NGUAIMASCAD) sacar secess caseves-a0scessslosccte severe NO, 10,266; ———— GEORGE WASHINGTON. The life of so many-sided a man as Washingtan furnishes all varie- ties of texts for anniversary orators. Texts for war and peace, for com- merce and industry, for moral re- proof, for every contingency which arises, Perhaps as appropriate a text as could be desired for to-day is to be found in a letter written by Washington to Hamilton in which he said that of all possible distinc- tions he valued highest “that most enviable of titles, an honest man.” This was the opinion, confirmed by years of experience, of the man fwho as a boy had learned the moral precept, “Labor to keep alive in heart that little spark of divine fire called conscience.” In the year it has passed since last Washington's Birthday the significance and im- Portance of this sentiment have been sufficiently emphasized. } * * s ‘As Washington recedes further into the perspective of time his human side shows out more prominently. He was a man who thought nothing of manly interest foreign to iim. He loved horses and hounds and fox-hunting. He excelled in ath- letic sports and trials of strength. He was fond of the pleasures of life, and not least the pleasures of the table; yet when the General Court or- Wained a day of fasting and prayer for the Port Bill he observed it tig- brously, He danced and played cards. He drank and no doubt swore, as gentlemen of his day did. His passions were strong and his temper vio- flent. He was dignified, grave, courteous, gentle. He was fastidious with regard to clothes. He was hospitable to prodigality. It was said that though there were a hundred cows at Mount Vernon they did not suffice fo keep his guests in butter. Yet as a manager he was diligent and thrifty, and he made his es- fate a model of its kind. As a type of the thoroughgoing gentleman, a man in the best sense of the word, and one who, as Artemus Ward said, "never slopped over,” he was by all odds the most interesting that Ameri- tan public life has produced. ' « * * One State and some sixty-odd. counties, cities, towns, rivers, lakes tnd water-courses perpetuate Washington's name on the map. All the ‘Caesars and Napoleons who carved up Europe left no such reminders of oo transitory greatness, Alexander, after twenty centuries, left nothing it. As a city-maker the capital which bears his name remains as his Monument. It was his project and he was its founder. Had he any Idea of the country’s future development into metropolitan districts? Did fhe foresee even vaguely a time of city dominance in national affairs uch as is now threatened ? The possibility of a community within a ten-mile radius of New Work’s City Hall greater than the entire population of the young Republic was then undreamed of. If the infant nation could have received from Washington and his counsellors some Provision for its physical growth, if some part of the consideration bestowed on its political future could have been given to the establishment of safeguards for the restraint of menacing movements of population, would not the restriction have been There has arisen a need for barriers to Preserve the balance of etween city and country which the Fathers of the Republic faa ha TELL A LIE! | DoNot CARE FOR CHERRY- Pointed Paragraphs.
