some Of the distant relatives Of the
dear old man whom we oil remember
with love and reverence, Horace Gree
ley. Two elderly ladies, one bright
and quick and smart. aud ready Of cute
Yankee speech, wit and rspartso the

Stiff and stately, noiiasf

Sat erect with rigid elbows beddsd thus
In curying palms.
She II was who told in precise LAM
gaage q great many new things we had
never learasd about Mr.. 6resIsy's
early life and privations his likes and
dislikes bis tenderness of heart bis
abstemious habits and the Seifdsnial he
practioed In bis every day life. The

palms together in honest enthusiastic
emphasis. Nsfs
We shall always regret that We did
not jet down every word they told as.
We did make nots Of = few things,
slyIy, especially how Aunt Grseley'
made brown bread for the boy In his
growing years, and how, in bis man
hood, when afflicted with dyspepsia,
the careful cock compounded dough
nuts that he coull eat with . relish aad
no unpleasant results. The cider, that
was the usual accompaniment, he did
have to ferego. The brown bread
the kind that made the boy HsrAos
grow lsng and lsnk and cut Of his
trousers and roandabout-was made
after The old honest, Yankee fashion,
and baked long enough after il was
done, probably, TO insere sweetness

The recipe for doughnuts We jOttec
