WASHINGTON'S FIRST LOVE.
1T WAS THE BEAUTIFUL MARY CARY
AND NOT HER SISTER, SALLY" CARY

1T WAS THE BEAUTIFUL MARY CARY
AND NOT HER SISTER, SALLY" CARY
! In the drawing-room of Dr. J. ID. Mon
cure (the able superintendent of the
Eastern Lunatic Asylum, situated in
| Williamsburg,) hangs the portrait OF
Mary Cary, renowned for beauty and
belleship in family where beauty is
hereditary and pronounced. Her sister
Sally became the wife of George Will
liam Fairfax, the near neighbor and
intimate friend of George Washington.
The oft-repeated tale that sally Cary
was the first love of the Father of his
Country is so effectively refuted by a
document courteously furnished to me
by her great-grandson, DR.. Moncure,
that make no apology for preferring
his story to my own:
George Will I'm Fairfax, OF Belvoir
(Eirginia) and Poulston, Yorkshire,
England, married December
II, 174S, Sarah, second daughter of Col
Wilson Cary, of Celeys, near Hampton
on James river. George Fairfax was
the companion of Washington on his
surveying tourfor Lord Fairfax Wash
lngton first met Mrs. Fairfax at Belvoir,
near Mount Vernon, when she was
brought home as the bride of George
w
companied her sister Sarah to Belvoir,
and there met George Washington.
She was then but fourteen years of age
Washington was only sixteen.
He had never visited the low country
near Williamsburg prior to this, and
therefore could not have met Sarah
Cary until her marriage. 1t is said that
he fell in love at sight with Mary Cary,
and went so far on his first visit to Will
llamsburg as to ask Colonel Cary for
the hand of his daughter
The big rawboned lad found scant fa-
vor in the eyes of the patrician planter
He was dismissed in terms so curt that
we must bear in mind paternal pride
and other extenuating circumstances if
we would keep intact our idea of fine
old Virginia gentleman.
IF that is your business here, sir,
wish you to leave the house! My
dQughter''-thes swelling emphasis rum
bles down the corridor of years-''has
been accustomed to ride in her own
coach"
Tradition asserts that the chagrined
suitor took the choleric parent at his
word, and that the next time he looked
upon the face of his early love was
when he passed through Williamsburg
on his return from Yorktown after the
surrender of CORVALLIS. As we stroll
down the spinal street the window in
the old Cary house Is pointed out at
which Mary Cary-now Mrs. Edward
Ambler-stood to watch the parade.
Washington looked up, recognized her
and waved smiling salute with his
sword, whereas the lady fainted-a be-
coming and not difficult feat at an era
when to swoon opportunely and grace
fully was branch of feminine educa-
tion:-Marion Harland, IN Ha7per's

DREAMING.

My spirit roams abroad to-day wherever fame,
| pleaseS,
And reaches Mt Ida in the play of cool and
calm lake breezes,
At Mt. Ida, How it's beauties rise and fill my
soul with longing
AS through the heat and WEAKNESS come
pleasant memories thronging.
They cluster round face that brings to me
the strongest yearning
To be once more a boy without life's bitter
learning;
A face that through my evening prayer seems
Oft to smile before me,
And brings me tenderest, clearest light in all
the darkness DER me.
o, true, strong heart, the years that fall upon
us make thee dearer,
! The thought that all their SORROWS bring oul
souls in love the nearer.
The world and all it's follies fade-yOur love
upon me growing
More beautiful and strong and true against
the shadows showing.
With you my spirit roves to-day-a dream
most fair and tender
Across world by sunset kissed to rich and
varied splendor,
Wenu my way UilfOuSn Gne great IfOnG SaUe
at evening
On my way to a dear one, once to me so low
ing.
Cedars innumerable hear the coo of doves to
doves replying,
Along the lake are lilies blown, on moveless
waters lying.
The willows droop in fairy green above the
tufted edges
A rim to hem the lilies in along the low lake
edges.
Beyond the lake we thread the groves by bird
and rabbit haunted,
Where the stately Towers uprear their heads
in majesty undaunted.
The squirrel barks in saucy glee, the thrush is
softly calling,
Our steps we homeward take, the dusk Of twi-
light slowly falling.
The shadows deepen, tho the star of eve is
DER us cleaning
The dark drifts in; | lose your face. o, soul
give up thy dreaming?
But through the WEAKNESS of pain that fills
the tagging hours,
The memory of one love is like breath o1

DoddS' CataFrn Cure
LOCAL AND INTERNAL TREATMENT.

In order to cure catarrh it is NECESSARY to al
lay the Inflammation of the irritated mem
branes with a soothing application, cleanse
the head of the plugging mucous secretions,
and heal the discharging ulcers. For cold in
the head and nasal catarrh Dodd'S local treat
ment does this without the aid of snuff, DOUGH
es or fumes. If the disease has extended
doWnWards, affecting the bronchial tubes or
lungs, digestion and blood, the internal treat
ment both removes from the system the scat
tered poison and by it's building-up proper
ties assists nature in restoring the impaired
parts. Send for our book treating on catarrh.

| MRS. EMMA M. TAYLOR.
| Under the snow, under the snow
How many hopes lie buried,
How many jewels are under the snow
How many hearts unwearied.
How many hearts that beat high with hope,
In the Summer Of long ago,
Are now chilled by the winter of death
| And to-day are under the snow.
How many of the young with glowing cheek
And the light of joy in the eye,
Whose bright eyes were closed by the hand O.
| death
| And under the snow now lie.
How many aged that were tired of life
| Their steps with age made slow,
When Jesus called them gladly lay down
To rest under the pure white snow.
How many sweet and clinging babes
Have been snatched from our homes below
We have kissed their cold lips and dear little
hands
| And buried them under the snow.
How many great and mighty of earth,
| Even the King who his sceptre has swayed
| Has had his crown snatched by the conquerer
Death,
And his jewels have all decayed.
There is a crown that shall never fade away
It's lustre shall never grow dim,
'Tis the crown of rejoicing that's waiting fol-
That long for the coming of Him
OF Him who has conquered the terrors OF
death
And frightened our way to the grave,
OF Him who arose and ascended on high
Jesus, the mighty to save.
Can it be that He stopped to the manger OF
earth
To raise us to mansions in heaven,
That He laid down his crown in the sorrows
Of death
That we die not with sins unforgiven.
Yes, Jesus stopped to the HOMEGROWN of earth
| To give us crown up in heaven,
And with thorn SCARED brow and wounded
hands
He speaks our sins forgiven.
| Dear Saviour we shall never know,
The fullness of thy grace
Until we stand before thy throne,
And look into thy face.
| Until we see thy thorn-scarred brow
And touch thy wounded hand,
How much thy loving heart endured,
To bring US to that land.
For thou hast conquered even death
This dark worlds greatest foe,
And those we love shall rise again,
Though underneath the snow.
Our days with thee shall all be passed
Lead US whereer we go,
And trusting thee, alls not lost
That's hid beneath the snow.

Piles! Piles! Itching Piles,
The Care Of Sick Children.

The young mother who is far from
physician may remember for her com
fort that a child very seldom really re-
quires medicine, writes Elizabeth Rob-
inson Scovil, in her department in the
March LADIES' Home Journal. What it
needs is what she can give without
danger-proper food, pure air, cleanli-
ness and rest. Most of the disorders of
children, particularly of infants, arise
from some arrangement of the diges-
tive tract. The food is not of proper
quantity or quality. 1t is not assimil-
ated; that is, taken up by the blood for
the nourishment of the tissues, and the
child suffers. 1t is pale and fretful,
throws up it's food in undigested mass
es, and does not thrive as a healthy
child should. The first thing to be
done is to change the food. Add a
tablespoonful of lime-water to each six
of food; if this does not succeed, try US
ing one-fourth cream instead of all milk
with water. Vary the strength of the
food by adding more Or less water. Ii
still unsuccessful, try some of the artl-
fetal foods until one is found that does
agree with the baby.
With older children an error of diet
is very apt to be followed by feverish-
ness and restlessness. High tempera-
| ture does not mean as much with chill
| dren as with grown persons. A child
may have temperature of one hun
dred and three or one hundred and
four degrees at night and yet be com
| paratively well in the morning. A
simple enema of soap and water, given
with syringe such as should be in
every household, is the safest way OF
| q nf Ic
stipation. A child two years old may
have half a teaspoonful of spiced syrup
Of rhubarb OF teaspoonful of liquid
citrate of magnesia, if there is reason
to think that indigestible food is the
cause of the attack. When this acts
there will probably be an immediate
Improvement.
The Dangers of Immigration.
A telegram from Baltimore reports a
| speech of Bishop Coke, of the Diocese
of Western New York, on the evils OF
immigration, in which we find the fol
lowing strong and striking language:
"a frightful portent is that of an i'm
migration which, in dark disguise, is
nothing less than invasion. The over

Facts about Corn.

There are differences between yellow
and white corn Independent of the col
Or The former contains more starch
and will make more whisky, and is pre-
ferred for animal food when fattening
is the object In view The latter has
more gluten and oil, and is almost uni
versally preferred for bread. AS food
for horses, when nerve and bone nutri-
ment are more desired than fat, white
corn has the preference. White corn is
considered as coming nearer to oats
than yellow corn, and is therefore bet
ter food for working animals. So far
as the results of analysis are known
white corn has about one per ceut. more
of the muscle forming elements than
yellow corn, but the relative value of
of the two varieties in this respect has
not been very accurately determined.
The corn plant is one of the most
widely distributed, but every section
has a type best suited to its soil and
latitude, therefore the interchange of
seed, Northern or Southern grown, is
not a safe practice if the distance to
the North or South is a long one. From
East to West the transfers may be long
er. Corn planted in the North from
Southern seed grown in longer seasons
is almost certain to be caught by frost.
The plant, however, has the faculty of
becoming acclimated and under a few
years of cultivation of adapting its
growth and period of ripening to the
seasons of the section in which it is
grown.-American EIeCatOr
