My eldest son gfew very fat, and for a long time worried myself every 7 night for fear he would be attacked by apO- plexy but instead of taking fits he took politics-and could soon count his ribs. It was too bad, with all.my whims and nos tions. I could get nothing to think about. could not take my favorite walk without having the east wind to blow in my face. Folks came to me fer my money, and l lot them have it because I did not know what to do with it n,yself---there was a real sal- isfaction in being of use to somehody.-- How did I watch for my bills to hecome due Many time Eve had breakfast an hour earlier than common. and set out on a brisk trotto pay mechanic who lived tenrods from my door.

Not ,a bit, mal,--not bit 1; often look over my shoulder at them and laugh, as say, to my- self, When a man has nothing to do, if must be a great comfort to think he is of so much consequence.' sWell neighbor Bond, you are happy man. For my part,qI don't like to be lorded over.' sLorded over! Heaven help thee, man! we lord 1t over them. should like to know what measure they can carry, if the honest yco-
