BSSBTOXI.S, Claek Coutt, Ta., )
May 16. ,
I HAVE loved thee
lone and dearly,
Florence Vane;
My life'i bright
dream and early
Hath come again.
For in truth he
lored her as none
have everloved be
fore or since. And
it was a great deal
for this sturdy
man, of the cava
black horse, went
dressed in black, with a dark knightly face
and a black hat It was a great deal for
him to say who seldom said much. "When
Philip Pendleton Cooke was a little dreamy
boy sporting about the "Vineyard," he
loved the lovely Florence Vane with a love
that bode no good to him. But he was a
man grown now. Let it be understood that
he truly loved her; lor they say it was the
rapt picture of a sad ecstacy him on that
June afternoon writing:
I renew in my fond vision
My heart's dear pain;
My hope and thy derision.
Florence Vane.
This was the trouble, for he could not for
get that fond vision or its pain. It is said
that he sat musing, wasting, dreaming day
alter day, morbidly romantic, sensitive,
married to a lovely woman, yet unhappy as
ever man was, as ever poet was, endowed
with the love of loves and cursed with the
hate of hates. A picture there i sft the minds
of the old folks in the neighborhood of
Charlestown of this dark, beautiful man sit
ting in the night watching the stars go
down, muttering faintly, brokenly, yet in
cessantly, "Derision," "Derision." Another
one there is of bis treading briskly up and
down through the gloaming, cloaked in
black, and telling the devil it was all his
fault that the beautilul Florence Vane
loved him not. Tiiis was in the ruin ot old
St. George's Chapel, and it was that referred
to in the lines.
mi
name of her who was "Florence Vane."
Pardon me If I do not tell it. In the seclu
sioinof the same place is all that is earthly
of Philip Pendleton Cooke and of his brother,
the novelist, John Fsten Cooke.
The place is full, too, of names of people
Page, Burwell, Carter, Lee, Braxton,
Byrd, Kelson who have lent lustre to the
American name.
The lilies of the valley
Br voune craves ween?
The pansies lore to dally
Where maidens sleep.
And so they seem to do in the Old Chapel
burying-ground. This is an historio place
and dates back beyond the Revolution 30
years. The visitor is amply repaid and
the poet's wish about the flowers: '
May their bloom and beauty vying
Never wane
Where thy earthr part is lying,
Florence Vane.
has been most graciously granted.
In the vicinity of Charlestown is much to
draw the attention of those interested in re
minders or tne past. There lived at the end
ofa pleasant jaunt three disgraced Revolu
tionary Generals Lee, Stephens and Gates.
General Lee lived in a cabin of three rooms,
witb his docs in one room and his slaves in
another. When he went calling on thegen
try of the neighborhood, he would take his
docs, and unless the dogs were received with
tbe same hospitality tendered him, he would
go away angry.
It is said that on one occasion when Gen
eral 'Washington was in the neighborhood,
he thought he would try to regain the
friendship of General Lee, which he had
lost after the battle of Monmonth. When
he arrived at Lee's bouse it was deserted,
and be found this notice posted on the door:
".No bread or bacon cooked here this day."
These Generals were in the habit-of meet
ing at General Lee's house, and on one occa
sion he addressed them as follows: "This
county can boast as citizens three noted
Major Generals of the Revolutionary War.
each of whom was ignominionslr cashiered.
You. Stephens, for getting drnnk when you
should have been sober; you, Gates, for ad
vancing when you should have been re
treating, and your humble servant for re
treating when he should have been advanc
ing." Here also lived General D. H. Strother,
"Porte Crayon," and here now lives his
widow. Hiss-Evaks.

Where thou didst mart my story.
At even told.
Only the walls of it remain to-day. Then
ruin, it is now a wreck. When the moon
lays upon it they say it is bewitched. There
lives in Charlestown now an old negress
with haggard, ghonlish eyes, who tells some
queer tales ot St. George's. Among others
is the story of the poet-lover seen wringing
his hands and crying over the shadowy nile,
early, very early in the evening, and
whether there be moon or no, whether the
stars are out or the black night beetles, a
very black brow seen crying, wringing his
hands and calhng Flotence! Florence!
There he gops, they sav, a long and lumin
ous figure, once in the year on a certain
night, and in the harvest time. How sin
gular, indeed, the contrast of that with sad
rapture of the living words:
That spot the hnes Elysian
Of fcky and plain
I treasure in ray vision,
Florence Vane.
On the walls of a room in a cottage on the
stircs 01 inariesiown nangs a tinv picture.
A Daguerreotype taken in those days could
not be expected to be beautiful, vet this one
is. It is of the lovely Florence Vane. The
cottage is the home ot a lady a writer
relative of the poet; and here, too, strangest
of all things, is a grandchild of the poet and
the very image of the lost love of long ago.
For one to see either of these pair of eyes,
tbe living or the dead upon the wall, it is
not a difficult thing to understand the
writing of the words:
Thou wastloreller than tbe roses
In their prime;
Thy voice excelled the closes
Of sweetest rhyme.
We have endeavored to reproduce the
picture, but it is a faint imitation, and not
fair. There is a depth in the eyes of this
beautiful face which cannot be hastily
copied. In Italy once at Modena there was
an artist who strove winter in and out, and
in vain, to catch the depth of meaning in tbe
eyes of this fair Virginia girL For even the
poet revealed his inability to put it in words
when he broke out :
Ihy heart is as a river
Without main
Would I had loved thee never,
Florence Vane.
In th's fair region there are many fair
girls. There is yet an air of the Old World
social over everything and every one. Beau
tilul girls that look like pictures stepped
from canvas of the olden time meet you on
every hand. But over all things earthy
there comes a change, and the change is just
now being felt: Only the memory of him
who wrote it is left, only this dim Daguerreo
type of her. "Harewood House" yonder
where he visited as a boy and went into
dreaming over the memories of the Wash
ington, of Lafayette, who was frequently a
guest there; of James Madison, who was
married there; of Louis Phillippe and his
two ducal brothers often entertained. Only
these relics of his days remain.
But fairest, coldest wonder.
Thy glorious clay
Lleth the green sod under
Alas tne day.
She was dead. And there was a mighty
mourner over her grave for many years in
the person of Philip Pendleton Cooke. Like
Poe, with him the croaking of those old
years would be hushed in the nevermore.
He would lie all night and sob with his face
in the grass over her grave. He could not
forget He would not forget. And yet in
the next sane moment exclaim:
But it boots not to remember
Thy disdain
To q aicken love's pale ember, "
Florence Vane.
Thus, from love to regret, and regret to
remorse, be lived. It was all a dirge. Said
a lady, a Parisian, once while visiting his
grave: "Do yon believe that Mr. Coofce
could have been guilty ot so much romanti
cism." But that question is not yet an
swered. One morning not many dlys ago I crept
into the shadows of a deep thicket in a se
cluded burying-ground, and stood for some
time beside a little narrow depression in the
ground, and thought how this strange man
used to go there and cry, for it was the grave
of Florence Vane. I have somewhere a
harebell which grew out of tbe top of that
grave. The place is tbe Old Chapel bury-ing-gronnd,
the nearest town is Berryville.

Wrong KIshted.
A false impression rests with many peo
ple as to what the JEoliarr is. No one who
has not seeu the latest production of the
iEolian Company can possibly have any
idea or its true merits. It is not a music
machine, producing music mechanically,
but an instrument upon which some prac
tice is required, but so little that one can
plav it well with a few weeks' practice, ac
cording to the person's aptness and musical
talent Such compositions as those of
Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Mendel
ssohn, Schubert, Bubenstein, etc., can
be rendered after a person's own concep
tion and interpretation, giving dynamic
effects, nuances and changes of tempo.
The tone is peculiarly beautiful, neither
like the piano nor organ, but resembles
more than anything else a small orchestra
with its various parts. This instrument

The familiar three golden balls which
dangle over the portals of the pawnbroker
have a history bound
up with that of the
most famous parvenu
family the world ever
saw.
Somewhere about
the beginning of the
twelfth century there
dwelt in Florence a
-drnu of Dei Medici, quark doctor,"who by
his skill in cures acquired a great reputa
tion ana a considerable fortune. He be
queathed his business to his children, who
practiced medicine with much success.
They were surnamed "Dei Medici" from
their profession. In 1268 the head of the
family Giovanni dei Medici was a Floren
tine citizen of such prominence, that be was
raised from the bourgeois class, made a gen
tleman, and granted a coat of arms. These
arms were six red pills on a golden ground.
The heralds of those days were trustworthy
persons, and when they granted arms at all
to parvenus they granted appropriate ones.
How wonld Mr. Porker, of Cincinnati, like
a pig rampant for a crest? Truthful heraldry
would scarcely work nowadays.
Anyway the Medici were satisfied with
their six pills and s allowed the dose man
fully. Bight famons they made those pills
before the world. From being strnggling
quacks, they became millionaire Dukes of
Florence, Grandukes of Tuscany and
virtual Sovereigns of Italy. They are inter
married witb tbe royal houses of France,
Austria and Spain, and they gave two
Popes and eight Cardinals to the Church.
DIVIDING THE COAT OF ASMS.
The merchants of Lombardv annlied to
the Medici for a coat of arms to distinguish
their guild. As a token of regard they were
granted three of the six Medici pills, but
their arms were "differenced." The pills
became golden, while the ground was
"gules," or red. Thus the coat appeared
like as shown in the illustration.
It was considered a great honor in those
days when a sover
eign granted, a por
tion of his arms to a
subject

sixteenth century

fare, still called "Lombard street" after
them. Thir principal business was an ex
tended form of pawnbroking; and they
were very particular about hanging their
coat of arms for a sign, over the entrances
to their warehouses. Indeed all the London
trades of those days had distinctive signs;
the glovers sporting a golden kid; the tan
ners, three oxen, etc
The Lombards brought pawnbroking into
England, but the English are the greatest
imitators among all the nations. The busi
ness spread rapidly, and soon the three
golden pills were to be seen in all the
provincial townr, with eood Saxon names
written under them. The Lombards grad
ually lost prominence. Some became
wealthy, purchased estates and founded
county families, whose names stand high in
England's 'squirearchy today. Others re
turned to sunuy Lombardy.
THES; GATE US A "WOED.
Before they went, however, they added a
word to the English language. "Lumber
room" was originally "lombard room," and
"lumber" was derived from the miscella
neous array of old furniture, books, pictures,
etc., with which the old Lombard street
pawnbroking rooms were filled.
When the Lombards departed the Pawn
brokers' Guild inherited their coat-of-arms.
As years wore on ignorance of heraldry oc
casioned the omission of the shield, and the
three golden pills were suspended without
any ground of gules outside the houses of
the world's vernacular relative. And so
they remain to this day; appropriately bit
ter pills to many a poor wight, whom adver
sity leads beneath their shelter. They may
serve to point a moral of tbe decadence of
terrestrial greatness, once part of the re
splendent armorial bearings of tbe almost
royal Dei Medici, now the distinguishing
sign of a pawnshop. Great indeed has been
their fall! Bbenan.
