What tender ruth shall we have gained,
Alas by simply dying,
Then lips too chary OF their psIise
Ws'l tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to 500
Shall no defect discover
Then hands that would not lift n stono
Where stones were thlca to cumbcr
Our steep hil Path will scatter flowers

MIR MCKENzIE.-A writer In the
Washington Press thus speaks of Mr.. Lewis
Mckenzie, of this city:
The ante hellum leaders are rapidly pass
ING away. Younger aud more active men
have come to the front, and if there are still
living some OF these who nodded public
oninion in the ffties, few OF them occupy
public positions or apparently take very
keen interest iu political affairs. There are,
however, exceptions to every rule. l saw
one an hour since. a man above the aver.
age height and rather heavily built, and
whose age must be at least 70. A clean
sheven face, blue eyes-which never seem
at rest-looking spxiously at you through a
psir of near sighted spectacles. In the cid
Wing days of Virginia this gentleman was a
mower in the politics of his State. Before
the war the Hon. Lewis Mckenzie was in
vincible in Alexandria before the people.
He defeated some of the most prominent
citizens of the town for the legislature. 1t
was he who conceived the idea OF connect
ing Alexandria with the inexhaustibe coal
regions of West Virginia, and it was through
his ii Auence that the bill creating the Alex
andria, Loudoun, and Hampshire railroad,
now the Washington and Ohio, was passed.
on this road Mr. Mckenzie was for years
The president When the war came on, al.
though large msj 'rity of his party and
personal frienda espoused the cause of the
south, he stood by the Union. and was, upon
the occupations OF Alexandria by the federal
forces, ,l-ctcd its mayor. When the late
Gov. Walker ran against Gen. Wells Mr..
Mckenzie espoused his cause. By the con-
seryative party he was elected 10 the forty
first Congress. Since, while not seeking
political preferment, he has been consis-
tent republican aud folly alive to the issues
of the hour"
