Washington a Rejected suitor.

A writer in the New York Century. says OF
the lady who won washington's young heart,
and whose father rejected the tall young sol.
der, because he had not carriage for her to
ride about in :-"I shall 60 back o number Of
years In her life. and speak Of the event which
has made her namo one Of curious interest,"
Before she became Mrs. Edward Amber she
was called Mary Cary. Her father was Wilson
Cary, Esq, of f"Celey's," in the county of Eliz-
abeth City, descended from the noble family OF
Hudsons, in England. His relative, Colonel
Archibald Cary, of Ampthill, in Chesterfield,
was at his death, the heir apparent to the earl
dom. The worthy old gentleman seems. from
oil we know Of him, to have been as proud rs
the Caucys or the Somersets, and to have
thought his family the noblest in the land. He
lived In great state, with chariot and horses,
plate and velvet aad embroidery-a worthy of
the school, fully satisfied with the "order Of
things" and enjoying serenely the good gifts of
Providence. His beautiful daughter was a
great heiress, and had many suitors-the acci-
dent which befell one of them has made her re-
mcmbered, in many books. He was young
man of very high character, relative of
George William Fairfax, Esq, who lived at the
Potomac and here he met with Miss Cary,
who came to visit Mrs. Fairfax, her elderly
sister. The young man at once proceeded to
fall in love which he did with On ardor charac-
teristic Of his nature. When Miss Cary went
back to Celeys. on James river, he followed her,
like courageous gallant, and laid open siege
to the fair fortress: In the good old times,
however, something more was necessary than
the consent of the young lady /; so the youth
duly asked private interview with the awful
lord OF the manor, who listened to him silently
throughout.
"When the lover had finished, Mr.. Cary rose,
made low bow, and said that II this was Mr..
washington's GRAND at Ccley's his visit had
better terminate his daughter had been accus-
toned to ride in her own chariot. And with
this alluson to thepoorc orcondition Of the young
er son, the interview terminated. Young WASH
ington bowed and went away, and in due time.
married Martha cambridge Custis, who "rcsem-
bled Miss Cary" says my authority. "as much
as one twin sister resembles another"
But the old tradition does not end here. Ma
ny years passed away-Mary Cary, was Mrs.
Amber. and her discarded sutor was the man
who had just received the sword Of Lord Corn
wallis at Yorktown, whom the whole civilized
world had hailed as greatest among the great
"the foremost man." not only of America, but
of all the world He passed through the me.
tropolis of Williamsburg, at the head of his VIC
torious troops, and the people were almost cra-
zy with JOY and alteration. The vast multitude
nearly prevented his horse from proceeding

ly! All Mt onceahe perceived, at window or
in the crowd, his old love Mary Cary. He
raised his sword and saluted her profoundly
