The first surprise was scarcely over, with
a what's to be done, who shall tell this tale,
when the party were summoned to the NOR
ning's meal. A conversation the most NAL
apropos to the youthful culprits, became in
troduced by the natron's asking, Pray young
gentlemen, have you seen my blooded colts
in your rambles, hope they are we'll taken
care Of; my favouritc, l am told, is as large
as his sire. Considerable embarrassment
being observable, the lady repeated her
question, when George Washington replied,
Your favorite, the sorrel, is dead, madam
Dead, exclaimed the lady, why how has this
happened? Nothing dismayed the Chief
continued, That sorrel has long been con-
sidcrcd ungovernable, and beyond the power
of man to back or ride him; this morning,
aided by my friends. we forced bit into his
mouth, l backed him, rode him, and in a
desperate struggle for the mastery, he fell
under me and died upon the spot


The hectic of moment, was observed to
flush on the matron's cheek, but, like sum
mer cloud, it soon passed away, and all was
serene and tranquil when she remarked, 1t
is WE'LL but while regret the loss of my ia
yorite, Irejoice in my son, 7pho Always tells
the truth.


At the time of this occurrence, the figure
Of the Chief is described BY his cotempora-
ries, as being that of the Athlete OF the
Games. Although of manners, somewhat
grave and reserved, he indulged in the gale
ties common to the youth of that period; par
ticnlarly cxceled in all the manly exercises,
sought the companionship of the intelligent
and deserving; and was beloved and admired
by all who knew him."
