of ita own that notably distinguished it
from idl other books of its kind. Tt has
no likeness in all the range of English lit

man that ever lived save its author. It
is ail his own, and we do not hesitate to
assert that, in Hjiite of the eccentricities of
its style, which sets nil the established
canons of criticism and rules of taste at ut

1808.
Wn regret that we know little of the
history of Mason 1.. Weems, But we have
met aged per >ns who have seen him in
itesh, and from these wo lluvo heard noth
ing hot praise. Ho was a brave, sincere,
enthusiastic, honest clergyman—the en
emy of gambling, intemperance, and tin
prevailing vices of his day, against which
lie wrote books that had great popularity;
and be was the outspoken blit genial and
winning advocate of virtue and religion,
the warmth of bis heart endearing him to
people wherever ho went and preparing
them to give fond ear to his fervid up
peals for truth. Above all, ho was a pa
triot whose enthusiasm for the liberties of
his country was tho master passion of his
soul. Ho was the pastor of the old church
atPoliick and (he friend of Washington,
who attended his preaching,and lie was for
many years a familiar visitor at Mount
Vernon. His love for Washington bor
dered on worship, and when lie name to
write the life of hiß hero his whole heart
was thrown into the work, and fancy and
imagination, which held away over Ml tin
other faculties of liis mind, were notspar
ingof tinto to complete the portrait of tho
perfect man. We have been informed
\ t Mr. Weems lived to a great age, but
in time and place of his death wo have
i information. He had a son who was a
reputnh o member of Congress sixty years
•tro, and *h" f '* all we know of his family.
But l o still livea, and we trust for the
honoi* of his country he will always live, in
his lxx>k.
The opening of the first chapter of this
curious volume is an admirable introduc
tion to what follows, presenting in a sin
gle paragraph a fair specimen of Weems’
original method of writing biography.
YVe transcribe it:
“Ah, gentlemen,” Exclaimed Bonaparte
—’twos just as he was about to embark
for Egypt, -some young American!) hap
pening at Toulon, and anxious to see the
mighty Corsican, had obtained the honor
of an introduction to him. Scarcely wore
past the customary salutations, when he
eagerly naked, “How fares your country
man, the great Washington V” “Ho woe
very well,” replied the youths, brighten
ing at the thought that they were the
omntrvmen of Washington, “he was very
well. General, when we left America.'’
“At 1 , gentlemen.” rejoined he, “Wash
ington can never bo otherwise than well,
the measure of his fame is full. Posterity
shall talk of him with reverence ns the
founder of a great empire when my name
shall be lost in the vortex of revolutions.”
Who, then, that has a spark of virtuous
curiosity but must wish to know the his
tory of him whose name could thus awa
ken the sigh even of Bonaparte ?
Who ? surely enough.
This pertinent anecdote, like many oth
ers that enliven Parson Weems’ book, it
is almost needless to say, was the pro
duct of his overflowing imagination, and,
as its admirers may argue, is no more to
lie despised because it is without founda
tion in fact, than an allegory or a para
bit), or any other fanciful device forgetting
a good moral or wholesome example
squarely before tie- readers mind. To
this class of pleasing ami instructive in
ventions belongs tho famous hatchet story,
which, without any delay, wo present in
the original words of Weems:
Wheu George was about six years old
he was made the wealthy master of a
hatchet, of which, like most little hoys,
he was immoderately fond, mid was con
stantly going-alvmt chopping everything
that came in bin wny. One day In the
garden, where he often- amused himself
hacking his mother’s pea-sticks, 1m un
hiokily tried the edge of liis lmtehot on
the body of a beautiful young English
cherry tree, which be barked so terribly 1
that I don’t believe the tree ever got the
better of it. The next morning, (lie old
gentleman, finding out what had befallen
bis tree, which, by the way, was a great
favorite, came into the house and with
much warmth asked for the mischievous
author, declaring ut the same time that
he woukl not have token five guineas for
hia tree. Nobody could tell him anything
about it. Presently George and liis
hatchet made their appearance. ‘ “George, ”
said his father, “do you know who killed
tlmt beautiful little cherry tree yonder in
tin- garden V” This was a tough question
and George staggered under it for a mo
ment. but quickly recovered himself and,
looking at his father with the sweet face
*>f youth brightened with the inexprvssi
Me charm of all conquering truth, hriftely
oried out, “I can’t tell a lie. Pa, you
know I can’t tell a lie; 1 did cut it with
wry Imtohet.” “Run to rov arms, you
dearest boy,” cried bis father in trans
ports, “run to ary arms—glad urn I,
I George, that you ever killed my tree, tor
; you have paid mo for it u thousand fold.
Such : u net of heroism in my son is worth
more than a thousand trees though blos
somed with silver and their fruits of pur
est gold.”
Parson Weems had small idea when
- this little fiction shaped itself in his head
1 tlmt it was destined to descend to poster
ity, leaving Ills most lalKired and eloquent
i pus sagos in oblivion, and be ground into
! tin-1 leads of children ill the nursery as a
piece of immortal and instinctive truth.
It was in flights liko the following that
his fancy loved to soar. He is describing
tho buttle of Trenton, and when he gets
his hero on a battle field bis pun invariably
runs away with him:
The sun had just tipped with gold the
adjacent hills, when snowy Trenton, with
the wide-touted fields of tho foe, lioVO in
sight. To the young in arms this was an
awful scene, and nature culled u short
lived terror to their hearts. But not un
seen of Washington was their fear. He
marked the sudden paleness of their
i cheeks when first they beheld tho enemy,
| and rollick, with half stifled sighs, turned
!on him their wistful look. As the big
! lion of Earn, calling his brindled sons to
j battle against tho mighty rkinuceraai, if
lie marked their falling manes, nnd
j crouching to liis sido, instantly puts on all
I his terrors; his eyes roll in blood; he shakes
■ the forest with his deepening roar, till
! kindled by their father’s fire the inaddeu-
I ing cnbs swell with answering rage, and
I spring undaunted on tho monster. Thus
stately and terrible rode Columbia’s first
and greatest son ulong the front of his
halted troops.
This is tho way that Mr. Weems thought
Gen. Washington must have looked when
making an address to his officers;
“As lie spoke his chocks, naturally pale,
were reddened over with virtue’s pure
Vermillion, while his eyes of cerulean blue
were, kindled up with those indescribable
flies which fancy lends to an angel orator
animating poor mortals to tho sublime of
God-like deeds. ”
An amusing instance of Weems’ way of
descending suddenly from tho sublilnest
discussions of the imagination to the
homln-st illustrations of truth, is presented
in tlie following passage. After speaking
of his hero’s wonderful virtnres ns a hus
band, friend, citizen, farmer and master,
he proceeds:
But his eulogists have denied him those,
tho only scenes which belong to man the
groat, anil have tricked him up in the
vile drapery of man tho little. 800 1 there
he stands, with the port of Mars the de
stroyer, and nit frowning over flic fields of
war; tho lightning of Potter’s blade is by
liis side; the dee,,-mouthed cannon is be
fore him, disgorging its flesh-mangling
balls; bis war horse paws with impatience
to bear him a speedy thunderbolt, against
the pale and bleeding ranks of Britain.
These arc the drawings usually given of
Washington—drawings masterly no doubt
tnil perhaps justly descriptive of him in
some scenes of liis life; but scenes they
were which I am sure his soul abhorred,
and in which at any rate yon see nothing
of his private virtues. These old-fashioned
commodities arc generally thrown into the
background of the picture and treated ns
tho grandees at the London anil Paris
route trout their good old aunts and grand
mothers—huddling them together into the
back rooms, there to wheeze and cough by
themselves, and not depress tho fine
laudanum-raised spirits of tho young
sparklers.
'liie following description of the recep
tion in England of the news of the French
and Indian war, in which Washington fol
lowed Briithlook, and which was provoked
by incursions of the French on the Eng
lish settlements, has no likeness to any
thing else tlmt we lmvo ever seen in the
range of our little readings:
Swift, ns the broad-winged pockets could
fly across the deep the news was carried to
England. Its ofl’oet there was like that of
a stone rudely hurled against n nest of
hornets. Instantly, from centre to cir
cumference, nil is rage and bustle; the
hive resounds with the maddening insoo •;
dark, tumbling from their cells, they
j spread tho hasty wing, and, shrill, wliiz
| zing through tho air they rush to find the
! foe. Just so, in the sen-ruling island,
j from queen’s house to ale house, from king
to cockney, all wore fierce for fight. Even
tho rod-nosed porters, whore they mot,
bending under their burdens, would stop
full-butt in the streets to talk of England’s
wrongs, and ns they talked their fiery
snouts were seen to grow more fiery still
and more deform. Then throwing their
packs to the ground and leaping into the
attitude of boxers, with sturdy arms
across and rough black jaws stretched nut,
they bend forward to tho fancied fight.
The frog-eating foe, in shirtless rutiles nnil
long, lank cue, seems to givo ground;
then rising in their might, with iiro
strikiug eyes, tlioy press hard upon him,
and coming in, hand and foot, with kick
and cuff and many a hearty curse, they
show the giggling crowd how, damn ’em,
they would thump the French. The news
was brought to Britain’s King just as he
had dispatched his pudding and sat right
royally amusing himself with a slice of
Gloucester and a nip of ale. From the
lips of the King down fell the luckless
cheese, idns 1 Not graced to comfort the
stomach of tho Lord's anointed while
crowned with snowy foam, his ifut-browu
ulo stood untested by his plate. Sud
denly, as ho heard the news, the monarch
1 darkened iwstiis place and answering dark
ness shrouded all liis court. In silence he
rolled liis eyes of fire on the floor nnd
twirled his terrible thumbs— bis pages
shrunk from liis presence, for who could
stand before the king of thundering ships
when wrath, in gleams of lightning,
flashed from his dark red eyes. Starting
at length, as.from a trance, lie swallowed
liis ale, then, clenching his fist, he gave
tho table a tremendous knock and cursed
the wooden-shoed nation by liis God.
Swift as lie cur.ro 1 tho dogs of w ir bounded
from their kennels, keen fi r the chase,
: and snuffing the blood of F euehmon on
i every gale, they raised a bowl of death
j which reached these peaceful shores.
\\ e have space for but one more selec
tion from the book of this patriot parson.
After a ’ description of the deathbed of
Washington, conceived in his finest vein,
ho gives the following characteristic ac
count. of tho departure of his hero’s spirit
to the other world:
Swift, on angel’s wings, the brighten
ing saint ascended while voices more than
human were heard (in fancy’s ear) warbling
through the happy regions and hymning
the great procession toward the gates of
heaven, liis glorious coming was seen
afar of! and myriads- of mighty angels
hastened forth, with golden lmrps, to wel
come tho honored stranger. High in front
of the shouting hosts were set'll the boun
teous forms of Franklin, Warren, Mercer,
Scammel, and him who fell ut Quebec,
with all the virtuous patriots who, on the
side of Columbia, toiled or bled for liberty
and truth. But oh 1 how changed from
w’lmt they were when, ill their (lays of flesli
i bathed in sweat and blood, they fell at
| the parent feet of their weeping country.
| Not tin' homeliest) infant suddenly spring
ing into a soul enchanting llobe—-not
dreary winter suddenly brightening into
i spring, with all her bloom and fragrance
i ravishing the senses, could equal such
| glorious change. Oh ! where are now their
! wrinkles and gray hairs? Where their
i ghastly wounds nnd dotted blots! ? Their
tin ms are of the stature of an gels, their
robes like morning clouds streaked with
gold, the stars of heaven liko crowns
glitter on their heads, immortal visith,
celestial rosy red, sits blooming on their
checks, while infinite benignity and love
beam from tlicir eyes. Such were the
forms of thy sons, O Columbia I Sacli
tho brother bund of tliy martyred saints
that now [sinrod forth from heaven’s wide
opened gates to meet thy Washington, to
meet their beloved chief who in tho days
of his mortulity had led their embattled
squadrons to tlie war. At sight of him
even these blessed spirits seeln to feel new
raptures and to look more dazzlingly
bright. In joyous throngs they pour
around him; they devour him with their
eyes of love; they embrace him in trans
ports of tenderness unutterable, while
from their roseate cheeks tears of joy such
ns angels weep roll down, All that fol
lowed was too orach for tho dazzled eye
of Imagination. She was seen to return
with the quick-panting bosom and looks
entranced of a fouil mother near swooning
at sudden sight of a dear-loved son, deemed
lost, but now found and raised to kingly
honors. She was heard passionately to
exclaim, with palms anil eyes lifted to
heaven, “Oh, who can count tlie stars of
Jacob or number the fourth part of the
blessings of Israel '! Let me die the death
of Washington and may my latter end be
like his 1”
It may lend additional interest to the
book to set down the circumstances that
Mr. Lincoln, in the days of his poverty
stricken youth, borrowed “Weems’ Life
of Washington,” anil devoured it eagerly
as all boys do; but having left it exposed
|to the rain, where it became ntterly
j spoiled, lie pulled corn for three days to
! pay the owner for its loss.
Ammonia.
No housekeeper should bo without a
bottle of spirits of ammonia, tor besides
its medicinal value, it is invaluable for
household purposes. It is nearly as use
ful as soap, and its cheapness brings it
within the reach of all. Put a tenupoon
fitl of ammonia in a quart of warm soap
suds, dip in a flannel cloth, and wipe oil'
the dust nnd fly-specks, grin n and smoke,
and see for yourselves how much labor it
will save. No scrubbing will bo needful.
Jt will cleanse anil brighten silver wouder
fully; to a pint of hot suds mix ateaspoon
ful of the spirits, dip in your silver forks,
etc., mb with a brush, nnd then polish
on chamois skin. For washing mirrors
mid windows it is very desirable; put n
| few drops of ammonia on a piece of news
! paper, and you will readily take off every
i spot or finger-mark on the glass. Tt will
| take out grease spots from every fabric;
i put on tho ammonia nearly dry, lay blot
ting-paper over the place, and press a hot
flatiron on it for a few moments. A few
drops in water will clean laces anil
whiten them ns well; also muslins.
Then it is a most refreshing agent at the
toilet table; a few drops in a basin of water
will make a bettor bath than pure water,
niul if the skin is oily, it will remove all
glossiness mid disagreeable oders. Added
to a foot-bath it entirely absorbs all nox
ious smells, so often arising from the feet
in warm weather, nnd nothing is better
| for cleaning tho hair from dandruff and
dust. For cleaning the hair and nail
i brushes it is equally good. Fill a tea
spoonful ol' ammonia into one pint of
warm wator nnd shnkcjtbc brushes through
the water and put them ib the sunshine,
or in a warm place, to dry. The dirtiest
brushes will come out of tho bath white
and clean,
For medicinal purposes ammonia is
almost nnrivalled. For headache it is n
most desirable stimulant, nnd frequent
Blinding of its pungent odors will often
entirely remove n catarrhal cold. There is
no better remedy for heartburn nnd ]
dyspepsia, and the aromatic spirits of j
ammonia is especially prepared for these
troubles, and ton’drops of it in a wine- 1
glassful of water, are a great relief. The!
spirits of ammonia can bo taken *in the j
same way, but it. is not tin palatable. In j
addition to all these uses, the effects of j
ammonia on vegetation are beneficial. If
; you desire roses, geraniums, fuchsias,
| etc., to become luoi-o flourishing, you cun
try it upon them by adding five or six
I drops of it. to every pint of warm water
tlmt. you give them, but do not repeat the
dose oftener than one© in five or six days,
lest yon stimulate them too highly, llain
j water is impregnated with ammonia, and
I thus it refreshes and vivifies vegetable life.
; So bo sure and keep a large bottle of it in
! the house, and have a glass stopper for it,
ns it is very evanescent, and also injurious
to corks, eating them away.
