An authentic Anecdotc of George Washington
ain 1777, while the American Army lay
at Valley Forge, good old Quaker, by the
name of Potts, had occasion to pass through
thick wood, near Head Quarters. AS he
traversed the darl; brown Forest, he heard
at distance before him, a voice, which, as
he advanced, became more and mere fervcd
and interesting. pproaching with SLOW
ness and CirCumspection, whom should he
behold, under thick set bower, apparently
formed for the purpose, but the Comman-
lcr-n- Chief of the Armies of the United
States, Oh his knees, in an act of devotion, to
the Ruler of the Universe. At the moment
when Friend Potts, who was concealed by
/ the trees, came up, Washington was inter-
ceding for his beloved Country, with tones
of gratitade that abourcd for adequate cx-
pres on, lie adorcd that cXuberant good
ness, which from the depth Of oiscuiity, had
exalted him to the head of great Nation,
and that Nation fighting at fearful odds, for
all the world holds dear. He utterly dis
claimed his own ability for this arduous con-
hict. He wcpt at Tie thought of the ruin
which his mistakes might bring on his
Country, and with a patriots pathos
spreading the interests of unborn millions
before the eye of Eternal Mercy he implor.
ed the aid of that Arm which guilds the star
nv hosts! Soon as the General had finished
his devotions, Friend Potts retired. lie re
turned to his house and threw himself into I
chair, by the side of his wife, under the in
iiuencc of feelings, which, for a time, refused
him utterancc. Heigh'--lfcigh, Isaac! sait
