CHAPTER XXII.

GOOD HABITS AND GOOD MANNERS TAUGHT
BY EXAMPLE,

TuEre is no name in the annals of any
country more revered than that of George
Washington, the first President of the
United States, It is a matter of interest to
inquire how he became so good and great,
and how he obtained such a desirable repu-
tation; how he was able to do so much good
to his country and to mankind; how he was
qualified to leave behind him so excellent an
example ; how he acquired that great wisdom
which guided him in life, and prepared him
for death ; which made him, like Moses in
‘ancient days, the leader of a nation through
a wilderness of trial and suffering and dan-
ger,—and now that he has been dead for
many years, renders him still the teacher,
not only of the United Statesybut of all the
civilized world.
