Thdy fttngnwawrrative ws re latec bYhjtr ony Sherman, an oc togenarian, who heard the sico~ .t. from WMfington's own lips: 7, The darkest period 'of our Revo lition was the year 1777, when Washington, after experiencing many reverses, went into winter :quarters at Valley Forge. Often I observed tears course downi the cheeks of the beloved commander when he was considering the suf fferings of hisbravesoldiers. Wash iegton was in the habit of praying in secret and callig upoan od for assistance; and it Was only by the ,h elp of God we passed those days of adversity. Oq p day Washington spent the ,whole afternoon in his room alone. 'when he came out ;. rved he 9was much paler t hn usual, when ?ie related to me the folowing: "Whilst I was sittlng\t my ta iile 46tbisaeuooeigaged in writ ing, and miy mind was heavy with soresV, I sqedaty observed direct ly epplite td aio most beautiful female. I was so muck surps!sed, for I had given strict orders not to ber enhad words at the moment to inquire the objecteof this-"nexpeeted visit. Two, three and even four times I repeated the question without re ceiviyg a an9wer,.the only effect being th04 she raised rier eyes a little. "I now ex~perienced a most en ous: sersaJlon spread over my while bodS- I wished to rise from my seat, bautihe stead gaze of my ryeterioes visitQr kept me spell uund. I agai.ri:tried to speak to 8er, but my tongue was tied. An unknewat, mystesres, irrestible power had taken me prisonet. I the appsro, a FIi i ttAs t room fited w haid thertorm grew more clear 'ad brighiSt.~ y feeullg.swere those of a dyttig ~an; I could neither thlnk nor aict. M steady gae at thef Agare was all that I was aware of. "I now heard awoice wbteksabl 'son of the repuBlle, behoMdtand learn? A! the sametime the igure stretched out its arm and pointed which dtsre`idaer 1edl aled to my e aes inwer as out,-ng ple. toae. Deforo me all ther conutrdes of the earth were aprsad out-Ea. Between Europe and Amebrica I saw the waves of the Atlabtife ocean toss backward and forward, and between America and Asia the waves_of the Pacific ocean. Again I heard the voice 'Son of the Republic, behold and learn. "Immediately a dark form like that of an angel appeared over the oeean between Eawope alid Amner 1, ' hane it over over Europe., Immediately dark Sdonds arosefo boththese ofnm tries, which met in the ;iddle of the ocean ;there they` remained sta tionary for a s.ort while,: then moved westward, as.d wrapped Ameo~ieada drkness. Lightning flashed through the dark clouds, shrieking of the American people. "Again the angel dipped -ater from hle oiian and sprinkled it as before. The blak clouds wthdrew and sank into the s"a. For the tire' time I heard the voice 'Son of the Republic, behold and learn. "I looked towards America and saw populous villages and cities spread out from the Atlantic coast to the Paci.. Ocean. Again I heard the mysterous voice. 'Son of Republic, behold and learn.' "1l~h t form of-the angel then turned toward the south, and, com ing from Africa, I observed a hor rible phantomielik Its way to our country. It floatedlow and heav ily over ounitown, and the country; the inhabitants rose to make war on each 6ther,iad Torin i nh battle array. As I looked at this scene I obertvett n gel surroundied lth light, on his head he wore a beau tiful crown, on which was inscribed the word 'Union,' in his hand he held thedLtaerlca i' 8tr ~paugled banner; this he planted between the contending armies, crying out, 'Remember you are brothers.' "Immediately the nations threw away their- arms, became friends again and gathered round the Stair Spangled Banner. Again I heard the mysterious vo.es, 'Son of the Republie, the second danger Is past; behold and learn.' "And I saw villages and cities steadily increase in size and number until the whole country was cot ered with them, the whole extent, from the Atlantic to "the Pacfic Ocean, and the nation had multi plied in as countlesa numbers as the stars in hesven or the sands on the seishore.

"The dark angel then again took op the trumpet and gave one long ml -terrible blow. Suddenly, a iiht broke forth and drove away the dark cloud- hovering over America. At the same time I s*c the angel with the beautiful crowa, on which was inscribed the wdi 'Union' descend from heaven, hold ing in one hand the Star Spangled Banner and in the other a sword, and .cconi pnied by legions of heaveula * irlts. These united witb tte ~tmerican people, when the latter .were almost over powered, who then took fresh cour age and 1orgied in battle array. Again, amid-the horrible noise of i~a*i heard the mysterious voice: "Son of the Republic, behold and learn.' "After this voice the dark angel dipped out water for the last time from the sea and sprinkled it over America, and immediately the dark cloud -retreated with its armneb which it had brought along, le~v Atg the vietory to to the Americans. I then agai.nasw towns and. vi lageog rise in the same places w~were they had stood before, while the heavenly angel planted the Star Spangled Banner among the people and cried out with a loud voice- 'As long as the stars are in heaven, and as long as the dew de 0 eends from heaven to earth so long shall this Republic exist.' At thlie same time she took the beautiful crown from his head, on which was inscribed the word 'tntion, placed it on the Star Spangled Banner and the peopineeling down cried out 'Amen.' "The apparition then gradually began to dissolve, and at last the mysterious female was all that re malned before ine in my room, ainl agaIn I heard" the voice: 'Son of the Reppblic, what you have seen is explained as follows: Three dangers' #it e ir ta0i. pnb lic; the second is the most to be dreaded: when this one is passed, the whole world cannot conquer her. Let every child of the Reub lie learn to serve his GCod, his coun try and the Union.' With these words the form van ished. f"Iarose from my chair with the firm conviction that the birth, pro gress anid fate of the Republie of the United States of America Ihad been revealed to. me." tihese words, says Mr. Sherman, Sheard minyself iromiei .
