There is beauty and charm about
the name of Washington that age and
time cannot annihilate. He is an ever
green, and his name is crowned with a
garland of imperishable verdure. Wash
ington appears, in his military and civil
character, on the pages of history as glori-
ously conspicuous as the sun in the heavens.


But we are now to behold him in anoth-
er relation to have an inside view of him;
to consider that part of his private and
personal history that has never been made
prominent by any Of his numerous and
gifted historians. We are to- contemplate
him as loUer; yes, and disappointed
lover. also.


Washington's love disappointments form
thrilling chapters in his life that invest it
with peculiar interests far surprising ro-
nance, more delightful than tales of fc-
ton; for they are not mere imaginary love
stories, not fancy. but fact, sober truth,
real history intimately blended with that
of the nation who delights to call him fa-
ther.


Love is a subject, ancient as the grand
old mountains. aud yet as fresh as the
morning.


Love has been the theme of the sage
and poet in every CLINE and age love
also appears in the dreams of fancy. and
on the philosophic page of reason.


/. Love is the most wonderful passion of
the human soul. 'Tis not easy to define
lit, for we have no dictionary of love. and
yet many who are reading these lines know
by experience what it means. Love has
wings, and moves with wonderful rapidi-
ty. Cupid has his bow of strength, and
his golden-headed arrows which. while he
takes direct aim for the heart, he shoots
with the velocity of lightning. and yet

A statement was made by one of the
speakers and the President OF the Lake
Erie meeting that some of the signatures
appended to the call for the opposition
railroad meeting was. obtained by misap.
prehension.


1t is needless. to say that the character
Of the gentlemen who obtained the sig.
natures to that paper utterly refutes any
such insinuation.


The case Of the young Main street mer.
chant who was referred to was simply
this: He told the gentlemen who request.
ed his signature that he did not know any
thing about the matter, and had taken no
interest in it; but as the proposed meeting
was for the purpose of obtaining light on
the subject and for the discussion of the
guarantee and security" he was willing
to sign the call.


The matter VIC apprehend is not Of
much importance in itself, but illustrates
the fact that, there are men, too many we
fear, who to-day will give their vote un,
der the mistaken idea oil building rail.
roads and bridges, when they are binding
the city in useless debt, merely because
"they don't know anything about it"
