One.of a party from Richmond which visit
ed Mount Vernon recently, in an interesting
account of the excursion, says co.
We walked through the rooms where once
the Christian gentleman dispensed an elegant
hospitality; into which he led his bride, Mar
tina Gusts from which he went forth to fight
his countrys battles; the rooms which receiy-
ed him when the cares of Office were laid aside;
where he dwelt the object of the worlds vene-
ration, and where the sobs which went up from
his funeral resounded, and the past came back
as in dream-the stately image rose from its
long sleep aud filled the apartments with a Wis
ible glory, = the unwritten benedctions of
millions which "eoyer the walls" in Mr.
Eyerett's noble Grafton, faded out, and We
started to think that Washington, in the full
majesty of his commanding person, might en-
ter the library, where hangs the sword of the
great Frederick, or the parlor, where he well
coined Lafay. tie. There is no other mansion
in the world SO full of the genius loci, none
whose floors were tread with so reverent
a step, and dissertation has been at work even
there, and the mutilated mantles and door
WAYS bear melancholy witness of the ruthless
ness Of the curiosity-monger. Surely no one
can visit Mount Vernon without feeling the
deepest interest in the success of the enterprise
which seeks TO make it the property of the ma
tlen-
There is wonderful beauty in the walks
around the house an indiscribable charm in
the depths of shade which invite to rambling
reverie; poetic suggestveness in the sweet
gloom which raigns und r those old clumps of
trees, where Washington himself sought re-
frrshment, and where. through heightened Wis
tas, he caught the cool giimpses of the broad
Potomac indeed, Nature would seem to have
loved the spot that the Paer Patrie inhabited,
and to have combined all her glad sights and
sounds to fill it with loveliness and music; the
grove, the lawn. the rive, the flow of water.
and the song of birds. all attest her kindly
and soothing ministrations. There was want
ing but blu. sky and bright sun, to lend brill
lance to the scene, as we strayed among these
walks. needing not the descending rain drops;
bu hvpsrhaps the dreary day was more in bar
mony with the pensiveness inspired by the
pilgrimage than would have been the garish
sunshine. l can imagine that Mount Vernon
under the enchantment of moonlight, would
be something beyond the power of description.
