WITHHOLDING o R

Between eighty and ninety years ago.
there lived, in the Connecticut River
Valley two farmers, M of whom vas
named Hunt, and the other Clark. The
former in early life, had been a man OF
strong will aud somewhat hasty and vi
client temper. Sometimes he had been
seen beating his oxen over their heads
with the handle of his whip, in a way to
excite the pity Of the bystanders, and
when expostulated with, he excused him
self by saying that he had the most frac-
tious team in town. By-and- by, an al
teration took place in the temper of far
ner Hunt. He became mild, forebear-
ing, and, what was most remarkable, his
oxen seemed to improve in disposition at
an equal pace with himself.
Fa mer Hunt joined the church, and
was an exemplary man. His neighbors
saw the change both in himself and his
team. 1t was a marvel to the whole
town. One of his townsmen asked him
for an explanation. Farmer Hunt said:
Il have found out a secret about my
cattle. Formerly they were unmanagea-
BILE. The more l whipped and dubbed
them, the worse they acted. But now,
when they are contrary, L go behind my
load, sit down, and sing Old Hundred
and strange as it may appear, no sooner
have I ended, than the oxen go along as
quietly as l could wish. l don't know
how it is, bat they really seem to like
singing
In the course of a few years, the two
farmers we're chosen deacons ofthe church,
and they both adorned their profession.
About the time of their election, a grie-
vous famine prevailed in the valley, and
the farmers generally were laying up
their corn to plant the ensuing season.
a poor man, living in the town, went to
Deacon Hunt and said:
Il have come to buy a bushel of corn,
Here is the money. 1t is about all I
can gather
The Deacon told him he could not
spare a bushel for love or money. He
was keeping double the usual quantity
for seed corn the next year, and had to
stint his own family. The man urged
his suit in vain. At last he said:
Deacon, if you don't let me have the
corn, l shall curse you
Curse mel replied the Deacon, How
dare you do SOP
Because said the man, 'the Bible
says So
Nonsense exclaimed Deacon Hunt;
there is no such thing in the Bible
Yes there is replied the poor man.
WELL said the Deacon, if you can
ind any such text, I'll give you a bushel
of corn
They vent into the house, when the
poor man went to the old family Bible,
turne | to Prov. XII, &c, and read
He that withholdest Gro, the people
shall curse him but blessings shall be
upon the head of him that selleth it,
The Deacon was fairly caught.
Come along said he, and [ will be
as good as my word
He took him to the courthouse, meas
ured out a full bushel of corp, helped
the man to put it into his bag, assisted
him to put it or his shoulder, and, just
before his departure, being somewhat of
a wag, he said, with a twinkle of the
eye,
Il say, n~eighbor, after you have car
ried this corr home, 60 up to Deacon
Clark, and curse him out of another
bushel.'
