An OLD TIME MINISTER. AT Il meet
ing of the Historic Genealogical society in
Boston, recently, an exceedingly interest
ing paper was read npon the sub iect of
'Clerical Life in New Hampshire hun
dred years ago" The paper was founded
upon the diary of Rev. Timothy Walker of
Rumford n. H., who died in l772. after
serving as pastor there for fifty two years.
He was educated at Harvard college. and
then settled at once at Rumford, which is
now part Of Concord Mr.. Walker kent
diary for many years, andit shows very
graphically the method of living at that
time, which does not precisely conicide
with the ways of to-day When the news
was received that Burgoyne was marching
on Albany he was in the pulpit preaching,
it being Sunday. The messenger announ-
ced that the English troops might be cut of
If the New Hampshire men under Gen.
Stark would march at once. Accordingly
Mr.. Walker stopped his sermon long
enough to annouce this fact to his audience
which he did urging all men present to go at
once. Nearly all of them did go, and he
then resumed his sermon to the women and
children. 1t is not in the patriotic spirit
that the difference lies between then and
now, but in the way in which they lived day
after day. Mr.. Walker had a salary of
Sl5G year, on which he maintained com
Portable existence and supported family.
He owned negro named Prince, and had
considerable land, the most of which he
used for raising tobacco, although he sold
agold deal of cider every year too. On his
sideboard there was always a supply of rum
for his friends, and after this fashion he
carried on his work of doing good, and good
he no doubt did, although the model pastor
of to-day would not be likely to raise tobac-
co, sell cider, give away rum, own slaves,
or stay fifty-two years in one place.

Danbury Witticisrns.

An afflicted Brookfield woman bor-
rowed marble-top bureau to use at a funer-
al.
LISA little sinGnlar that inoll the weeks
The women pretend that they are in
need of suffrage, but that they would be
content with an eye in the back of their
head.
1t looked like rain all day Sunday, but
people went to church without umbrellas in
hope to tempt Providence. Their trust
was beautiful but it didn't work.
One of the most desirable sights in
this life is a young man with pair of rub
bers on his feet, an oil-skin hat cover in
his pocket, and an umbrella under his
arm singing, Rocked in the cradle of the
deep"
At the depot, Monday evening, an eager
looking man jumped from the train and
clasped waiting woman in his arms.
''Ieavens! my wife," said he. "Mercy
my ruflles," said she. Which showed
what both were thinking of.
The editor of TIE Nears has received
several orders for the new book, ''Life in
Danbury.' He wishes to inform these
people that the publishers, Shepard & Gill,
of Boston, and their agents, sell the book.
Beyond humbly admiring it, he has nothing
to do with the book now that it is printed.
He rs but simple child of nature-a re-
turned Californian, as it were.
You can always TIL boy whose mother
cuts his hair. Not because the edges of it
look as if it had been chewcd off by an alb
sent-mindcd horse, but you tell it by the
way he stops on the street and wriggles his
shoulders. When fond mother has to cut
her boys hair, she is careful to guard against
any annoyance and muss by laying a sheet
on the carpet. 1t has never yet occurred to
her to sit him over bare floor and put the
sheet around his neck. Then she draws the
front hair over his eyes, and leaves it there
while she cuts that which is at the back; the
hair which lies over his eyes appears to be
surcharged with electric needles, and that
which is silently dropping down under his
shirt band appears to be on fire. She has
unconsciously continued to push his head
forward until his nose presses his breast
and is too busily engaged to notice the
shutting sound that is becoming alarmingly
frequent. In the meantime he is seized
with an Irresistible desire to blow his nose,
but recollects that his handkerchiefis in the
other room. Then fly lights on his nose,
and does it so unexpectedly that he involun-
tarlly lodges, and catches the points of the
shears in his left ear. At this he common
ces to cry and wish he was man. But his
mother doesn't notice him. She merely hits
him on the other ear, to inspire him with
confidence, and goes on with the work.
When she is through she holds his jacket
collar back from his neck, and with her
mouth blows the short bits of hair from the
top of his head down his back. He calls her
attention to this fact, but she looks for new
pac- on his head and hits him there, and
asks him why he didn't use his handkerchief.
Then he takes his awfully disfgured head
to the mirror and looks at it, and, young as
he is, shudders rs he thinks of what the
boys ON the street will say.

1t will be seen by the above that the
comparison as to prices is greatly in favor
of the stock that had the Morgan strain. 1t
may be said that the one was a sale of Sc
lected stock, but in answer it may be said
that it comprised the entire stock of that
age, and they were raised by Col. Russell,
in 1872, all younger than the stock offered
by Mr. Thorne, and that our readers may
more fully understand the kind of stock

The LAST SIM was once, says Il. L.
Hale, in Il circle of thirteen or fourteen
clergymen, engaged in theological discus
sion. The subject was the eternal subject
of sin, its place in the system, its origin and
its cure. | said at last-to one of the truest
men and one of the purest moralists now
living-that we were beating around the
bush-that it would be much better to speak
from instances than in the abstracts to dis
cuss sins than to discuss sin. "Tell u.s."
said !, "what was the last sin you consci-
ously committed" The whole assembly
was hushed, He answered Immediately,
81 will tell you; had it on my mind as |
was speaking before. The last sin that
consciously committed was the sin of stay
ing in bed this morning when | knew |
ought to rise. Voluntarily did what at the
moment i knew was wrong" The confess
sion was received with shout of amuse-
ment and sympathy. And every man of
the circle acknowledged that the very sin
of laziness-the appetite for little sleep,
little slumber, little folding of the hands
to sleep-was the special temptation or sin
which pointed his language in the whole
discussion.
