I accepted his cordial invitation to spend a few days at Arlington House, where 1 had been a guest 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 und Georgetown, with the broad Potomac flowing between. The building is of brick, and presents a front, including the two wings, of one hunIrod and forty feet. The grand per ;ioo, Having eight massive Doric columns, occupies an area of sixty feet Front and twonty-fivo feet in depth. \ park of two hundred acres, dotted with proves of oak and chestnut trees, uid cultivated on the river hank, doped eastward from tho front; and >e!und the mansion was an old forest abounding with patriarchal trees centuries old, and covering hills and lales over eight hundred acres. A portion of this forest has sinco disippeared, and tho soil is occupied by ho remains of thousands of Union toldiers who perished in tho great Civil War of 1801-(55. On tho verge )f this cemotery stands a chasto mar n ^ ^ r n' 11SZ '^"OXTXe CO! JUNE 7, 1888. l>Io monument erected to the tnem. ory of Mr. ('ustis. Near the northi em end of the mansion stood a von* orablo weeping*willow, the offspring | of twig plucked by a young. Mritish officer from the famous willow planted bv Pope at Twickenham, and presented to the father of Mr. t'ustis by that officer at Cambridge in 1775. That twig, which the elder Custis > . " planted at Arlington, booanft) the progenitor of all the weeping-willows in the 1 nited States. 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 J of a Virginia colonel at tin; age of 1 forty years, painted by Charles Watson PorIo.

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.

"She is remarkably int dligont,1 | and her memory of events in her earlier years seems perfectly clear." "Would it he agreeable for mo to I n . I have some conversation with her?" I inquired. "Perfectly so," responded Mrs., Custis. "Sho is a little deaf, but; you can easily mak her understand you."

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!

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.

"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 lover.

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. Ijkn.son J. Lo.-sixa, Id..I). Woman /\ i< voiui a:i(i at iioinc.

There is nothing so beautiful, so glorious, so true, so perfect, as a woman! 1 reverence and how down before thee!" And whon he went homo ho said to the woman who was so unfortunate as to 1)0 his wife: ?,"What did you let the Lliro got so low for? You knew I'd como home half froze.

An inquiry iu regard to the mean1 ing of the "Mi/pah" has been made. u Mi/pah" refers to a beacon or watchtower, and was the name given by l?ahan to the heap of stones > raised by him and Jacob before their final parting. Its meaning is: "My (Jod is between thee and me." ? K)on't lavish when you see a woman trying to drive a horse. It may seem funny to you, but think how the poor horse must suffer.
