Our Debt to WASHINGTON.

One purpose held him bravely true,
One high hope formed his creed, hi,
law,
He builded better than he knew,
Though great the glory he foresaw.
He had the heart, the will to dare
When others laughed his hope to scorn
He had the strength to calmly bear
What few ere him had ever borne
With matches fortitude he strove,
With patience waited for his hour;
Provided with the front of Jove
He asked not for a tyrant's power
Imbued with knightly chivalry
And wishing justice-nothing more
He left Faith, Pride and Liberty
Where hopelessness had been before.

WashInaton's Records Public

Few men have left so complete a
record of their public lives as Wash
Ington. He began early to keep copies
of all his important letters and after
the outbreak Of the revolution he was
undoubtedly conscious that the cir
cumstances of his career were such
as to make record of them. one
which would be of interest to others
than those of his own generation. This
fact in itself must have acted as \
restraint to the free expression of feel
Ings in which lesser men may indulge
themselves.

antiquary of his day, who called on
Sir Isaac by appointment. The servant
who opened the door said that Sir
Isaac was in his study and must not

wait for the great mathematician, as
it was near his hour for dining, and by
and by boiled chicken under cover

An hour passed and Sir Isaac did not
appear. The hungry and philosophic
antiquary calmly devoured the fowl.
and, replacing the cover on the empty
dish, requested the servant to get an
other bird prepared for his master
Before the dish was ready, Sir Isaac
came down from his study, and, apollo
giving for his dilatoriness, said, Give
me leave to take my short dinner and
I shall be at your service. I am ia
