AT THE STAND OF THE TIDE.

Barred rocks; gray sea; gray sky;
And stiffness far and wide.
No cleaning sail; no snow-winged
gull;
No glad returning tide.
Is this the same fair snOre
Where | so often see
The splendid waves display their
crests
Like crowns Of victory?
The same wide sea, at morn
Too FURNISHED to behold,
Or strewn with sunsets argosy
Or ruby, sard and gold?
So still, Not even stroke
OF far-receding oar;
Only the gray mist stealing in,
And settling more and more.
Not even the lapsing sound
That am wont to hear
Against the lonely kelp-hung ledge.
Or the gray sands more near!
Only the gathering night,
The lost horizons rim;
Only a sense Of solitude,
Mysterious and dim.
Hush, Was that a sound
Along the sad seas verge?
Not like the signing OF the wind
But one faint, swelling surge,
Hush, Yet again ii comes.
Was ii for this | yearned?
Darkness-but darkness strangely
stirred
The wondrous tide has turned

Ladies' Association show admirable
results in their care of the place and
in the accumulation of articles of use
in, or identified with, the Generals
family life.
During the gatherings of the Board
last year, Mrs. Charles Curtis Harri-
son, of Philadelphia Vice Regent for
Pennsylvania), invited Architect T.
Mallon Rogers, of Philadelphia, archi-
tect of the restoration of Indepen-
dence Hall, to come to Mount Vernon
and confer with the Mansion Commit
tee. The result OF this conference is
fully outlined in a written report made
by Mr.. Rogers, embodying details of
a projected restoration to be under
taken this fall. This work will in
volYe and effect a more complete
transformation in the general aspect
of the interior than any yet attempted.
The restored second floor of Indepen-
dence Hall has proved a revelation of
Colonial beauty and simplicity. This
restoration of the paneled halls and
antique stairway of Mount Vernon will
vividly recall the faces and costumes
of the Carys, Fairfaxes, Lees, Piercys,
Dulanys, Johnstons, Craiks, Hunters,
Dades, Ramsays, Fitzhughs, Vests,

iron beam inserted, braced from the
cellar, and these columns erected ac-
cordingly. They we're never part of
the interior construction in Washing
toms time, and their removal will
greatly add to the exact restoration of
the first floor hall. Other deta in
necessary repairs to the cellar, and
features of the staircase not in har-
mony with other portions, in varnish
or color, form matter of no great pub
lie interest. An examination of the
walls was made, starting from the
stairway to the second floor, and after
removal of three layers of a small
section of wall paper the fact was re-
vealed that the original mortar was
colonial buff. In someplaces itwould
seem to have been white-coated, and
in other places a rough finish of buff
mortar is found under the paper. Re
search will be made to ascertain
whether the walls were originally of a
buff mortar finish or par cred after the
fashion of one of the layers removed.
1t seems more than likely that, when
commenced, this transformation of the
halls and main staircase will ultimate
ly lead TO a new restoration of rooms

PREosPT AND PRACTICE.

My grandmother used to say to me,
My grandmother used to say,
"Now, don't run after the boys, my girl,
But stick to your sewing, prayl
For men who want wives will hunt them,
dear
Care not to be met half way;
For the longest chase is the fairest sport"
My grRpdmother used 20 say.
My grandmother used to say TO me,
Ny grandmother used to say,
"Now, stop your dreaming and baste your
hem,
Dreams never were meant for day.
Don't hurry, my girl, to find lad,
Maids never have will nor way
Till sorrow and dtwentyare come and gone;''
My grandmother used to say.
But I'd heard some tales and said one day:
Now, Granny, you dear old thing.
You met, I've been told, your lover at
The gate at the meadow spring,
And, though scarce eighteen, you rod be-
hind
To the village six miles away,
And were married and all by Parson Phipps;
Now, what have you got TO say?"
And grandmother smiled demurely, then,
Above the hurrying th read;
Twas not for the lack OF precept dear,
Things happened as you have said;
For, stop your dreaming and baste your
hem
For the men won't run away
And 'Wooing will keep for a good two
year
My grandmother used to say"

from various States. To be sure, they
are, for the most part, neat and fresh
enough, but recent investigation has
shown that they are not to-day as they
were in Washington's time. Thus the
"river room," or guest room, on the
second floor, was originally gray, with
white window sash; the mantel was
originally painted white, then painted,
at some later date, in imitation of gray
stone. This should be restored to its
original color, white. The chairboard
and washboard should be gray.
The woodwork in the Maryland room,
the bed chamber of charming "Nelly
Custis, " afterward Mrs. Laurence Lew
is, was originally the same gray as the
walls of the first floor hall. The mantel
was originally white, then painted black
two treatments) and again painted
white over the black. This should be
burned off and repainted white, the
window sash white, chair rail, trim and
washboard gray.
In General Washington's room the
mantel, now black, was white in its
original coloring. The trim of thereon
was gray and the washboard stained
and vanished, and, at a later day,
painted black, the chair rail and trim
gray and window sash white.
The above points were brought by
Mr.. Rogers to the attention of the
