An Incident In the Life Of Joseph

on a farm not far from old Fort Ticon-
deroga, where his father still lives. 1t
is related that when the now famous
preacher was boy of fourteen the II
brary of the district school was sold at
auction, and he bought several of the
books. Next morning he was sent by
his father to do some work in the mead
ow. He took his books with him, and,
getting in a shady nook. lay down on the
turf to read a few pages. Immersed IN
the interest of the book. he noticed not
the flight of time Dinner hour came,
but he was absent from the table.
Alarmed, his father set out 70 search for
him, and late IN the afternoon found
him still reading and all unconscious OF
how low the sun was in the west. From
that time forward he was never asked to
do and more farm work, but was sent to
school and allowed to follow The inclina-
