~ Clothing trade Of the West comparatively
Of small amount, and WAS confined almost exclu-
svely to retail business in the larger towns and
cities alone. Now this line of Goods has become
almost Indispensable part of the stock of every
general Dry Goods store from the crowded city to
the cross-rOad stand. Like all changes in trade,
however, this one has not been produced except for
the best of reasons. Among these are the great
saving of material by cutting a large quantity Of
garments tOgether--the superior work and speed OF
sewing machines in Inanufacturing-the great saw
ing of time in waiting for your t'turn" at the Tai
lors--the uncertainty Of even thea getting satis-
factory 'sht and above all the saving of at least
Oae-half the cost of the garment in the price For
number of years this has only been part of
general Dry Goods business, but We have made
arrangements to devote whole house exclu-
svely to il alone with such lines of Notions and
furnishing Goods will be necessary and desirable
in that trade Belle wing that the true interest of
the trade will be to sustain in this enterprise,

of lI75, and was member of the Virginia
Assembly in the spring, when Patrick Hen
ry made his famous war speech, which was
closed with TIE burning word: {. What is
it that gentlemen wish What would they
have Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as
to be purchased at the price of chains and
slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I
know not what course others may take,
but as for me, give me liberty or give me
death - With these words of Henry ring
ing in his ears, Washington returned to
Mount Vernon, and prepared for a journey
to Philadelphia, there to take his seat as a
member of the second Continental Con-
gress. Just at the close of mild April
day, while he and his neighbor, Bryan
Fairfax, with Major Gates, were discussing
the stirring events at williamsburg, con-

republican heart in Virginia to actions
messenger came in haste from Alexandria,
bearing intelligence of bloodshed at Lex
ington and Concord. That intelligence made
a deep but widely different impression on the
minds of the three friends. The gentle
Fairfax, even then inclined to enter the
gospel ministry, which he afterward
adorned, was drawn, by the ties of consan-
guinity and ancestral reverence, to the side
of the parent country. He was much dis
treSsed by the tidlngs from the East, for he
perceived the gathering of cloud of mis-
cries for his country, and the peril of all
pleasant social relations. Gates, ambitious
of military glory, and eagerly looking for
the honors and emoluments of Office, for
which he had long played the sycophant in
London, was delighted by this opening of
an avenue to field of action wherein they
might be won; while Washington, COM
muning with the intuitions of his loftier
spirit, became thoughtful and reserved, and
talked little, but wisely, on the subject
But he resolved nobly and firmly to go zeal
ously into whatever conflicts might arise for
the defence of the liberties of his country
All regarded the event as the casting away
of the scabbard, as the severing blow to
colonial allegiance.

THREE yIRGISIASs,

On "Wednesday morning, the 31st Of Au-
gust, 1774, two men approached Mount
Vernon ON horseback. One of them was a
slender man, very plainly dressed in a suit
of minister'a gray, and about forty years of
age. The other was his senior ia years,
likewise of slender form, and a face remark
able for its expression of unclouded intelli-
gence. He was more, carefully dressed,
more polished in manners, and much more
fluent in con yersation than his companion.
I They reached Mount Vernon at seven
O'Clock, and after an exchange of saluta-
tions with Washington and his family, and
partaking of breakfast the three retired to
! the library, and were soon deeply absorbed
in the discussion of the great questions then
agitating the people of the colonies. The
/ two travellers were Patrick Henry and Ed
hmand Pendleton. A third, the silver
tongued Cicero of Virginia. Richard Henry

been detained at Chantilly, his seat in West

the next morning they set out on horseback
for Philadelphia, to meet the patriots from
other colonies there. 1gsg T#g EtBF

A shadow fell upon Mount Vernon in the
spring of l773.ss No child had blessed the
union of Washington and his wife, and her
two children received the most tender care
and solicitude from their step-father. He
appeared to love them as bis own. Martha

form, winning ways, and so much brunette

hand upon her. For several months her

alarming letter reached him. lie had just
\ made arrangements to accompany Lord
! Dunmore, the governor, on long tour of
observation west of the mountains, but he
hastened to Mount VerDon. He found the
dear child in the last moments of earthly
life His manly spirit was bowed with
grief, and with deep feeling he knelt at the
side of her bed and prayed most earnestly
/ for her recovery. Upon the wings of that
| holy prayer, her spirit assembled, and when
he arose and looked upon her pale and placid

CONCLUDED.

The labOrs in his library, and visit to
his stables, usually occupied the hours be-
fore breakfast. After making q frugal meal
of Indian cakes, honey. and tea or coffee, he
would moent his horse and visit every part
of his estate where the current operations
seemed to require his presence, leaving his
guests to enjoy themselves with books and
papers, or Otherwise according to their
choice. He rode upon his farms entirely
unattended, opening the gates, pulling down
and putting up the fences, and inspecting,
with careful eye, every agricultural op-
Grafton, and personally directing the man
ner in which many should be performed
Sometimes the tour of his farms, in the
course of single morning, might average,
in distance, twelve or fifteen miles and on
these occasions his appearance was exceed
ingly plain. The late Mr.. Custis, his adopt
ed son, has left on record description of
him on one of theee occasions, in the latter
years of his life, which he gave to gen.
tleman who was out in search of Washing
ton q. 49,
You will meet, sir, said young Gusts
to the inquirer, "with an old gentleman,
riding alone, in plain drab clothes, broad
brimmed white hat, a hickory switch in his
hand, and carrying an umbrella with long
staff, which is attached to his saddle-bow-
that person, sir, is General Washington"
The umbrella was used to shelter him from
the sun, for his skin was tender and easily
affected by its rays.
PoHIcK CHURCH.
During the earlier years of his married
life, Washington attended Pohick church,
seven miles from Mount Vernon, more fire.
quently than any other. The first church
80 b,,f1 a,l II
on the south side of Pohick creek, about two
miles from the present edifce. About the
year 1864, it became so dilapidated as to be
no longer fit for use. The parishioners were
called together to consult upon the erection
of new one. Among those assembled was
Washington, and the father of George Ma
son, then advanced in years and greatly re-
spected. When the question of the location
of the new church came up for considera-
ton, there was difference of opinion. Mr..
Mason was in favor of the old site, and
Washington, was opposed to it. Mr.. Mason
made pathetic appeal in favor of the old
site, pleading that there was the spot where
their fathers had worshipped, and it was
consecrated by their graves which surround
ed it. Washington and others took the
ground that the spot was far less convenient
for the parish than more central one. The
subject took shape that required more re-
Election, and second meeting was called
Meanwhile, Washington made careful sur
vey of the whole neighborhood, marking the
place of every house, and the relative dis
tanees, on a distinct map. When the second
meeting was held, Mason again appealed to
the sympathies of the people, when WASH
ington APPEALED to their common sense, By
simply presenting his map and explaining
it in few words. His almost mute argu-
ment prevailed, and the site of the present
church was selected. Il
