CALLAN HOUSE, Aug q, 1889.
DEAR HENRY-A queer world is this
There is always something to bother us
The average man and woman is generally in
the dumps 1t has been too cold here for the
last several days for comfort. Some DAYS
ago we were steWing and fretting In our
shirt sleeves, but since that we have been
shivering for the want of our ulsters. All
the guests of the 'Callan House have been
finding fault with the weather. with the ex-
ception of one 'Tdon't care for nothin' - kind
of fellow, who can be hot or cold Just as he
pFeases. he is the strangest genius ever
met with. He is an enigma that can't rid
die out. he is a strange compound of good
and bad. at times he seems to have good
IN him to make two or three angels, and at
other times enough of bad IN him to make
several devils. In a conversation upon the
affairs Of the world and the happening Of
earthly things, asked him what he thought
of this world in general, and what was go
ing to become of all the people His reply
to my interrogatOry was thus 'Wali.
dunno. Sometimes thirk, and then don't.
Thisa'ere is curris world when get to
In of it, things would ha' been made some
what diff'rent from what they be. There's
all sorts of folks in this ERE world, and I
s'pose the Lord knows what he wants 'em
fur, but I'm sure / don't. I kind O. hope
that the Lord will fetch everybody out about
right some o. these 'erp times. He has moth
ing else to do, and it's His look out, not mine,
what comes of EN-"
The other night while promenading on
the Cresson grounds, when the moon was
shedding her silver light on the Cresson
House towers, the sky clear and gemmed
with bright cleaning stars making the
CressOn avenues very inviting, my ears were
greeted with the bursting forth of the Cres-
son choir. While the singing was charming
1t was not so raviShing as the singing of one
of the Philadelphia choirs. The city Of
"Brotherly Love" has choir composed Of
four noted singers, whose names are Jane
Sophia, Anna Maria, Obediah and Jedeki ah,
and Of whose singing poet writes thus:
Our Jane Maria soprano sings
SO high you'd think her voice had wings,
To soar above all earthly things
When she leads off on Sunday;
While Anna Maria's alto choice
Rings cut In such harmonious voice,
That sinners In the church rejoice,
And wish she'd sing till Monday.
Then Obediah's tenor high
Is unsurpassed beneath the sky
Just hear her sing "Sweet Bye and Bye"
And you will sit in wonder
WINE JeueK1anS s DaSS profound
Goes down so low it jars the ground
And wakes the echoes miles around,
Like distant rolling thunder.
No, mol The Cresson choir can't beoin IN
sing with the Philadelphia Jane Sophia
Anna Maria, Obediah and Jedekiah choir
The guests at the Cresson House are being
supplied with beautiful cultivated flowers
from Peter SWeeny's extensive flower gar
den at Loretto. Mr.. Sweeny visits Cresson
almost daily to dispose of his choice flowers.
lie IS welcome visitor at CressOn. Espe-
clally does he receive hearty welceme from
Jne FEMININE guests. When Mr. Sweeny ar
rlves you will see him surrounded by a eroup
OF ladies', all seemingly delighted with his
Asthetlc dtscourSeS of flowers It is pleasing
10 know that Mr.. Sweeny is not ONLY gaining
ulsIihCJioh ana prominence as r f1Oricultural-
ISL, nut IS also adding handsomely to his ex-
chequer. The writer is under obligations to
Mr. Sweeny in being the recipient of several
lovely boquets
l am happy to be able to report to the
readers of the FREEMAN that the Tariff
