His two sons had taken his place in the store,
and were transacting the same business at the
same old stand. The other day an aged farm
er backed his "appe cart" up to the sidewalk
opposite the furniture store, opened the door
and shouted, "Here's ger apples /" The oc-
cupants of the shop were astonished and sup
posed that the old gentleman had made mis-
take and come to the wrong place. Charles
had no recollection of ordering any apples,
and inquired of Horace if he had. Horace
replied that he had already been furnished
with his usual supply of apples. The Moses
of this Israel, who had led these children
through the wilderness of their YOUTH hap
pening to be present, was appealed to. He
went out and grasped the hand of the veneer
able agriculturist, recognizing in him at once
the individual to whom he had given the
looking-glass, and who, after SO extended an
interim, had made his appearance with the
barrel Of apples! His salutation, "IIere's
yer apples, was suggestive of Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep of twenty years, from which he
had just awaken.

Congregational Conference.

The Conference of the Congregational
churches of Kennebec county, held at Water
vile on Tuesday and Wednesday, was one of
unusual interest. Large delegations were in
attendance from Augusta, Hallowell and Gar
diner, including many active business men.
A carefully arranged scheme of exercises had
been prepared, and to this fact much of the
success of the meeting was due.
Among the topics discussed, were these,
"The higher christian life," "Religion in
business "Duty of church members to their
own denomination.'
A 'Promise Meeting" and "Praise Meet
ing" both carried on with much spirit, gave
freshness and variety to the services. The
Rev. Messrs. Ladd and Burrage, pastors re-
spectively of the Methodist and Baptist
churches of Watervile attended many of the
sessions ard fraternally participated in the
exercises, giving much satisfaction and
pleasure.
A very prominent feature of the occasion
was the sermon on Tuesday evening by Prof
Barbour of Bangor Seminary. 1t is needless
to say that it was production of marked
originality and rare power. The social ele-
ment was allowed larger place at this con-
ference than usual, with decided advantage
A bountful collation. was prepared on We'd
nesday over which an hour was spent in free
social intercourse. Many of the company
then proceeded, under the lead of Rev
A ~
Gus patriarch of the conference, to the
grounds and memorial hall of Colby Unyer-
sity, courteously opened to them. The cast
of the famous "Lion Of Lucerne," which
forms the monument to the deceased soldier
alumni, attracted universal admiration.
To the good people of Waterville credit
and thanks are due for their liberal hospitality
and the completeness of all their arrangements
for this most successful meeting. -
