In1S2S, there lived in Burligton county,
n. j., Quaker preacher by the name OF
Abraham =, very mild, pleassnt-spok-
en- person, who bad beautiful and accom-
plished daughter Of the name of Patience.
There were several young men in the
neighborhood who were very anxious to win
the lovely Patience. Among them was one
by the name of David g., who was
thought to be the favorite of both father
and daughter, and get nothing had passed
that could be considered as an engage
ment. One morning, as Da7id was about
to leave, having passed the night at uncle
Abraham's, as he was Familiarity called,
his horse was brought to the door, most of
the family being there 10 see him start
The animal became very restless, and it
was some time before he could get upon
his back; he got out of patience, and
struck the horse several cuts with his whip.
Uncle Abraham looked at David very seri-
ously and said, "David, thee should have
patience" "Uncle Abraham, / will, il |
can get her," was the immediate reply.
Patience consented, and Uncle Abraham
blessed them on the spot, and he ofen
laughed at the way David caught him.
