FATHER OF WIS COUNTRY. Ho lives, ever lives, in the hearts ol 1 the free, The wing of his fame spreads across the broad sea; He lives where the banner of free donfs unfurled, The pride of his country, the wealth of the world. His work is done: But while the race of mankind endure Let his great example stand, Colossal seen of every land; And keep the soldier firm, the states man pure. Till in all lauds and thro' all humar story, l'he path of duty be the path of glory —Tennyson. ■si 1 Memoirs and valet reminiscences have made more than one popular Idol loiter on Us pedestal. But not so with the Immortal American patriot whose lt)7tli birthday will soon he celebrated. George Washington bears I microscopic inspection. Under none 1 of the innumerable sidelights which have been thrown upon his character j and personality does his dignity! dwindle. Scattered here and there through the great rubbish-heaps that have been written about him are' many minute details of the little f ♦lungs which reveal to us the actual! man Washington as those who lived near him saw liirn and knew him. Put them together and examine him j with all the light they throw upon ! the frail human envelope which bound him, and he is still George Washing- j ton—the one overshadowing heroic j figure of our American life and his tory. It was said of George Washington , during his life- said by those who; knew him best; said by the artists! who studied his features and tried to j reproduce them upon canvas that there was a shadowy something in his \ face which the memory could never j quite picture in his absence, and; which Gilbert Stuart admitted he j could not distinctly depict or even suggest with his brush. So it is very clear none of the portraits enable us to think of him as ho actually was. We know he had dark brown hair; that liis eyes were light blue, verging upon gray; that liis nose was long and prominent, with too much breadth i to be Roman anil not quite enough to i he course or heavy, We have Gilbert | Stuart's statement that his eyes were set in sockets larger than those of any person this great portrait artist had ever painted. Stuart anil many j other people tell us that the habitual expression of his eyes was reflective \ almost to the point of melancholy. \ We know, too, that his cheek bonis! were broad and high. About the mouth there is more tin i certainly, except that it was wide and straight and closed in a Hue so tirm and strong that one man who saw him says lie gave the impression of always having his Jaws tightly clinch ed. But there is a hit of human his tory about that mouth, and it turns on the fact that the immortal George suffered the torments of the damned with toothache, including swelling of the jaws and all the other Infernal ac cessories of that malady. His leetli were bad from early manhood. One by one he had them pulled out. until when Gilbert Stunrt painted his por trait the expression of the mouth was so changed by the gum cavities that the artist tried flip experiment of at tempting to build out to the original lines by tilling in the vacant places with cotton. Beyond conveying to posterity an Irreverent suspicion that the Father o. Ills Country chewed tobacco, the success of Stuart's ex periment was only moderate. I.ater on in life Washington had to make a general riddance of nil his natural teeth and supply their places with false ones. But the dentists of those days were not so skilful as they are now, and It is hardly to he believ ed they left the mouth with the origin al expression nature gave It. There was one portrait of Washing ton which those who knew him best said looked more like him than any other, and yet that is the one now least generally known. It is the Sharpies portrait, painted in 17! in, four years before his death, and when Washington was sixty-three years of age. There is something about this picture which makes you instinctively feel that It looks like the man it was Intended for. All the others convey a certain suspicion of idealization anil flattery. This one has the distinct stamp of truth and honesty. It is the picture of somebody whom it is possible to think of us having been a living reality and not u myth. With this picture before us and by the aid of the many minute details that have been written about his per sonal appearance it is possible to form an idea of how Washington really looked, although, of course, we must allow for the absence of that "certain something" in his face which the art ists could never catch and which his intimates—so far as Washington had any intimates—never could distinctly recall in ids absence, it is interesting to speculate in this connection on how George would look were he lo come hack to us in this year of grace IKPP. the 107 th anniversary of his birth. All the information wo have on the subject goes to show that In his later years, as well as In his youth, he was particular in the matter of dress. The details he sent to his London tailor are very minute, and his criticisms of gar ments already delivered to him by that worthy are searching and vigor ous. showing that the tailor's work hail heeu subjected to a very careful Inspection by a man who knew just what he wanted and intended to have It. It is not at all improbable that if Washington were instructing a tailor of to-day he would direct thut the trousers he a little wider at the bot tom and cover more of the foot than is the fashion just now. For tile fact is George did have a prodigious foot area. A man six feet three inches high would natmally have a good sized foot, but Washington's are de scribed as "a Utile larger than the ordinary." Ami what applies to i.i.s feet applies to lila hands. It would I bo irreverent to say tlint ho hail a | hand liko a liani, but if ho were alive j and "in politics** to-day it is highly probable this delicate descriptive com parison would iind its way into the personal gossip of the reptile press. Washington almost from his boyhood was a soldier. In time of peace his favorite amusements involved horse back riding and vigorous bodily oxer-, else out of doors. This padded liiH powerful frame with a uniformly de veloped set of muscles powerful enough to make even a Saudow ad mire. If he did not throw a stone across the Rappahannock there is no reason why lie might not have done so. lie certainly did stand ou the ralisades and shy a stone far out into the Hudson at a point where most men could not have given it force sufficient to have carried it to tin water's edge. That a man of such a build and developed by such a life should have big hands and feet is inevitable. On no one point has there been mere discussion and probably more misrep- i resentatlon than 011 the subject of Washington's religious faith, it is quite natural that there should he on ! the part of the clergy an effort tol establish that a mail whose example was likely to wield so tremendous a weight was a stanch churchman and rigid observer of all religious rites. As a matter of fact he was m itlier one nor the other. lie was baptized in tlie Protestant Episcopal Church, but lie never was a communicant. 111 point of fact his breadth of views was so great that he was more than once accused of atheism. Whatever were! his real views he seems to have kept 1 them to himself, although in all public ways he threw his influence 011 the side of religion. WASHINGTON AS A SENTINEL. Walked on Guard at Valley Forge to Re lieve a Starving Soldier. William I'errine gives a graphic I picture of Washington's memorable winter of suffering at Valley Forge in the Ladies' Home Journal. "Sen-1 tinels pacing in the snow 011 the outposts took off their caps and stood ! in them to save their feet from freez ing." he writes. "Here and there could lie found even officers in a so. t of dressing gown made of woolen bedcovers. The stout-hearted women j of New Jersey sent their quilted clothes as Christmas presents, with j the patriotic jest that as women were | said sometimes to wear the trousers. ' so now there would he an excuse for nun who might wear ppttlconts. Washington, who never exaggerated, said that few men had more than one shirt, many only halt' a one, and some none at all. Nearly three thousand men were barefooted, and occasional ly might be seen a soldier who was all but naked! Sometimes there was nothing to eat in the camp but rott n salted herrings. Men were known to snatch at the dough of luilf-haked cakes in the kitchens of the farmers' wives. The contractors ami the com missary agents and the Continental Congress laid brought twelve thous and men io the verge of starvation, and the blood of Geueral Wayne ran hot with rage as he looked on his poor fellows weak with hunger. Indeed, there was but one horn tumbler and also but one wooden dish for every mess. Washington himself dined one | day on potatoes and hickory nuts. 'My good man.' lie said to the sentinel in front of his headquarters, pacing up and down in the bitterness of a cold morning, 'have you had anything to eat?' 'No sir.' was the reply. 'Give me your musket, then, and go inside and get some breakfast,' and the tall commander gravely walked up and down as guard over his own house." A Good Kxumple.

If there is one name more than an other that stands out before the mind of the American boy, it is that of George Washington. When the boy beholds the flag of his country Hying over him upon a day marking some great national event, then does that open face, its lines of character clear and strong and deep, the lips firm but pleasant set. be seen as bis eye watches bis banners every flap. Not the greatest man in war. perhaps, when measured by the Old World Napoleonic standard, but in the re sults afterward obtaiued from war, human liberty, and the creating of a nation, where at last the word "Man" might have its true significance, and "King" moan the will of constitu tional majorities, if results are the measure, then certainly in this man's labors is the world's greatest greatness found. Becuuse lie insisted that the people should rule themselves, and that ho. at his highest, was but their servant. Nor their servant In the sense of the demagogue, who is the cunning knave of an insane master when he voices the passion of the mob, but the diviner Mind translator of a people's best thought In highest act. For the first time in all history came in Washington a military dictator who refused to dictate. For at one time in tlie Revolution- ' ary strifggle the Congress so clothed with power the comiiiander-in-chief of its army. It was done against the teachings and light of history, which told what man had ever done jn such a situation-—relegated to himself un limited power. As such then it was 11 hazardous act. But clear above the thought of self, or the glory of am- j bition, he stood, this man, George Washington, his voice rising 011 the storm and guiding and directing the contest. Simple, democratic, pro- 1 found, his words ever measured to the j exigencies of the occasion, he em- i blazoned his name on history's page as a man of great and even calibre. The stormy period of the strife over, the suspense that followed when , States, weakly connected and of di j verging interest, as some of them in their nearness of vision thought, pre j seuted yet ftirtlier duties on a course unlit by the experience of the past. j Other men there were, renowned oral tor**. writers who were with the , pen philosophers, men of genius, the giants of a new and great age, but they all turned to Washington, as the j man to stand above the rest in the j formulating of a constitution, and afterward under it when this new ex ; peri men t in representative self-igov- j eminent, the ship of state was to : move out into the unknown waters. ! Holding the high honor of first clti- : zen for eight years he lays down all with these words in his farewell nd dress, in which lie tells his people to be proud of their title to nationality, and that it is above all local pride. "The name, American, which be longs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriot ism more tlniu any appellation derived from local administration, with slight shades of difference you have the same religion, manners, habits and political principles. You fought and triumphed together; this independence and liberty you possess are the work of just councils and just efforts of a common tongue, suffer ing and successes." In this way did Washington admon ish against 21 danger which came and culminated in a great war. But when that war passed, ;*;ain across a re united land, revered again, and hence forth, let us hope, will bo forever, the name of George Washington.

N GLTON Rode to Front, Halllctl Troops and Won tli Day. Cornwnllis had loft all his stores at Brunswick, and three regiments of foot and three companies of horses at Princeton. Tlilther then Washing ton was marching that winter night. He meant to strike his superior ene my another blow at a weak point. By daybreak lie was near Princeton and moved with the main army straight from the town. Mercer was detached with 300 men to destroy the bridge which gave the most direct connection with Gornwallis. The ene my had started at sunrise, and one regiment was already over the bridge when they saw the Americans. Col onel Maw hood at once rccrosscd the bridge and both Americans and English made for some high com manding ground. The Americans reached the desired point first, and a sharp light ensued. The American rillcs did great execution, but with out bayonets they could not stand the charge. Mercer was mortally wound ed, and his men began to retreat. As Mawliood advanced lie came upon the main American Army, marching rapidly to the scene of action. The new Pennsylvania militia in the van wavered under the British tire and be gan to give way. Washington forget ting. as ho was too apt to do. his po sition. his importance and everything hut the fight, rode rapidly to the front, reined liis horse within thirty yards of the enemy and called to his men to stand linn. The wavering ceased, the Americans advanced, tlie British halted and then gave way. The Seventeenth regiment was badly cut up. broken and dispersed. Tlie other two tied into the town, made a brief stand, gave way again and were driv en in rout to Brunswick. Washing ton broke down the bridges, and, leaving Cornwnllis. who bad discover ed that he had been outgeneraled, to gaze at him from the other side of the Millstone and of Stony Brook, moved off to Somerset courthouse, where lie stopped to rest ids men. who had been marching for eighteen hours. It was too late to reach the maga zines at Brunswick, hut the work was done. An Impre**lv Scene. The hour now approached, in which it became necessary for the American chief to take leave of ids officers, who had been endeared to Idm by a long scries of common sufferings and dan gers. Tills was done in a solemn man ner. The officers having previously assembled for the purpose. General Washington joined them, and. calling for a glass of wine, thus addressed them: "With a heart full of love and gratitude, 1 now take leave of you. I most devoutly wish that your latter days may lie as prosperous and happy as your former ones ha ve been glorious ami honorable." Having drank, he added. "I cannot come to each of you to take my leave, but shall lie obliged to you if each of you will come and take nie by the hand." General Knox, being next, turned to him. Incapable of utterance. Washington grasped his hnnd. and embraced liim. The officers came up successively, and lie took an affectionate leave of each of them. Not a word was articulated on either side. A majestic silence prevailed. The tear of sensibility glistened in every eye. The tenderness of the j scene exceeded nil description. When the last of the officers had taken ids leave. Washington left the room, and passed through the corps of light in fantry to the place of embarkation, The officers followed in a solemn, mute procession, with dejected coun tenances. On his entering tlie barge to cross tin l North Kivcr. he turned toward tlie companions of his glory, and. by waving his hat, bade tliem a silent adieu. Some of them answered tliis last signal of respect and affection with tears; and all of them gazed up :on the barge, which conveyed liiin from their sight, till they could no longer distinguish in it the person of I their beloved commander-in-chief. Washington Irvine's Kulogy. i "The fame of Washington stands | apart from every name in history; shining with a true light and a more benignant glory. * * Gfory that blatant word which haunts so many military minds like the bray of a : trumpet, formed no part of his aspira tions. To act justly was his instinct, to promote the public weal his con stunt effort, to deserve the affection of good men his ambition."—Washing ton Irving. Andrew Jackson's Tribute. | "1 witnessed the public conduct and 1 private virtues of Washington and 1 saw and participated in the confidence which lie inspired, when probably the stability of our institutions de pended upon his personal influence. Many years have passed over me l since, but tliey have increased instead I of diminishing my reverence for liis I character and my confidence in his 1 principles."—Andrew Jackson. His Msmory Kndtirlng. "When the storm of battle blows loudest and rages highest, the memory of Washington shall nerve every Am erican and cheer every American !>rast. It shall rcilluinine that Pro methean tire, that sublime flame of patriotism, that devoted love of , country, which his words have com mended, which ids example has con seefated."—Rufus Choatc. in mi One hundred and sixty-seven years ago Mary Ball Washington was about to become a mother for the tlrst time. One hundred times she said to Augus tine Washington, her husband, "1 hope It will be a boy." And one hun dred times he said kindly, but calmly having been through the same experi ence four times with his first wife, "Of course it will, Mary; don't worry." lankily for us. It was a boy, and the boy was George Washington. This being his birthday and a holi day. you will perhaps find time to con sider what manner of man he was and how he compares with the men we call great nowadays. Our inten tion, which we are frank to confess at tlie outset, is to show that he was a lighting man. When he was a young hoy, lie wrote neatly in his copybook: "I.nhor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience." When lie had finished that lie went out and thrashed all the hoys he could get hold of. lie played soldier and trade tliem let him be captain. lie wrestled, fought, raced and indicated in various ways that he was ready for trouble. When he was fourteen, liis mother found it very hard to keep him from enlisting in the navy. At nineteen he hud a command in tlie militia. When still a mere hoy. at the Mon ongahela, he hail four bullet holes through his coat and two horses shot under him. This was fighting. He was ready for il. with Indians, with Englishmen, with Frenchmen or any other sort of men that needed a beat ing—and tliey got it from liim when ever they felt that they needed It. For fourteen or fifteen years lie lived peacefully as a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. He had plenty of money and plenty of oppor tunity to eultivate a fine aristocratic horror of war. But the love of fight was alive in him nil the time. When he heard .u '7* l of the outrageous suf ferings in Boston, he did not suggest mildness and a careful investigation. He said: "I will raise a thousand tnen, subsist them at my own expense, and mnreli with tliem at their head, for the relief of Boston." Vulgar and common and quarrelsome, wasn't it V But it's Just what lie said. Tills quarrelsome Washington was positively delighted with the Declara tion of indcpcmlnncc, in spite of Its degrading advice to resent snubs. Without any hesitation lie under took to whip England with an army of fourteen thousand soldiers and about twenty-five hundred straggling, 1111 armed men. His soldiers had Just nine cartridges each, and England at that time had twenty-four thousand troops in this country, unlimited am munition and all England in reserve to call upon. Well, ns you may have read. Wash ington made England give up n good many million dollars worth of Ameri can real estate—which she will never get hack—and still he was not tired of fighting. Frederick the Great sent him Ids portrait—"From the oldest general iu Europe to tlie greatest Gen eral in tlie world." Even that did not make Washington feel that the time had come to stop. When lie was sixty-two years old he tieard of upris ings in Pennsylvania against a liquor tax. He was ready to start out at the head of tlie inllllia Just as quickly 11s he could pull on ills white buck skin breeches, hut the uprising de cided to give up. When lie was sixty-four years old he accepted tlie command of nil troops raised or to lie raised in tlie United States; and lie was ready at 11 word to fight France as he had fought Eng land. He could easily have suggested peaceful tnllc. since France had been so useful lo us. But his motto was "if anybody wants trouble, let liim apply to the United States, and he can have it in doses to suit." When the time came to die, he gave Death :i light. He said: "I die hard, lint I'm not afraid to go." When death had finally won. lie knew it, :\ud lie still showed grit. He said to liis doctors: "I feel myself going; I pray you take no more trouble about I me." | He set an example living, and he set an example dying, and he will ; set an example as long as men are meu—it Is a fighting example. He was first in peace and first in the hearts of liis countrymen because he | was first in war. When lie was dead and gone to a Heaven where cowards—lf admitted— -1 certainly take second place: Napoleon I hound all liis Hags and standards with ] crape for ten days, and tlie ships of England—those tliHt lie hnd not sent ; to tlie bottom of the sen—put their flags at half mast. America'* Patron Saint. "His countrymen are charged with fond idolatry of his memory and his greatness is pleasantly depleted as n mythological exaggeration.

Dr. Dcpew'a Opinion of Him. "Washington was never dramatic, but on great occasions not only rose to the full ideal of the event.—he be came the event.
