\ movement has been made in Cam
bridge, Mass, to preserve Fort Wash
ington, the Revolutionary fortiication
which was erected during the siege of
Boston. The fort stands at the foot Of
Allston street, Cambridgeport, in place
where few sightseers visit. The fort is
not impressive in appearance, but lovers
of things historical are anxious that it be
not allowed to pass to decay for the want
Of attention. All that one may see there
is an iron fence, broken in several places,
enclosing three old guns. The parapet
should be rebuilt, the petitioners say, and
the guns need to be remounted. The pc
tition is signed by Mrs. Annie NJ. Went
worth, the regent of Hannah Winthrop
chapter Of the D. A. R., by all the other
members Of the chapter and by many cit
izens Of Cambridge. 1t is probable that
something will be done next summer to
preserve the fort, but it is recognized
that if anything extensive is to be done
in the way Of improvement, special ap-
preparation will have to he made by the
city council. At the present time, not
even stone tablet is at the fort to mark
the spot suitably. The site of the old
fort was originally cared for by the Dana
family. In 1858 the fortifcation was re-
stored to its original condition. 1t was
then that the iron fence was constructed,
and that the three cannon, the gift of the
United States government, were re-
mounted. The expense of the restoration
was borne by the city of Cambridge and
the commonwealth of Massachusetts.

A PERFECT WOMAN.

"What I maintain is that all men are
woefully imperfect" said Marjory,
firmly.
It was sweeping assertion, but one
dear to the heart of a woman, particu-
q cousin.
''Woefully?'' interrogated, raising my
eyebrows.
Yes, woefully. I see it every day."
Now. at first sight the latter remark
may not appear to be more Objectionable
than most Of the remarks which cousin
makes, but when it is mentioned that for
three weeks Marjory had seen no man
save myself. it will be generally conceded
that had good cause for resentment.

MY LADY.

'Tis not her kind yet mastering air,
Nor is't the glory Of her hair,
Nor yet the beauty of her eyes
With the deep look Of soft surprise;
'Tis not the wit so often heard
Where wisdom lines each airy word;
'Tis not her humors grave and gay
That give my Lady all her sway.
My dainty Lady's sovereign power
Hangs not upon the passing hour;
The years may ROLL and still the same
She is my Lady and my Dame.
My Lady's face, my Lady's voice,
These make my heart and soul rejoice.
And yet they fall full short of all
That keeps me still my Lady's thrall:
The secret why my Lady's reign
Can never turn to change or pain
Is known alike to man and elf,
1t is that she is just-Herself!
