Gentlemen, N
Your note of this date

of the Prox. The several unsuccessful
attempts TO make an election by the peo-
pie, when three candidates were before

ALEssON OF FRUGALITY.

A short time ago venerable old Dutch
gentleman, who had gained great riches
without reproach, resolved to retire for
the remainder Of his days, to his country
seat in Holland. In order to take leave
of his friends and acquaintances in a
handsome m amer, he invited the young
and the old of both sexes (persons Of the
first fashion in the place. to an entertain
ment at his own house. They assembled
in great expectation, but, to their no
small surprise, saw long oak table, on
which were placed platlers Of butter
milk, picked herrings and cheese. The
rest OF the cheer was made up Of butter
and ryebread; and cans Of table beer
were at hand for those who chose 10
drink. The company secretly cursed the
old gentleman's humor; but, on account
Of his great age, and still greater merit,
they restrained their resentment, and ap-
peared contented on their homely fare.
The old gentleman seeing the joke take,
was unwilling to carry il too far-and at
a signal given to the servants, they clear
ed The table and produced second
course. The ryebread was changed to
household brown, the table beer into
strong ale, and the mean food into good
sailed beef and boiled fish. The guests
now grew better pleased, and the mas
ter Of the feast more pressing in his invi-
tations. Alter he had given them time
to taste the second couIse, third was
served up in due form, followed by a
half dozen servants in gaudy liveries,
whilst a profusion Of soups, tame and
wild iowls--in word, all that the art ol
modern cook could produce, courted
the taste and removed the appetite Of the
whole company. To this were added
generous Burgundy, sparkling Cham
paigne, &c. Healths went round, mirth
increased, and at length the old gentle
man rose, and thus addressed the COM
pany:--
"Ladies aud Gentlemen. II thank you
for the favor you have done me, by hon.

When torn is the bosom by sorrow and care.
BE il ever SO simple there's nothing like prayer;
II eases, soothes, softens subdues, yet sustains,
Gives yigor to hope, and puts passion in chains
Prayer, prayer, o sweet prayer.
De it ever so simple, there's nothing like prayer
When FAR from the friends we hold dearest to part,
What fond recoections still cling TO the heart,
Past scenes and past converse past enjoy are
there,
how hur,fully pleasing till hallowed by prayer.
Prayer, prayer, . sweet prayer.
Be it ever SO simple, there's nothing like prayer.
When pleasures would WOO us from piety's arms,
The siren sings sweetIy, or silently charms,
We listen, love. loer, are caught in the snare,
Bot, looking TO Jesus, we conquer by prayer.
Prayer, prayer, sweet prayer,
Be il ever so simple, there's nothing like prayer.
While strangers to prayer We strangers to bliss,
Heaven pours its full streams through no medium
but this;
And ill we shall the serophim's ecstacy share,
Our chalice Of joy mus, he guarded by prayer.
