Washington at School.

Having no longer the benefit of a fathers in
structions at home, and the scope of tuition of
Hobby, the SEXTON being too limited for the
growing wants of his pupil, George was now
sent to reside with Augustine Washington, at
Bridges Greek, and enjoy the benefit Of su-
perior school in that neghborhood kept by a
Mr.. Williams. His education however was
plain and practical. He never attemted the
learned languages, nor manifested any inclina-
ton for rhetoric or bellies letters. His object
or the object of his friends, seems to have been
confined to fitting him for ordinary business
His manuscript school looks still exist, and
are models of neatncss and accuracy.
One OF them, it is true, a cipherihg book,
preserved in the library at Mount Vernon
has some scbool-boys attempts at callisraphy !;
nondescrpt birds, executed with a flourish of
the pen, or profilcs of faces probably intended
for those Of his school mates; the rest are all
grave and business like. b. fore he was thir-
forms for all kinds of merchantlc and legal pa
pers; bills of exchange, notes Of hand, deeds,
bonds and the like This earthly self-tuition
gave him throughout life lawyers's skill in
drafting documents and merchants cxactncss
in keeping accounts, so that all the concerns of
various estates, his dealings with his domestic
stewards and foreign agents, his accounts with
government, and all his financial transactions
are to this day to be seen posted up in books
in his own handwriting, monuments of his
method and unwearied accuracy.
He was a self disciplinarian in physical as
well as mental matters and practiced himself
in all kinds of athletic exercises, such as run
ming, lcaping, wrestling, pitching quots and
tossing bars. His frame even in infancy had
been large and powerful, and he now excelled
most of his playmates in contest Of agility and
strength. As a proof Of his muscular powe, a
place is still pointed out at Fredel icksburg,
near the lower ferry, where when boy
he flung stone across the Rappahannock
In horsemanship too he already exceled, and
was ready to back and able to manage the most
fiery steed. Traditional anecdotes remain of
his achievements in this respect.
Above all, his inherent probity and the prin-
ciples ofjustce on which he regulated all his
conduct even at this early period of his life,
were soon appreciated by his school-matcs; he
was referred to as an umpire in their disputes,
and his decisions were never reversed As he
was afterwards military chicftain, so was he
legislator OF the school thus displaying in boy
hood type Of the future man.
The American patriot., 1855-08-04
Cheerfulness.

think we are too ready with complaint
In this fair world of Gods. Had we no hope
Indeed beyond the zenith and the scope
Ofyon gray blank Of sky we might be fain
To muse upon cternity's constraint
Round our asprant souls But since the scope
Must widen early, is it well to droop
For few days. consumed in los, and faintP
y, pusillanimous heart be comforted!
And like cheerful traveller, take the road,
Singing behind the hedge What if the bread
Be bitter in thine inn, and thou unshod
To meet the flnts? At least it may be said,
"Becausc the way is short, thank thee, God ~
