Internal Beauty,

Rev. w w. Moore preached
a sermon in Baltimore recent
ly and had these nice words
to say about Mrs. Cleveland:
The theme OF the sermon
was "Internal Beauty" A.
ter drawing a distinction be-
tween mere surface comliness
which was evanescent. and
beauty nf spirit which was
abiding, the speaker said: e
"Perhaps this distinction
can be made still clearer by
taking the concrete case of a
person who, in my Judgment,
cOmhires both kinds OF beau
ry. | suppose the most pop.
ular woman IN the world to-
day is the wife of the Presl-
dent of the United States.
What is the secret OF her fae-
cinatiOn for all classes Of ppo
pie, regardless OF their politi-
cal opinions or social rank?
Not her position as mistress
oi the White House, nor her
official position az the first
lady OF the land. for these
passed away once without
diminishing n jot OF her So
cial. popularity and power.
Not the fact that she is pret-
ty, though she unauestlona-
by is. That is not her chief
charm. She is not only pref
ty but beautiful. As she was
leaving Washington at the
close of her husbands first
administration, ex. Secretary
Bayarh said to hp:
"Good-bye. You brought
nothing but sunshine with
|you and yoI are taking a
great deal of it away"
That remark gives us the
clue to her influence. She is
not only beautiful without;
she is beautiful within. She
charms all classes OF people.
Not because she ilyoung and
prett y aud distinguished
merely, but because she has
the sweet dignity and grace
OF IA pure and lovely Chris
tian character

ly and satisfactorily. The
first shipInent.of gold drawn
from the treasury since the
last sale Of bOn.ls, took place

The Death Of Washington.

An interesting historical paper has
recently been published, giving an
account of the death OF George Wash
ington. The account was written by
Washington sprivate secretary, Tobias
Lear, who was with him during his
last hours.
Washington took cold from expo
sure while riding about his plantation,
and woke at three o'clock in the morn
ing with chill, high fever, and every
symptom of pneumonia. He would
not permit his wife to summon help
until the fires were lighted in the
house, lest she should take cold, and
therefore remained without any at
tention for several hours. The over
seer was then summoned, who took
half-pint of blood from him.
Mixtures Of molasses, vinegar aud
butter were given, bat TO no effect,
Gargles of sage-tea and bandages OF
flannel about his throat proved equal
" useless. A physician arrived, bled
him again, and, ordered the same
gargle, which produced great distress
and suiIocation.
Another physician arrived, and bled
him again, administering drugs which
also seemed still more to weaken the
patient Finding that the general
was rapidly sinking, aud feeling that
the country would hold them response
bic for the care of his life, the alarmed
physicians consulted anxiously, and as
last resort-bled him once more
Washington, feeling himself to be
dying, sent for his will, gave direc'
tons concerning his papers, military
records and the disposal Of his body,
and then prepared himself for death
with the calmness OF stole.
THE physicians were absorbed IN
grief. They had done all which the
science of their day had taught them
to do.
The poorest patient in the aims
house now can command the skill and
knowledge which then, in all human
probability, would have saved the fore
most man of his day little longer for
his country and the world-an advance
in medical treatment for which the
present generation should be thank
ful
