On the 1th of March, 1853, 1 stood
for nearly two hours in the open area
at the eastern front of the Capitol tit

of the "Father of his Country," the
lirst 1'resident of the nation, and the

great patriot's will, lie was present
ween his foster-father took tho
oath of office administered by Chancellor

a fow times. 1 crossed the ferry at
Georgetown on the first bright morning
thereafter, and found Mr. Cu.st.is
in his studio giving some touches to
his picture of "The Surrender at
Vorktown."
The mansion (yet standing) occupies
a commanding site over throe
hundred feet above tide-water, overlooking
the cities of Washington

flowing between. The building
is of brick, and presents a front,

Arlington House was plethoric
with precious mementoes of the
Washington and t'uslis families, consisting
of some rare works of art,
plate, china, furniture, ornaments, j
and a large quantity of valuable
manuscripts. On the walls hung a
Kit-Kat portrait, life size, of Colonel
Daniel l'ark, the ancestor of Mr.
Cust-is, who carried to (,>110.011 Antic j
I the news of Marlborough's victory at
h J
Blenheim. It was painted by Sir
[Godfrey Knollor. Near it hung a J
nicturo of an old Reformer, painted
by Van Dyke. There also were the
throe-quartor length portraits of
l)ani( 1 Darke ami Martha Custis, by |
Woolaston. There were other por-1
traits of the Washington ami Custis
families. One of these was the portrait
of Washington in the costume

On my first visit at Arlington
House, iii 1818, 1 saw a living rolic
of tlio Washington family moro interesting
than all tho rest. Mrs.
r>
Custis, urn Kitzhugh, a charming woman,
Ohristliko in character and disposition,
and saintlike in lior works
of hcnovolenco and her perennial
goodness, sho presided over the
household at Arlington. She was
r>
like a mother and a guardian angel
i ?? f... - i ?
i in inn wim iiu mo pnysicai and
spiritual cbmfort of their slaves, and
was a blessing to the poor far and
near. She was a most geiitlo creature--slight
in frame, sweet in the
j expression of her fair face; her voice
was soft and musical, and she retained
much of her early personal boauI
ty. Ilei piety was fervid but unos?
tentation, and her presence was like
sunlight in a room. She codwcted
1 family worship morning and evening,
while her husband, standing,
' invoked a blessing at every meal.
On the morning after my arrival
at Arlington House in 184S, Mrs.
*-> '
j Custis, when ready to read the
1 Scriptures, stepped to a room near
hy and led out a very aged colored
woman, not of quite pure African
blood, who was much afflicted with
rheumatism. Mrs. Custis helped her
to kneel by her side during prayer,
and then assisted her to rise and returned
to her room. After the
door was closed 1 made inmiiriou
? ""1? ?
concerning the old woman.
"She is the last survivor of tho
bondservants of tho Washington
family at Mount Vernon," Mrs.
Custis remarkod. "I do not know
her age precisely, but 1 think she
must be nearly ninety years old.
Sho remembers the hunting-parties
at Mount Vernon before the Revolution.
Sho was'such a good caretaker
of children that sho becamo tho
nurse of Mr. Custis and bib sisters in
thoir infancy. On tho death of Mrs.

"Is she intelligent, and is her

"She is remarkably int dligont,1

earlier years seems perfectly clear."
"Would it he agreeable for mo to

inquired.
"Perfectly so," responded Mrs.,
Custis. "Sho is a little deaf, but;
you can easily mak her understand

Mrs. ('ustis went to her room, and,
soon returning, said, "You can see her !

her it was easily to converse. I lor t
dialect was that of tho colored poo,

tempt to imitate in this record. I
i made many inquiries of her touching
, the daily life oi her master and mi
; tres;. and rovceivod satisfactory answers.
I asked her if she remembered
t)io young Martha Custis?the
i dark lady who di 1 beforb she was \
seventeen years of igo.
Ulu course I do," she answered.
1 "1 was a smart gal, almost as old as
j sho was. Oh, she was so pnrty and
I so good! It seemed as if tho Lord
wanted her, sure, and thought sho
was too good to stay in this wicked
world. I lor dying made [master and
mistress almost sick and very sorry a
I long time, they loved her so; and
poor master Jack, Iter brother, took
it so hard we thought he'd go cra/.y.
Hut somehow he soon got ovor it.
I'speots it was 'cause ho got in love
with Miss Nolly Calvort, and mar,
ried hor soon afterwards. She was so
party, too! l'hoy lived at Abingdon,
not far from Mount Vernon,
most of tIk,* time after t)io war was
begun; and I lived with them front
the time when their first baby was
born until Master Jack joined master
to go and fight Cornwallis. Then
ho left young mistress and Iter four
children at Mount Vernon."
"Master Jack, as you call him,
never canto back alive," I said.
"Oh, he did not!" she exclaimed.
"It was drofTul, drolTule! Ho was
so good, and every hody loved him
so. Oh, it was drofTul! I was
huildiuir a fire in mistross' room one
O
frosty morning, just at daylight,"
she continued, "when there was a
loud knock at the west door. 1 ran
opened it, and there stood a soldier
holding the bridle of his very sweaty
horse, who handed me a lettor, and
said, 'Toll your mistress that Corn i
wallis is whipped and a prisoner.' 1.'
ran and told her. She was very
happy and thanked the good Lord.!
j Then she sent mo to toll the stablehoy
to take care of the soldier's
horse and tell the soldior to stay to
breakfast. When I came back mistress
was just dressed. She went to
Master Jack's room to toll the good
news to his wife. When sho came
back she opened the loiter. It was
from master, and told her that Mas!
ter Jack was very sick at the house
of ilia uncle, Colonel Bassett, at
Elthan, in Kent, and might not got
well. Oh, how troubled the poor
: women wore! '1 he coachman was
I ordered to make the biff carriaffO
? r>
and best horses ready as quickly us j
possiblo, and as soon as we had
breakfasted the two women, the two
youngor children and mo to tako
caro of them, started for 101 thorn.
We traveled all day and a greater
part of the night as fast as wo could,1
stopping only to food the horses.
Wo found Mnstor.f(j^k dying with
the camp fever, so Dr. Craik told
us.
"Master came at daybreak, lie

he came Master Jack died. Then

who was then neai ly three years
old, who was a baby, lived at Mount
Vernon until master himself died.
George?Mr. Custis -lived there
until mistress died, more than two
years afterwards."
"Were you in the room when your
mastor died?" I asked.
411 was there a few minutes before.
I came up to tho room it was an
upper chamber -with something. I
remember seeing Christopher (who
had taken tho place of old Hilly as
master's body-servant) and his wife
Charlotte, ami Mollv the sormstross.
standing at tho end of tlio room,
looking much troubled. A few
minutes afterwards, Molly came
down and t< Id mo master was dead."
"*uAnd you woro with your mistress
when slio died?'
t4Oh, you," sh3 answered; 44.di tho
time, fo.r I was to ner what Christopher
was to mas.or. She died ot

her*room a largo bunch of floweis
from tho fields, for it vvu., a warm
day in May. i remember how sweet ly
she smiled. Tho fever had left
her . ntl slit was vtgy pale and so
weak Juli she could hardly whi w.
Oh, slio was so good! She appeared
to 1110 like an nngol lying there. A
dusk that night she was an angel, for
she had gone to heaven."
A few weeks after my visit at Arlington
House, in the spring of 18511,
Mrs (.'ust's departed from earth, and
iu tho fall of 1857 her husband followed
her. The spirit of the last
relic of the bondservants of the boloved
patriot departed in tho summer
of 1855.

acknowledging thy purity and truth.

See if you can do that much for a
follow. I'd just like to know what
you women think you're good for,
anyhow.
