The Age Of Washington.

However his military fame may ex.
cite the wonder Of mankind, it is chiefly
by his civil magistracy that Washing
tons example will instruct them.
Such a chief magistrate as Washing
ton appears like the pole star in a clear
sky, to direct the skillful statesman.
His presidency will form an epoch and
be distinguished as the age Of Wash
ington. Already it assume its high
place in the political region. Like the
sltlky Way, it whitens along It's allot-
ted portion Of the hemisphere. The
latest generations Of men will suvye.y
through the telescope Of history, tho
space where so many virtues blend
their rays and delight to separate them
into groups and distinct virtues. As
the best Illustration OF them. the living
monument to which the first of pa
triots would have chosen to consign his
fame, It is my earnest prayer to heaven
that u country may subsist, even IL
that late day, in the plenitude Of Its
liberty and happiness ard mingle its
mild glory with NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

scarcely a man had a pair of shoes. Al

by the trees, came up, Washington was
interceding for his beloved country.
When he reached home his wife asked
the reason for his agitation.
