b a he case OF Thomas Guy, who
built and endowed the great Guys
hospital Of London, at a cost of R21S,-
292 nearly two hundred years ago.
Guy had q maid servant OF strictly
frugal habits, who made his wishes
her careful study. He resolved 70
make her his wife. The necessary
preparations were made for the wed
ding; and among others many little
repairs were ordered by Mr.. Guy In
and about his house. The latter In
cluded the laying of a new pavement
opposite the street door. 1t SO hap
pened that Sally, the b~ride-elect, OBJ
served a piece Of pavement beyond
her masters house that required
mending, and of her own accord she
gave orders to the workmen to do this.
This was done in the absence Of MT.
Guy, who on seeing more work done
b a he had ordered was informed
that the additional work had been
done by the mistress's orders. There
upon Guy told Sally she had forgotten
her position, and added: IF you take
upon yourself to order matters con-
trary to my instructions before we are
married, what will you not do after2
I renounce my matrimonial intentions
toward you" So Sally lost q rich and
grouchy husband and London gained q
noble institution for her poor.
