nia-How the Day Will Be Observed
by the National Guard and People,

One hundred ana forty years ago to-day was
born In Warrington parish. Westmoreland county,
Virginia. George washington, the "Father OF his
Country" whose birth the nation to-day commemo-
rate with appropriate ceremonies. Seventy
three years ago the venerable patriot
and statesman, loaded down with honors
quietly passed from earth at Mount Vernon,
surrounded by those he loved In life. and who
watered his bier with tears OF affection as he was
tendery lowered into hts final resting place few
days after. Since the memorable l4th OF December,
1789. when he surrendered his spirit to the God who
gave IT. other patriots have come, bowed, played
their parts IN our nations history and passed away
through the dark Valley OF DEATH but the names of
none are surrounded with such halos Of glory as
hts. Since then we nave passed through exciting
periods In our history anu for brief intervals the
commemoratlon OF his virtues Oy public demonstra-
lions has fallen into dlsuse This was especially
the case during the war, when mOmentous events
drew the eyes Of the people away from the sacred
ground by the side Of the swift-runnng Potomac 10
the tented fields and the charging lines OF other
heroes who carried death on their bay0net points
and victory on their banners.
But now when the broad mantle OF peace drops
its folds and encompasses the land from the Allan
tic to the Pacific, and Americans have time TO re-
fleet upon our past vtcssitudes and victories, It IS
evident that each returning 22d OF February Ia
OF George washington revered and nooored. This
is shown in the great preparations that have been
made to observe the day in o becoming manner in
all the larger cities OF the country, and, indeed,
wherever our nag is known and respected.
