WASHINGTON LOVED HIS MOTHER,

Immediately after the organization Of
the present government, General Washing
ton repaired to fredericksburg, to pay his
humble duty to his mother, preparatory to
his departure for New York. An affecting
scene cnsucd. The son ieelingIy remarked
the ravages which a torturng disease had
made Upon the aged frame of his MOTHER
and thus addressed her:
"T'ie people, madam, have been pleased
with the most ilal,erug unaniuity, to elect
me to the chief ,nagistracy Of the United
States; but Lctore can assume the func
tons Of my office, have come to bid YOU
an atleclIonate farewell. So soon us the
public business which must necessarily
be encountered in arranging new gov
ernmcnt, can be disposed Of shall hasten
TO Virginia, and"-
Here the matron interrupted him "You
will see lie no more my great age, and
the disease which is fast approaching my
vitals, warn me that shall not be long
of this world. trust in God, am some
what prepared fora better But 60, George,
fulfill the high destinies which Heaven
appears to have assigned you; 60, my son,
and may that Heavens and your mothers
blessing be with you always"
The prcsiden WAS deeply affected. Ills
head rested upon the shoulder of his pa
rent, whose aged arm fecbly yet fondly en-.
circled his neck. That brow on which
fame had wreathed the purest laurel virtue
ever gave to created man, relaxed from its
lofty bearing. That look which could have
awed a Eoman senate in its FaLrician day,
was bent in filial tenderness upon the
time-worn features of the venerable ma
tron.
The great man wept. A thousand recol-
lections crowded upon his mind, as mem
ory, retracing scenes long past, carried him
back to the paternar mansion and the days
of his youth, and there the centre of at.
traction was bis mother, whose care, in
struc.fons, and discipline had prepared him
to reach the topmost height of laudable
ambition yet how were his glories forgot
ten while he gazed upon her, from whom,
wasted no time and malady, be must soon
part to meet no more 1875
The matroh's prediction were true. The
disease which had so long preyed upon her
frame completed its triumph, and sine, ex,

AMERICAN LIBERTY.

Extract from speech, delivered in the
United States Senate, by Mr.. Grundy of
Tennessee -
elf ever the Liberties of America are
lost, the last great battle will be fought
upon this floor-in all time to come. here
will be found some American Catos. who
will be ready to say with the good old
patriot Romans, We will hold it out and
fight to the last; Heaven and earth shall
witness, if America must fall, that we are
innocent. Yes, MIR. President, when the
goddess of liberty shall find no resting.

spirit of anarchy or despotism shall expel

PATRICK HENRY.

The moment that the United States
had established their independence on a
firm basis, Patrick Henry, SO renowned
Tor the bold and active part he took in
elfecling this revolution, was the lirst to
forget all previous animosities, and to
hold out the hand of reconciliation and
peace. lie was strong advocate for every
measure which could induce the return of
the refugees, who had cspouscd the cause of
tho mother. country, and made PROPOSE
ton in their favor, which was very severely
animadverted upon by some Of the most
respected members Of Congress. Among
others, Judge Tyler, the speaker of the As
scmhly, vchemcn,ly opposed him, and, in
Il committee Of the House, demanded chow
he, above all other men, could think Of in
vi'ing into his family al enemy from
whose insults and injuries he had suffered
so sevcrcy?" The following was his
prompt aud beautiful reply:
IL acknowledge, indeed, sir, that !
have many personal injuries Of which to
complain; but when | enter this hall of
legislation, cndcavor rs far as human in
Trinity will permit, to leave all personal
feelings behind Inc. This question is a
national one, and, i'll deciding it, if you
act wisely, YOU will regard nothing but the
interest Of the nation. On the altar of my
country's good, am willing to sacrifice all
personal rcsentmcnts, all private wrongs :;
and | am sure should mos, ab>urdly flat
ter myself, if Thought that | was the
only person in ;his Louise capable Of making
such Il sacrifice"
MIR. Henry then proceeded tc show, in
II very fo,cihle manner, the policy of using
every possible mca..s Of au-lncu,inr the
population Of country us yet SO thnly
inhabited Il, America, whose future great
ness he thus pr ph"tIcally depic,ed:
Encourage !gratiom-cncourag the
husban,imcm, the mechanics, the merchants
Of The Old World. to cor and settle in
This world OF pr"misc-make it tie home
of Inc skiitul, the Industrious ANA happv,
as well rs Tic asylum Of the distressed
I'LL up Tie measure of your population rs
speedily as y"', can, by the means Which
Heaven hath pacci in your power, aud, |
venture To prophc<y, there arc those now
living who will see this favored land among
the most powerful on earth. Yes, sir, they
will see her great i'll arts and in ar,ns-her
golden harvests waving over inmeasurablc
eXlcnt-her commerce penetrating the
most distant seas, and her cannon s;lcnc-
ing the vain Lo;,st Of those who now al.
feet 10 rule the waves"
MIR. He"ry's proposition was carried,
and every succeeding year proves that his
anticipations were well founded. Ame,ic;.
soon experienced the policy Of his counscs !;
and, tide after tide, emigration has ever
since continued to roll wealth and improve
mcnt over her provinces.
