A foreigner reading this Anecdose
would say, ~ith . sneer, Just like the
nation OF shop-keepers~
Yes, very likely two prudeni English-
men But economy, not mIseriipess,
prompted them.
A few years after, the nation being in
a financial straight, Mr.. Pitt appealed to
men of fortune To contribute beyond the
rate of their taxes. On the first day after
the appeal 10000 was contributed in
London alone. That junior parter con-
tributed, in the name OF the firm, flO, 900.
When, on his return to the factory, he
told, with some hesitation, the senior
what he had done, the reply was
"You might have as we'll made it GEO.
900 while you were about it."
Possibly the foreigner might get it into
his brain that the very quality Of mind
which LED the two partners to discuss an
advance of one shilling, made it possible
for them to give 10000 to their country.
The senior partner, whose name was
Yates, had a little daughter named Ellen
She soon became a favOrite with the
Woodworking, reserved young Peel. On
returning home from the print. works, he
would take her upon his knee, and say to
her,
smelly, thou bonny little dear, wilt be
my wife2"
To which pleasant speech the child
would answer, "Yes."
"Then III wait for thee, Nelly; I'll
wed thee and none else"
The shy young man was true to his
promise. He waited hopefully, though
long. Fifteen years after, when six
thousand human beings were dependent
upon himself and his firm, he married
the little Nelly who had sat upon his
knee. Quite romance this for q cold,
shy calico.printer!
When his eldest son was born, the re-
served man, and he was unusually shy,
even for an Englishman, went to his
closet, and falling on his knees, vowed
before God that he would give that son
to his country, and would train him for
her service. The son became Prime Min
lister of England.
Incidents such as these indicate the
depth of earnestuess and the intensity of
sentiment hidden by the shy, reserved
manner Of Englishmen.
