FAREWELL TO VALLEY FORGE.
the Historic Camp Ground Of
the Revelation.

NEARLY score of years passed away
at Valley Forge, when one summer day
a tall gentleman of advancing years,
dressed in black and riding on horse,
was seen by the farmers while they
were working in the fields" writes
William Perrine, in the Ladies' Home
Journal. accompanied by his negro
servant, he alighted from his horse by
the roadside and began kindly to put
questions to one of the farmers. liz
told that he had been in the camp of
the Continentals, that he expected
soon to leave Philadelphia forever, and
that lie wanted to once more look upon
the scene of the sufferings of his COM
rades in arms. He was pleased to see
happiness and prosperity now around
him. lie would stay over night, but
his duties required him to be at the
capital. When the farmer heard his
name he was astonished, and protested
that he should have been more respect
full. The stranger replied that the
sight of his companions of the war
now engaged in the happy pursuits of
peace gave him more satisfaction than
any homage that could be paid his per-
son or his station as president of the
United States. 1t was George Wash
ington, soon about to bid farewell in
his great Office to his countrymen, and
as he rode away forever what thoughts
must have come over him as he looked
back in those piping times of peace to
the anguish and tolls and the despair
of that dark Christmas at Valley
Forget"

SAID BY WASHINGTON.

BE courteous to all, but intimate
with few, and let those few be well
tried before you give them your con-
fidence.
The company on which you i'm
prove most will be least expensive
to you.
1t is easy to make acquaintance,
but difficult to shake off, however
irksome and Improbable they are
found, after we have once commit
ted ourselves to them.
1t is a maxim with me not to ask
what, under similar circumstances,
would not grant.
expressly forbid the sale or trans
portation out of the said common
wealth, of any slave l may die pos
sessed of, under any pretense what
soever.
In my estimation, more permanent
and genuine happiness is to be found
in the sequestcred walks of con-
nubial life than in the giddy rounds
of promiscuous pleasure or the more
tumultuous and imposing scenes of
successful ambition.
Without virtue and without in
tegrity, the finest talents and the
most brilliant accomplishments can
never gain the respect and conciliate
the esteem of the truly valuable part
of mankind.
I shall never attempt to palliate
my own foibles by exposing the err
ror of another.
Nothing would give me more real
satisfaction than to know the senti-
ments which are entertained of men
by the public, whether they be favor
able or otherwise.

wASHINGToN's BIRTHPLACE.
But q Small Monument Marks the
Spot Mt Wakefield Farm on
the Potomac.

Mount Vernon has become q great
mecca for the American tourist; at
Yorktown and Valley Forge stand
stately reminders of the First Cen
tleman of America, while in every
part of the land the smallest memen.
toes of his life and actions are reli-
giously preseryed; but in magnificent
decay on the lower Potomac lies
Wakefield Farm, which was associ-
ated with his early life. A simple
granite shaft marks the spot where
George Washington was born, and n
few bricks and stones are all that
remain of his early home.
The old country mansion was
burned early in the last century, but
the brick chimney, within whose arch
four people could sit, and the corner
stones, with a portion of the founda-
ton, were saved. Shortly before the
civil war the historic farm passed
into the hands of family which at
first showed some appreciation for
its associations. A succeeding gen.
Grafton, however, tore down the
chimney and the remnant Of the
walls in order to secure the bricks.
A marble slab bearing an inscription
giving the date of Washington's birth
and other information, which had
been set into the great arch, was
removed to the old family grave
yard; but in placing It beneath two
ancient fig trees planted by the moth
er of Washington, It was broken, and
dts fragments lie there to-day, moss
grown and uncovered.
1t was in 1895 that the national
government erected at Wakefield
miniature copy of the Washington
monument, with the inscription
~'washington's Birthplace" and in
small letters at the base the words:
Erected by the United States, A.
ID. 1so5."-Waldon Fawcett, in Wom-
mans Home Companion.

SAID OF WASHINGTON.

Just honor to Washington can only
be rendered by observing his pre-
cepts and initiating his example,
Robert c. Winthrop.
However his military fame may
excite the wonder of mankind, it is
chiefly by his civil magistracy that
Washingtons example will instruct
them.-Fisher Ames.
A great and venerated character
like that of Washington is
not an isolated fact in history to be
regarded with barren admiration-it
is a dispensation of Providence for
good.-E. Everett.
lie illustrated and adorned the civ
ilization of Christianity and furnished
an example of the wisdom and per-
lection of it's teachings which the
subtlest arguments of its enemies
cannot Disqualification b. Vance.
George Washington, the brave, the
wise, the good. Supreme in war, in
council and in peace. Washington,
valiant, without ambition; discreet,
without fear; confident, without pre-
sumption.-Dr. Andrew Lee.
To add brightness to the sun or
glory to the name of Washington is
alike impossible. Let none attempt
it. In solemn awe pronounce the
name, and in it's naked, deathless
splendor leave it shining on.-Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Let him who looks for a monument
to Washington look around the
United States. Your freedom, your
independence. your national power,
your prosperity and your prodigious
growth are a monument to him.
Kossuth.

"The impression general in the
part of Dakota where l live that
farmers can get from 10 to Is cents
more bushel for wheat on the
American side of the line than on
the Canadian, has not prevented peo-
pie from turning their eyes to Cam
ada as place to live in. They know
they can get land in this country
which is every bit as fertile as that
in Dakota at about one-quarter the
price. 1t is safe to say that the
exodus from Dakota into Canada this
year will exceed the expectations Of
