Memories of Mounl Vernon.

We wandered all through the sad,
silent mansion. We looked at the
spindle-legged furniture, and rusty
key on the wall, the key to the bas-
tile. We see Washington's vest and
small clothes in the glass case, and
a lock of his hair, and original let
tiers by his hand and La Fayette's.
We see pretty Eleneor Eustis' we'd
ding gift, harpsichord that her step
father brought from foreign lands
for a surprise when she left her girl
hoods home. The pretty Eleneor is
buried long ago. All traces of her
pink and white beauty have left the
earth; here stands the rusty harpsi-
chord, brought back by strange
hands to her old home. The room
that interests me most is the tiny
attic chamber where the devoted
widow passed her husband S death.
The large chamber below was clos
ed after his decease. None entered
it from that time on. A rug and
single bed Mrs. Washington had
moved to the attic room, and here,
winter and summer, she watched
with longing eyes the tomb that
held her dead. There was no place
for stove or CRATE; all day in the
room under the roof she sat by the
small window (her feet in winter on
link foot stove filled with coals),
with shawl wrapped around her
bent form; true Martha Washing.
ton, first lady of the land First in
elegance, in time of peace, in cour-
age in time of war; in faithfuIness in
time of death. All women look
with tenderer eyes at the small mar
BILE resting place than at the grander
casket by their side. One bears up
on it draped flag cut in the stone,
a shield and crouching eagle; the
other only the words:

It will not wear or break off the germ of
the grain while passing through the grain

weight taken from the horses necks 9th.
1t is the only Spring-hoe Drill that has
patent check link which holds the pressure

Eut the strength of that loves az loud.
All in the glare OF q diamond,
All in the blush OF a rose,
iIi ia the sheen of a sunbeam,
Lives love in fair rcposc,
And the winds may war fierce In the heavens
Men may rave in the gloom OF night,
And the torrents may dash on the worlds lace,
still, even that love is bright.
All in the tin;c OF !. daisy,
All In the peal OF a rill,
Ali in the CLEAN of 4 dew drop,
Lives Il love rs strong as will;
And the fire may belcE high from the noun

And the firc may hiss in tho sea,
Zen great nature may heayc in her grandeur;
That loves tween nature and me.

Home, sweet Home"
Ner York Methedist.


In the spring of 1858 two great armies
were encamped on either side Of the Kappa
hammock river, one dressed in blue and the
other in gray. As twilight fell the bands on
the Union side began to play "The Star
Spangled Banner" and "Rally Round the
Flag" and that challenge Of music was
taken up by those Oh the other side and they
responded with the " Bonnie Blue Flag"
and Away Down South in Dixie" Ii WAS
borne in upon the soul Of single soldier in
one Of those bands Of music TO begin q
sweeter and more tender air, and slowly as
he played it they joined in sort of chsrus
of all the instruments upon the Union side,
until finally u great and mighty chorus
swelled up and down our army" Home,
Sweet Home" When they had finished
there was no challenge yonder, for every
band upon that further shore had taken up
the lovely air 50 attuned TO all that is holi-
est and dearest, and one great chorus Of the
two great hosts went up to God; and when
they had finished, from the boys in gray
came a challenge, Three cheers for homer
and as they went resounding through the
skies from both sides of the river, some.
thing upon the soldiers cheeks washed of
the stains of powder"

What frightened Stonewall jackson
in Mexico.

Governor jackson, of West Virginia, says:
Il recollect asking Stonewsll, who was my
cousin, If he had ever had been frightened
In war. He said yes, once he had been con-
siderably under sense of fear. 1t was in
the City of Mexico. A chest containing q
large sum Of money had been put In Lieu.
tenant Jackson's charge, and to be perfectly
secured OF II he ordered 1t carried to his
eadquarters, in an old abbey, or convent,
and laid down there alone in the room with
II to sleep, sentinel walking the corridor
outside. He had been there in bed only a
few minutes, and was getting drowsy, when
he distinctly heard something under his he'd,
which lifted up as though man was Sc
creted there. Jackson said he leaped out OF
bed and drew his sword and examined the
bed and the room in vain. Jackson then
supposed he had been possibly dreaming
and resumed his bed. just as lie was think.
ing 1t was all mistake, his bed lifted again
plainly and with some force. He started
forth second time, sword in hand, and be
hold, nothing was there. This time said
he, / was scared indeed, until my attention
| was called to a shouting outside in the
street, aud then found that II was an earth
quake passing under the City of Mexico
that had lifted my bed up and given mn
such apprehension

Il is an awful thing to be absent minded
The story Is told of certain Philadelphia
gentleman, who discovered this at his cost.
II 90 happened the other day that the dining
room Of the club which he frequents was
ouite full, when a man who CHANGED to know
his particular failing came in very hungry.
The waiter told the newcomer there was ne
chance at present. Spying our absent
minded friend comfortably seated and read
ing the newspaper, brilliant idea STRUCK
the hungry man.
alas Mr.. A. dined yet ?" he ques
toned.
"No. sir" replied the waiter.
"Well, never mind take him his bill and
tell him he has had his dinner.n
The waiter hesitated moment, and ther
approaching the situation went over to Mr.
A. and handed him his bill.
aWhat is this for?" quoth thepoor fellow.
"For your dinner, sir"
"Ny dinne.-ah, have really had IL ?"
"Ye., SIR" replied the waiter in all limo
cence.
aDear me. / had an idea was waiting
for 1t. What curious mistake"
And witha contemplatiye smile Mr.. A.
sauntered out Of the room, leaving his table
for the genius who had profted BY hi,
absent mindedness.
