Jacob Selwyn’s Wife’s Epitaph.
“Her name was Sarah—simply Sarah,”
said Jacob, as if the fact were'a'ieatimony to
the modest nature of the depam.'ff'“8he
Was of late years—68,” he continued, j refor-'
ring to an old pocket book; “but; cocci-ding
to my reckoning we lost three years or Io
from not keeping a check upon her birth-
days. Put her down 68, she must have
known her own age better than" any one”
else.” - ' '
Mr. Wycherly wrote “aged 68.” .
“Would you say aged.” asked Selwyn, “I
don’t think she would have liked that. Say
in her 68th year if you please." -
Mr. Wycherly wrote as requested.
“She was an excellent cook, chberly, and
made ham better, I think, than any oth-
er woman in the country,” said Selwyn, with
a pardonable feeling of pride.
“I dont think we can put that in her epi-
taph,” remarked Wycherly.
“No, perhaps not; but it’s a pity; it ought
to go down, as it might have stimulated oth-
er young women to have as much said of
them," adding after a pause, “she was good
if figures, and taught me to cipher when I
. iwas first married; but that can’t go down
either, I suppose ? She was a very tidy wo-
man, made others tidy; broke a lot of good
servants, who never had a kind word to say
of her I dare say; that can’t go down,I sup-
pose ?
“It Would be difficult toexpress it,” an-
swered Wycberly.
“Pickling and preserving, she was a great
band at both,” said Selwyn, with an inquir-
ing look, but receiving no encouraging re-
sponse from his imanuensis, he took anoth-
er shoot.
“Always early with her chickens and tur-
keys, and pretty nigh found herself in clothes;
what do you say to that ? That ought to go
down," .
Mr. Wychei'ly replied, “Well, I think all
the good qualities you have enumerated
must be comprised in “She was an excellent
Wife." . -
“Ah! that she was,” said the bereaved
husband; “and it’s 'hard she can't have it
put stronger than "that. She was affection-
ate, Wycherly.” , '
“Yes, I’m sure of tho. "
“Sometimes a little too affectionate, and
showed a little unnecessary anxiety about
me. I used to vex her sometimes on pur-

Work. ' ' -
It 'may be well to enumerate some of the
things for which, and some of the friends to
whom our thanks are especially due :
1. To the Ladies of all the tons in the
District, for their efficient help in giving us a
.~“ setting. out when we began housekeeping.”
2.- To-the ladies of, Stamford, Dorian and
Norwalk, for. their readiness at alljtimes to

which can minister to the comfort-of the lit-
tleones. . . ~ . . ..
. 3. To the ladies of the Soldiers Aid Socie-
ty of Stamford, for their check for $200 to
aid us in “providing for the Orphans.”
4. To the merchants of Stamford for
contributions from their stores, both of food ,
and clothing.
5. To all who have given or promised
mono for the current expenses of the Home.
6. o the kind friend who has given us
one ood cow.
7. 8Even greater thanks to the one who
shall ive us another.
-8. o the Nurseryman in New Canaan for
choice.Ever ecu trees. '
.9. Blame“ thanks of the “little ones" to
him who sent them almost a bushel of straw-
berries fi'om the hill east of Stamford.
10. To “ Friends in Europe," for a choice
library of more than a thousand volumes,
obtained and forwarded by Mr. Benj. Fitch.
, 11. To all the Oct! friends in Stamford
for what they are oing to add to the enjov’
ment of the Orphans of the Home, in their
celebration on the coming Fourth of July.
12. To all others Whose gifts cannot at
this moment be remembered.
A word as to the present condition and
wants of the Home.
' There are now 29 children enjoying the
benefit of the Institution, children Whose
patriotic father’s have given their lives for
their country. These are under a thorough .
course of instruction, well-fed, well-clothed,
and happy. But there is a much larger
number in the District still unprovided for.
The buildings and furniture of the Home are
now amply sufiicient for their accommoda-
tIOn. They need its comforts and instruc-
tion‘as much as those already enjoying them;
but the means for their support are wanting.
We'would gladly take them all to the Home
and provide for them. The children of our '
deceased soldiers must not be allowed to
grow up in poverty, ignorance and vice.—
; Patriotism, humanity, and the debt of grati-
tude we owe to the dead forbid it. We trust
those who have the heart and the means to
help, Will visit the Home and see for them-
selves, Or ascertain in some other way, what
are o'urinunediate wants, and bring us the
needed'assiotance. We shall be grateful at
alltiines, fOr‘money, materials for clothing,
'pfoviaions'Or anything which can add to the
comfort of Orphan children.
These may be left With the Superintend‘
out at the Home, or With any one of the un-
dersigned Trustees. All gifts to the Institu-
tion are duly credited and recorded in the
books of the Treasurer.

Bemniscences of the White
_ House. ,
wm'r ABIGAL ADAMS rnonour or ran
WHITE House.
Mrs. President Adams, accustomed to a re-
fined mode of living, was not too conscious of
her elevation to Presidential dignity nor too
blind to the defects of the Presidential man-
sion. ’ She describes the latter as having been
constructed on a superb scale, requiring about
thirty servants to keep it in order, and com-
plains that the lighting of the rooms from
kitchen to parlor is a very severe tax. Large
fires were necessary as preventives against
ague, and no wood was to be had to feed
them. Men to cut and cart it were not pro-
curable, and coal could not be used because
the making and setting of grates was not
feasibllé.
Thé’iiralls of the house not yet being dry
many fraud of wOod was used in drying
them, and wood cutters and wagons bad to
be imported from Philadelphia. Not a room
was furnished, and Mrs. Adams, with the
instinct of a house-wife, used the audience
chamber for drying clothes in. The oval
drawing-room tip-stairs was provided with
crimson furniture. In this Presidential pal-
‘ace, where n'ot a bell was hung by which to
common one of the soivan’ts, whose damp
and incompleted walls increased the proba-
bility of agile, and where the number of
lights was exceedingly disproportionate to
the amount of space required to be illumina-
ted,-Abigal Adams, cultivated those virtues
which equally embellish society and home.
‘ With the wives of Heads of Departments
and members of legislature the exchanges
visits and forms friendships: The pleasure
she feels in the sometime congratulations of
Mrs. Lewis, and Mrs. Senator Otis, her near
neighbor, is enhanced by the occasional re-
ééptiOn ofa haunch of venison from Major
Custis. She has had time every now and
then to be good-naturedly sarcastic and to
remark that a certain official, whom she
leaves nameless, has so many delicacies in
his train that he cannot thread the roads
fast enough, and the opening of the .senate
iathereby-delayed. Anon she-complains of
the scarcity oflooking-glasses in the mansion»
declaring that even the few provided are
nothing better than dwarfs, or laments the
stealing and breaking of her pet china-ware.
She is up every morning at five, skimming
milk, whilst Mr. Adams is in the field with
his hay-makers. She does not appear to
have thought much of the assemblies held
during the presidential days of Washington.
Of one that she attended in January, 1791,
after having mentioned that the president
and “madam” (meaning Mrs. Washington,)
the vice president and his madam, the minis-
ters of‘ state and their madams, were present,
she remarks that the dancing was good, the
room despicable, the etiquette—it was diffi-
cult to say where it was to be found ! ‘
A PRESIDENT'S WIFE BUBNED OUT or HOUSE
AND HOME—THE STYLE or annns FIFTY
YEARS AGO. ' ’
Presidents are partial to widows. Mrs.
Todd, widow of James Todd, Esq., a practi-
tioner of the bar, in Philadelphia, became
Mrs. Madison. Her maiden name was Paine,
and her father, who was of the Society of
Friends, emigrated from Virginia to Phila-
delphia. At the time of her first marriage
she was only eighteen years of age, and at
the time of her second not quite twenty-one.
Her mannncrs are represented as agreeable,
her department mild and dignified, and her
conversation fascinating. She was very pop»
ular, because she desired both to please and
to be pleased. The polite attentions that
were required from her as wife of the Presi--
dent she discharged with dignified ali‘ability.
All the amenities of social life she skill-l
fully applied to soften the political asperities-
of the time. To this grace she united a brave
spirit. At the date ofthe entering of Wash-
ington by the British, the firing by them of
the docks, the shipping, and theinagazines,
and the dooming of the Senate house, the
President’s palace, the library, to the same;
fate, she remained with perfect composure in3
her Washington home until a messenger;
brought her the tidings that the British were
actually Within a few miles of the city—that
our army was retreating without any chance
of being successfully rallied. Remaining at
Georgetown, she awaited her husband there,
having been induced to leave Washington ’
only thirty minutes before he was reduced
to the mortifying necessity of abandoning it
also.
Mrs Monroe is represented as having been
a most elegant and accomplished lady, pos-
sessing a charming mind, and a dignity of
manners that peculiarly qualified her for her 2*
station. A critical letter-writer who flour- ‘
ished in her time, and who wrote previousj
to the inauguration of her husband, remark-i
ed that her retired domestic habits would be-
much annoyed by what was called society,:
if she did not alter the etiquette (if it might .
be called-so) established by Mrs. Washing-
ton, Mrs. Adams, aiid Mrs. Madison. The
feeble constitution of Mrs. Monroe hardly
permitted her to encounter this routine. Her
efforts were an illustration of health being
sacrificed to society. A gossiping epistolato-
ry (lesciption of her levees says: “The presi-
dents, secretaries, senators, members, foreign
ministers, consuls, comptrollers, auditors, ac-
countants, officers of the Army and Navy of
every grade, farmers, merchants, persons,
priests, lawyers, iudges, notaries, auctioneers
office hunters, brokers, clerks, stay-tape and
buckram gentry, speculators and nothingari-
ans—all with their wives and some with
their gawkiog offspring—crowd to the presi-
dent’s every Wednesday evening, some in
shoes, most in boots, many in spurs; some
snufling, others chewing, and many longing
for their cigar and Whiskey-punch left at
home; some with powdered heads, others
frizzled and oiled, with some whose heads a
comb had never touched, half bid by dirty
collars, reaching above their ears, as stifi‘ as
pastboard. “Mrs. President, this is my Wife;”
“Ma’am, this is my daughter ;” “Mr. Presi-
dent, this is my Dick, a hopeful youth, just
freed from college rules, and light as the va-
por he puffs from Havan‘s best.” How dis-
anddignity of his Government 2” Mrs. Mad.
ison, as well as Mrs. Monroe, felt all this,
