Dinner of FL FIynt.

1t came 10 pass that in the first week
of the moon a close-fisted merchant, Ell
F1ynt, received an invitation to dine at
the house of Effendi, the good Governor.
Now, it happened when FL Flynt ar
rived at the royal mansion that the Gov
ernor had been called in haste to a re-
mote part of the kingdom. and departing,
had instructed that Ell Flyn should be
entertained regardless of expense.
Thereupon, on hearing this. the close
listed merchant ordered a costly banquet
and ended by requesting dish of fifty
strawberries.
1t happened. also that it was the cold
season, and Strawberries were listed at
four dollars each, or two hundred dollars
for fifty.
The good Efendi returning unexpected
~ heard of the extravaganza of FL
F'lynt. but ne spake not, hiding his time.
And on the day following the banquet
FL F1ynt was taken with an illness Of
rheumatism. which sometimes appears
with the strawberry season.
Therefore. he sent for a physician who.
intercepted by Efendi, nevertheless came
and ministered unto the sick man, say
ing:
"El Flynt. no man may span beyond
his years, and thy time is come But
Ell Flynt cried in terror, saying:
Nay. not 50; if thou wilt but maxi
me well I viii pay thee one thousand
dollars"
And even thus II was done; and FL
Flynt walked whole on the fifth day.
Thereupon he paid to the physician the
sum az one thousand dollars This wes
divided between Enendi and the physi-
clan. in manner that the Governor was
paid two-foId for his dinner and the ply
stefan received a suitable reward, be-
sides free pass to ride inward or out
ward through ny gate OF the city.
1t is the province Of the wise reader 10
deduce his own moral from this tale, pos
siblv thuswise:-That the return Of kings
from a sudden journey IS swift and IN
certain: or. that greediness often meets
with its deserts: or that q glutton is
born each day in the week for two days.
and a designing physician IS bora each
day in the week FOR the other hve.-J. J.
