4 Gldss-eatcr.---A farmer, named

on "Wednesday last at an inn in Taunton,
undertook, for a wager OF S., to cal an
ordinary sized glass RUNNER This ex-
traordinary task he actually performed
in about twenty minutes, To the astonish-
ment Of those present. In the course of
this performance, the difficulties of The
feat were sufficiently atlestcd by the co..
pious ofusiou of blood which flowed
from his mouth. The stem of The glass
oceasioned some delay in the compile

The performer resolntely offered To 90

a quart jug, of earthenwarc, which was
then before them but the landlord OF
the inu, becoming reasonably alarmed
for all bis crockcry, secured II from the

he suffered from his undertaking are
those watch he might have approbendcd
from an excessive dose of Epson salts.

THE REPOSITORY.
THE QUAKER.

In beautiful village on the banks of the ri
yer Avon, not far distant from Stratford, the
birth place of the immortal Shakespeare, there
lived benevolent Quaker, named Steady he
was rich. and his utmost delight was to see the
villagers happy. Being great admrer Of learn
ing, he was sorry to see any of his fellow men,
however lowly their station, stepped in ignorance:
he was therefore at the expense Of supporting
free school, at which all the poor children of the
nelghbolhood were educated; and every May
day rewards were given to those who succeeded
best in their various studies. Questions were
also proposed, and he who was skilled enough
to expound these questions received a sum of
money as marriage portion with the girl he
loved, provided he had, or was likely to obtain,
her parents consent; and it very seldom occur
red that any father mother refused their con
sent. if good Mr.. Steady asked it : he was, in
short, the blessing Of his tenantry, and every
body loved him.
In this village there lived farmer whose
name was Easy, and it seemed as if his name
was part of himself: he was a good natured,
quiet man. and so careless in his disposition
that if his corn did but grow, and his hay was
got in well, he was merry the day was
long If there came an Indifferent season, he
contented himself with hoping the next would
be better. So long as he had mug Of ale and
a nap in the corner after dinner, he cared little
how the world went on: whether the nation was
rich or poor. at peace or at war; whether times
were good or bad, all was the same to farmer
Easy. He took ever thing in good heart, whilst
his wife, Dame Cicely, ruled the roast what
ever she proposed the farmer replied, eyes,
sure, if thee likest, dame"
Farmer Easy had one daughter called Gillian,
a very pretty girl, admired by the whole village.
Mr.. Steady had often noticed her modest art
less manner, and proposed to her father and
mother that she should become his wife; they
were both highly delighted at this proposal
Dame Cicely was almost out of her wits with
JOY. to have her daughter the mistress Of the
great house, ride in her own coach. and be her
self dressed out in fine clothes Oh, how charm
ing! She looked in the glass to see what colours
were the most becoming TO her complexion .
and determined that her dress on the day of her
daughters wedding should be the gayest that
had ever been seen in the village Of Mayhnry :;
she would wear pink silk petticoat, and blue

lest she should offend her master, who had been
very kind to her father and mother yet she
thought it very odd SO good man shoulddo such
wicked thing as to force young creature TO
marry him against her will and feeling certain
that if it were her case she would run away
from him. She thought too it was better Gillian
should run away before her marriage than after,
and determined to try some way or other to
serve her.
"What do you cry for, Miss Gillian" said she
as she entered the room. "I'snt it enough 10
make any one cry, Florctta? Am | not going
to be married % 1.-The thought of going to be
married makes most girls laugh and be merry"
Gay, that is when they are going to marry the
man they like. Heigho! you have no pity for me,
Floretta, or you would find out some way to
help me-" g What fault have you to find with
MIR. Steady? he is very good man" OH
yes, know that; SO is a haystack very good,
but don't see why | should be obliged to eat

she would suit him better by half than me. -
Why don't you tell him?' 6 So would if
thought he would not be angry: suppose Flo
retta, was to tell him he is very disagreeable,
and that hate the very sight Of him do you
think he would let me marry Lubin ?? Sc 1t
would be a curious mode of counting his favor;
but really think something should be done
But what can keep 1ubn so long? he ought to
have been back two months ago. Suppose we
were to get somebody to go to him. and find out
if he is faithful, and if he is" +" 0 my dear,
dear Floretta, that is the very thing have been
thinking of; but did not know who ID trust !;
but what does it matter now we could not
hear in time to prevent my marrying Mr.. Stea-
dy ~ "Why that is true; let me see, have
it can't you contrive to be taken i'll on May
day morning ? and then the wedding must be
put off, you know" 81 don't know never
was i'll but when had the hopping cough ; but
if you'll tell me what to do" Why. then,
in the first place you must faint away, and then
I'll scream for help, and throw jug of cold
water over you, and rub your temples with
hartshorn, and burn feathers under your nose,
and below, say you are dying, and irigh
ten my poor master out of his seventeen senses"
Gillian was in raptures to find Floretta her
friend and while the latter left her to seek out
some one who could be trusted as a messenger
to seek Lubn, she, like bird just let out Of a.
cage, was gaily singing
Again feel my bosom bound;
My heart sits lightly on its seat
My all in rapture drown'd,
In every pulse pleasures beat
When Mr.. Steady came to inquire how she liked
her wedding clothes &C should like them We
ry well, said Gillian, if were going to be mar
red to Lubn" {" And wherefore, Gillian,
