Memories Of Mount Vernon.

We wander all through the sad, silent
mansion. We look at the spindlc.legged
furniture, and rusty KEY on the wall, the
key Of the bastile. We see Washington's
~-cst and small clothes in the glass case,
and lock Of his hair, and original letters
by his hand and LaFayctte's. We see
pretty Elcneor Eustis' wedding gift, harp
sicord that her stepfather brought from
foreign lands, Ior surprise when she left
her girlhood' sohome. The pretty Eleneor
/, buried long. All traces OF her pink and
white beauty have left the earth; here
stands the dusty harpsicord, brought back
by strange hands to her old home. The
room that interests me most is the tiny at
tic chamber where the devoted widow
passed her husbands death. The large
chamber below was closed after his de-
cease. None entered it from that time on.
A rug and single bed Mrs. Washington had
winter and summer, she watched witt,
longing, crazy eyes the tomb that held
her dead. There was no place for stove OF
CRATE; all day in the room under the root
she sat by the small window C,er feet in
winter on zinc foot stove filled with
coal>), with a shawl, wrapped around her
bent form; true Martha Washington, first
lady OF the la..l: First in elegance in time
ot peace; in courage in time Of war; IL
ti.ithfllness in time OF death. All women
look with tendcrer eyes at the small marble
resting place than at the grander casket b,
their side. One bears upon it a drapee
flag cut in the stone, a shield and crouch
Ing eagle; the other only the words.

A singular accident happened to Pru.
dence Arch, young colored woman Of
Quogue, on Tuesday. She was standing
by the creek watching fish hawk that
was seemingly anxious to alight She
watched the hawk with her mouth wide
open and a hornet stung her in the roof Of
the mouth. She swallowed the hornet and
It stung her inwardly. DR.. Benjamin OF
Riverl.ead attended the injured woman,
and she was pronounced out Of danger

An Unpublished Story Of ''Pop''
Thomas.

During the sci SC OF Nashville Il Confed.
crate battery, placed upon a hill, was seri
ouslv annoying part of Pop Thomas
line. Riding up to Col. James Brownlow,
the old man said: "Col. Brownlow, want
those guns, and want them bad at the
same time pointing with his sword toward
the Offending battery. Drawing his sword
and stepping out in front Of his regiment
he said: ''Nle',, the old man says he wants
them guns, and saws he wants them bad
Everybody was silent for = moment. and
then Il sixtooter sung out: "Bovs, ii Old
Pop wants those guns he ought to have
them, for it looks mighty unhealthy up
that way" y perfect storm Of laughter
swept along the line and then the boys
started up for the guns and got them for
the old man, though many poor fellow
who started for them never got back again

"My baby" were the words that fell
From off mothers tongue;
And cheek and lip, grown ashen pale.
Told how her heart was wrung.
No longer at the Nations head
She sees him honored stand,
But as a bate within her arms,
The last OF her fair band.
MY baby" stricken down and slain
BY an assassin's hand;
my baby" but the peoples choice,
The honored OF the land.
All honors for moments time
Seem lightly swept aside;
No more our ruler, but her babe,
Pressed to his mothers side.
MY baby" and the flying years
Seem backward rolled apacc;
Again within her arms he lies
With charming infant grace.
She clasps him tondly to her breast
And sOothes his infant cry;
She lulls him tenderly to rest
And sings his lullaby.
"My baby" and once more his feet
Go pattering DER the floor;
His toys are scatter here and there,
As in the days Of yore--
The picture-book, with leaves all torn,
And marked by fingers small;
The little shoe, SD old and worn,
The marbles, top and ball.
"My baby" Oh, the boundless love
Those two short words express;
AS houndless as the blue above,
As deep and fathomlcss
As yon blue sea, whose mighty waves
Within its bosom hide
The lovely flower and treasure rare,
Which ever there abide.
Our Father and our God. to Thee
We lift our hearts in prayer;
II unto Thee it seemeth good,
Wilt Thou her baby spare?
Spare unto her his strong right arm
TO be her staff and stay,
On which to lean while walking dowr
Lies rough and rugged way.
