house in Chester where he spent his

The nephew of John Washington
was Sir Henry Washington, who de-
Tended the city of Worcester in the
cause of Charles l., and indeed held
out to the last, with only scanty
means. He was repeatedly called up
on to surrender, as his affairs were
hopeless, and was promised that his
life should be spared; but he refused
to do so until he had the permission
of Charles.
The family of Washington can be
traced, however, much further back
than this period. Formerly they held
estates in Durham, and the name is
spelled variously, De Wessyngton and
washington. In the venerable library
of Chester Cathedral Bondo de Wes-
syngton's name occurs in copies OF
charters 600 years old. John Yves
sington, as appears from Dugdale's
"Monasticon," was the prior of Dur
ham in the reigns of Henry V. and
Henry VI.
But the more immediate ancestry
of George Washington must be sought
in Sulgrave, Northamptonsnire. At

same time as the other religious
houses. A large part of it's estates
were granted to the Washington fam

at the east end of the aisle, is plate

At the dissolution Of the monster
les, in 1889, Laurence Washington, OF
Gray's Inn, Mayor of Northampton in
1882 and 1915, who resided in the
Manor House and is buried in the
church, received from the King a
grant of certain lands which belonged
to the Priory of Canons Ashby. This
land was sold at mis- death to his son
Robert and his grandson Laurence,
and the latter retired into Brington,
died there in 1916, and is commemor-
ated by a monument in Brington
church.

Brington comprises Great and Lit

bottle. In the chancel of the church
is floor stone, with arms, to Lau-
renee Washington, 1916 (who removed
here from SulgraVe, and Margaret
(Butler) mis- wife, and there is also
inscribed brass with the same arms,
differenced by crescent, to Robert
Washington, younger brother of the
above, oh. 1922, and Elizabeth, his
wife. This Laurence Washington was
the father of the Rev. Laurence Wash
ington, M. A., of Sulgrave, and rector
of Purleigh, Essex, 1633-34, whose two
sons john and Laurence, emigrated in
1857 to Virginia. Sulgrave is in a
pleasant rural part of England, not
far from Banbury and from Whittel
bury Forest. The mansion of the
Washingtons was probably at one
time the priors' dwelling, and was al
tered for their use. Part of it still re-
mains, and is converted into a farm
house, and in buttery hatch is a
piece Of stained glass with the Wash
ington crest upon it.

Why, what is the matter with this fool

tender sound, but language may not con-
vey the gentleness of his manner and the
winning softness of his voice, as he wiped
away my tears with his own handl1er-
chief, kissed my forehead, and led me to a
seat as he might a young princess. He
sat beside me, and with laughing jests,
brought down to the plane of my appre-
citation, banished my sins from my eyes,
rescued me from humiliation, and brought
me back to composure. He guarded me
from my mothers outraged eyes, kept
me with him while in the drawing room,
had me placed beside him at the dinner
table, and with his own hands heaped
all the good things on my plate. After
dinner he took me to walk in the gar
den, and with an intelligent STOPPING to
my intellectual stature, and a sympathetic
understanding of my emotional state and
need, he drew me into talks on the
themes of my daily life, and won me into
revelations of my hopes and fears. 1t

pretty picture, that of the famous war
rior, statesman and patriot turning from
great affairs, and lending himself to the
task of making the happiness and charm

the little girl thus made that, seventy-five
years afterward, she lives, with tears of
joy in her eyes, to tell the story to her

''The fact is" she replied, ST was so
absorbed on that occasion with General
Washington, l paid very little attention

that she was handsome, of dignified car
riage, and was dressed in a rich figured
silk, with an embroidered apron around
her waist, and a dainty kerchief folded
about her neck and shoulders"

Dear Sir-When the mind is deeply
affected by those irreparable losses
which are incident to humanity, the
good Christian will submit without re-
pining to the dispensations of Divine
Providence, and look for consolation
to that Being who alone can pour
balm into the bleeding heart, and who
has promised to be the widows God.
But in the severest trials we find
some alienation to our grief in the
sympathy Of sincere friends, and
should not do justice to my sensibili-

your kind letter of coincidence of the
Goth of December was grateful to my
feelings.
| we'll know the affectionate regard
which my dear deceased husband al
ways entertained for you, and there
fore conceive how affecting his death
must have been to you; the quotation
which you have given Of what was
written to you on former melan-
choly occasion is truly applicable to
tnis-the loss is ours, the gain is his.
For myself, l nave only to bow
with humble submission to the will
of that God who giveth and taketh
away, looking with faith and hope to
the moment when l shall again be
united with the partner of my life.
But while | continue on earth my
prayers will be offered up for the well
fare and happiness Of my friends,
among whom you will always be num-

The ENGLISH WASHINGTONS
Where Family of Foremost American
Was First Known.

Washington's Birthday at the begin
ming Of the last century was scarcely
noticed outside the United States; to-
day it is celebrated everywhere, not
only in America-"his country''-but
in all parts of the civilized world. Of
the stock from which sprang the
founder of American liberty compare
lively little is known among the gen.
eral public.
George Washington was descended
from a Yorkshire family of import
ance, as were also Penn and Win
throp, the first Governor of Massa-
chusetts. These three were merely
private English gentlemen, men of
education and leisure, who might have
lived and died unknown had their lot
been cast in happier times. Fervent
loyalty was always the characteristic
of the Washingtons, and even George
Washington himself fought for the
Georges against the French. In Crom-
wells reign an attempt was made to
restore Charles H., and John Wash
ington and his brother we're impIicat-
ed But they were more fortunate

Among the poetic selections is one by
Eliza Cook, the sentiments of which may
be regarded as somewhat remarkable
from the fact that she was an English
woman. The poem is entitled ''The Star
of the West" and is as follows:
go down,
Till the records of valor decay;
We must worship its light, though it is not
our own,
For liberty burst in its ray.
Shall the name Of a Washington ever be
heard
By freeman, and thrill not his breast ?
Is there, one out of bondage, that halls not
the word
AS the Bethlehem star of the west?
'war, war to the knife! Be inthralled or
Was the echo that woke in his land;
But it was not his voice that promoted the
cry,
Nor his madness that kindled the brand.
He raised not his arm, he defed not his
foes,
While a leaf of the olive remained
Till goaded with insult his spirit arose
Like a long-baited lion unclaimed.
He struck with firm courage the blow of the
brave,
But sighed DER the. carnage that spread ;
He Indignantly trampled the yoke of the
slave,
But wept for the thousands that bled.
Though he threw back the letters and head
ed the strife,
Till mans charter was fairly restored;
Yet he prayed for the moment when free
dom and life
Would no longer be pressed by the sword.
Oh, his laurels were pure, and his PARROT
In the page of the future shall dwell,
And be seen in all annals, the foremost in
By the side of Hoffer and Tell.
Revile not my song, for the wise and the
Among Britons have nobly confessed
That his was the glory, and ours was the
blood
OF the deeply stained field of the west.
Eliza Cook, the writer of the poem,
was quite a noted literary woman in
England She was born in London about
1918. Her father was calker by trade.
Her mother died when she was 10 years
of age. An early developed taste for
poetry and literature first found express
sion in verse, and in 1887 she became a
regular contributor to the London Week
ly Despatch, owned by James Harmer. In
1910 collection of her poems, under the
title Of ''Melaia and Other Poems,' was
published in London, and in the succeed
ing year was republished in New York,
with many additions by the author. In
1910 she issued ELIZA Cooks Journal"
a weekly publication designed, in her own
words, TO aid the gigantic struggle for
intellectual elevation now going on"

many vigorous prose articles and new
poems from her pen.-Detroit Free Press.

wAsHINGToN's KINDLY WAY.
Gen. Greene's Daughter and the
Great President.


Martha Littlefeld Phillips, who was
the granddaughter of Gen. Nathaniel
Greene's youngest daughter, contributes
to the Century 'Recollections of Wash
ington and His Friends" taken down
from the lips of her grandmother. She
quotes the following account of her grand
mothers first meeting with Washington !:
1.-The second great event of my early
life" said she, was my first interview
with General Washington. But a faint
suggestion now survives of the love and
reverence for Washington which inspired
the children of the Revolution. These
sentiments were exceptionally strong in
my brothers and sisters and myself, be-
cause in addition to the sentiment of pat
riotism was the personal regard we held
for Washington as our fathers intimate
friend and immediate commander.
My mother had deeply imbued me
with the honor in store, and had drilled
my behavior to meet all the probable re-
quirements Of the occasion. | was, for
example, to rise from my seat for pre-
sentation to General Washington, and
after rendering him my prOfoundest cour-
tesy, stand at ease, and modestly an
swer all his possible questions, but at the
same time keep religious1y in the back
ground, where all the good little girls of
that day were socially referred.
1.-THE eyentful day came, and l was
taken by my mother to Mount Vernon TO
make the longed-for visit. We were gra-
ciously welcomed by Mrs. Washington;
but my heart was so thick with futter-
ing, and my tongue so tied, that L made
