The First Tribute in Verse.

Oddly enough, the first poem ever
written in honor of Gen. Washington
comes from the pen of woman of
negro birth. In the Pennsylvania Mag
azine for April, 1776, these verses are
printed, and they are signed "Phillis
Wheatley, the African poetess, Provi-
dence, October 26, 1775:"
Celestial choir! enthron'd in realms OF light.
Columbia's scenes OF glorious tolls I'll write.
While freedoms cause her anxious breast
alarms,
She flashes dreadful in refulgent arms:
See mother earth her ofsprings fate bemoan,
And nations gaze at scenes before unknown
Fam'd for thy valor. for thy virtues more,
Hear every tongue thy guardian aid implore.
Proceed, great chief. with virtue on thy side,
Thy ev'ry action let the goddess guide.

joined in panegyric to the name and
character of George Washington, the
Father of His Country" and often the
bits of sentiment to which they have
given expression have been exquisitely
wrought out, making some of the
worlds masterpieces of wording.
"In my idea" says La Fayette, "Gen.
Washington is the greatest man, for
look upon him as the most virtuous."

"All can say" Gladstone has said,

The amazed colonel saw his lovely
daughter embodied in the embrace of
the man he had been so near to killing,
and then, turning to the judge, cried
in dismay:
IL have indeed been mad. / should
have known that no Marion could do
dishonorable thing"
Colonel" said Marion, approaching
with the happy girl at his side, "Grace
and desire your consent to our mar
riage. That newspaper paragraph was
an infamous"
"Gentlemen have no need to make
explanations one to another, my dear
Marion. You may have Grace, and
may God bless the union. Excuse me
for moment" he cried, as though
suddenly reminded of an important
duty. Then he hastened in the direc-
ton of Mizraim, who was leading away
the horses
"Mizraim, have changed my mind.

washington's Ancestry.

One genealogist, reckless of conse-
queuces, has traced the ancestry Of
President Washington to Odin. Anoth-
er attempt was made to connect him
with the Washingtons of Durham,
England. But the authentic source of
his parentage is Washington clan, of
County Northampton, England, where
the old manor house is still to be seen,
though in ruins. Upon consulting Vir-
ginian records one can get back no
farther than his great-grandfather
John Washington, who settled in Vir-
ginia in 1857. His eldest son Lawrence
had three children, John, Augustine
and Mildred, and our president was the
child of Augustine, and his second
wife, Mary Ball, whom Augustine mar
ried in 1870. George Washington had
five brothers and sisters. His father
died when he was seven years old, and
the future hero was trained by his
half-brother, Lawrence Washington

washinsson's Personal Appearance.

His portraits do justice to the unanl-
nous verdict Of all who saw him as to
his imposing appearance. When pre-
pared for burial he measured just six
feet, but in full vigor he was three inches
taller. La Fayette declared his hands
were the largest he ever saw Oh man.
He was of a fair and somewhat florid
complexion and weighed about two
hundred and twenty pounds. He moved
and rode with commanding dignity.
Every aspect of external view pro
claimed Washington a born leader of
men, and his contemporaries are often
found relating the awe-inspiring effects
his behavior and bearing produced on
those with whom he came into contact

Washington was his apotheosis, One
of his male ancestors had married a
Washington and he gloried in the con-
nection. 1t was largely through his in
fluence that the celebration of the hero's
natal day was determined upon, and it
was upon his advice that tyoung Marion
was chosen orator.
The colonel's creed was simple. He
accepted the orthodox faith, worshiped
the memory of his dead wife, adored
his only child, and held that the word
of n gentleman could not be broken.
He abhorred deceit and never forgave
it in anybody. Somewhat old-fash-
ioned he believed in dueling, and
maintained strenuously that the law
was made only for the weak. He had
no patience with those who appealed
to the arbitrament of the courts. Still
he was most gentle, quiet man who
never disputed, declined to take any
active part in politics, and entertained
with an easy grace that is the charm
of true Virginia hospita ity.
1t was the evening of the day before
the e2d of February and the colonel
drove home from Woodville in excellent
spirits. Every arrangement had been
thoroughly completed and the weather
promised to be auspicious on the NOR
row. Before he entered the house old
Mizraim encountered him.
Deed, marser, it do seem laiclx cherry
ting tote far fer us. De ice'ouse er
plum full er game N fish N Piney's

This intelligence added to the good
humor of the all-hospitable master of
the house, whose handsome face was
covered over with smile as he en-
tered the great hall of the noble
old colonial manor that his great
grandfather had built. He was sur
prised that Grace did not greet him ac-
cording to her custom, for he was sure
she must have heard his voice. Search
ing anxiously about he found her in a
corner bathed in tears and sobting as
though her heart would break.
why, pet, what in the world is the
matter?"
Without uttering word she placed
in his hands d Richmond paper and
pointed to a brief paragraph. His eyes
opened wide in astonishment as he
read
Cards are out for the wedding of
Howell Marion, Esq, the brilliant
young lawyer, and Miss Hattie, daugh-
ter of John w. Powell, the well-known
capitalist of the city,

ments as he stood over his idol, whose

mus p'int'dly look

losin' his min. I mus p'int'dly look
arter him, sholy."
The day was glorious. A gentle
southwest wind blew fragrance from
the great swamp, rustling the mistle-
toe clumps in the boughs of the big
gum trees and waving to and fro the
pendant graymoss that hung down
from the spreading branches of the
great beech trees on the ridges which
seemed like so many giants with long,
struggling locks. 1t touched the slen-
der fingers of the pines until they
played mournful melody and caused
the bright green leaves of the bay tree
to send forth ripples of laughter. The
gloomy colonel, however, as he passed
in turn the swamp the beech and the
pine groves, had no eye for the weird
scenery and no ear for the voices of the
stirred trees.
Equally he did not regard the i'm
mense crowds that had already gath
cred in the streets of Woodville. The
imposing pageant was lost upon him.
He spoke now and then to those who
addressed him, but he moved about as
one in dream. Still less did he OBJ
serve that old Mizraim had followed
him to town and was dodging about
closely in his rear.
The train which brought Marion was
delayed more than two hours, so that
the parade was over and the crowd
had been gathered for some time about
the speakers stanC. before he reached
the grounds. The stalwart. hand
some young fellow, with his long,
wavy chestnut hair, his piercing brown
eyes and deep-toned, magnetic voice
fairly captivated his audience before
he had uttered dozen sentences. 1t
seemed as though he were being who
had lived and moved with Washington
and gained his confidence, so that he
knew his inner soul. in most graphic
manner he told of the simple life of the
planter of Mount Vernon, the heroic
endurance of the commander of the
tattered forces at Valley Forge, the
master spirit of the constitutional con-
vention, the supreme first president of
the republic. Then he closed with an
impassioned outburst. in which he re-
cited the exalted virtues of the i'm
mortal Washington and urged the
emul,- ton of them upon his hearers.
The orator utterly eclipsed his previ-
Gus fame and the audience was
carried away with enthusiasm, all
save stern -visaged white man and a
skulIing old negro. Col. Temple had
not heard single word. His heart
was with his idolized girl. While the
excited people rent the air with
huzzas, he made his way through the
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1895-02-16

crowd, that respectfully divided at his
approach.
With bowed head he was slowly MAX
ing his way towards the Woodville
tavern, when bright, CHEEKY voice
said:
why, colonel, I've looked for you
everywhere. Where is Miss Grace?"
You infamous scoundrel! A friend
of mine will see you without delay"
cried the old man, passionately.
What can be the matter? Are you
ill?"
away, sir, or there will be murder
Do you hear? / would take no mean
advantage"
The young man regarded the re-
treating form of the old soldier with
grave concern, when a voice at his side
said:
'Marser Howl, OF marser lose his
haid; he's gettin' OF. You jis' see Miss
Oracle" and Mizraim hastened after
the colonel.
Three hours later, and it was near
the setting of the sun, Col. Temple and
his most intimate friend, Judge Lotion,
rode slowly up the broad lane that led
to the Temple mansion. They We're
conversing earnestly as they dis
mounted.
II insist, judge, that you follow him
to Richmond and demand satisfaction.
/ cannot understand how he could have
disappeared so quickly"
Mizraim, after his master fell into
the company of the judge, had FASTENED
home and now stood by the side of the
colonel, who suddenly started forward,
as he cried:
There is the villain" and, carried
away with infinite passion, hastily
drew revolver, leveling it at Marion,
who was advancing and scarcely ten
PAGES distant. The excited man did
not perceive that his daughter was
fast approaching from the house.
Papa" she cried in glad accents
not observing his tragic movement.
The eyes of Marion had been fixed
upon the girl too, and he had seen
nothing. Mizraim, who had not lost
gesture of his master, rushed forward
and wrested the weapon from the old
mans grasp, concealing it about his
own person and then quickly returned
to the horses.

asked, in unst eady tones:
did you care for him so much,
pet?"
80 father, cried the girl, passionate
ly, as she threw her arms upward and
clasped them about his neck.
WAS there-did he ask you to be his
wife?"
1t was some time before the agita-
tion of the girl permitted her to speak.
Then she told him, as a weary child
making complaint.,o it's mother, that
while no formal betrothal had taken
love and, indeed, it was his expressed
purpose TO ask her hand in marriage
during the coming visit. She could not
understand his perfidy; she must not,
she could not doubt, yet there were
the words in cold. cruel type.
''lIe is an unmitigated sconndrel,
and you must forget him, my child"
Then nc sought to soothe her by
comforting words, but, alas! there is
no balm for heart thus wounded.
Mans perfidy is more cruel than the
knife of the assassin or the poison of
the asp.
After a long time he persuaded her
to go to her room and seek sleep; but,
as for him, he walked his apartment
all night. His face grew very stern in
this long vigil and there was infinite
menace in it as he came out to his
breakfast. Grace had sent word that
she was unable to leave her room, but
she insisted that he take part in the
days celebration. Learning from his
daughters maid that her mistress was
in no alarming condition, the colonel
left the house in search of Mizraim.
There will be no company here to-
day and you may tell Piney that she
need not go to your young mistress for
any orders"
