this heart the steadiast trust,
Twas wont in other hours to pour,
A free libation DER the dust
For then the magic Of word
Each hayward passion could restraint
Too much, too oft, my heart is stirr'd
To wish were child again.
But never shall this bosom thrill,
Unto the joys that lit the past,
might have known that death-like chill,
Would gather DER their light at last;
Still thoughts Of those emotions blcst,

And waken mid my heart unrest,
The wish to be child again. MonYA.

We have wandered through the house,
admired its antique and beautiful cornices,
stopped to behold each relic of that ma

these very halls, and stepping out into
the vcrdant lawn, wonder at the placid
serenity which even the atmosphere
seems to possess, and inquire for the
tomb Of Washington. Following Sc
