THE SHORTEST DEED ON RECORD.
Scribner for May containes a paper, of "Ilemi
niScences• of Washington," from unpublished
family records. Among the anecdotes of Wash
ington, there related is the following: -
In August, '1796, after a few delightful days
pent with their dietinguished relatives, Cap
, tam Lewis relates that the 'following Conver
sation took ,place at the break fast-table - the
morning fixed for their departure.
Washington was, as all the world knows, a
man of few ' words, and while he quietly par
took of his frugal meal the conversation flowed
cheerfully on between the other, members oU
the family present. Suddenly his nephew turn
ed laughing to him and said
"table, what do you think I dreamed liSt
night
The Generalrephed he could not guess, and
,asked to be told. Captain Lewis, continued .to ..
litugh merrily, replied
"Why, 'I dreamed you gave me your farm on
Deep Run."
"Humph !" ejaculated his uncle. "You ha d
.befter have dreamed. I gave you Mount -Vex . -
non.". - . •
No more was said on the subject, and Cap
tain Lewis had quite forgotten his ui3meaning
dre.am as he placed his wife in the carriage, and
bade his uncle and , aunt good bye. Washing
ton followed him to the carriage, and handed
him a folded paper, saying as he did so : "You
can look at that when you reach home." Cap
tain Lewis received the paper in astonishment,
but could makt, no reply, as the carriage now:
rolled swiftly away. Ile might have felt in duty
bound to suffer the pangs of curiosity until he
reached home, but his wife had no Such con
scientious scruplee ; she had not been forbidden
-to Open 'it, and' so she soon succeeded in gain
ing of the mysterious paper; and
Wive Mdunt Vernon was lost in the distance
she discovered the fact that they had left that
modest dwelling much richer than they were
when they entered it. Whether Washington
had intended to bestow the Deep Run farm in
his will upon this nephews and only haitened
the time of the gift, or whether, with the quiet.
himor in which he rarely indulged, he thus
proved the dream of which he had been told a:
practical reality, was never known. the deed.
is said to be the shortest on record, and is ss.
follows.:

SOCIAL LIFE IN WAShINGTON.
For married people socially disposed there is
no place in the country like Washington. The
absurd Puritanical and provincial notion
„in
grained in our American lite, that most social
diversions are proper only 'for young people
in the calf and colt stage o! ; existence, and
that when men and women are married they
should be tied fast together andlaid away on a
shelf, 'labeled with the. Scotch-thistle motto,
"nA site tangere," does not preVail here. At
soirees, receptions, 'sociables, "pound partieW
etc., married men herd in a:corner to talk busi
ness and politics. Bachelors do not have a
monopoly'of the pleasure of calling upon ladies..
nor
_do young ladies have the solo priVelege of
making themselves • agreeable to gentlemen.
The manners of the upper classes are in this
respect rather French than English. Here,
and noWwhere else in America, as far as I
knovi, can be found something approaching the
Ftench saloon. Every married lady of posi-,
tion has_ !her weekly rece. -day, when`her
parlors are filled with her fr' f both sexes,
who drop in fok a call or stay , for am hour's;
chat, Just as their humor or convenienace may
dictate. Lady callers naturally predominate, ,
.because gentlemen, as a rule,. - are'bniy during
the day; but there is a large clasi in Washing;
tun, composed of army and navy officers, dip
lomats,: and' ptri3ons of wealth= and leisUre
spending their winters here, who , frequent those
receptions, and no doubt find in, them more
culture and pleasure
,than can be got in c lubs,
hotel ; lobbies, and other places
where inen resort to kill time. At one of these
receptiops, if the husband of the lady of the
house comes in,he is, on the same fdoting as the
other guests. His wife is the , queen of the occa
sion,and haassumes no authority to question or
share flu sovereignty. You see, therefore, why
Washington is so attractive socially. Young
people are as liirely and unrestrained 'as - in
other American cities, and married people rival
'them in tondne.ss for' social gayety:and diver
sions. The tortunate idlersof society who have
othing to do all day but to enjoy themselves
are more numerou sin proportion to the popula
tion than in any of our Nos thern towns,and they
are reinforced evenings by an army of people
from - the public offices whose daily tasks are
so light , as to • leaye them fresh for the night's
eutertainment,
----AO.- IMP
LNEWLY 31.ARR1ED COUPLE.
. It is , a common thing to see.a young couple
in a railroad car, sitting, as the poet says
"wrapt in their mutual atmosphere," and re- •
gardless- of the rest - of the passengers. They
are surrounded by a score of traveling bags,.
bundles, and valises. They have cake and
cold chicken hid away in baskets ) and fruits
hidden in most of their many packt.ges. They
are point.device in all their accoutrements for:
. a
journey. Their clothes are new and fit them
exquisitely. They are attentive to each other's
wants, point out attractive views iu the hurry
ing panorama of the country through• which
the train is flying, smile at each other with a
sort of benign -satisfaction, and Venture upon
various innocent endearments in the face of the
busy public which they have only been accus
tomed to indulge in When alone in a pleasant
parlor, with the gas turned low and the old
folks gone to bed. He slides his arm around
her waist with the easy confidence of owner

with the charming affectation. of dependent ce,
Everybody recognizes the bride and bridegroom
on their wedding journey, and thair fellow pas
sengers watch them with amused interest.
Some with a Sneer think of the days to come
when thhe honeymoon has drawn to a close
and the mother-in-law drops in for her first
long visit. Others dream of their own early
years, rebuilding to the sound of the rythmica I
car wheels the pleasant visions that time has
left. them, and memories of "light and life and
love in youth's sweet prime," rise like an ex
halation of the, brain. Metaphorically speak
ing, the scent of orange blossoms spread, an
aroma of romance abroad..
GROWING OLD.
• It is the solemn thought connected with mid -
dle life, that life's last business is begun in
earnest ; and it is then, Midway between, the
cradle and the grave, that a man begins to
marvel that he let the • days of youth go bY a o
half enjoyed.. It is the pensive autumn feeling-;
it is , the- sensation of halt sadness that we ex
perience when the longest day of the year is
past, and every day that follows isshorter, and
the light fainter, and the feebler shadows tell
that nature it hastening with gigantic LOA-'
steps to the winter grave'. Bo does man look
back upon his youth. When the first gray hairs
become visible, when the . unwelcome tru
fastens upon the mind, that .:a man is no
longer 'going up bill but down, and that the
sun is always westering. he looks back to things
behind. When we ;were ehildren, we thought
aachildren. But now there lies before uarnan
, hood, with Its earnest work, and then old age,
and then the grave, and , then home. There is
a second youth for man, better and holier than
the first; it he will look on and not look. back.

Vegetins thoroughly eradicates every kind of humor.
and restores tho entire system to a healthy condition,
Toe following letter from Rev. G. W. hiamtleld,
formerly pastor of the Methodist Rniocopal church,
Hyde Park, and at present setticd in Lowell, must cpu
vince every one-who rends this letter or the wonderful
curative qualities of Vegetine as a thorough cleanser
and purifier of the blood :
HYDE PARK, KAM, Feb. 15,1876.
3lrt. 11. . R.STivxxs :
Dear Sir—About ten years ago my health failed
through the depleting effects of dyept.psia ; nearly a
year later I was attacked by typhoid fever in its worst
form, i. settled in my back and took the form of a
large deep-seated abscesg, which was fifteen months in
gathering. I had twe Surgical operations, by the best
skill in the State but received no permanent cure. I
suffered great pain at times, and was constantly weak
ened by a profuse discharge. I also lost pieces of bone
tit different times.
Matters ration thus abont seven years. till May, 1874,
when a friend recommended me to go to your office and
talk with you, on the virtues of Vegetino. I did so,
and by your kindness pas Fed through your manufactory
noting the ingredients, eye.. by which your remedy is
produced.
By what.' saw and heard I gained some confidence in
Vetite. -
I commenced taking. it soon alter, but felt worse
from its effects ; still I persevered and soon telt it was
benefiting me in otter respects. Yet, I did not see the
result I desired, till I bad taken It faithfully for a little
more than a year. when the difficulty In the back was
cured. stud for nine months I have enjoyed the best of
health.
I have in that time gained twenty-five potinds of
flesh, being heavier than ever before In my life, and
was never more able to perform labor than now.
During the past few weeks I had a scrofulous swell
ing as large as my Set gather on another part of my
body. •. _
I took Vegetine faithfully and it removed it level
with - the surface in a month. I think I should have
bcen cured of my main trouble sooner if I had taken
larger doses, after having become accustomod to its ef
fects.
Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or kidney
disease undeestand that it takes time to cure ehrenic
diseases, and if they will patiently . take ,Vegetinc, it
will, in my judgment, care them.
With great obligations I am,
Yours very truly
