Personal Remini.cence Of washington.

From the Washington States.
We have been favored with the following
extracts from letter written by an estima-
bic and enlightened German gentleman now
in his eighty-fourth year, to his friend in
this city. Although ffty-eight years have
elapsed since the good old German was last
in this country, yet we understand he has
made it an invariable custom, ever since, to
celebrate at his own house, our two great
national holidays-the 4th Of July and 22d
of Febraury-annually:
BREMEN, JAN, 1859
My Dear Sir: have the pleasure to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your letter Of 28th
Of December and avail myself Of the first post
to express my thanks for the interesting in
telligence which it communicates. That
which affords me the most Joy is the refer
ence made to the purchase, by American Ia
dies of Mount Vernon the domestic residence
of the immortal Father Of your great Repub-
lie. The noble purpose of your fair country
women to rescue the hallowed spot on which
he passed the last days Of his glorious life
from further dilapidation, to preserve the
unpretending old mansion from utter ruin,
and to embellish the grounds, is as praise
worthy and creditable to the Union as was
that lofty patriotism which distinguished the
Spartan mothers. May Almighty God bless
them for this work of national gratitude
too long alas delayed by their fathers, hus-
bands and brothers
In my paror is suspended an engraving Of
Mount Vernon, and in my front hall pie
ture Of General Washington, which embra.
ces Mrs. Washington and Miss GUSTS My
eyes love to linger upon these faithful me
mentoes Of other years. They wildly call to
my mind the day. the proudest day of my
life-that passed upon the beautiful banks
OF the Potomac, in the family ofthe best and
greatest parsonage the world has ever pro-
duced. 1t was in May, 1898, now nearly
sixty-one years ago
was seated at his right at dinner, and
recollect as distinctly his majestic bearing
as if it were yesterday Though of NOR
tality his overpowering presence inspired an
impression that he belonged to Immortality
His stateliness, his serene face, the perfect
simplicity of manner, and the words of wis
dom which he uttered led me irresistiblv to
the belief that he was an emanation OF the
Omnipotent for the marvellous work that he
had then just consummated. 1t was my good
fortune to contemplate him in his retirement
after he had left nothing undone that he
could perform for the republic of his creation
and after he had quilted Office forever
What. privilege | enjoyed in being his
welcome guest OF the 5000, 900 of people
in Europe | imagine am the only person,
since the death of Lafayette, who was 50 fai.
vored as to break bread and take wine with
him at his own table, May his pure spirit
guide your government in all coming time,
through any difficulties in which it may find
itself encompassed May his disinterested
patriotism be emulated through countless
generations, by his successors in the Exec
utive Mansion.

His dimpled face. all bright with bloom,
Peeps out, as rosy vapors peep
Sometimes from clouds Of wintry gloom.
He'll slyly pull his brothers hair,
Or steal their toys, and run to me.
But when they gather round to prayer,
He, too, will bend his little knee;
And though he scarce can speak word,
There's worship in his speaking eye.
And Robby's prayer know is heard,
When he looks up to GODS blue sky.
