George Washington.

Now that workingmen are clearing
away the scatfold from the tallest monu-
ment i'm the world, we are led to inquire
who was George Washington?
He was the father of his country for
one thing. He gave this country a start
that it has never fully recovered from.
He was also first in peace, first in war
and FIRST in the hearts of his countrymen.
He did not take the position on account
of the salary. At that time the pay was
not large, yet George attended to his
work well. He would get up before
daylight and work till late into the
night. He very seldom took holiday,
and used to work right on through the
22d of February as he did other days
George Washington was different from
some of our modern statesmen in many
respects. He scorned to enter conven'
ton and grapple with the delegates all
day. He did not seek to be President
30 hard as some have since done. He
simply placed himself in the hands Of
his friends and let nature take its course
The more l study the character Of
George Washington the more l regret
his untimely death. We nee1 him al
most every day. If he could see how
badly his orphan country needs hin
sometimes, it seems as though he would
o,,sost omen the door of the Mount Yer
non smoke house and come forth.
A very curious incident occurred II
the life of George Washington which
now appears in print Tor the first time
II seems that George was given sinai

II should be Generally Knowa

that the multitude of diseases OF scrot-
ulous nature generally proceed from
torpid condition Of the liver. The blood
becomes impure because the liver does
not act properly and work off the poison
from the system, aud the certain results
are blotches, pimples, eruptiOns,, swell
ings, tumors, ulcers, and kindred af1tc,
tions, or settling upon the lungs and
poisoning their delicate tissues, Until
liberation, breaking down, and consump-
ton is established. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery" will, by acting upon
the liver and purifying the blood, cure
all these diseases.
