starting from Washington we will
scarcely get away from the turmoil and
din Of that great city. when we come
in view of the brick work Of the man
sion Of Walter f. Addison. which was
erected about the year 1868. The bricks
which We're used in this mansion Were
brought from England. This house
was standing in good condition and had
occupants when it was destroyed by
fire about two Years ago.
Then but few miles will bring Us
t. behold one of the oldest churches il
he United States. Stroling about the
yard We will find tombS which have
stood Il century and Il half. We only
have to enter the doors Of this struc
1nre to be-smiled upon by the same
walls that have beheld the humble de
yotion of the Father Of his country,
George Washington. There is also t.
he seen the sclfsame pew in which he
sat.
From this church are two mansions
shortly distant. which were the Ameri
can homes of English gentlemen. VIII,
