WALKl Q HOME WITH MARY.
In all tha changing scenes of tlfe
Bi enes that so widely varv
I've never sicnt a happier hour
Than walking homo with Mary.
How often as a boy, when life
Was youbg, andglad and hearty,
lly starlight I have seen her home
From sliigliig-school or party.
Wo knew not then how good they were,
Tho hours we passed together,
As hand In hand, with lightsome heart,
We strolled across the heather.
Th iiigh since tluso days from Mary's side
To uUtaut lands I've wandered,
The tune I've spent away from her
To me seems vainly squandered.
Last night once more I saw iicr home;
Tho stars were blinking blindly
Through rilted clouds, but Into mine
Her eyes were beaming kindly.
We talked ot all the happy past,
OI pleasures long departed,
And tKjtli coufess.:d that olt sluco then
We had been heavy-heaited.
And ere we reached her father's home
I told her how 1 missed her.
And while we lingered ut the gato
1 stooped and loudly kissed her.
Before e parted, 'twas agreed
Our paths no mure should vary;
No mure afar Iiomi hrr I'll loam
I'm goiug to marry M.uy.

trance gate tnj friend wjfl warmly greeted
by a courteous old gentleman, apparently
about blxiy-Bve years of age, who was in
troduced to me as Colonel itohert Carr, and
was Introduced to him as a citizen of
New York in quest of reminiscences ol
events of our long-past history from the
lips of survivors of actors in them.
"You bear tho whole name," I said, "of
the Irish baronet who was ono of tho com
missioners sent lo 'regulate New England'
and to assist lu snatching our province
from the Dutch two hundred years ago."
"Of tho same family stuck, probably, for
was horn In Ireland," he replied. "Come
in, gentleman, and be teated. It Is an
early hour, and wc shall have few inter-
uptlons."
He led the way to a small furnished
room, and there we spent about two hours
very profitably with the venerable gate
keeper of the Asylum, and the errand-boy
of Dr. Franklin, who was then oyer
eighty-three years of age, and whose
career lias been checkered b.. many vicissi
tudes. He was a stout-built, vigorous man,
possessed of sound health nnd remarkable
bouyaticy of spirits. He assured me that
lie bail not been sick In oyer sixty years.
"You say you werejtorn In Ireland. My
friend tells uie that four life has been quite
an eventful one?" I remarked.
Somewhat," he eald. "Hut It is now
well nigh over," he continued. "I try to
forget the miseries which are few, and to
remember the mercies which are many."
At my request he cave a brief sketch of
his life's history. He was brought to
Philadelphia from Ireland by bis parents
when ho war. six ytais of age. Ills father
was a school teacher and lived next door to
Dr. Franklin In due time young Carr
learned the art of printing with Mr. Dache,
Franklin's grandson, and soon rose to the
head of the profession lu Philadelphia. In
1804, when be was only twenty-six years
old, he was awarded the first prize of a so'
clety for the best specimens of printing on
exhibition. He was employed to print
Wilson's "Ornithology" from the raautii
script, also a reprint of "Itces's Cycloped
la.)' As a young member of the famous
Philadelphia military corps known as the
"ilcPherson Blues," he was one of the
firing squad on the occasion of the celebra
lion of WasbInstons funeral by Congress",
then In session at Philadelphia. Five of
his associates were living in that city at the
time of my visit, namely: Charles lirrck,
aged ninety; S. Palmer, aged eighty-one;
3. F. Smith, aged eighty-one; Charles N,
Danker, aged elgbiy-fire; Qulnton Camp
bell, aged elgbty-tlye. I saw three of the
live veterans at that time. .
'In 1812 Mr. Carr was commissioned
major of a Pennsylvania regiment of In
lantry, and rose ton lieutenant-colonel the
following year. Serving faithfully all
through the war of 1812-15, Colonel Carr
was honorably discharged at its close, fan
formany years he was the sole survivor do
the field officers of the Army ot 1812; In
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
He-marrled. a daughter of William Dart-
ram, the proprietor of the famous Dotanlc
Garden, near Philadelphia, and In right of
bis wife, after her father's death, be car
rled it on from 1603 until 1800, a period of
more than forty years. He served the
State as adjutant-general a few years, and
was for a long time an alderman and jus
tice of the peace in Philadelphia. In his
days of prosperity be was an active pro
moter of public enterprises. Deprived of
his property by the vicissitudes of fortune
In his old age, he accepted the position of
gate-keeper at tho institution whero we
found blm.
'Our friend tells me," I remarked, ",that
you were an errand boy for Dr. Franklin
for a while."
"Oh, yes," he replied, "I served him -as
tucb for the spice ot nearly two years. IKe
lived next door to Dr. Franklin, In Market
street, and he seemed to tbink much of
m; father, who was frequently in bis bouse
by invitation. I sometimes went there
with toy father, and Franklin treated me
very, kindly, having always a pleasant
word for toe. I tm abont ten years old

I think he wrote two or threo pamphlets
during tho last year of his life. I carried
his manuscripts to the printers, nnd aUo
the proof-sheets. Ills grandson, Denjatnln
Franklin Ilaclie. then just out of college,
who was much with his grandfather, assist

lor the Doctor, for his Httenilanfr. Mrs. Ilm-
sod), and for thu family. For two or three
weeks, I remember, Dr. Jones came sevcial
limes every day, and sometimes brought
Dr. Hush with him."
"Do you distinctly remember the person
al appearanco of Franklin?" 1 Inquired.
"Perfectly," he answered. "It made a
strong Impression on my young mind.
Whuu I first began to do errands for him
he was auite well went out frequently and
ecelyed much company. He was then n
strong built man, over seventy years of age,
about live feet nine Inches In stature, and
inclined to corpulency. His couiplexlom
was fair, though be was an old man; his
ejes ere gray and very bright when he
was engaged in conversation; Ills hair was
thin and long, but uot very gray, his uiouth
was uot large and had a decidedly sweet
expression. Franklin was polite and kind
to everybody, whether he was a servant or
a Senator, for ho was always a gentleman.
I remember when Washington called to rue
him, while on his way to New York to be
inauguraied President of the United States.
1'liey embraced like brothers. FruuUlin
had been suffering much pain that morn
lng, but was relieved at the time of the
President's call, when his maimer was
cheerful, almost plajful at times, for he
was rejoiced to see his friend. They never
met again on earth."
"You say you learned the printer's trade
in the establishment of Mr. liache, Frank
lin's grandson," I remarked.
"Yes, I was his apprentice from 1702 to
1707. After I had been with him a year,
finding me lather expert In detecting error
In proof-sheets, 1 was frequently employed
as assistant-proof reader and In carrying
the corrected sheds to the writers for his
paper, "The Advertiser." When the gov
ernment was removed to Philadelphia from
Nuw York, Washington was yery friendly
lo Mr. JJache, because ho was a t:car kins
man of Franklin, and occasionally wrott
something on public matters for "Tho Ad
vertiser." He also had olllclal papeit
primed at our office. I carried corrected
rroor-sheets to 1'reshlent Washington, anu
sometimes assisted him tn the reading nnd
making proper printer's marks for correc
tions, which he did not always understand.''
"So you were once an errand-boy for Dr.
Franklin nnd ll'ashlngton'a assistant proof
reader," I remarked.
"It Is even bo, and I am proud of the ser
vice," said the veteran with a brlghtitullr
of satisfaction, "Dttt Washlngton'sffi lend
ship for Ilaclie soon cooled," he continued.
Jefferson gained the control of Uache ami
his newspaper, politically, after Freneau
left the city. He was a violent political
enemy of Hainllloli, you know, and man
articles were published In Dache's papei
abusing the Secret aro of the Tieasury and
other leaders of the Federal parly, not even
snaring tho President. The name of the
"Aurora," the paper published most scan
dalous attacks upon Washington's admin
istration. I distinctly remember the great
excitement In Philadelphia caused by an
outrageous article in the "Aurora" against
irashlr.glou, a day or two after he retired
from the Presidency in the spring of 1707.
I well remember that the bntchers of Spring
Garden, who had been soldiers under Wash
Ington, wete so incensed that they marched
In a body to attack the "Aurora" oflice.
They threw its types Into the street and
nearly destroyed the inside of the rooms."
"Political excitement ran high at that
time, did it not?" I asked.
"Never more violent since," he replied.
"Why, for a while It separated families and
religious denominations In social Inter
course. The pulpits became political ros
trums. I remember that In May, 1708, on
a day of fasting and prayer, the ministers,
by their violent denunciations from the
pulpit, of 'Jacobins,' secret societies and
philosophers, almost created a riot. The
excitable population of Philadelphia were
specially incited to violence against the Re
publicans or Democrats who were thus de
nounced. Fearing violence, Uache, with
armed friends, so protected the "Aurora"
office that no damage was done. Mr. Uache
was personally assaulted on tho street, but
was not much Injured; but the same year
he fell a vletlm to the terrible scourge yel
low feyer. which smote the city fearfully."
'You mentioned Mr. Freneau, the poet
of the .Revolution. Did yon know him per
sonally?' I Inquired.
"Very well', though not Intimately," he
answeied, "for he left Philadelphia while
I was yet an apprentice sixteen or seven
teen years old. He was small in stature,
slightly built, but robust In appearance,
b.Yln followed the sea for many years,
He was of Kuguenot descent, and about
forty i ears old when I first taw him. His
eyes were dark and brilliant.; his hair was a
rich dark brown; his smue was exceeaing
ly captivating; bis voice was sweet; his
whole face beamed with intelligence, and
bis deportment indicated a true gentleman.
Mr. Jefftison first employed blm translate
lng clerk of tho State Department, but he
wae soon engaged In editing a newspaper
which was the organ of the Republican
party. It was more violent In Its attacks
upon Hamilton and Washington's puouc
policy than Bache'i paper tv&s afterward.
Long years subsequently Freneau acknow
ledged that man; of the most vlolen k
articles were written by Jefferson himself.
But Jefferson must not be blamed," said
Colonel Carr, 'for at that time he was
really a monomaniac on the subject ot ml;-
called'JFrench 'democracy.1 He had lately
com from France, and was thoroughly lm
bved with the spirit bf the radical French
revolutionists. Freneau, yon know, cele

the year 1800. He was then busy In mak
ing his ttanslatlon of thu Septuaglnt, or
Old Testament Scriptures, from the origin
al I? reek into Kugllsh. He also translated
the New Testament. I had the reputation
lieu of being the uiostcareful proof-read sr
In Philadelphia, and when Mr, Thomson
began lu have his great work put In type
he employed mo to read the last revised
proofs. The whole llible translated by Mr.
riiumson was published by the Illdow
Aitkin, In four volumes, hi 180S, at about
the tlmo when I left priming and "took
charge of the Uotanlc Harden."
H'liat was the personal appearance of
Mr. Thomson?'' I Inquired.
"He was past seventy years of age when I
first became acquainted with him. Ho was
rither tall, quite spare In flesh; his face
was very thin and much furrowed; his blue
eyes were truly sparkling, and his straight
white hair hung In graceful curls at the
ends below his ears. Ills whol appearance
was venerable; yet his form was erect, his
step clastic, and his voice was strong, clear
and musical. He lived, as you know, until
1824, when he was In the ninety-fifth year
of his age."
I gatbeied much more from tho lips of
the venerable printer and soldier during
our memorable interview that was exceed
ingly Intetesting. He was about to com
municate some of his reminiscences of the
war of 1812-15 when he was called away by
the arrival of visitors at the gale, and we
bade him farewell.
Colonel Catr remained very active almost
o the last. A month before my visit he
went among the Union camps, near Ailing-
ton Heights, Virginia, where he traveled
seventeen miles one day and attended a
heatet at IKashington City that evening,
I could have danced a cotillon after that,"
he said. In 18(13 he participated lu the cen-
ennlal celebration of the birth of William
Bradford, the first printer in Pennsylvania
and New York, held by the New York
Historical Society; and on the 22d of Feb
ruary, 1804, when ha was past eighty sir
years of age, he read Washington's Fare
well Address before the veterans of tha
war of 1812 al Philadelphia. He died on
the 15th of April, 1800.
