Mount Vernon vas inherited by his
brother. Lawrence, while the few
acres on the Rappahannock were to
be given George upon his becoming
of age, though as a matter OF fact he
never claimed them. His sensible
brother, Lawrence, and his half
brother, Augustine, disapproved of the
easy life of the sons of planters and
many animated discussions were held
as to the future Of their young
brother.
Meantime, George was living with
his half-brother. Augustine, though
later he spent much time at Mount
Vernon with Lawrence. 1t was while
there that a family council resulted
in the decision that George was to
follow the sea. When the news
reached Mrs. Washington. however,
she was so upset that she hurried to
Mount Vernon and begged her son
to give up the idea of becoming a mid
shipman. Accordingly. the small
chest OF George, which had already
been placed aboard a British vessel.
was brought ashore.
1t was many a day before the lad
overcame his disappointment. His
brother Lawrence comforted him with
the assurance, There are many roads
in life; only n is barred to you"
With characteristic bravery George
never spoke of the matter to any one
again.. for Is was his custom to the
day Of his death, Washington never
required to a thing when once con

1t was after this disappointment
that he turned his attention more

VARIOUS EMOTIONS OF LOVE

Swedenborg says that in its early

sex. Even in babyhood girls may show
a decided preference for men. Love
of a whole sex is already awake in
them, but they are rarely devoted to
n man to the exclusion of all others,
writes Richard c. Cabot In the Allan
tic. A newcomer is especially well
coined. This means that their love is
at first general and vague, though later
1t may attach itself to one Individual
and cleave to him, forsaking all others.
This lesson we sometimes fail to learn.
We then remain impersonal and desire
the emotions of love, as many people
desire the emotions of music, without
any awareness of an individual or of
the meaning Of the piece. To yield to

crime to drink In music merely as
pleasure; indeed. for most people It
cannot be a crime because they know
no better. But it is always a CHASTITY
mistake, for 1t is treating music,
which is a bit Of a persons life, as o
