with thousands of uiy fellow-cltlzcns,pelted
with sharp sleet driyen by a keen north-

the fourteenth president of the United
States. I had no "friends at court" to se

spacious portico of the Capitol, where the
great officers of State, of the Judiciary, of

plain suit of black cloth. A small mahog
any table coyered with a red cloth, of the
value of five dollars, and bearing a bible, a
brown stone pitcher full of cold water, and
a tenpenny tumbler, constituted the entire
paraphernalia. With his head bared to the
pelting storm, and his right hand lifted to

to the eye of the true philosopher and hope'

tho grace of bayonets and gunpowder have
appeared upon that rough platform of New
Hampshire pine, with all his gaudy trap-

Franklin Pierce, the chosen servant of
Stato of a mighty people, who stood there
in all the dignity of a true sovereign, but
undistinguished in form and bearing Irom
the humble citizen, oy ribbon or cross, by
star or garter, by scepter or crown.
Among those who sat under the shelter
of the grand portico of the Capitol on that
occasion was George irashlngton Parke
Curtis, the. adopted son of the "Father of
his Country," the first president of the na
tion, and the only survivor of tho execn
tors of the great patriot's will. He was
nrcsent when his foster-father took the
oath of otlice administered by Chancellor
Livingston, in the street gallery of the old
CltlUM at Now york sixty-four years
before. He had witnessed tho lnaue.ura

to Pierce. Unmindful of the wind and
sleet, he had crossed the Potomac from

Arlington House was plethoric with vr
clous mementoes of tho Washington and
Custls families, consisting of some rare
works of art, plate, chlua, furniture, orna

manuscripts. On the wall hungfi Klt-Kat

the ancestor of Mr. Custis, who carried to
Queen Anne the news of Marlborough s
victory at Blenheim, It was painted by
Sir Uodfrey Knellar. Near it hung a pic

Dvko. Tliero also were tho three-quarter
length portraits of Daniel Parko and Mar-

other portraits of tho Washington nnd Cus-

On my first visit at Arlington House, in
In 1848, 1 saw a living relic of the H'ash-
ington family more interesting than all tho
rest. Mrs, Custls, nec Fltzhugh, a charm-
Ing woman, Christlikc in character and
disposition, and saintllko in her works of
benevolence nnd perennial goodness, then
presided over the household at Arlington.
She was like a mother and a guardian angel
in her care, for the physical nnd spiritual
comfort of their slaves, and was a blessing
to tho poor far and near. Sho was a most
gentle creature slight In frame, sweet in
the expression of her face; her voice was
soft and musical, and she retained much
of her early. personal beauty. Her piety
was fervid but unostentatious, and her
presence was like sunlight In a room. She
conducted family worship morning and
evening, while her husband, Standing, in-
voked a blessing at every meal. I
On tho morning after my arrival at Ar-
llngton House In 1848, -Ifrs. Custls, when
ready to read tho Scriptures, Stepped to a
room near by and lead out a very aged col-
ored woman, not of quite puro African
blood, who was much- afflicted with rheu- l
matlsm. Mrs. Custls helped her lo kneel
by her sldo during prayer, and then assisted
her to rise and return to her rnnnr. After

In their infancy. On tho death of 'Jrs.
Washington she remained at Mount Ver-
non in the family of Judgo IKashlngtou,
who Inherited tho estate, until we were!
married, in 1804, when at her earnest re
quest she came to live with us and became
the uurse of our four daughters, only one
of whom (May, the wife-of Colonel Lee)
grew to womanhood. Eleanor, who lives
with me, "vas. May's nurse or care-taker

much resemble each other.
"Is she Intelligent, and Is her memory
trustworthy?" I Inquired.
"She is remarkably intelligent, and her
memory of events in her earlier years seems
perfectly clear."
"Would it be agreeable for me to have
some conversation with her?" I Inquired
"Perfectly so," responded Mrs. Custls,
She is a little deaf, but you can easily
make her understand vou."
Mr. Custis went to her room, nnd coon
returning, said, "Vou can seo her an hour
after breakfast."
I found Die aged woman sitting in an
arm-chair knitting stockings, her. room In
perlcct order. Seated near her it was easy
to conyerse. Her dialect was that of the
colored people in general, which I shall
not attemptthis to Imitate In record. I
made many Inquiries of her touching the
dally life of her master and mistress and
rcceiVed satisfactory answers. I asked her
If she remembered the young Martha Cus-
tls the dark lady who died before she
was seventeen years of age.
"in course I uo," she answered. 'twas
a smart gal, almost as old as sho was. Oh,
she was so purty and so good. It seemed

"Master Jack, as you call him, never

"Oh, he did not!" she exclaimed. "It

evcrvbodv loved him so. Oh. it was so
druffnl! I was building a tire in mistress'
room one frosty morning, just at daylight,"
she continued, "when there was a loud

sent me to tell the stable boy to take caie

stay to breakfast. When 1 came back mis
tress was lust dressed. She went to Mas -er
Jack's room to tell tha good news to his
(wlfe. When she came back ehe opened
the letter. It was from master, and told
her that Jastet Jack was very sick at the
house of his uncle, Colonel Iiassctt, at Kl-
tham, lr Kent, and might hot get well. Oh,
how tronbled the poor women were. The
coachman was ordered to make the bis
carrIao and best horses ready as quickly
as possibly, and as soon as we had break-
fasted tho two women, the younger child
rcn and mo to take caic of them, started
for Elthaiu. Wo traveled all day nnd a
greater part of the night ns fast as we
could, stopping only to feed the horses.
wo found minster Jack, dying witli camp
fever, so Dr. Cralk told us.
"Master came nt daybreak. He rode all
were alone In a room fora whllo.nnd young
mlsticss nud I nnd the children were lu an-
other room. Ily ami by master and mis
tress came in. He look jonng mlstross'
hand and said many kind words to comfort
her. Slio was crying and sobbing as If her
heart would break. JUIstrcss told mo after-
wards that lie said to the poor mothcr,that
he would take the two children that were
there, Nelly and George, and bring them
up as his own. And he did. Nelly, who
was then nearly three years old, and
George, who was the baby, lived at Mount
Vernon until master himself died. George
Mr, Custls lived there until mistress
died, more than two years afterwards."
" H'ere you In the room when your mast'
cr died?" I asked.
"I was thcro a few minutes before. I
came up to the room It was an upper
chamber with something. I remember
seeing Christopher (who had taken the
place of old Billy as master's body servant)
and his wlfo Charlotte, and Molly the,
seamstress, standing nt ono end of the
room, looking much troubled. A few
minutes afterwards Molly came down and
told,me master was deaii."
"And you were with your mistress when
sho died?"
"Oh, yes," she answered; "all the time,
for I was to her what Christopher was to
master. She died of fever. That morning
I brought into her room a largo bunch ot
flowers from tho fields, for It was a warm
day In Jny. I remember how sweetly she
smiled. The fever had left her aud she
was very pale and so weak that sho could
hardly speak in a whisper. Oh, she was so
good! She appeared to me like an angel
lying there. At dusk that night she was
an angel, for she had gone to heaven."
A few weeks after my visit at Arlington
nouse, in the spring of 1853, Mrs. Custls
departed from earth, and In tho fall ol 1857
ber husband followed her. The spirit of
tho last relic of the bondservants of the be-
loved patriot departed in the' summer ot
