Mount Vernon.

WHEN Washington died, Mount Vern-
on was beautiful spot. The house
the lawn sloping down to the river-the
garden-the roads-the gateways the
trees--every thing indicated care and
taste. For years afterwards, when visitors
came there, they were shown the chair in
which he used to sit and write, the marble
mantle piece and the key of the Bastle,
sent 10 him from France by Lafayette,
and hundred other articles, preserved
with jeIeous care by the family. And
until recently the found there grey hair
ed negro, faithful and attached servant
OF Washington, who kept the key of the
enclosure where his old masters tomb
was situated. 1t was his greatest pride
and pleasure to talk by the hour of MAS
sa Washington" and to relate the Incl
dents of his life and death. Then he
would take you down to the vault ITSELF
IN whose steps he had SO long stood senti-
mel, and as he approached, his voice would
sink ito reverene ed whisper.
There was an air of quiet neatness
every where. The tolIing of some passing
steamboat bell was the only sound that
broke the solemn stiffness. There was
something everywhere to remind YOU Of
the respect duo to the grave where Wash
ington lay buried.

ed and bent over it. Moss grows on the
door step. There is no guide to show
you the way, bat there is a low range OF
novels on one side, from which two oil
three negro boys run out, to offer you a
hickory stick, as relic of Mount Vernon
for sixpence. You follow winding

An unsightly red brick structure stands
before you.
1t is long since it was painted, and the
masonry is decaying and breaken. Yo'

Inside there is plain morble slab, COY

dew. On it you may read the carve
inscription that time and exposure wi

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

hearts of his countryman!
l We do not wish to be misunderstood
as desiring to blame the present own
t Of the estate-Mr. J. A. Washington
= Not rich, surrounded by needy dependan
