ANEc AND TRuE-Mr
Frank A.. who was a gentleman o
good qualities and infinite hurnor, used
with much pleasantly to relate the follow.
ing anecdote. as having occurred to him
self when young man: 4 Young ladv
in the neighborhood had won his affections,
and he had commenced paving her his
addresses. During the courtship, he
sometimes supped with the lady's family
when he was always RECALLED with a homely
dish of mush and milk. and being Of a
serious turn, was generally invited to say
the grace over the meal. The supper.
Frank did not take amiss, as the family
OF his fair one was in moderate circum.
stances. and being himself poor he ad-
mired such domestic economy; besides.
he was satisfied, provided he could gain
the affections of his dulcinea "rhe
course Of true love-" II is said" .:never
runs smooth" and Frank chanced to have
rival 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 Franks rival
riding up. Immediately a change came
o'er the substance Of the meal. As if by
magic. the table was cleared Of its load.
and nought renamed to tell the tale but
the clean white cloth In the course of a
snort tlme' however. the table was again
furnished. not as before. but with the suita
ble appendages for making tea. and with
warm bread, such as is hastily baked. and
in common pariance. 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 follow
ing impromptu benedicton:
'The Lord be Praised
How I'm amazed
To see how things have mended:
Here's short cake and tea,
For supper see.
Where mush and milk were intended"
1t is almost unnecessary to add that,
after this grace. Frank never returned to
WOO his lady love. but left her to the un-
disturbed possession of his more forum ate
rival.
