that reformed rake makes the best OF hus-

contrary has happened. Form the firstpluce,
If the maxim were true, it is far from GER

The vanity Of an enamorcd female may fat

reformation; it must 60 deeper than that
which is only the momentary effect of an
impetuous passion; it must extend to the
moral Principle; tothe whole mode of think

the best interest of others to personal graft

of triiling with the happiness of fellow

female sex. Lastly, in marrying rake
there are many chances to one that woman
marries a druakard or a ganes'er; and these
are perhaps the only vices that are never to

ANECDoTE.--Origital and t,ue-Mr.
Frankly who was gentleman of
good parts and infinite humor, used with
much pleasantly to relate the following
anecdote, as having occurred to himself
when a young man. A young lady IN the
neighborhood had won his affections, and
he had commenced paying her his address,
es. During the courtship he sometime sup
ped with the lady's family, when he was al
ways regaled with homely dish of milk
and mush, and being of a serious turn, was
generally invited to say grace over the
meal. The supper Frankly did not take
amiss, as the family ofthe fair one was in
but moderate circumstances, and being him
self poor, he admired much domestic econo-
my; besides, he was satisfied, provided he
could obtain the affections of his duIclna.
'The course oftrue love- it is said, 'never
runs smooth and Franky CHANGED to have
a rival who was much richer than himself.
One evening when he was visiting his
charmer, after the board had been spread
with the frugal meal of mush and milk, but
before the family had taken their seats at
the table, some one spied Franky's rival
riding up.-ImmediateIy "a change came
DER the substance of the NEAL As if BY
magic, the table was cleared of its load, and
nought remained to tell the tale, but the
clean white cloth. In the course of short
time however, the table was again furnish
ed, not as before, but with the suitable ap-
penduges for making tea, aud with warm
bread, such as is hastily baked, and in com.
mon parlance called short CAKE When
all was ready as was the custom brother
A. was invited to say grace, who
with due solemnity, hands folded, and eyes
closed, pronounced the following inlpromp
tu benediction:
THE Lord be praised,
How Pm amazed,
To see how things have mended;
Here's short cake and tea,
For supper see,
Where mush and milk was intended
1t is almost unnecessary to add, that after
this grace, Frankly never returned to WOO his
| lady love, but left her to the undisturbed
possession of his more fortunate rval.-Co-
