The DeacOn's Swill. Barrel.

JUST outside of the house stood father,
the deacon, Juggling away at big lump
of ice in the swill-b rrel.
"Bad business, that" said 1, resting
my h nds on my knees.
"Not half so bad as it might "a been, twas
the reply, as he lifted the cake Of ice out
by stout stick that had frozen up in the
swill. "Many an manya bar1 has busted
for me that wouldn't If this knowledge
had only come to me sooner" said he.
4" You see, when this cold snap came on
suddenly, I thought of the swill-bar1
away In the night AID 1 said, Well, it
can't be helped now 1t happened, how
ever, that the stick / stir with was left
poked down in the swill, and that was all
that saved it. A bar1 or tub, or pail,
may freeze up solid, and if stick ha,
been put down in the water the vessel
can't bust. But it took me a good while
to find it out-never knew it till last win
ter; lived seventy years before l knew
it." and his eyes twinkled knowingly.
"Why, that's on the same plan" said
l, "Of putting a spoon in a glass jar when
you are canning fruit; If you do that the
jar won't break"
"Same philosophy exactly" said he, as
he gave the ball of ice kick, and sent it
rolling off down the hill.-Arthw' Home
