reziSS. Wen ono. man gets liturary ree-
tashun, thar is not mulch rest fur him, le
kant no moor flea from it than the litel fee
kan from womau's nimbcl tiagurs, ven
she's bent OH g;ttin him wen oncs her hngrs

chcks. A klAssikle writer sails the glory Nv
eawonan is her har, but he wur not thar wn

mint. But Olr. Editur. this amt ge:in
on rapid with the serlicerta,ed subjeck, IN
how anybody new that wur thar ut Wikrs
wen went lnkoguiture, BEATS all. IN ue
1st place it wur mitcy hard to git thar, sch
rodes as thar is about Pomarier. | neer
seed the lik nor felt worse in a chekqurd
life Nv many yeers. got thar tho suphe.es
it to say, after triberlushions, just in tine
before preechn on Satcrda mornin to lok
roun an see whose pots wur the biggest, an
were the yeriety shocd the spice oV life in be
gratest number Of ingregeants, an l mr
pleesed to find that the bowels Of thin
Mcthodyst wimen yearned after hungry mn,
an it made no differcnSe wat per SwaSun
they belonged to, fur even the synner N'
kared fur with kompaSshun. They did lot
hankir so mutch after wimen an childen
howdsoever. An don't blame EN- abut
babies fur thar were q camp meetin full OF
them, cryin and balm and screemin an Fl ELL
like savagies. How the preachers preechd,
an the wimen sukceded in feedin so m1y
under circumstances so tryin, dunno. But
the kryin wuc nothin 70 the konfushun atDed
time (you see the tents are awl to gathE an
only bagin petitions as scparashuns, y Al wen
awl the wimcn and gurls got tawkin as is
kommon before s!cepin, an awl the babies
kried as they kommonly do wen in kom-
pany, an shood be purity, and awl th' men
an boys wur Anna mated in konsquets o.
the unushual circumstances, it wur dreful.
We herd Of konfushun wus konfouhed
but never seed nor felt it before. Let done
the veriety Of subjeks, sum of which wur
hily Eddyfin, the nois wur murdcra to
sleep, and wen had kounted 100 Is TINS and
got most oph, one kind woman kommnced
maxim koffee fur fellow as had got los and
didn't hear the supper bell. Awl tue pans
an dishes an cups an koffee pots had to be
moved an kleaned an fixed before thai lost
syner kould be warmed up. l kommnced
kountin wun time more and most re,liScd
the konsermashion, wen anuther Segt 10
borrer my kiver for that same syner. The
ion entered my sole, and tecrs trikkled iown
the phurrows ov my phace an the mite was
kool. Next dore or rather behind the Iagin
necks to me an aein my he'd, sum fclers wur
diskusin on the immertalerty oy the sole witch
simmcred into wisper as to wy chi'kens
wur 50 skeerce, an vile my hart wur bkedin
at the thort Of yore melankoly kondlShln in
bcin deprived of them, fell asleap. Sue in
the mornn too other sheep wur blatin out
side the bagin--theyd left town in the mite,
they were chilian hungry an wun had tunbled
he'd foremas outen the wagin in mul hole
on the road. Tha wur oIjeckS of special
charity and you orter scene them Himcn
frisk aroun them. But il wood tax TOO
mulch time to speciphy every itum. The
day wur spent vareously in relidgeors ex-
ercises and in moral refeckshuns On the
goodness Of the wmin who pervidct the
yittles, an in lookin out fur the wuns witch
had the most inviting look fur you to eet
sundais dinner wur the last meel with me On
the groun an wen it wur over scd TO M
self, Hezekiah, it are over, yu wont have 10
stan roun, pickin yore teeth and maxim ont

last ftc wur ft, and sumo after wen it begun
TO thunder, thanked Mr.. Wikur an left. /
wood have relatid sum observashuns on the
imoril konduc OF fue yung men on Satlrdn
mite, but as you sed that all reddy it aint
wuth vile to repete cXcep to So that tha

ava to the mountings Of lIepsydam an hide
their ugly places. Thar are too ituns
wood remark on before kloSin, and wun ar
the kind advice given by Mr.. Shoe-foot, that
everybody ort to take the HERALD. An l
hope tha will, fur Belly sails its the best pa
per ont Of jale, an she noes. The other
wun ar this. an it konveys morel agslnst
the pryde an vanyte of this life in showinhow
fur a man will go to pamperit. On the road
thar wur break down, ,an hit rainin, IN in
wun buggy sot man with beevel on.
Wen he saw help wur headed he gcntli TUX
oph his butiful hat an put it under the buggy
apun, went to the rcsku an endoorcd the
rane on his gra loks. Wat luV fur bcever
was this. An then wen awl wur rite an he
had to change seets, an only haG the laly S
parrysaul to kover his otherwyse dephencc-
less beeyer. altho thar wur another man With
him, he kept the hole small umbreller over
his own he'd. Iwood lik to heer from that
beever. I kloSe, Mr.. Editur, by rc-markiu
that as coffin is openin an its bizzy time, I
NAV not be able to kontribt mutch, but if
you want any liturrary effushuns sune jes
