The Florida agriculturist., 1889-02-20
A Mother Of the Old Regime.

The manners OF our forefathers still ex-
ercise a fascination over many who were
brought up in the ''good old days" In
deed, many who have attained unto
luxuries undreamed OF fifty years ago
still delight to recall the severer life of
their youth. Among these is Rev. Robert
Collyer, who retains an undisguised
admiration for the sturdy and rugged
discipline to which he was submitted
when a boy. Of the way in which his
mother cared for her children he has re-

crown, that he might maintain the prin-
ciples upon which our government was
founded
Not long after this treaty of peace
was concluded, and
"In their ragged regimentals
Stood the old Continentals,'
to receive thelast memorable farewell ad-
dress of their commander-in-chief. 1t
seemed like death to part with him and
each other, having fought and suffered
through seven long years together 1t is
said that as their ranks broke for the last
tinre the band struck up the tune 'Roslyn
Castle, which was always played when a
dead comrade was carried to his grave.
Then that gallant old revolutionary
army was turned loose upon the world,
many penniless and in tatters, not fit to
be seen even on the highways, with none
but impoverished homes to go to, if any
at ALL There was no lucrative business,
nor any fat government offices awaiting
any of them in consideration for all their
heroic courage and valor 1t is well, in
deed, on this legal holiday to remember
the heroic deeds of those grand old
patriots-they deserve our honor and
love in large measure

BY MRS. ]. II. FARR.
Washington's Birthday.

nations life, it is well to recall one or
two Incidents which will emphasize the
true nobility of his character.
Not many, perhaps, are fully aware OF
what they owe to George Washington
during one Of the most perilous times OF
our nations history, at the close OF the
Revolutionary war, when but for his
sagacity and answering adherence to
the principles of justice, his ready tact and
prudence, and withal the fast hold he had
on the affections of the people, our
country might have been plunged into a
disastrous civil war. Impoverished as it
was, it was in no condition to undergo
any more strife-much less internal strife.
The facts were these: Nearly at theclose
of the war, just as the bright day was
dawning when our independence was
about to be secured, a very general dis
satisfaction arose among officers and
men of the army against Congress, be-
cause it had failed to pay them their
wages. Their families, in consequence,
were almost starving at home. Expect
ing, as all soldiers do, a short term of
service, they had madeshort enlistments,
and when obliged to remain longer than
they intended through greatsuffering and
privation to themselves, as well as to
their loved ones at home, it is notstrange
that murmurings loud and deep came
to Washington's ears. Instinctively they
turned to him for protection and aid.
What position to occupy! On the one
hand was half-starved army clamoring
for bread, and in danger of becoming
mutinous, while on the other was blind
and inefficient Congress- He could do
nothing more than to urge the longer for
bearance of the men, while he sent re-
peatedly urgent appeals to the govern
ment to aid his suffering and faithful
army.
Just at this time, during his deepest
anxiety and trouble, a dazzling scheme
was presented to him, which many man
would hardly have resisted, certainly |
none in these day of political ambition
and power. Nowhere do we see the no. |
bleness of Washington's character and |
his strict adherence to principle more
than when he refused to be made king. |
Said he, when his friends proposed to |
make him king, hoping thereby to relieve
his suffering army: "Sir, it swith aInixt-
ure of surprise and astonishment have
read the sentiments you have submitted
for my perusal. Be assured, sir no occur
rences in the course of the war have given
me more painful sensations than your in
formation of there being such ideas ex-
listing in the army as you express, and
which | must view with adherence and
reprehend with severity / am at much
loss to conceive what part of my conduct
could have given encouragement to an
address which, to me, seems big with the
greatest mischief that can befall my coun-
try. II ] am not deceived in my knowl-
edge of myself, you could not have found
a person towhom your schemes are more !
disagreeable. Let me conjure you then,
as you have regard for your country, for
yourself, or posterity, or respect for me,
to Danish these thoughts from your
mind"
In no way would this good man yield
