hOld Town Folks"

Those who are familiar with Mrs

to form an idea of the new one.
"Old Town Folks" when we say
that, the scene is laid in Massachu-
sets, in ante-railroad times. There
IS minister in the story, and vii
lage do-nothing,and a meeting house,
and areviVal Of religion, and crisis,
and towards the end there is wed,
ding. Among the characters there
is Miss Asphyxia Smith, who is one
OF those sharp, angular New En-.
gland fenalesss whose species is no
yet extinctk i'm Massachusetts, She
uses the English Language as it was
handed down to her. She says
''this ERE" and "that ARE" She is
what We call utility woman any
thing that has not money value is
''wuthless," Flowers which SHE
calls "blows," are divided into
two classes: those which are good
to dry (catnip, hoarhohnd, etc. } and
those which are not good to dry
