THE MOTHER OF WASHINGTON.

courage and fought on until the clouds
had disappeared and he stood forth in
the bright sunlight looking over a ui-
umphant infant nation. which was to be-
come one of the greatest on the globe.
How thoroughly lyrical of the mother
was her reception of the news Of her
sons successful passage of the Delaware
in the bleak December Of 1776. When she
came to those portions Of the dispatches
which were panegyrical of her son, she
modestly and coolly observed to the
bearers of the good tidings, that George
appeared to have deserved wen Of his
country for each signal service. But, my
good sirs," she added, there Is too much
fiattery!-Stin George viii not forget the
lessons I have taught him-he will not
forget himself, though he is the subject
Of so much praise"
Another splendid example Of the type
of woman as was the mother Of George
Washington Is expressed In the final
visit Of Gen. Lafayette to pay his re-
spects to her Just before starting for his
home in France. in 1854 Conducted by
one Of her grandsons. he approached the
house. when the young gentleman OBJ
served:
There, sir, is my grandmother" La
fayette beheld-working in the garden,
clad in domestic-made clothes, and her
gray head covered with a plain straw
hat-the mother of her hero, his friend
and a country's preserver! The lady
saluted him kindly. observing: 'Ah, Mar
quis! you see an old woman; but come,
can make you welcome to my poor
dwelling without the parade of changing
my dress"
During the interview, Lafayette. refer
ring to her son, could not withhold his
encomiums, which drew from the mother
this beautifully simple remark: II am
not surprised at what George has done.
for he was always a good boy
On the seventh of May, 1888, the corner
stone of a fine monument was erected
over her grave in the cemetery at Fred
ericksburg, and Gen. Jackson. then Presi-
dent of the United States, closed his ad
dress with the following tribute: Eel
low-citizens. at your request and in your
name. I now deposit this plate in the
spot destined for it.: and when the Ameri-
can pilgrim shall, in after ages. come up
to this high and holy place. and lay his
hand upon this sacred column. may he
recall the virtues of her who sleeps be-
meath. and depart with his affections
purified. and his piety strengthened. while
he evokes blessings upon the Mother OF
Washington"

The mother in her Office holds the key
OF the soul; and she it is who stamps the com
OF character and makes the being who would be
savase.
But for her gentle cares. Christian man
Old Play.
Just as Washington is inevitably to be
known as the Father of His Country
SO the mother Of Washington may be
appropriately named the mother of our
nation" And that she is worthy of the
title. as much so as her son is to his,
was shown in all the noble deeds of this
great American woman. Mary Washing
toms life was one unbroken series Of
praiseworthy actions In the Revolution
ary drama, in which she figured in many
of its earlier scenes. by her noble and in
spring womanhood her example went
far toward making and molding the first
chief of our nation.
Mary Washington's whole life was so
strikingly grand. she was uniformly so
gentle. SO amiable and so dignifed. that
it would be difficult to fix the eye on any
one act more striking than the rest. The
illustrious son. naturally. so overshadow-
ed the modest and unassuming mother,
that We are very prone to forget to give
credit to the woman to which he owed
much of his greatness. Always absorbed
in the domestic duties she discharged so
faithfully, she made her great gift to
men. and then passed from the stage as
quietly and as modestly as she had lived
and labored.
But Washington never forgot the real
source of his greatr ess. He was always
remindful of the woman whose virtues
had warmed his own and had fitted him
to become the man of unbending integrity
and heroic courage. WashinStons father
having died when George was a young
man. ii fell to the lot of the mother to
rear her five children with that untiring
hand which guided so many widows
through this perilous season. And as the
richest reward Of a mothers solicitude
and toll, she had the happiness of seeing
all of her children come forward with a
fair promise into life and lived to wit
ness the noble career of her eldest son.
till by his own rare merits. he was
raised to the head of nation, and ap-
plauded and revered by the whole world.
Had Washington failed the cause of
liberty would have failed also. But.
thanks to the grea. mothers teaching
he looked within when all was dark. took
