TEE DONATION PAREX. {, SCRANTUM LEFT HIS
 PARISH,

We'll I never heard how the donation party came out. Miss Scrantum never said nothing about it, and never axed her no questions; only ] know. that thro' the rest O the winter the minister's folks seemel to be more pinched than ever. I was in theie quite often, and though they didn't make no complaints, IscoHid see plain enough that they had to scrimp and save, and patch and turn every way, to keep any how comfortable; for they had house-rent to pay, and six children to support, and it takes considerable to feed so many, to say nothing O clothin' on 'em They had good O company, tew, and that costs something. You see they had to entertain all the struggling agents that come along. for all sorts of societies in creation. They'd stop there to save paying tavern bill. It's the way they always dew, ye know? We'll they contrived to live along till the next win ter. The time come round for another donation party; and l says to yer uncla, says I-' Husband, I want to go to that giving visit o, shaw says he what do you want to go for?' O. says I cause 1 think so muck of the minister's folks. Well. says he, that's the principal req son why / should want to stey awcy from the giving visit myself; as for you, of course you can dew as you please. Well, then, says,I, if you haint no ob- ject;ons. I'll go; and wish you'd go tew, jest for once. Faint no use to ax ne to go, says he; it's against my prin- ciples; always mean to dew all I'm able to support the Gospel and help the minister; but as for them bess-I won't countenance 'em by my that's all; and let me tell ye one thing, if you go, I'll bet cookey you'll wish you hadn't went afterwards Well. that's my look out, saysI. If you're willin' I'll go.' And what'll ye take? ? says he, a stick of tape, or a pint of emptins, or what?' No, I won't says I, I'll take something of more .vally than Mat.'- Then you'll be odd says he.
 So after considering spell I conclu- ded to git, what Miss Scrantum needed about as much as anything, and that WAS new bunnit. She wore shabby, fa- ded old thing. that looked as if it come over in the ark. We'll, l thought I could git ginteeler one in Harristown, than I could by having it made here. So I got yer uncle to harness up the hoss for me, one afternoon, and being as, he was tew busy to go with me himself, | went over and axed Susan Scrantum to go long; I thought she could help me about picking ont out. She'd be likely to know what would suit her mother So goes and calls for Susan. She was delighted to go-she didn't git a chance to ride very often. We'll, we druv to HaTistown. and went into the best look 1 ing milliner's shop ther was there. No Susy,' says I, I'm gwine to git new bunnit, and l want your advice about what to choose Why.
