{ WASHINGTON IN Z
} OLD AGE AT I
: MOUNT VERNON. :
.N~N~N~NN.NNA

ONE VIII find a pathetic side in the
" life Of Washington at Mount Yer
non after his retirement from public
Office. True, he had conquered victor
les which challenged the applause Of
the whole world His had been the
proud distinction to be chosen twice to
rule the nation he had established
through his vaIOr, and the people had
urged him to continue indefinitely at
the head Of the government. His name
was household throughout the land
and had become already synonym for
sublime patriotism He was the rich
est man in America and had an adOr-
able wife, who idOlized him.
1t might seem that the gratitude Of a
free people, the memory Of the great
works ne had done and the promise Of
an old age Of serenity, unbroken Of
strife or storm, would have been suffi-
cient to guarantee him against any
evil and to assure to him the sum Of
all human happiness.
But, if the good and great man bore
with him to his beautiful home on the
Potomac memories Of battles fought
and battles won against self, against
an alien foe and against political ad-
versaries, there remained, as well, the
recollection Of caIUmines that would
not die, Of ingratitude sharper than
teeths Of serpents, and Of injustices
that would not find reParatiOn.
Grant, possibly, excepted, no presid-
ent Of the United States was slandered
as was the Father Of his Country. His
enemies declared him to be immoral, a
gamblers drUnkard; with prOfiting Pc
cuniarily by measures which had been
passed by congress at his suggestion;
with being, now too friendly towards
the English, and then towards the
French. They charged against him
that he had sought at the foundation
Of the republic to make Of it a mOnar-
chy. with himself as its king; failing in

which, he then, after his induction into
Office, had .usuped powers and prero-
gatives with a view to ultimate over
throw Of the republic.
Washington was keenIy sensitive and
a very proud man, and these calumnies
were as so many vultures gnawing at
the vitals Of his heart. While silent to
the world, he made known to intimate
FRIEND the pain he suffered from the
wounds inflicted by his slanderers.
The great man was not ayerse to a
third term as president. On the con-
trary, 1t was expected by him and his
friends that he would continue indei-
nitely at the head Of the government.
He was a man born to rule; his admin
istration vas founded upon justice and
tempered with mercy. A man Of his
aristOcratic opinions and tastes could
not fail to like power and authority.
When the time came, however, for a
third campaign the great mans soul
sickened. His spirit IevOlted against
attacks from pamphlets and gazettes
and from the leaders Of the party in
opposition to that which followed his
Leadership. His soul was sick, literally,
Of abuse, and he IOnged for the asylum
Of Mount Vernon, where he felt he
should be secure against any attack,
and his heart would be at rest.
Against Mr.. Jefferson Washington
felt a special bitterness. That gentle
man had been very acrimonious in his
attacks upon the president, and, final
", made it so directly personal that
Washington felt that his honor de-
manded satisfaction for the affrOnt.
In those days dueling was universal,
and the clergy even regarded it with
out disfavOr. But Washington be
ieved it would be undignifed, and
therefore improper, for the president
Of the United States to fight a duel
He waited, although his proud and in
suited spirit chafed, until his second
term OF Office had expired Soon after
reaching Mount Vernon he sent a close
personal friend to Jefferson, with in
structiOns to demand a written retrac-
ton Of charges with an apology, or a
meeting with deadly intent.
Jefferson was a very discreet person,
as are most wise men, and Washing
tons friend returned with the retrac-
ton and the apology. If Jefferson
ever thereafter assaiIed the character
Of Washington, no evidence exists to
show it.
When he reached Mount Vernon in
the spring Of 1877, Washington could
look back upon a long term Of public
service. Then s. years Of age, he could
call up A years, one after another, be-
fore reaching the beginning Of the
eventful course. This service, while
not continuous, made up in its sum
