Have you ever heard of my aunt
Jemima Grundy, who lived liz the
west parish OF Grundyville? She was
one OF the finest women in all those
parts, and most remarkable for her
good nature; and | do not know that
we ought to be much surprised at it,
for my grandmother, who knew her
well from her infancy, has often de-
clared that she was ssthe most re-
markab!est child she ever seed" You
must not laugh at her grammar, for
she lived in a part of the country
when she was young where they had
no school. | must say, however, that
poor as her grammar was, she was an
uncommonly observing and sensible
woman. My aunt Jemima lived and
died with this reputation. Every body
loved her, and for one very good rea-
son, she loved every body. No one
ever heard her speak an angry or un-
kind word. She was an excellent
house-keeper too, and every thing, as
the people always said, looked in apple
pie order at her house. But still when
we children used to visit her on a
saturday afternoon, and almost turn
the house upside down, she never
scolded. When my uncle, who was
rather a cross grained man, as they
say, seemed angry enough to whip US,
she would reply, why husband chill
dren will be children, we were chill
dren ourselves once, and then she
would set things right again in very
few minutes. Scolding, said she, ,Oont
do them any good, nor make the
hearth clean, nor me happy.
One ofmy aunt Grundy's most Sc
we're trials was her husband. He was,
as limited, what men sometimes call,
a knurly crooked stick, and was al
ways restless and dissatisfied. He put
me in mind Of story | once heard OF
a gentleman who heard noise in the
woods, and upon going to ascertain
tne cause, 1Ound 1t was q STICK SO
crooked that it could not lie still.
have often wondered at the providence
]of God, which frequently, and for
wise purposes, unites persons of such
|discordant materials. BY the by, this
was one reason why aunt Jemima &C.
cepted his proposal. She had known
zthim from his childhood, and said she
