PATRICK HENRY's PORTRAIT.
His Grandson Says 1t Is Genuine
Patrick Henry Looked Like Capt.
From the Richmond Dispatch.


From the Richmond Dispatch
Please accept my thanks for The clipping
from the Sun in reference to the Sully por-
trait of Patrick Henry. IAN Old Phila-
deiphian," who made the communication
to the Sun, is not we'll Informed of the
matters of which he writes. l viii give
the facts as received them from my fa-
ther, the son of Patrick Henry. and per-
sonal friend of William Writ to whom Mr.
Writ presented the portrait of Patrick
Henry by Thomas Sully, now in my pos
session.
In Virginia we call the artist "the elder
Suly," because his nephew visited Vir-
ginia some forty-six years ago and painted
portraits. When Patrick Henry argued
the great cause in Richmond, known as
the 1.-THE British Debt Cause" and artist
who attended the court painted a mnja-
ture of him. which he presented to Mr..
Henry This Mr.. Henry gave to his half
brother, John Syme. or to his wife. 1t
was considered a fine likeness and was in
the family of Col Syme when Mr.. Writ
long afterward wrote his life of MIR. Henry.
The family lived near Richmond. and Mr..
Writ obtained The loan of the miniature for
Mr. Sully to make portrait of, and he
faithfully copied it. l have never seen the
miniature. but have conversed with sew
eral persons who have seen 1t, and l have
been written to about IL by person in the
North, who then owned 1t or expected to
buy II.
The impression that Mr.. Sully copied the
face of Cook, the navigator doubtless
arose from the fact that there was a
strong resemblance between the two faces.
That the Sully portrait is a correct like
ness of Mr. Henry IS fully attested by
Chief Justice Marshall and others who
knew him well, in a communication to Mr..
Writ, which have. When Mr.. Writ pre-
sented the portrait TO my father the widow
Of Patrick Henry was living, and several
of his older children also, who remem-
bered him. My father told me they all
united in saying it was an excellent like
ness of Patrick Henry. and the best they
had ever seen. l am convinced, there
fore, that his features have been faithfully
| preserved by the celebrated artist who
| painted this portrait
/ would be glad If the Sun and any other
paper that published the communication OF
| AN Old Philadephian' would publish
| this statement. William Writ Henry

PIrRPosEs OF LENT.

1.-THE old causists," says the New York
Churchman, FUSED to say that there were
two ways in which the Christian could be
affected by the powers of evil. The first
was by temptation, the second by possess
sion. So long as the Christian is con-
scious of temptation there is a sense of
conflict. This is the wholesome and nor
NAL condition in which the soul should
live. This condition it is the purpose of
Lent to emphasize II implies a clear
sense Of the dividing line between good
and evil, right and wrong, a sensitive
ness to what is unhoiy and therefore
hurtful to spiritual life, and an effort con-
stantIy to watch against it and keep it
off. This is the attitude of the fighter. 1t
Is in this view of the Christian career
that the servant Of Christ cOnfesses, I
find war, not peace, in following the ex-
ample of perfection All the secondary
purposes of Lent are intended TO quicken
this view of life as battlefield. To this
end are the meditations on the Christ
ian graces. the patient analysis of sins
of various kinds and names. The differ
ence between friends and foes, between
light and darkness, between danger and
safety, are learned and dwelt upon"

INDIA.s ALLEGED PrRITY.

the Corruptions OF modern Hinduism 70 its
earlier purity" says the New York hide
pendent. "one may wei recall that bad as
the religion now is, the practices Of olden
times would not now be endured. Not TO
speak Of the murder OF infants and the
burning Of widows as customs hardly now
extinct ii must be remembered that the
most sacred castles ate all sorts 81 animal
food and exhausted the botany Of the
country for intoxicating drinks. There
were twelve sorts Of sons and eight forms
Of marriage. including capture and the
taking Of brothers widows and the most

were hook-swingings and wheel-crushings

THE WORK OF THE STAGE.

''If the stage does nothing worse" says
the Christian Register Unit.) of Boston,
'it vulgarizes the mind that is subjected
to it's influence by many of its exhibit
tons. For 'debasing the moral currency
the burlesque of many operas and plays
is as effective as things miserably sug-
gestive or obscene. And in this business
it has a powerful ally in the yellow
Journalism Of the time. Much of this
is thoroughly immoral. With its lies and
misrepresentation, 1t cultivates the bas-
est passions in the public mind. With its
exploitation of things gros sand sensual,
it dulls the sense of noble purity. And,
where it does not make directly for i'm
morality, 1t makes for such vulgarity as
is allied to immortality. Meantime the at
rnosphere of the business world is so over
loaded with the passion for money-get-
ting that the young man is often persuad-
ed that money must be got somehow
if not by fair means, then by foul. The
fine edge of integrity is easily worn away;
and the possibility of some base surrender
becomes a probability and certainty by
inevitable degrees the habit of petty
gambling contributing its quota to the
