Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Oration Commemorative of the Character of Mrs. Mary Washington Charming indeed, is the task, of contemplat ing a consistently moral, and wise Mother's cha racter; it is like viewing at a distance, a goddess of love, through glasses framed with gold. To be hold the full-lighted-moon, sinking gently into the broad stretched arms of a blue horizon, is beautiful; but to gaze upon a venerable matron, mantled with mind and virtue, leaving behind her a family of Biblical lights, and prayerfully resigning herself to a terrorless tomb, is the most beautiful sight on earth. If Seraphs look hither and smile upon the dutiful deeds of mag nificent man; surely the Everlasting himself, looks fondly down, upon the more than angelic acts of worthy woman, and smiles again the smile, which ages of ages ago illumed creation illimitably. This rocky Globe, may be dissolv ed into a gasseous mist; yet woman's nature shall never wear away. Yon orb'sbright streams, may be shut off this instant; yet woman's brighter name, shall blaze on forever. This ray of gratitude, to the Mother of Washington, I dedicate.
