INTERESTING "REMINISCENCES, &c.
A recent visitor in the town of Fredericks
burg, Va, a place in which the said visitor
spent portion of his boyhood and early life
has gathered few facts relative to the
mother Of the immortal Washington, which
are quite interesting:
The most notable object of interest to o
visitor to this OLD, quiet, but extremely
agreeable town, is the house where once lived
and where died, "Mary, the mother of Wash.
ington." Even in its present greatly i'm
proved condition there is nothing in its
appearance specially imposing or attractive.
A plain, two-storied, white weather board
building, without architectural pretension
with no garden, not so much as foot of
ornamental grounds to separate it from the
street it would be passed unnoticed, but for
the fact that its once owner and occupant has
invested it with q historic interest. As it
stood in the days Of Mrs. Washington it was
of much more moderate proportions, inter-
nally cut up into small rooms, whose symme-
try anc comfort were not enhanced by the
awkward corner ire-places of vast dimensions.
Subsequent owners have modified the interi-
or, as we'll as the exterior. For many years

Sslett Qoetrg,
THE PARSON.

When was young, and fond of noise,
And wofc my first gray homespun jacket,
And fought stout battles with the boys,
And filled my fathers house with racket !;
Our well-beloved pastor died,
And left behind BIN scores of weepcrs-
Stout pillars of the church, long tried,
hswell as lesser props-and sleepcrs.
He was a patriarch, wise and gray,
One Of the od-lime Christian scholars;
Who chcered aflliction's weary way,
And gave III oppressed advicc-and dollar
The matrons' love for him, at last,
Sublined almost to veneration,
For he hid baptized one half the past,
And all the present generation.
Outside the church, the good man held
A comprehensive supervision,
And village quidnuncs we're compelled
{ To bow before his calm decision.
| Though party strife might rage and swell,
Or skeptics raise some knotty questions,
There came no storm he could not quell,
No doubt toe grave for his digestion.
| do remember well the scene,
| When, oil the congregation seated,
lie closed the book with revsnt mien,
And twice the pregnant text repeated
And then, as influenced from above,
His heart with holy themes expanding,
| Appealed to Faith end Christian Love.
As well as human understanding.
His looks, his tones, his earnest ways,
Form one of memory's pleasing pictures,
As he, in strong but homely phrase,
Impaired hope or uttered structures.
The velvet cap he always wore,
Whene'cr he thumped the pulpit cushion,
l.oomed like a beacon from the shore,
To warn us sinners from perdition.
The hest Of men cross must bear
SO Providence Of Fate contrive it;
Of private griefs he had his share,
And some that were not quite so private.
He might conceal the smcldering fire
Ofmeutal or domestic trial.
Dat troubles with the wrangling choir
Were patent as their own bass-vioI.
vi course, there was among his charge,
One busy, meddlng, ancient maiden,
Who, like fire-ship, roamed at large.
With furtive stores Of scandal laden.
She scattered brands of discord free,
She slandercd and annoyed tho parson,
Till all agreed she ought 10 be
Indicted for constr uctive arson.
On Wednesday nights he always madc
To us quiet pastoral visit;
So when the bell his touch betrayed
My mother never asked, "Who is it !"
But wheeling cut the easy chair,
With its inviting arms of leather,
She laid his pipe, with thoughtful cure,
And steel tobacco-box together.
Those genial times We're mellow ripe,
When folks were not inclined to bcker,
II ministers enjoyed pipo
And slipped a social glass of liquor;
10 while his cheerful features gowed,
And smoke.wreaths circled to the ceiling,
His talk in streams Of wisdom flowed,
Like waters from a ioust Of healing
We loved the man, revered him, too
AS who did not that ever know him !
His piety and kindness drew,
With cords of love, all classes to him.
His praise by men need not be lipped
To make our sorrowng hearts beat faster,
For memory holds secret crypt
Wishin is shrined our saintcd pastor.

several dangerous cases: "Boil fue Turkey

Affected, whether broken or not the part
must be washed every time the poultce is
changed with some of the milk use fresh
poultice night and morning, and OF least once
during the day, and drink q quarter of pint
OF the milk the figs ore boiled in twice in the
twenty four honrs. If the stomach will bear
it this must be persevered in for three or
four months at least. a man aged lO3 was
cured, about six years before his death, with
only six pounds OF figs. The cancer, which
began at the corner Of his mouth, had eaten
through his jaw, cheek, nud half wov down
his throat yet he was SO perfectly cured as
never to show any tendency to RETURN
Should i. ever do So the figs should be again

kEsToR1SG DAMAGED YELyET-Tbe Monitor
dc la salud publishes the following method of
restoring velvet to its original condition It is
well known that when velvet has been wet, no,
only It's appearance spoiled, but it becomcshard
and knotty' To restore its original softness. it
must be thoroughly damped on the wrong side.
and then held over a very hot iron, care being
taken not to LET it touch the latter. In Short
tlme the velvet becomes as it were, new again.
ne theory OF this is simple. The heat of the
IRON e'aporates the water through the tissue, and
FORCES the vapor out at the upper side; this vapor
passing through the different fbres, scparates
those which adhered together in hard bunche..
ii the velvet were ironed after damping, an ex.
actIy opposite result would be obtained it is,
therefore,, necessary that the substance should
not come in contact with the heated iron.
