VIII.FKOM THE MONUMENT TO THE MUSEUMS. The Washington Monument. The dignity, symmetry, and towering height of Washingtons character, as it nowpresents itself to the minds of his countrymen, are well exemplified in the majesticsiijplicity of his monument in Washington. This pure and glittering shaft, asking noaid from inscription or ornament, strikes up into heaven and leads the thought to apatriotism as spotless and a manhood as lofty as any American has attained to. It is theglory and grandeur of this superb monument that it typifies and recallsnot Washington the man, but Washington the character. It is really a Grandeur.monument to the American people in the name of their foremost repre-sentative. It is in itself a constantly beautiful object, intensified, unconsciously to thebeholder, perhaps, by the symbolism and sentiment it involves. With every varyingmood of the changing air and sky, or time of day, it assumes some new phase ofinterest to the eye. Now it is clear and firm again
