I marked her tre d with weary feet,
The i-arth no longer dear;
And turn a look hall sa l L»lf sweet.
On flowers that brought no cheer.
For She was lmt n faded flower;
How pale her cheek appeals;
Health's r ises fade 'neath frequent shower,
Or nightly dew of tears.
There was one flower she' dearly prixed,
A dry an 1 scentless thing;
And vet its brown leave* to her eyes
Strange gleam of joy could bring.
'Whence came Its power, Its petals dead
No sil.yt tale unfold;
And yet the things she therein reads
Could not be I .ought for gold.

he noteB there was wind and ruin
and “at night a large circle round
the moon.’’
The morning of the 12th was
overcast. Tbe morning he wrote a
letter to Hamilton heartily approving ,
of a plan for a military academy,'
which the latter had submitted to the
Secretary of War.
About 10 o’clock lie mounted his
horse and rode out as usual to make
the round of the estate. The otnin
ous ring round tbe moon, which he
had observed on the preceding night
proved a fatal portent. “About 1
o clock he notes, “it began to snow,
soon after to hail, and then turned to
a settled cold rain.” Having on an
overcoat, he oontirued his ride with
out regarding the weather, and did
not return to his house till - after 3.
His secretary approached him with
letters to be franked, that they might
be taken to the post office in the
evening. Washington franked the
letters, but observed that the weather
was too bad to send a servant out
with them. Mr. Lear perceived that
snow was hanging from his hair, and
expresssed liis fears that he had got
wet; but he replied, “No, his great
coat had kept him dry.” As dinner
had been '-waiting for him, he sat
down tojjlie table without changing liis
dress. “In the evening,” writes hiS
secrotary, “he appeared as well as

On the following morning the

trees which had overgrown it and
Caused it to leak. “This change,”

ed of a sore throat, and had evident
ly taken cold the day before. In the*
afternoon the weather cleared up,
and lie went out on the grounds be
tween the house and the river, to
mark some trees which were to be
cut down. A hoarseness which had
hung about liim through the d-.ty
grew -worse towards night, but he
made light of-it.
He was very cheerful in the evert
ing, as be sat in the parlor with Mrs
Washington and Mr. Lear, amusing
himself with the papers which had
been brought from the post-office.
When he met with a thing interest
ing or entertaining, lie would read it
aloud as well as liis hoarseness would
permit, or He listened and made oc
casional comments -while Mr. Lear
read the debates of tbe Virginia
Assembly.
On retiring to bed, Mr. Lear sug
gested that lie should take something
to relieve his cold.' “No,” replied
be, “you know I never take anything
for a cold.' Let it go as it came.”
In the night he was extremely ill
witli ague and difficulty of breathing.
Between two and three o’clock in tlie
morning he awoke Mrs. Washington,
who could have risen to caH a servant,
but he jwpwL 1 ficiniK-fcrjr lest- une
shouldLike cold. At daybreak, when
■the servant woman entered to make
a fire, she was Sent to’ c ill Mr. Lear.
He found the General breathing with
difficulty, and hardly able to utter a
word intelligibly. Washington de-'
sired that Dr. Craik, who lived in
Alexandria, should be sent for, and
that in the mean-time Rawlins, one of
ths overseers,- should be summoned,,
to bleed him before the doctor could
us. I told him that I
could recollect nothing, but that I
hoped be was not so near hia end.
He observed, smiling, that he certain*
lv was and that as it was the debt
which we all must pay, he looked to
tire event with perfect resignation.”
In the course of the afternoon ho
appeared to be in.great pain and dis

and frequently changed bis pqsture
in the bed. Mr. Lear endeavored to
raise him and turn him with us much
ease us possible. “I am afraid I
futigut you too much,’’ the General
would say. Upon being assured to
the contrary, “Well,’’ observed be
gratefully, “It isa debt we must pay
to each other, and I hope when yod
want aid of this kind you will find it.’’
His servant, Christopher, had been
in the room during the day, and al
most the whole time on hia feet. Tbe
General noticed it in tbe afternoon,
and kindly told him to sit down.
About 5 o’clock his old fr^nd, Dr.
Craik, came iigAid into the room, and
approached his bedside. “Doctor,”
said the General, “I die hard, but I.
amnot afraid to go. I beleived, from
my first attack, that I should not.fljir-
vive it—my breath cannot last long.”
Thedoctor pressed his hand in silence,
retired from tho bed side, and sat ly
the fire absorbed in grief.
Between five and six, the other
physicians came in, nnd he was as
sisted to sit up in his bed. “I feel I
am going," said he; “I thank you
for your attentions,.but I pray you
to take no.more trouble about me;
let me go off quietly ; I cannot last
long.” Ho laid down again ; all re
tired except Dr. Crail* The Gene
ral continued uneasy ami restless, but
without complaining, frequently ask
ed what hour it was.
Further remedies were tried with
out avail in the evening. He took
whatever was offered him, did as lie
was desired by the physicians, nnd
never uttered a sigh or complaint.-
1 About ten o’clock,” writes Mr.
Lear, “he made several attempts to
speak to me before be could effect it.
At length be said, “I ain just going.
Have inc decently buried, and do not
let my body be put into the vault in
less than three days after I am dead.”
I bowed assent, for I could not speak.
He then looked at me again and said,
“ Do you understand me ?” I replied,
- Yes.” “Tis well,” said he.
“About ten minutes before he ex
pired (which was between ten and
eleven o’clock, oh the night of De

“While we-were fixed in silent

a firm and--collected voice, “Is he

up my hand ws a signal that be was
no more. “’Tis well,’’ said she, in

“ Martin was a great favorite with

never showed any marked partlfiiify
to any^one, until he became intimate
with Isabella Ashton, tho daughter
of our late clergyman, who died of
grief about a year ago.
“No two beings could be more
different. Isabella ‘was tlie most
young anil thoughtless girl in the
village. She could have little , sym

reeling and intellect as Marlin; and
beautiful as she was, it seemed
strange that ho should have given his

the church yard.
“‘It- is a silly report,’ said Mar
tin. ‘Nobody can believe that a
ghost has really been seen there;
and I doubt if a person here believes
at all in the existence of ghosts.’
. “ You do, yourself—you know yofl
do,.Martin, although you are ash im-
cd to own it,’ cried Isabella. But
Martin only laughed. ‘ Como now,’
contiqed the thoughtless girl, ‘I can
prove that you have some idea that
such things may exist. Go to the
church yard alone in the dark, and
then declare, if yea can,, that, you
have felt no fear ?’
“‘And what would that prove?’
“‘.Why, you would be frighted,

when their reason tolls them there is
no cause to fear. But I deny in the
first place that a journey to the
church-yard, evert at midnight, would
frighten me in tho least.

said Isabella, indulging in her C-8
tomary tone of sarcasm. “But no

One of them forced Martin to relax
his hold on tlie throat of the figure,
whilst,the other tore away tlie folds
of the sheet. At that moment the
bearer of tjie lamp came up. Its*
light fell on the blood-stained,, dis
torted feature of Isabella! Martin*
uttered one more unearthly shriek,
and fell lifeless upon the corpse. He
never spoke again, but lived—an
idiot!
“A frightful contusion on Isabella's
temple bore evidence that in his
frenzy he had struck the supposed
spectre wi th. the iron b ir. The blow
w is probably the cause of her death,
although such a gmsp as his hands
must have given her throat, might
alone have deprived her of breath.
