"From every part of that America
he delivered the cry of grief is heard
1t belonged to France to echo back the
mournful sound. Ii ought to vibrate
on every generous heart. The shade of
Washington on entering beneath this
lofty dome will find IL Turennc, Il
Catinat, ii Condc, all of whom have
fixed their habitatiOn here. If these
illustri0uS warriors had not served in
the same cause during life, yet the
fame of all will unite them in death.
Opinions, subject to the caprices Of the
world and to time-OpmionS, weak and
changcablc, the Inheritance of humani-
ty--vaniSh ON the tomb, but glory and
virtue live forever. When departed
from this; stage, the great men of ev-
cry age and of every place become in
some measure cOmpatriOtS and cOntem-
poraricS. They form but one family
in the memory Of the living, and their
examples are renewed in every sue
ccssiVe age Thus within these walls
the valor of Washington attracts the
regard of Condc; his modesty is ap-
plaudcd by Turcunc; his philosophy
draws him to the bosom of Catinat \
people who admit the ancient dogma
Of transmigration of souls viii often
confess that the soul Of Catinat dwcllA
in the bosom of Washington.
"Thc voice Of rcpublicanism. which
rcSoundS from every part Of these
walls, ought to please, above all, the
defenders of America. Can they not
love these soldiers who, after their
example. repealed the enemies of their
country? We approach with pleasure
those veterans whose trophies add lus-
ter to these walls and some of whom
have gained laurcls with Washington
in the WiIds of Carolina and Virginia.
"But there is something more due to
the memory Of Washington. 1t is the
union of Franco and America. 1T is
the happiness of each. 1t is peace be-
tween the two nations. 1t now seems
to me that Washington calls to all
France from the very summit Of this
dome: 'Maguanimous people, you who
know so well how TO honor glory, /
have conquered for Independence. The
happiness of my country was the re-
ward of that victory. Initiate not the
first half Of my life. 1t is the second
that recommends me to posteritY.'
''Yca. thy counSClS shall be heard, o
Washington. o warrior! o legislator.
O citizen without rcproach. lie who,
while yet young, rivals thee in battles
shall, like thee, with his triumphant
hands heal the wounds of his country.
Even now we have his disposition, his
character, for the pledge, and his war
like genius shall soon lead sweet peace
into this temple of war"

I'm THB OLD HOUSE AT HOME.


IL comes to all Of US one or later In
life, to meet 10 the old house at home for
the last time-an unbroken family band.
Such a Q .union took place Christmas day
In the old Larkin homestead, near
Waverly. The old mother, by reason OF
strength, has lived more than mans
allotted time, three score and ten years,
and 10 now nearing her eightieth birth
day-ripe 10 years, ripe IN experience and
ripe In the kingdom Of God-was the
shining light and center Of love and
attraction, welcoming those manly sons
aud only daughter, as a mother alone can
do, to feast and make merry at the Christ
mas time. This, her usual custom for
years, she felt could not be omitted
because OF her feeblsness, and so she
called them from far and near to come
home, and II seemed an unusually glad
and sad time TO the dear ones gathered in
the home nest that day. Remarkable too
In that three generations participated in
its Joy. Forty Of the dear old lady's
descendsnts-children grandchlldrsa and
great-grpndchild--nlne sons and one
daughter as follows: Thomas g., John F.,

mother. God grant they may all be re-

Judge Barnett was Of 80 ~unassuming,
retiring nature, always Inclined to hnd

He was strictly moral in his walk and
conduct, but never became a member Of
any church until q few years ago. It was
remarkable how fond he became OF his
Bible and how he delighted TO read 1t
and talk about its precious truths, and
with a strong faith In his Savior, he went
to meet him and those he loved with q
calmness that only the Christian feels at
the approach OF death.
Judge Barnett vas never an office seeker
but rather preferred 10 honor Others by
giving them the offices than to hold them
himself. But his fellow citizens elected
him twice % one OF the county justices,
and be held this Office for eight years to
the satisfaction Of his constituents, and
TO his own honor and credit. Judge
Barnett was ever faithful in the discharge
Of his public duties. as the records Of our
