A person who accompanied Gen. Taylor or
his late visit to Richmond, gives the following
description of the scene as the steamboat passed
Mount Vernon. Some one remarked, &" Tha
for fifty years no boat has passed the spot where
lie the remains of the illustrious dead, without
paying the solemn compliment of tolling lheil
bell while passing No such honor was evel
before paid to the great dead cts the
Mecca of the States p solemnly added the
the President, without for moment moving
his eyes from the spot.
In the saffron tinted morning,
With Potomac's anthem swell,
Where our honored chief is sleeping,
Mingles deep the passing bell!
Slowly sides the gallant vessel,
By Mount Vernon's hallowed shades,
And that mellowed, mournful cadence,
Echoes through the dewy glades,
IT'S Columbia's tender tribute,
Offered to her noblest son
IT'S the free hearts fervent homage,
At the grave of Washington.
In the slumb'rous hush of noontide,
With Potomac's anthem swell,
Where our honored chief is sleeping,
Mingles deep the passing bell!
Never marble mauseleum,
Might such majesty impart;
Nor the loud acclaim of millions,
As the homage of the heart.
It's Columbia's tender tribute,
Offered to her noblest son!
IT'S the free hearts earnest homage,
At the grave of Washington.
In the rosy flush of evening,
With Potomac's anthem swell,
Where our honored chief is sleeping,
Mingles deep the passing bell
Never king, in regal splendor,
Won fame so true and pure;
For his name will be a watchword,
While his country shall endure;
lis Columbia's tender tribute,
Offered to her noblest SON;
It's the true hearts fervent homage,
At the grave Of Washington.
In the blue and starry midnight,
With Potomac's anthem swell,
Where our honored chief is sleeping,
BIingles deep the passing bell !
Dear the spot to patriot pilgrims
What a thrill his name creates
lis the signet of the Union
IT'S the Mecca of the States
Meet such true and tender tribute,
To Columbia's noblest SON.
IT'S the free hearts fervent homage,

An Old Settler.

John Vanhooser lives in the county OF
Jefferson, Tennessee, and is in the 1921
year of his age. Until recently he was
in the tabit of walking to and from town,
on calls of business, a distance of five or
six miles, without experiencing fatigue.
He is German by birth, but emigra,ed
to this country about one hundred years
since. He was in several Of the most
important battles of our revolution. He
voted for Gen. Washington for President
of the United States, and boasts that he
has never failed at any election for Pres
ident from that time till the present. =
Recently one of his grand daughters, a
lass Of IS years, paid him a visit, and
found the old gentleman in his usual
health. We Doubt if another such case
of longevity can be found in the United
States.

A Beautiful Incident.

Horace Mann relates the following
beautiful incident
| was once acquainted with young
man, who, on removing from the country
10 the city, was introduced into very
respectable circle Of persons about his
own age who were in the habit of meet
ing periodically, for the nominal purpose,
at least, of conversation and social i'm
provement. Bu, any locker on at this
symposia might have been uncharitable,
had he supposed that the supper, the
wine and the cigars constituted the prin-
cipal attraction. He became one of their
number, and for time enjoyed the hi
larity and shared the expense of the en-
tertainments but at last rebuked by his
conscience for this mode of spending
both time and money, he quietly with
drew from the club, though without aban-
doning his intimacy with its members.
Through one OF their number, be learned
the average cost of their suppers, and
taking an equal sum from his own scam
tily filled purse, he laid it aside, as fund
for charity. At the end OF a single sea-
son, he found himself in possession of a
hundred dollars, wholly made up Of these
sums saved from genteel dissipation.
This amount he took TO poor but most
exemplary family, consisting of widow
and several small children, all of whom
were struggling as for life, and against a
series of adverse circumstances, to MAIN
tain show of responsibility, and TO pro.
vide the means of attending the public
school. The bestowment of this sum
upon the dsheartened mother and the
fatherless children, together with the
mpathy and counsel that accompanied
it, seemed to put new heart into the
bosoms of them all. 1t proved to be the
turning point in their fortunes. Some
small debts were paid, the necessary
school books and few articles of domes-
tic clothing were obtained, the children
sprang forward in their studies, equaling
or outstripng all competitors; and at the
present time, they are all among the most
respectable, exemplary and useful citizens
in the State. Now it would be TO sup
pose myself not among men, hut among
fends, were TO put the question, as if
doubtful of the answer, which of these
young men extracted the greatest quanti-
tv of happiness from his hundre dollars
Nor can such charity ever fail TO benefit
