AT Alexandria, Virginia, stands the
old church in which Washington used
to worship. 1t was begun in 176G, and
consecrated in the year I773. The
walls are twenty-five inches in thick
ness, and the bricks were all brought
from England. The sides of the church
are SO thickly covered with ivy that
the shutters eau scarcely be opened,
and the stems of the ivy are like young
trees. An old style churchyard sur
rounds it OH three sides, the ancient
tOmbstones containing many quaint
epitaphs and photographed puzzles.
Within, the pcws are very straight
and high, the one occupied by WASH
ington being larger than the others.
On one side of the pulpit is marble
tablet sacred to the memory of George
Washington ON the other side, aud
exactly similar. is one sacred to the
memory of Gen. Il. E. Lee, both placed
there since the war. The Masonic
Lodge room in which Washington SO
many times ofiiciated as WOrshipful
Master, situated in a street running of
from King, Is remembered by per-
son who visited it in 1862, just before
the battle of Antieiam, as carefully
in all its antique habiIi-
ments, including the sirright backed
chair and gavel used by Washington. :

YANK FEE DOODLE.

After the Ministers PlenipOtentiary
Of Great Britain and the United States
had nearly completed their specific
labors al Ghent, the burghers of that
quaint old Dutch city determined to
give an entertainment i'm their honor,
and desired to have national airs of
the two treaty.making powers per-
formed as part of the programme. SO
the musical directors were directed to
call upon the American Ministers and
obtain the music of the National air
of the United States.
A consultation. ensued, at which
Bayard and Gallatin favored "Hail
Columbia" and Clay, Russell and Ad-
ans were decidedly in favor of Yam
kee Doodle"
The musical director asked if any Of
the gentlemen had the music, and re-
ceiving negative reply, suggested
that perhaps one of them could sing
or whistle the air.
81 can't" said Mr.. Clay. 81 never
whistled or sung tune in my life
perhaps Mr.. Bayard CAM 2"
Neither can l." replied Mr.. Bayard
''pcrhaps Mr.. Russell can?'
Mr.. Russell, Mr.. Gallatin and Mr..
Adams in turn confessed their lack OF
musical ability.
81 have it, exclaimed Mr.. Clay, and
ringing the bell he summoned his COL
Ored body servant.
''John," said Mr.. Clay, whistle
Yankee Doodle for this gentleman"
John did SO, the chief musician
noted down the air, and at the enter
tainment the Ghent Burghers Band
played the National air of the United
States with variations.

HINTS TO TIE GIRLS:

/ An old stagcr, who has been through
the mill, gives the following parental
advice to the girls:
Take lessons OH the piano and learn
to paint and sing, but let your mother
do the washing.
Do worstcd work, and make nice
little neckties for the heathcn, but
don't acquire that mystic art to cook
''pork aud beans"
Go to boarding school and pursue
some French, Spanish, and German,
but neglect your good old mother
English.
Flaty deny the soft impeachment
that you are engaged. Treat your
young sprig precisely as if you were
ashamed of him. 1t is compliments
ry, anyhow, to the young sprig.
When, you laugh, laugh heartily.
Your gold Filings may be seen. 1t is
a card for the dentist. s
Tell people who are posted, and con-
sequently know better, that you arc
exactly nineteen last or'next summer,
you forget which. They'll believe it,
you know.
Say naughty things Of your rival
and neXt-door neighbOr, and speak
disparagingly of Miss Q.'s nose. But
entirely overlook your own incongrm-
tiles.
by all means tote Z nice little dog
after YOU on the street. There Is q
chance of yeur being taken for some
one else, while it speaks volumes
for the dog. lf.fts
Walk four abreast and keep the cen
ter OF the sidewalk, but never for, a
moment allow yourself to he discOn-
certed. It shows consideration for
the happiness OF others.
Finally, quit being girls by marry
ing some old bald-headed buffer, with
lots of Gin" and ruthlessly thrust
aside man of brains with a becom-
ing competency.

JoHNNY ANp HI. poG.

Johnny had a little dog,
With hair as black as jet,
And everywhere that Johnny went,
That purp went too-you bet.
He followed him to school one day,
That happened to be near,
But when the teacher booted him
He walked on on his ear.
Returning home he met q cow,
And at that COW did ny;
She tossed him five hundred feet,
And-how is that for high:
The poor curse nc'cr came down again.
And John was left a mourncr;
The purp was left on the steeple top.
OF the little church around the corner,
Yet Johnny wcpt his darling's fate,
Though scarce word he said,
But toddlcd home and weeping cried,
Now put me in my little bed.''

AN USsYMPATHIZING VOTER.

They say that the politician who is
not enthusiastic i'm the cause Of his
party is no politician at all, and this
may be the motive mental power
which forces some politicians To. ex-
tremes.
Iu a-charter election held in West
ern town the other day enthusiasm ran
high, and both parties made a lively
effort to get out u full party vote.
About an hour before the polls closed
it was discovered Thai the leading can
didate on one ticket was one vote
ahead, with no prospect That he could
secure another vote. The opposition
pOlled its full strength, but suddenly
remembered that n faithful member
was on q bed Of sickness. A carriage
was driven to his house, and The sick
mans wife met the committee ut the
door.
"My husband is a. the point OF
DEATH" She sadly replied to their in
terrogatories.
"Couldn't We carry him on lounge
inquired one of the men.
''IIe may not live two hours" she
replied.
Couldn't four of US take him on a
bed 2" continued the man.
Il think he is dying even now," she
replied.
''Does he know we are here 2"
''lle is unconscious"
''Dear me-. sighed the man, as he
