: man of strong integrity, promptitude, and
fidelity in business, and every quality, which
if called into exercise, would render service
to the state. The decision of VVashingto_n,
therefore, was just, honorable and patriotic.
But whence this admirable, I may almost
say singular integrity? Was Washington
an hxceptioh to the infirmities of our nature’!
Or was his piety of a higher order, and
more efficient in its influence’! The first IS
inadmissible—th8 latte‘ imPr°b‘ible' But
mined not to be subdued. I The struggle was
mutually desperate ; and the companions of
George looked on, their terror and amaze-
ment increased every moment. At length
the colt obtained the adv-.iniag'e, and, bound-
mg forward with the speed of an arrow,
rtiadea misstep, and his fall broke a blood
vessel, and died on the spot.
"George came down unhurt, but when he
beheld the gasping ofthe noble animal, and
heart was troubled. His companions hur-
George anxiously inquired, “What will your
mother say ? who can tell her ?’
At this moment they were summoned to
breakfiist. VVhen "seated at the table Mrs.
VVashington said, ‘ VVell, young gentle-
men, have you seen my fine sorrel colt in
your rambles this morning ?’., -
The qttestionwas natural; but what a
question it was I No answer was returned,
and it was repeated. Upon this, George
with a perfect frankness replied, ‘Mother,
This was followed by an exact account of
the whole affair. As the youthful and agi-
ush of disple:isure was seen rising upon her

I scarcely know in what terms to express
my admiration oftlte woman, or the manner
in which she treated this delicate and diffi-
cult case. George was greatly in fault, and
her rebuke was appropriate and commen-
surate-—-hc frankly confessed the whole act,
and she expressed her high sense of his rc-
grnrd to truth. ' That speech, short as it was,
I dare sayftold upon his llG‘al‘t———Cli'e\\-' his
mother nearer to his bosom, and tang-l is him
more effectually and more lastingly, the im-
portance and value of truth and integrity,
than a volume of lecturing would have dine.
It was by such means that this part of the
cessful copartner with his mate, and a dry
-pun, or gravely delivered witticism was fre,-.
quently worked offwith an air of philosophy
or nnconcern, that gave him at once the
credit of being a first rate wit. Supper on
the table, these two’ Yankees were not dull
as a couple generally will _be at table, but
made mirth and laughter and wit their corn-I
panions, and there‘ was a ‘set out’ fit for _a
prince and his associates. The Yankees ate
and drank and were ri,<._:-ht merry, when the
old family clock whirred and whizzed as the
hainrner on the clock struck one, two, three;
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, tcn, eleven,
twelve! The elder looked up at the old‘
monitor before him, stuck his elbow on the
table and looked again stcatlily for a minute,
and then laughed ottt heartily. awakening
the waiter, who was just dozing by the Win-.
dotv sill. ’
‘VVhnt in the name of Momus are you
laughing at '3’ asked the dapper Yankee, as
be cast his eyes now over the table, notvovcr
and around himself to ascertain where the
nest of the joke was concealed. The elder
winked slyly, and yawning lazily, slowly
raised the forefinger of his right hand, and ap-
plied it gracefully to his nose. The dapper
mnn understood the hint.
‘ Oho l’ I understand—no you don’t come
over this child! waiter, another bottle of
cliampaigne.’ The servant left the. room, and
our heroes inclining themselves over the ta-
ble, held a long conversation in a low tone,
when the elder of the two raised his voice,
and with an air of satisfaction, exclaimed-I
‘Clocks always go it l’
They both cautiously rose from their
chairs, and advancing to the clock, turned the
key ofthe door, and looked within, the older
in a half inquiring, half decided manner, say-
ing—- ‘
' \Von’t it .7’
The waiter was on the stairs, and they re-
turned to their seats in a trice, as if nothing
had happcned—both scolding the trailer‘, as
he entered, for being so lazy on his errzind.
Httving heard the clock strike one, they
were shown to_thei_t' bi-ds, where they talked
in n subdued tone, and finally sunk to sleep.
In the morning they were early up, and or-
dered their horse to be harnessed and brought
to the door. Descending to the bar room,
they asked for tlieir bill, and with becoming
promptitttde paid the amount due over to
the bar keeper. The elder I)€l'Ct‘IVIl'lg' the
lanrllord through the window, plztced his
arms upon the bar, and in a serious tone in-
quired of the bar keeper if he would dispose
ofthe old clock. The young man hesitated
—he knew not what to answer. The old
clock seemed to him such a miserable piece.
of furniture, that he had an impression that
it might as well be his as his employet"s, yet
he could not comprehend why such a person
should want such a hideous article. Vtfbile
he was attempting to reply, the good natured
landlord entered, and the question was refer-_
.r._-d to him for an answer. .
‘I wish to purchase that old clock ’-up--'
stairs! VVill you sell it '2’ asl«.'cIl the elder
Yankee, while the younger lighted a cigar,
and cast his eye over the columns of the Stin-
day Morning News, which lay upon the ta-
ble. The landlord, who had set no great
value upon tliegclock, except as an heir loom,
character of \Vashington was formed. Un-
der the tutelage of such a mother, the founda-
tion of a character was laid, which was the
admiration of the generation that was co-
temporary with_him, which has lost nothingl
of its glory to the present time, and will lose}
nothing as long as his memory shall last.
Integrity of ch-iracter !——this is what we
want in the magistracy of the land——in the
senate chamber—in the pulpit—in the neigh-
borhood—in the f.tmily—-everywhere! what
a world this would he were every one upright
——a lover of truth, justice, and equity!-—
VVhat a world it is because these things are
so seldom found l
Here, then, is ample scope for parental
care and watchfulness, for parental energy
and wisdom. ‘Train up a child in the way
he should go, and when he is_old he will not
depart from it,’ was verified in I-Vzishitigton-—
it may be verified in respect to others—.—in re-
spect to mothers, those little immortals whom
began to suspect that it might possess the
virtties of Martin I-It-.~ywood’s chair, and be
filled with dollars; and almost involuntarily,
the three ascended to the room which con-.
tained it.
‘ The fact is.’ said the Yankee, ‘I once
won a hundred dollitrstviih a clock like that l’
' * A, hundred dollars !’ t-jttculatcd the land-
ord. '
=Yesl You see there was one like it in a

‘ You did? You could’nt walk it out of

The clock $tl‘u('l{ eight, and with his back
to the table and the door, the-landlord popped
into a chair-—
