Tn his carly youth Geo. Washington was a mere child Even at that period, however, did he so deport himself as to carn the admiration of all who esteemed him. Alas, can this be sald of other great men who were once little? When be was about 6 years old, Washington was made the owner of a little hatchet. The ceremony was simple and devoid of pomp, but dignified and complete. From that moment the hatchet belonged to him. This ts a pleasing thought to ponder over On 4 memorable morning he thoughtlessly tried the edge of his hatchet on a fine cherry tree in his father’s garden. This was im- rtant, Had the cherry tree been fn someune else's garden, his ther might not have asked with much wartth—for the day was a cold one—who had done the mischief Then Washington realized that when he tried the edge of his hatchet on the cherry tree the —- had been successful ral,” eaid bis parent, “do you know who destroyed cherry tree while you were hewing it down?” It was on bis lips to reply, bat Washington waa ailent for a moment.
