the moral sublimity of George's
act. How well known ii it that
he had virtually received a prom
ise of immunity before-hand?-
Weems retired from the min
istry in 1795 to devote himself to
to the selling, and occasional
writing of books. Though the
first edition of the "Life" ap
peared In 1800, soon after Wash
ington's death, and others follow
ed rapidly, the cherry-tree hatchet
story did not form part of it until
1806. In that year the work was
enlarged and much anecdotal ma
terial added, which was retained
in later editions. Up to his death
in 1825, Weems kept on revising
and embellishing, but this "can
not tell a He" yarn preserved a
uniform wording; its popularity
proved It too good to change.
- Set down In simple English
with a certain infectious enthusi
asm and sincerity of style, despite
exaggerations and platitudes, the
book appealed to the great bulk
of the people, was found In home
schools and workshops through
out seaboard states and out in the
frontier. It was one of the six
or seven books that Abraham Lin
coln read fas a boy. It is said to
have been . the book by an Ameri
can author most read in the first
quarter of the 19 th century.
Without doubt. . Weems . was a
romancer, without training for
history writing, but he was a pro
found admirer pf Washington and
quite possibly believed him to
have been, as represented In the
biography, a "godlike" being, un
der the special direction and pro
tection ot Providence. " When he
tried to impress this belief on a
whole people, he succeeded - jln
part, creating a national "myth"
by which the great general, states
man and president appears as art
ificial, priggish, unhuman. !
In his ; method, Weems ; used
that easy resort of the loose writer
of attributing to anonymous sour
ces many; of his citations.' Thus
one ' finds him. beginning a state
ment as to a trait ot Washington
when a boy with this, "A very
aged gentleman formerly a school
mate of his. has often assured
me; and he uses In like way, "an
excellent lady of Fredericksburg."
This Is probably designed to clear
him from responsibility for inac
curacy. While at the same time
protecting his alleged Informants
from criticism and backfire.
But to! that story-
According to the book Itself, at
some time before the cherry tree
suffered, George's, father had ex
patiated j to him upon the virtue
of truth and the evil of lying.
Then this, direct from Weems,
following the father's discourse,
spelling and punctuation as In the
book:
"Pa," said George very serious
ly, "do I ever tell lies?"
'No, George, I thank God you
do not, my son; and I rejoice In
the hope you never will. At least
you shall never, from me, have
cause to be guilty of so shameful
a thing. Many parents, indeed,
even compel their .children to this
vile practice, by barbarously beat
ing: them for every little fault:
hence, on the next offense, the
little terrified creature slips out
a lie! Just to escape the rod. But
ts to yourself, George, you know
I have always told you, and now
tell you 'again, that, whenever by
accident, you do anything wrong,
which must often be the case, as
you are but a poor little boy yet,
without experience or knowledge,
you must never tell a falsehood
to conceal it: but come bravely
up, 'my son, like a man, and tell
me of It: and, Instead of beating
you, George, I will but the more
honour and love you, my dear."
A few paragraphs further, after
a story on the authority pf an un
named "excellent lady," comes
that narration that has been held
up as a model for, and been the
despair of. youthful America
these . hundred odd years.' How
the story has grown through suc
cessive generations! All sorts of
fantastic frills have been added
to it. No such desecration Is ven
tured here as inserting quotation
marks or otherwise changing
Weems original version.
The following anecdote is a case
in point. It is too valuable to be
lost, and too true to be doubted;
for it was communicated to me by
the same excellent lady to whom
I am Indebted for the last.
"When George," said she. "was

about six years old, he was made
the wealthy master of a hatchet!
of which, like most little boys, he
was Immoderately fond; and was
constantly going about chopping
everything that came' in his way.
One day. In the garden, where he
often amused himself hacking his
mother's pea-sticks, he unluckily
tried the edge of his hatchet on
the body of a beautiful young
English cherry-tree, which he
barked so terribly, that I don't be
lieve the tree ever got the better
of it. The next morning the old
gentleman, finding out what had
befallen his tree, which, by the
way, was a great favourite, came
into the house; and with much
warmth asked for the mischievous
author, declaring at the' same
time, that be would not have tak
en five guineas for his tree. No
body could - tell him anything
about it. Presently George and
his hatchet made their appear
ance. "George," said his father,
"do you know who killed that
beautiful little cherry tree yonder
in the garden?"' This was a tough
question; and George staggered
under it for a moment; but quick
ly recovered himself: and looking
at his father, with the sweet face
of youth brightened with the Inex
pressible charm of all-conquering
truth, he bravely cried out, "I
can't tell a He, Pa; you know I
can't tell a lie. I did cut it with
my hatchet." Run to my arms,
you dearest boy, cried his father
in transports, run to my arms;
glad am I, George; that you killed
my tree;' for you have paid, me
for it a thousand fold. Such an
act of heroism in my son Is more
worth than a thousand trees,
though blossomed with silver, and
their fruits of purest gold.
May not Weems have intended
Augustine Washington, rather
than George, to , be the paragon
of this story for did he not keep
his word despite provocation,
while George, knowing his "Pa"
of old, felt perfectly safe?
