4 JOHN GILPIN FUNERAL,

| Written .}oT 1ht Sunday Tribune.
[ Away back in the torties there resided II
| Orange County, n. T., a good old Presbyterian
| minister, who was pastor of rural congrega
t tion where he had preached over thirty years
! having oficiated at the marriage and burial O
] his people to the second and third generation
! He was type Of the old-fashioncd pastor who
| forty years ago, was the centre around which
all the social and religious life Of the rural com
munities rcyo1ved, and Was the confidential
friend and adviser Of nearly every man, oman
and child in the district.
OF course, one Of his most laborious duties
was preaching funeral sermons, and hardly a
week passed in which he was not called upon to
perform the last sad rite for some member 6l
his flock. This duty necessitated his keeping q
horse and buggy, and his congregation always
provided han with Us fine q roadster as could be
found; and the county which produced Dexter
and score OF other noted trotters was always
full OF splendid horses. AT the time wc arc
writing Of, he owned q splendid horse, which
was the pet Of his large family OF boys and girls.
Oae day in The winter of 164- hc was called
upon to attend the funeral Of one of bis par
isbioncrs, who lived soue miles distant from the
parsonage III the early part OF the day he
drove TO the house OF mourning, aud hitched
"Ned +" to the fence, while the ceremonies pro-
ceeded within the house. The day was one Of
those cold, clear days, IN which the blood is sent
dancing to the end of ones fngcrs, and which,
il person is comfortably clothed, is like wine
to the spirits, and, while waiting, Ned had un-
easily stamped the ground in bis anxiety to be
bounding over the stony road.
At last the sermon was over, the flnal look
given by surviving relatives, and the coffin
placed in the heasse. At the head of the pro-
cesson was Of course, the parson, who was to
lead the way to the cemetery, situated some ten
miles distant By this TINE Ned had become
thoroughly chilled, and, when he was gently
touched By the whip as the signal for starting,
lie took tile bits In his teeth and started of at
rate Ut speed which ncurly took the minister's
breath away. In vain he pulled and sawed upon
the bits, the high-spirired horse felt his blood
coursing through his veins at rapid rate, and,
while he was usually gentle and mfld-mannered
horse when attending funerals, on this OCCASION
he YVES evidently Intoxicated with the atmo~
sphere and WAS bound to show bis metal.
At first the driver Of the hcarse thought that
the parson would soon slacLen his speed, aud
did not urge his team out of their accustomed
funereal rntc Of speed, but the distance between
the hearse and the parson constantly increased,
and at last he concluded that the good minister
was thinking more OF the comfort Of the
mourucrs than the proprieties of the occasion,
and was driving his horse fast SO as to get out
of the cold, Uudertaker-likc,h he resolved that
