A CONVERTED BRAHMTN or CANP MEET
IvGs AND CnuBcH MusIC IN AMERICA
Mr.. Grangooly, the converted Brahmin,
spoke at the Unitarian Convention in
Lowell, on the Goth inst, giving an am
using account of his experience att Meth
odist meeting, where, upon being called
upon to speak, he complied. After he
bad spoken awhile some one exclaimed
Amen. This Mr.. Gangooly at first re-
ceived as hint to stop but as no one
proceeded to announce the benediction,
he went op with his remarks. Presently
two or three others cried Amen" and
then he thought he must stop but when
he had taken his seat, they said $50 on :"
He was invited to 90 to a camp meeting
and accepted the invitation, but not with
the understanding that he should 20 a
week. He did not like the camp meeting.
There was scarcely any difference be-
tween it and the IIndoo temple.
Mr.. Gaugoolythen spoke Of ccngrega-

The Memory of Washington.
There is scjourning in Cincinnati,

There is scjourning in Cincinnati, on
visit to his relatives, James II. Ham
ilton, of Washington city, aged eighty
five years, active, erect, and intelligent
as our venerable fellow citizen, Col. John
son, "of Pique," whose evcntful life we
are all so familiar with Mr.. Hamilton
too, is lingering among us, the last of
those favored men who were conversant
with the affairs of our republic in the
days of those apostles Of liberty, whose
writings we cherish, and whose acts have
followed them thus far in preserving what
was so nobly won by their yalor, their
wisdom, and incorruptible patriotism in
the darkest hour of our history.
was impressed with veneration and
profound respect for this gentleman, Mr..
Hamilton, on being introduced to him,
and learning, incidentally, in the course
ot conversation, that he, with the late
Wilson Carey Selden, of Virginia, and
four other young men, had the honor of
bearing the Father of his Country, Geo.
Washington, from his Death bed to the
family vault at Mount Vernon. (Mr.
Ii. was then youth, residing at Alex
andria, Virginia. Strange and startling
history, comprised within such brief
period There is among US, in the city
of Cincinnati, which was then an Indian
wild, man travelling in a few hours
from the Capital, who had gazed upon
Washington all his pride aud power
Of place in the hearts of the American
people--as their first President, and had
stood a strong, athletic youth beside the
couch where the Father of his Country
had slept his last sad sleep of death
one who had looked with weeping eyes
upon that form, which had so much of
majesty stamped upon his brow as to i'm
personate the idea of man endowed
with attributes diyine-such as Greece
or Rome, in their proudest days and lof-
test conceptions Of excellence and worth,
would have selected for a God.
We can scarcely realize the fact that
we are in the presence of one who wit
messed the events of that memorable
epoch that illuminated the world with
the fame of Washington, and which gave
birth and baptism in blood to our young
Republic. And it may be that there
is orc who shall live to see the crumbIing
Of that fair and stately fabric, built up
by the wisdom, virtue, and patriotism of
our fathers, which is now openly reviled,
condemned, and denounced by such men
as Seward, Chase, Giddings, and Wade.
Here is theme for the Press, fas the
patriot and statesman to present contin-
ually before the people. Shall We cher
ish the wisdom and virtue of Washington
and turn to his Farewell Address for
guidance, or look to the fanaticism of
modern demagogues to direct our steps
