Life Of Washington

 Wilson
 President
 of the United States
Continued from Yesterday

He had led the armies of the wnoie country; had been the chief instru, meIt of new nation in winning inde' pendence; had carried it's affairs by his own counsels as no other man had done; had seen through all the watches of those long campaigns the destinieS and the hope that were at stake. Now he saw the crowding i'm migrants come into The west with new solicitude he had not felt before.
 A new vision was in his thought.
 This western country was now
 rising world" to be kept or lost, husbanded or squandered. by the raw nation he had helped put upon it's feet His thought was stretched at last to a continental measure; prob tens of statesmanship that were na. tional, questions of policy that had scope great as schemes of empire, stood foremost in his view. He returned home more engrossed than ever by interests not his own, but central to public affairs, and Of the very stuff of politics.
 A Stream of Letters.
 And so not the letters merely which poured in with every mail, not only his host of visitors, great and small the governor of the state, the presi-
 dent of congress, foreign noblemen,
 soldiers, dipIomatists, travellers, neigh
 bors. friends, acquaintances, intruders but his own unbidden thoughts as well, and the very suggestions of his lsoKn interest as a land citizen and i landowner, drew him from his dreams of retirement and forced him upon the open stage again.
 i Gives Up Hunting.
 Even hunting ceased before many tseasons were out. The savage boar
 hounds which Lafayette had sent, in
 his kindness. from the Old World.
 proved too fierce and great a breed
 for even the sharp sport with the gray
 fox; the old hunting companions were gone-the Fairfaxes. over sea; Belvoir deserted and burned; George Mason too much engaged-none but boys and
 strangers left to ride with.
 Twas poor sport, after all, without
 the right sportsmen. It must needs lgive way before statesman's cares. -I 4 New Sense of Responsibility. : Upon his first homecoming, Wash , ington had found it hard to break himself of his habit of waking very l early in the morning with a sense of ! care concerning the affairs of the day, as if he were still in camp and in the midst of public duties.
 Now a new sense of responsibility
 possessed him, and more and more , gained aseendency over him. He be
 gan to feel a deep anxiety lest 8 weak 2 government should make independ. f snce little better than a reproach. and ] the country should fall into a hope F. less impotency.
 l At first he had been very sanguine 1 Notwithstanding the jealous and con
 tracted temper which seems to pre-
 vail in some of the states" he wrote
 to Jonathan Trumbull in January t7S4, yet l cannot but hope and be ! Heve that the good sense of the peopi. T wiu ultimately get the better of thsil ? prejudices, and that order and sound ]. policy, though they do not come s' |, soon as one could wish. will be pro l. duced from the present unsettled ant ,, deranged state of public affairs. }. Everything. my dear Trumbull, vii n come right at last. as we have oftel s prophesied. My only fear is that ", s- shall lose a little reputation first" But the more Washington observe ! the temper of the time. the more UT easy he grew.
 fl like young heir" he cried, "com if a. little prematurely to a large inner ,r tance, we, shall wanton and run rio s pntil we have brought our reputatip e to the brink of ruin. and then. fix O him. shall have to labor with the cul
