If Ito bail lived till yostunlay lu* would

Just think of that.
It is about tin* ago of the ohlost itiltabi-
tant.
WasUtnjRou was a groat man.
I lo was first in war, first in |»oaoo, nml
first in tho hoar|£i of his oouiitfyuioii, atul
belougoil to ouc’Af tho first famibos of \'ir-
ginia. ^
Ho was likowisotin 1 Katherofhis (hnmtry.
If ho was alive now I don’t think lu*
would fool proud of his offspring.
1 tad ho still eoutinuod to rosidi* up to this
time at Motjnt N ortton ho would not bo olli-
giblo to a seat in (.’ongross.
r riiat lovely patriot, Tlpul Stevens, would
ottsign him to martial law ami dislram hiso-
mont.
Tho soil on wliieh ho was born, and on
wliiolt his bones lost, is no longer tho land
of tho free, hut orushod and dismembered;
Virginia wears more galling chains than
those which fell from her limbs when the
last foreign foe yielded at Vorktown.
Pennsylvania, whore rebellion first dis
turbed the'pome of the Voting Kcpuldic,
lias spawned forth an a roll malignant, a
lineal descendant of tho whisky violet's whom
Washington crushed, to riot in the degrada
tion of the State ennobled as the birth-place
of Washington.
Of course you have heard of the little dog
and tho dead lion.
What are the glories of the past compared
wit It the glories of the present ?
Or of the great men of the devolution,
since greater have arisen who know so much
more about government and the fundamen
tal principles ol rcmihlicanism.
’ ' Washington lived in this generation,
lie couldn't have been a great man.
One of the earliest traits of his character
was his inability to tell a lie.
That alone would have ruined his political
prospects.
As a general, he wouldn’t have done either.
lie never expressed an intention ol light
ing it out all the summer oil any particular
line.
Then we don’t hear of anybody making
fortunes l>y army contracts for beef ami
shoddy in his day.
A republican administration never could
have tolerated such a eouiinaiider-iu-cliiel.
Then his farewell address would have
been fatal to his reputation.
The principles be enunciated would have
shocked the Hadieal press, and he would
have been denounced as a Copperhead.
He wits open to a shspieion of free trade
nrocHvilies because In* nlliliated with a
I lost on party who refused to pay the duty
on tea.
Conseipiontly the Tribune would have
been down on him.
Some men nre born too soon, some too
late. Washington was bom about the right
time.
Peoplo didn’t know so much in his day.
Ur, at least, they didn’t send such wise
men to Congress.
People were satisfied with the Cnion
under the Constitution then, entertaining a
very foolish respect Ibr the Constitution
without the amendments.
There arc several anecdotes of Washing
ton extant.
One of which is about a Jlritisli sentinel
who was on picket, duty one night when he
saw a man—a tall man—ride by. This
liriliah sentinel, who was strictly loyal U
his Government, thought he would shoot the
tall man. As the idea oecuared to him, he
raised his gun to carry it out. Jyst before
he pulled the trigger the llritish sentinel
altered his mind nnd didn’t shoot.
The tall man who wasn’t shot was Wash
ington.
lie never know it until somebody told
him of it afterwards.
Such was the greatness of his mind.

privately to ino f>y liia mirao, Joyco llultl,
when Blie was in ilarmun’s niUHUUin,
Washington's father mailli littlo Urorgoa
ChristmaB present of a nice little plum tree,
which ho had bought at a hardware storo
in Richmond.
Little George, who was of an inquiring
turn of mind, wuutcd to iind out whore tlie
S lums came from, so lie took n favorite
atchet that tlie hired girl used to chop
kindling wood with nnd -ehopped up the
tree.
It took oil tho edgo of a hatchet and
hacked it like a buck saw, so that it wouldn't
split fine kindling wood.
“Who lias done this?” said old Sir.
Washington, looking around for n hickory
switch to warm his offspring.
“ Father,” said Georgy, with the presence
of mind of future greatness, “I’m the buy
who dissected that specimen of horticulture.”
“ Gomo to my anus, my Son,” said tlie old
gentleman.
Thoro is only ono parnllol in American
history to this touching story of attach
ment to veracity.
When Coiouol Billy Wilson’s Zouaves,
of predatory notoriety, were encamped on
Staten Island in. 1861, some benevolent per
sons in Kow York took- up n- collection to
supply tho lambs with hymn hooks and
chewing tobacco.
The committee, with tho funds, went
down to Stateu'Island, passed through the
camii inspected tho lambe in their tents,
to Colonel Billy's head
quarters. The chairman made a neat speech,
