MEMOIR

OF

MARTHA WASHINGTON.

A PERFECT WOMAN, nobly planned,
To warn, to comfort, and command;
And yet a spirit, still and bright,
With something of an Angel's light!

WORDSWORTH.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act that each to-morrow,
Finds us farther than to-day.
