A DIFFERENCE-Jim had read the well-known
story of George Washington's love of truth, and
the fathers love of the noble principle of his son.
so well manifested the occasion referred to, of
Georges cutting downthe cherry tree, acknowledging
his transgression, and receiving full and free
PARDON bes ides praises and kind from his
father. So jim actuated by the noble example,
supplied himself with Ratchet, and going to His
fathers orchard cut down some choice fruit trees
He then coolly sat down to await the old mans
coming, and, as soon as he made his appearance,
marched up to him with very important air and
acknowledged the deed expecting the next thing
on the programme to be tears, benediction and
embraces from the offended parent But, sad to
relate, instead of this, the old gentleman caught
up hickory and gave him an ';,lI-fred lamming."
