wAsHINGToN's ANSWER

TO the Mayor, Corporation, and Citizens of
Alexandria
Gentlemen, Although ought not con-
ceal, ye: cannot describe tEepainfni emo.
lions which ] felt, in being called noon to
determine whether would accept, or refuse
the Presidency of the United States.
The unanimity in the choice-the oninion
of my friends communicated from different
parts OF Europe, ss well as America-the
apparent wish of those who were not en-
irely satisfied with the Constitution in its
present form, and an ardent desire, on my
own part TO be Instrumental in conciliatiDg
the good will OF my couDtrymen towards
each other, have Induced an acceptance.
Those who know NE best (and you, my
fellow citizens, are, from your situation, in
that numbef) know better than any others,
my love of retirement is so great, that no
earthly consideration, short of q conviction
of duly, could have prevailed upon me to
depart from my resolution, never more to
take any share in transactions of public
nature"
For, at my age, and in my circumstances,
what possible advantage could ] propose to
myself. from em5a,king again on the tenn
pestuous and uncertain ocean OF public life?
do not feel myself under The necessity of
making public declarations in order to con-
vince you, Gentlemen, Of my attachment to
yourselves, and regard :or your interests.
The whole tenor OF ny life has been open to
your inspection And my past acionscrath-
er than my present declarations, must be
the pledge for my future conduct.
In the mean time, thank you most sin
cerely for the expressions of kindness con-
tained In your valedctory address. 1t is
true, lust after having babe adieu to my de-
mestic connections, this tender proof of your
friendship is but too well calculated still fur
ther to awaken my sensibility, and increase
my regret, at parting from the enjoyments
of private life.
all that now remains for me is to commit
myself and you to the protection of that BE
nefcent Being.who on a former occasion hath
happily bro't us together, after long and
distressing separation. Perhaps the same
grs cious Providence will again indulge us
with the same heartfelt felicity. But words,
my Fellow Citizens, fail me. Unutterable
sensations must chen be left to more expires
sve silence, while, from an aching heart. |
bid you all, my aflectionate Friends and
kind Neighbours, farewell!

The Weather of a Singular Week.

A cold rain fell through the most OF
monday from the northeast and east.
IL Kept coming pretty steadily Monday
night. On Tuesday the rain continued,
out the wind was from the southeast.
some snow fell Tuesday night. Early
wednesday morning gave the casual
giancer the conviction that blizzard
was coming. The wind had changed
into the north. But during the day the
sun shone, and by night the temperature
was not particularly unpleasant. The
earth has been covered with a crust OF
ice. Yesterday morning, the coolest
period OF the winter thus far, the mercury
stood fouS and a half degrees above
zero.
Up to this date, there have been less
snow and more sieighing than in the
whole of any previous winter. For sew
eral evenings past the merry racket OF
sleighing parties has been prolonged
until near midnight.

0. L. Cooks Return.

Mr.. Q. L. Cook and son arrived at
Wa-Keeney Friday, Jan. Ito them a
sad return, Tor Mr. Cook mad been called,
December 5, to the bedside of his wife,
that he might be near and minister to
her wants in the last few days she lived.
Ee arrived at Bryan, o., three days
previous to her death. He has the SYM
pathy Of his many friends here,as well as
those where ne formerly lived.
Mrs. Emma Cook was Christian in
every sense of the word. She was con-
verted and united with the ii. e. church
at the age OF u years, and all along the
pathway of her life she exhibited true
Christian character, and the good she
has done and the kindly words spoken
shall live after her. She was united in
marriage January .. 1876, to o. L. Cook,
and has been devoted wife and mother.
She leaves one son, who still lives to call
her blessed. At the time of her death
she spoke tenderly to husband and son,
earnestly pointing them to the Saviour.
She calmly watched and waited for the
angel of death, and the Father said 1T
is enough, come up higher" and the
sorrow stricken hearts could but bow to
the Heavenly Fathers VIII, for to her
death was but a transition, a release
from pain, beginning of happy eter-
nifty with her Saviour.

The Reason Why.

The Reason Why.
"WiIl you tell NE, youthful angler
To an urchin did say,
As together We sat fishing
One fair morn upon the quay,
Why the fish to you are partial
And around my hook tney playf
Hhaye not had cen nibble
Since the breaking OF the day."
This urchin's face was honely,
His clothes were torn and thin
And attached to his 'gallus"
Were his trousers by pin.
For rod he had a sapling:
Ia jointed pole had hired;
Yet he sat and hauled the fish in
With . skill that made me tired"
Scattered round him were his trophies
Like the rocks along the shore,
he hundred FISH had taken;
Ia cold, and nothing more.
But this urchin made no answer
He did only SIT and grin;
Til at length cried, in anger:
Tel me! Tel, thou child of sin,
"Or tn feed you TO the fishes!
And your bones shall sink from sight
As the sun sinks in the evening"
"Rold!' he cried, 81 have bite"
Then this urchin smiling answered,
While another fish he took:
sDon't you get excited, Mister.
You forgot to bait yong hook

For With US the sun shines as we sit here alone,
For She is at work-and so am II
They say that the world-that's to say people

And the praise OF the mob, when you've striven
to win it,

That nothing is worth half the trouble We give
it,
That tears sound through when we're half

But am content with my life-as I live it.
