WASHINGTON'S MONUMENT
For him who sought his countrys good
In plans Of war and scenes of blood
Who. in the battles doubtful fray,
Spent the warm noon of lifes bright day,
That to the world he might
Rights that forever shall endure.
Rear the Monument of Fame
Deathless is the Heros name
For him who, when the war was done
And victory sure, and freedom won
Loft glory's theatre the field
The oliye-branch of peace to WELD
And proved, when at the helm of State
Though great in war in peace as great
Rear the Monument of Fame
Deathless is the Heros name.
For him whose worth, though unexpressed,
Lives cherished in each freeman's breast
Whose name, to patriot souls so dear
Times latest children shall revere
Whose bravo achievements praised shall be
While beats one breast for Liberty,
Rear the Monument of Fame
Deathless is the lieros name
But why for him vain marbles raise
Can the cold sculpture spread his praise
llustrious shade can proclaim
Our gratitude, but not thy fame
Long as Columbia shall be free
She lives a Monument of thee
And may she ever rise in fame
To honor thy Immortal name.

WOMEN AND LADIEs.--ln the days of our
fathers, there were such things to be met with
as men and women but now they are all gone
and in their place race of gentlemen and la
dies, or, to be still more refined race of "la
dies and gentlemen" has sprung up Women
and girls are among the things that were but
"ladies are found everywhere. Miss MART
