LITTLE FAULrs.-Correct your little faults
and you will gain courage and will overcome
great ones. No man arrives At excellence
but through sharp watching and constant
curblng OF his faulty tendencies in the small

up rigid rules. and proceeded upon thorough
system IN disciplining themselves, from early
hfe; IN their footsteps every young American
should be proud to follow. Were less empty

WashingtOn's Tomb.

There is no truth in the absurd report ori-
ginating, it is said, with an evening paper in
this city, that Mr.. John A. Washington in
tended 10 remove the mortal remains of the
Father of his Country from the vault at
Mount Vernon. in which they are deposited.
His contract with the Ladies' Mount Vernon
Association of the Union, to whom he has
conditionally sold the Mount Vernon estate,
expressly provides as follows: And the
said vault, the remains in and around it, and
the enclosure, shall never be removed or dis
turbed, and that no other persons hereafter
shall ever be inferred or entombed within
the said vault or enclosure.
There does not appear to be any founda-
tion for the report. Mr.. John A. Washing
ton obtains a fancy price for Mount Vernon,
entirely ecause the purchasers desire the ma
tion to possess the last resting place of him
who was first in peace, first in war, and first
in the hearts of his countrymen.' This burial
vault, minus the ashes of WASHINGTON, would
be comparatively valueless.
We take this opportunity of repeating the
expression Of our hope that the public spirit
and liberality of the Union will supply a suf-
ticient sum, even within the present year, to
enable the Ladies' Association to pay for the
purchase. Forueys Press, dug. 4.
