THE
COUNTRYMAN.
TURN WOLD, G A., DECEMBER 15, 1862.
Christinas Pic.
“An eminent preacher of the present
day, had, when a boy, committed some of
fence, for which his father had decreed, as
a punishment, that lie should be excluded
from the family table on Christmas day.
When the young delinquent saw the vast
culinary preparations made for the feast,
from which he was debarred, he was mov-'
ed. less with envy, than with a contempt,
for the sort of punishment which had been
imposed upon him : but mixing in his dis
position a good deal of the satiric with the
serious, he resolved not to be without bis
joke on the occasion. He contrived to ob
tain secret access to a veal pasty, on which
the cook had exhausted all her skill, and
carefully taking off the cover, so as to
avoid any mark of fracture or disturbance,
be took out the greater part of the meat,
and, filling up the dish with grass, replaced
the cover as it was.
The company met, and the dish was
served up to them in this state. It fell to
the lot of the young wag’s father to break
up the pie, and his surprise on doing so
may be more easily conceived than describ
ed. Stirring the grass about in a. fit of ri
sing indignation, bis fork encountered
a small slip of paper, on taking out which,
he read on it these words : ‘All Jiesh is
grass !' ”
“No man can answer for his courage
who has never been in danger.”
“Pride will not owe, and self-love will
not pay.”
“It is very difficult to distinguish diffu
sive general goodness from great address.”
“Most women yield more through weak
ness than passion : whence it happens that
enterprising rather"than amiable men com
monly succeed best with them.”
“Since it is not in our power to love
any more than to let it alone, a lover has
no right to complain of his mistress’s in
constancy, nor she of her lover’s levity.”
Objectors to the Gospel.
“ To reject the gospel because bad men
peiveit it, and weak men deform it, and
quarrel about it, and bigoted men look sour
on others, and curse them, because they do
not agree in every tittle among themselves,
displays the same folly as if a person should
cut down a tree bearing abudance of deli
cious fiuit, and furnishing a refreshing
shade, because caterpillars disfigured the
leaves, and spiders made their webs among
the branches.”
lord Howe.
“Admiral Earl Howe, when a youth,
served on board the Burford, Capt.. Lusb-
ington. This vessel made an unsuccessful
attack on the town of La Gruita, in which
the captain was killed.—The attempt, hav
ing failed, a court-martial was held relative
to the conduct of the Burford.—Young
Howe was particularly called upon for his
evidence. He gave it in a clear and col
lected manner, till he came to relate the
death of his captain. He could then pro
ceed no farther, but burst into tears, and
retired.”
