From the Independent.
A curious incident of Sabbath
breaking occurred In the parish of
Hampton, Conn, In the good old
time. A certain jolly farmer, who
lived several miles from the meeting
house, was astonished to observe one
Sunday morning his near neighbor,
pions deacon, hard at work In his
bayfield,, with his sons and his
hired men, But the truth was
soon divined; the deacon, who took
no daily paper and owned no alma
mac, was. In short, not literary
an,-had mistaken the day OF the
week, and his well-ordered family
had adopted his error. / am sorry to
add that being more of wag than n
saint, our farmer declined to enlight-
en- the iRnocent tSabbath~breaker but
drove ON, chuckling, toward the
sanctuary. The deacon looked after
him, and, pausing In the midst of
the broad swarth he was cutting, ex-
claimed: "Ef there aint neighbor
Doolittle, and Mrs. Doolittle, and all
the children, dressed up and goin'
visitin' Saturday mornin', In the
midst of hayin' time. That beats
alI.n
The next morning the deacon and
the deacon's wife, his sons and
daughters, his hired man, the hired
girl, and the "bound boy" all array
ed in their Sunday best, set out for
meeting in good order--the eldest
son on horse. back, with the eldest
daughter mounted behind on pill.
lion; the deacon, with the rest of the
family, In the big farm-wagon, drawn
by pair of stoat roans, who logged
soberly along with their meekest
Sunday look on. The family delu-
sion extended even to the yellow dog,
who trotted In the rear OF the deco
rous turnout, without secular frisk
or gambol.
On the way to the village the dea-
con was surprised and shocked to see
several of his fel!ow-townsmeu at
work In their fields. He invariably
stopped to reprove them; but the
joke of his own Sunday work had
spread through the nelghborhood,
and was 50 much relished that no
one cared to undeceive him. Each
farmers excuse for his i'm piety was
the necessity Cf getting In his hay be-
fore shower, which he preteded was
imminent, though, the sky was
cloudless. Representations and re-
plies were something after this sort
