How it affected the youthful lover
we can now only learn from his Jour
nal. which has become relic of his
tory. There he is strangely silent coa-
corning the name of his early love.
He INDUCED. however. in poetry OF the
most commonplace amatory kind. in
which Cupid's dart is made to rhyme
with heart. and he records his woes in
a lugubrious style. after the fashion of

1t was soon after this episode that
George Washington renowned the
comforts of home and set out with Col.
George Fairfax on a surveying expe-
dition through the mountains OF Vir-
GINA There he began to be cured of
his unhappy passion. which had taken
a deep hold of his nature and which
had been revived and accumulated by
the tender attentions of a beautiful
young lady into whose society he was
much thrown
After three years spent in the survey
of the enormous tracts of land belong

indications OF the French and Indian
war were noticeable. and young Wash

the northern military district OF Vir-
ginia. by order of Lieut.. Gov. Dinwid-
die.
There now appeared upon the
threshold of George Washington's life
a colossal figure. that for a time at
least was destined TO eclipse all mem
ory of his unfortunate love affair. 1t
was the figure of his harassed and dis
tracted country which stretched forth
appealing arms to all her true-hearted
and patriotic sons. to solicit their aid
ere she plunged into that sea of
trou bIes which threatened to engulf
her. he had already shown a wonder
full force Of character as of one born to
command. He was familiar with the
tactics of war, a soldier in the practice
OF arms from his childhood, and while
he was filing the peaceful position of
public surveyor a grand colonizing
scheme had been set on foot. and al
ready. though he dreamed not of it, his
future destiny had been shaped. He
had many hardships TO contend with,
and one terrible illness. before he began
that heroic career which placed mis-

horses were at the door
But she would ridesoh yes, she loved
riding on horseback so much, and
would he wait until she donned her
habit, and with an arch coquetry
which was custom of the times, she
kissed her dainty finger tips to him as
she ran lightly from the room
When she came back she was ravish-
ingly bewitching in her habit of scar
let cloth, with its frogs of gold lace,
and the high hat with its dropping
veil.
When they had mounted they rode
of in fine style, and as they dashed
over the hills, for George was 4 good
rider, she asked him how it happened
that he had done her this honor.
The young man had been fast losing
his head. 1t was the only time on rec
ord that he did so, and he blurted out
as he extended a mammoth hand to
her:
Look at that hand, dear Mistress
Lydia 1t is yours"
Her answer was . merry peal of
laughter.

Washington, would 1 do with that
hand? have two hands of my own. -
That hand. which afterwards threw
stone across the Rappaharnock,
doubled itself into a formidable fist,
then slowly relaxed and dropped at
the side of the young rider with de-
cisive motion

Lydia" he said; do you not think well
enough of me to choose me for hus-
band? 1 am young, know, but will
soon be older. and l have heard nv
mother say that oftimes the happiest
marriages were those where the lady
was a few years the eldest"
Mistress Lydia did not laugh now
She looked grave.
Master Washington, what would
Maj. Trenholm say if he knew his be
trOthed wife were listening to an
avowal OF love from another man"
Say you so, Mistress Lydia? Then I
am too late, much to nv sorrow. Par
don ne, fair lady, 1 will not offend

The tears were in his blue eyes, his
lips auivered, and Mistress Lydia
asked him if ne recalled the time when
his father took him out to the garden,
and showed him the name George
Washington" grown in flowers, and
which the boy believed to be scroll
from Heaven.

I posed at every step, that Rev. Samuel
Davis said OF him from the pulpit, in
appreciation of his great service,

Then she turned to her boy, who was
gazing about the room at the parapher-

will you see his like again"

'He was born on the e2d of Febru-

color sweeping over her fair face.
"A strange coincidence, madam, :"

voice, aud a shadow for a moment
dwelt on the spirit of the man who
was TO be known to future ages as the
father of his country, yet had never a
child of his own flesh and blood.
Mistress Trenholm passed out bowling

clemency. But of that little episode of

Scene at the Parting Of zen. Washington
with the Officers of His Army.
Irving's story of the scene at the part
ing OF Washington with the- officers of
his army at the close of the revolution
may be familiar to the reader, but it
will do no harm to repeat it on the day
set apart for honoring the memory
OF the father of his country. 1t
is as follows: IN the course
of few days Washington pre-
pared to depart for Annapolis where
congress was assembling, with the in
teutiou of asking leave to resign his
command A barge was in waiting
about noon on the 4th of Decem Der at
Whitehall ferry to convey him across
the Hudson to Paulus Hook. The
principal officers of the army assem-
bled at Fraunces' tavern in the neigh
borhood of the ferry to take final
leave OF him. On entering the room
and finding himself surrounded by his
old companions in arms who had
shared with him so many scenes of
hardship, difficulty and danger, his
agitated feelings overcame his usual
self-command. Filling glass of wine
aud turning upon them his beniguant
but saddened counteuance. With

diction he added with emotion: 1 can
not come to each of you to take my
leave, but shall be obliged if each of

hand Gen. Knox, who was nearest,
was the first to advance. Washington,
affected even to tears, grasped his
hand and gave him 4 brothers en-
brace. In the same affectiouate man
uer he took leave severally OF the rest.
Not 4 word was spoken. The deep
feeling and manly tenderness of these
veterans in the parting moment could
rot fni utterance in words Silent
and solemn they followed their loved
commander as he left the room, passed
through a corps of light infantry and
proceeded on foot to Whitehall ferry.
Having entered the barge, he turned
70 them, took of his hat and waved a
silent adieu- They replied in the same
manner and, having " atehed the barge
