ANECDOTE.

Some time during the years 1917 and 'l3,
when considerable anlmosty existed be-
tween the people of Canada and the States,
and when some of the British subjects, who
were "drcssed with little brief authority"
looked upon the Yankees as little better
than brutcs, the following is said to have
taken place at the custom house at st. Johns.
A Yankee of considerable dimensions en-
tered the Office an informed the officer that
he wished to enter his load and receive Il
passport. The officer cast a sarcastic look
at him, and said that it was customary for
people when they entered his Office to re-
ceive passports, to take of their hats and re-
qucsted him to do SO instantly.
"No, thank YOU" said the Yankee, III
paid fur dollars for that hat to keep my
head and cars warm
"You impertincnt puppy" says the officer
working himsclfinto considerable of pas
sion show dare you insult me! Off with
your hat Immediately"
NO sir can't do it, keeps my head proper
warm.
After several orders of similar kind, ac-
companied with curses and threats, which
met with no better success, he steps up TO
him and gave his hat blow that sent it to
the adjacent corner of the room. The
Yankee paid no attention to this, but waited
patiently until he had received his passport,
folded and deposited it safely within his wal
let, and was ready to pursue hls journey,
when turning to the officer he requested him
to pick up his hat and place it upon his head.
The officer much wroth ordered him to
leave the Office or he might get into trouble,
for he did not often make words with men of
his description.
Il say mister says the Yankee, you
must pick up my hat and that too in just one
minutes time, or feel the weight Of these
death mauls,' shaking his fists rather nearer
his lordships head than was agreeable.
The officer raved and sworc all to no ef-
feet, and finally threatened to cane him if no
did not depart.
Mister, says the yankee, time flies con-
siderable kinder fast and at the same time
beginning to unbutton his coat, and you
had better be going after that hat
After several more threats, which had tho
desired effect upon his opponent, and the
time set being nearly expired he sneaked of
and picking up the hat offered it to the own
err but he was not satisfied with that, and
ordered him to place it on his head precisely
as he found it. The officer hesitatcd, but
seeing the determination Of the yankee, ho
, set it upon his head, and was abont to de-
part, when be was collarcd and ordered to
place it as he found it.
Here says the yankee, tuck this ear un-
| der, now the other one, pull it down little
, n,vro in fiuut, &C, all of which orders tho
officer reluctantly obeyed. There sir, that's
about right, says the farmer, 'and now
friend, before leave l will give You word
! of good advice never mcddle with yam
KEGS hat unless YOU are prepared to take a
peep into tuturty. Good day sir.

THE WIDOW.

1t was cold and bleak evening in a most Sc
we're winter The snow was driven by the iu-
rious north wind. Few dared or were willing to
venture abroad. 1t was a night that tie poor
will not soon forget.
In most miserable and shattered tenement
somewhat remote from any other habtation there
then resided an aged widow, all alone, and yet
not all alone,
During the weary day in her excessive weak
ness, she had not been able to step beyond the
door. Her last morsel Of abroad had been con-
sumed and none needed her restitution. She
sat at evening, by her small fire, half famished
with hunger-and from exhaustion unable to
sleep-preparing to meet her fate from which
she knew not how she should be spared
She prayed that morning." Give Inc this day
my daily bread" but the shadows of evening had
descended upon her,and her prayer had not been
answered.
While such thoughts were passing through
her weary mind she heard the door suddenly
open and shut again and found desposted in hel
entry by an unknown hand basket crowded
with all those articles of comfortable food which
had the sweetness Of mama to her.
What were her feelings on that night Coo
only knows bat they were such as rise up t.
him, the Great Deliverer from ten thousan'
hearts every day.
Many days ELAPSED before the widow Learned
through what messenger God had sent that time
ly aid, 1t was at the impulse of a little child
who on that dismal Preside of her home, was lee
to express the generous wish that the poor widow
whom she had sometimes visited, could shar,
