When George Washington was a boy, a beautiful cherry tree was killed in his father's garden, by some violent hand stripping its bark. Mr. Washington said he would not have taken five guineas for the tree, and he would like to know the offender. Shortly after, seeing George with an axe in his hand, he asked him if he knew who had killed the cherry tree. George hesitated for a moment, then said, "I cannot tell a lie, father, I cannot tell a lie. I cut it with the hatchet." "Come to my arms," said his father; "you have paid for it a thousand times." Such an act of heroism in telling the truth he valued more than a thousand cherry trees. 1998 Hundreds would never have known _want_ if they had not first known _waste_. --_Spurgeon._ 1999 He who plays with dollars in his youth, will be apt to have to beg for farthings in his age. --_Hone._ 2000 When you take out, and do not put in, expect to reach the bottom. --_Modern Greek._ 2001 EXPLANATION OF THE WATER-CURE.
