SWIFT AND HIS SERTANT.

Dean Swift while on journey, and stop
ping at a tavern, desired his servant John
who, by the way was as eccentric as his
master, to bring him his boots. John brought
up the boots in the same state as they were
taken off the evening previous.
why didn't you polish my boots - said
the Dean.
=. There's use in polishing them, re-
piled the man, for they would soon be dirty
again.
"Very true,' said the Dean. and he put on
his boots. Immediately after he went down
10 the landlady, and told her on no account,
to give his servant any breakfast. The Dean
eakfasted, and then ordered the horses out.
As he was about TO start John ran to him in a
great hurry and said
=. Mr. Dean. didn't &c, any breakfast
yet
oh" re piled the witty divine. there's
no use in your breakfasting. for you would
be hungry again.
John finding his theory thrown back upon
himself. submitted to the privation with the
same s,oicsm as did his master with his boots
On they rode. the Dean in front reading his
prayer book, and the man behind at a respect
ful distance. when they were met by gentle

WE HEARD pretty little incident the other
day which We cannot help relating. A young
lady from the south, it seems was wooed and
won by young physician living in Califor-
MIA. When the engagement was made, the
doctor was rich, having been very successful
at San Francisco. 1t had not existed six
months, however, when, by an unfortunate
investment, he lost his entire cheap" The
event came upon i'm just as he was making
ready TO claim his bride. What does he do
Why like an honest and chival Gus young
fellow as he is, he sits down and writes the
lady very particularly of this unhappy turn
which has taken place in his fortune, assur-
ing her that if the fact produced any change
In her feelings towards him, she is released
from every promise she made him. And
what does the dear good girl do1 why she
takes lump Of pure gold which her lover
had sent to her when in prosperity as keep
sake. and having it manufactured into a ring.
forwards it to him with the following Bible
inscription, engraved in distinct characters on
the inside -
'Entreat me not TO leave thee or to return
from following after thee for whittier tn hou
goest | will go. and whittier thou lodgest
will lodge; thy people will be my people.
and thy God my God /; whittier thou diest i
will die; and there will ! be buried the
Lord do SO to me and more also, if aught bu,
death part thee and me-"
The lover idolized his sweetheart more
than ever when he received this precious evi.
dence of her devotion to him, both in Storm
and sunshine.
We may add that fortune again smiled up
on the young physician, and that he subse-
quently returned the north TO wed the
sweet girl be loved. and who loved him with
such undying affection. Nay more, the hap
py bride and bridegroom passed through our
city, not long since, on their way to the house
of the latter in the golden state. Reader, this
is all true. Young ladies who read the Bible
the heroine of our incident seems to have
done, are sure to make good sweethearts and
better wives.-(N. Y. Tribune.
