WEHTS are few more charming epote than de lightful old Mount Vernon, with Its silent tomb. Its quaint mansion and its undulat ing acres on the banks of the broad Potomac. But it ?r?a not to this mansion as it now, ?eta n tin that George Washington ? "brought >the admirable woman whom lie married. Then the mansion was i bat two stories in height, with '<>ur rooms -on each floor. Washington, ? who was fonfi .of visiting here, in herited this place from his step > brother, Lawrence Washington. . Now approaching 'Visitors are told when >they set foot' within the limit ? of the flOOO acrea which were owned b^ '.George Washington, ?who himself ' described this estate as ~ln a high, Healthy country, in a latitude between * ? ? the extremes of heat and cold, on one of the finest rfvers in the world ? 'a river well stocked with various fish at all seasons of the year, and in -the spring with shad, herring, 'bass, carp, sturgeon, etc., in abundance. The borders of the estate are washed by more than ten miles of .tidewater; aeveral valuable fisheries appertain to It." When at length Washington bad , taken a "final, affecting and affectlon *"? ate leave of. his officers, " other for malities being over, he prepared to aettle down to delightful domesticity ( at ItaVhDt .^Vernen," '.he found that qulettt(16 Wis mot frtr him.

There's the ball through the centre, with a splen did staircase. Opening out of it at the north are the west parlor and the music room. Beyond thera is the atate dining room, running the length ?if the north end Atf the house, and quite corresponding to the east room at the White House In Washington, D. C. From the south of the hull open the charming dining room (a west room) and the sitting room. l?lko the music room, it looks out upon the river. Beyond throe, at the extreme south, is Washington's li brary (though some authorities say be had none and cared little for books J. By a private stairway he could go up to hty bed chamber above, a fine room, with two south windows and two dressing rooms. After the custom, this room was closed upon his death, and his widow removed to the attic room directly above, and from the dormer window ?f which she could see his tomb. And there she died. Pitrved nrmind irom the mansion ?way from the river aro graceful col oiiuudes, paved ami roofed, which connect it with the officcs at the north and the great kitchen at the south. The gardener's domain and tho but ler's are still beyond. Peculiarly enough, the kitchen re minds one of Lafayette. Te begin at the beginning, Lafayette sent Wash ington a pack of French stag hounds, thinking in times of peaco he would return to the pleasure of the chase. Vulcan was one of the most nggros slve of these animals, and distin guished himself by seizing a tempt ing ham which had been done to a turn In the great flrepjaco, and, In spite of tho attack of tongs and pokers, bearing It off to his kennel. The General and fho guests thought It amusing, but Martha Washington did not feel safe In her capacity as hostess until the hounds had been Mrs lawrknce lbwis (elean!

Mrs. Washington had a passion for gardenlng'and Indulged In it not only at beautiful Mount Vernon, but even at such times as she Joined her hus band at his summer headquarters of the army, notably at Newburgh. To this day her favorite rose, among other plants, is propagated, and vis itors to this Fairfax County paradise may carry away, for a consideration, a Martha Washington rose bush. After Washington's death Martha Washington said: ~ 'Tis well fill i? now over; I have no more trials to go through." So the great law of compensation works through every thirig. She would have been glad enough to creep back to her White House plantation, after which the President's house' was named, if she could have found John and Patsy avalu4 lar Mriai attar ?Mi flap la her hMlaira adraaaia ttwH tta belghta vkm tba laaral Imtm tMl U the asallght.

A low co?'. c bow from the waist was his excellency's greatest mark of favor. 4 In thinking of tba couple? aad bow few of us know them aa more than shadowy namas ? we are apt In fancy to mold them Into cold aad austere beings; but they were not so. No msn of the Revolution contracted firmer friendships than Washington did. and as for his Martha, her natur ally warm heart was always going out to some one in secret. To that motherless young officer Alexander Hamilton she became so devoted that the Tory scribblers designated him as her "yellow tom-cat," and take, for instance, their mutual affection for the little son of Tobias Lehr. II has been frequently asserted' that they bsd no liking for children, but old letters* and papers prove that Washington either educated or adopt ed nine of the offspring of his kith and kin. Perhaps in his whole career there is nothing more touching than the picture drawn of him by Dumas on the evening of their visit to the town of Providence: "We arrived there at night; the whole of the population had as sembled from the suburbs; we were surrounded by a crowd of children carrying torches, reiterating the ac clamations of the citizens; all were eager to approach the person of him whom they called their father, and pressed so closely around us that they hindered us from proceeding. Gen eral Washington was very much affected, stopped a few moments, and pressing my hand, said: 'We may be beaten by the English ? it Is the chance of war ? but behold an army which they can never conquer!' " And as for Martha Washington, she will always stand first as a wife and mother, although her ncme is high on the list of notable American women. Very few of her letters are extant, and very few of her speeches have been recorded. Although she followed her handsome Virginia col onel up the most difficult slopes, she dohn and Pdtsy Custl3,th< littl# son and dougntcr of Mortha Vtoshinfiton, on whom the Pres. ident lavished his orcat love for children. Custls, tho girl and boy she loved, waiting for her there. To Jncky, Washington Kent the letter informing his family that ho had aceepted the charge of the Col- | onial forces, lie feared the effect of j the news upon his wife. She, he , knew, realized the task he was under taking, but her ardent patriotism con quered her fears. "My heart id in tho cause, " she wrote to a friend. "George is right. He ia always right." She may have been terrorized by those booming guns at Cumbrldge, coming as she did from fifteen years' sweet seclusion at Mount Vernon, but under tho guidance of his bravo spirit she learned to look?all hardships In the face ? even death Itself grew '-? have no terrors for her. And so. wo find hor In his shadow through rrtl the war, always faithful, always loving. Organizing his households and don ning linsey-woolsey for her house wifely duties, as she did to the dismay of the ladles of Morrlstown. She planted and trimmed chance gardens, made queue bags for her husband's young officers, and tended tho sick atid weary; and sometimes she could put aside her own thoughts, light tho candles and dance a minuet with the best of them. Anyono who has seen a pair of her tiny brocadod slippers realizes that she could not have boon human .\nd kept them hidden! In a certain old Virginia family, where traditions have been garnered and kept as fragrant as tho rose leaves In the bowls of eighteenth century Watorford glass that adorn the low chlmney-plcce^ In tho time toned drawing rooms, Mrs. Washing ton is a vital memory. It Is related that friend* followed her rise on thn arm d f Washington with rounded and expectant eyes. Would she change for them and play ho great lady on b^r rummer visits to ^lount Vernon? Thoy had known her/a simple South ern housewife In the humblest of caps ? a mob, crocking her sugar-loaf, directing the making of currant jell or mulberry win?, and they ogerly i sometimes rebelled at being what sho called "a prisoner of state." The great Joy of her declining years was hr>r grandchildren. ' Eleanor Parke Custls and George Washington Parko Custls were pract ically brought up by her. Perhaps she shut her eyes some times and pretended that they were little Patsy and Jacky. Wo find Washington writing to the boy as "your papa." He, too, was shutting his eyes and dreaming of a Joy missed. After all the storm and stress wo picture him In the homo he loved best of everything In his life.
