A Story That Confirms the Anecdote ol
the Little Hntchet.

n story Th2t CONFIRMS the Anecdote OF
the Little Ratchet.
There is story told of George
Washington's boyhood-unfortuaately
there are not many stories-which is to
the point. His father had taken a great
deal of pride in his blooded horses, and
his mother afterward took great pains
to keep the stock pure. She had sew.
eral young horses that had not yet been
broken, and one of them in particular,
a sorrel, was extremely spirited. No
one had been able to do anything with
it, and it was pronounced thoroughly
vicious, as people are apt to pronounce
horses which they have not learned to
master. George was determined to
ride this colt, and told his companions
that if they would help him catch it, he
would ride and tame it.
Early in the morning they set out for
the pasture, where the boys managed
to surround the sorrel and then to put
bit into its mouth. Washington sprang
on its back. the boys dropped the bride
and away few the angry animal. Its
rider at once began to command, the
horse resisted, backing about the field,
rearing and plunging. The boys be.
came thoroughly alarmed, but WASH
ington kept his seat. never once losing
his self-control or his mastery of the
colt. The struggle was sharp one;
when suddenly, as If determined to rid
itself of its rider, the creature leaped
into the air with tremendous bound.
1t was its last. The violence burst a
blood-vessel, and the noble horse fell
dead.
Before the boys could sufficiently re.
cover to consider how they should ex-
tricate themselves from the scrape.
they were called to breakfast; and the
mistress of the house. knowing that they
had been in the fields, began to ask
after her stock.
''Pray. young gentlemen" said she,
shave you seen my blooded colts in
your rambles? / hope they are well
taken care of. Ny favorite, i am told.
is as large as his sire {"
The boys looked at one another, ana
no one liked to speak. Of course the
mother repeated her question.
''The sorrel is dead. madam" said
her son. II killed himr'
And then he. told the whole story.
They say that his mother flushed with
anger, as her son often used to. and
then, like him. controlled herself, and
presently said, quietly:
lit is well; but while I regret the
loss of my favorite, rejoice in my SON
who always speaks the truth. "-Heze-
