The Old Meetin'ouse.
How the New Englanders of sixty Years
Ago Attended Church.
[The New Englander. !

THE New Englander.l
The Westinghouse was never lighted, ex-
cept by the sun, until singing-schools made
it necessary to introduce candles and rude
chandeliers. Night meetings in the meet
ing house we're considered highly ndeco:-
Gus and questionable even by the most zeal
Gus. No firing was provided for. Stoves
were utterly unknown and fire-places were
not to be thought of. Even the rude and
dangerous devices, which afterward were
matured into the not uncomfortable foot
stoves, were at first unknown. The New
England meeting house was never warmed
by artificial heat till from 1910 to 1920. Of a
cold winter morning the breath of the vor-
shippers not unfrequently would seem like
smoke from hundred furnaces as 1t came
in contact with the frosty atmosphere. The
walls Which had been almost CONCEALED into
ice by the fierce northwesters of the proceed
ing week, would strike chill of death into
the frame of many of the congregation.
That they should come to such place as
this, on snowy morning, blowing through
unsWept walks, and plunging through fear
full drifts man, woman and child-and sit
with half frozen feet under long dlscourses
on knotty doctrines, make us shiver as we
think of it and say from the heart, ''herein
is the patience of the saints" And vet the
Writer'S memory can distinctly recall the OBJ
servation and experience of scenes like
these. The experience was not SO cruel as
1t might seem. Manifold devices against the
cold were provided. Some that are now
deemed indispensable were not needed.
The free-handed and open-hearted hospi-
tally of the houses near the meetng-hous
was freely protfered and as readily accepted.
Enormous kitchen fires were expressly re-
plenished for Sunday uses, before which
scores of worshippers from distance
warmed their persons and ate their lun-
cheons. and at which they replenshed their
foot stoves. The merchant, the n.keeper,
the squire, the doctor, the retired money
lender, the wealthy widow or Lady Bounti-
full who lived near the meeting house. all
esteemed it their duty and their pleasure to
manifest this reasonable hospitality Slight
and natural as II was, it helped to bind and
hold together the little community by the
ties of common sympathy. To provide
against all contingencies, adjoining neigh
bors from distance would sometimes erect
a plain structure upon the meeting house
green-a Sabbath day house, so-called-of
one or two apartments, with ample fire.
places, which relieved somewhat the draft
upon the overburdened hospitality Of those
who dwelt under the droppings of the sane
tuary. These structures have nearly all dis
appeared with the occasion which brought
them into being. Now and then the re-
mains of one are identified by some village
antqaary, as applied to some baser use--of
stable or granary.

The Renorter,s Ravenge.

The Saint Nicholas recently gave swell
dinner at which new rule was introduced
by Mr.. Charles Sehermerhorn. This gentle.
man was then secretary of the club. He had
spent previous winter in London, and had
become thoroughly infected with Angloma-
mia. Therefore at the first meeting Of the
dinner committee he proposed an English
rule, which was adopted. 1t was that the
reporters from the morning newspapers
should be kept in an ante-room whence they
could hear the speeches, &C., through q
partly open door. This, it seems, is the
to send to every pa er two invitations for
its reporters. They are precisely like the
invitations sent to any other guest, except
the name of the paper is written on them,
and the reporters attend in full evening
dress and eat their dinner precisely in the
same manner as any other gentleman pres
emit. 1t is only when the speeches begin
that their avocation is made known bv pen
Gil and paper. All the daily papers are well
represented at swell dinners, aud the result
is that the best men on the staff are usually
sent. The leading reporters of metropolitan
journals are very often vastly superior in in,
telligence, culture and address to the men
at whose tables they dine. But the st.
Nicholas Club insisted on being swell. At
the same time they wanted to get their
names in the papers. So, as usual, they
sent each paper two invitations, and when
the reporters arrived in their dress suits
they were unceremoniously shown into the
ante-room by the funkies and left to them
selves. BY the time the dinner had COM
menced all the reporters were present. The
members of tie club sat down TO dinner,
and the reporters calmly went down to their
offices. After the dinner was over the MEM
bers got up and delivered their speeches in
loud and ringing tones, one after the other,
carefully turning in the direction of the
half-opened door, and reading extensively
from notes. This went on for three hours,
when it occurred to one of the members,
who was not quite so affected by the English
craze as were the others, that the reporters
might be thirsty. Therefore, he seized
bottle of champagne in each hand and start
ed into the ante-room. Oraorical fiigh
fell below par as soon as the door was OPP
ened, and the diners felt depressed. The
next day not line appeared in any of the
papers about the great st. Nicholas Club
banquet, all of which proves that it is not
always good thing to be too English.

little two-grain Quinine Pill was walk
ing down Main street the other day when it
saw plumbers Soldering Tool going down
on the other side.
'sCome over here on the sunny side of the
streetr' called the little Quinine Pill.
"And catch the ague?s' answered the eau
tious Soldering Tool. Not much; I am
bird of prey myself. How's business?'
Markets little shaky this spring. re-
piled the little Quuine Pill, ''but we are in

"BullyF' said the Soldering Iron, ''the

But why don't you come around and see us
oftener? What's got into you?'
'sOh, little OF everything except quin-
inc" said the little Quinine Pill, .and that's
gone up so high since the tax and duty were
taken of it, we don't touch it any more.
Dogwood bark's good enough for us. Where
are you going this summer"
ssOh, a little of everywhere replied The
Soldering Tool. "The old man bought a
steam yacht right after the last cold snap,
and we're all going TO travel"
And the Soldering Tool aimed a-vicious
kick at the hand-saw that was walking a
ten-hour match through hard pine for 81.
'sWe are going to the mountains" said
the little Quinine Pill, drawing scornfully
away from a $500 poem that was meekly
walking up street to sacrifice itself In the
poets corner for So and copy of the paper.

down into New England to hunt up new
disease to fit it. The old reliable house of
Mortar & Pestle is going to boom next sea-
son, and don't you forget that"
''The old man invented new kind of pen
last WINTER" said the Soldering Tool; she
calls it the billpen; it makes the figure /
look just like 8 every time"
But just then they met the Ice Pick going
to the Bank, and the Soldering Tool took off
his hat and shaded his eyes with his hand,
while the little Quinine Pill bowed until his
sugar coat swept the sidewalk. With
naughty inclination of the head, the Ice
Pick went on his way to deposit SITS, 900,
while an humble Hay Rake, who had come
to town to buy pair of so cent oyeralls and
10 cent chip hat, froze to death in its aw-
full shadow as 1t passed by.

COMMISSIONER EVANS has removed from
the internal revenue department four agents
who have been In the service for long time
and whose competency had, up to the pres
ent, never been called in question. The
reason given for these removals by Mr. Ey-
ans is, that he has discovered that the Of
ficers are incompetent That is good reas-
on If it is true. Incompetent officers no
matter how old In the. service should be
promptly removed as soon as their ineffic-
ency Is found out But it happens that
Commissioner Evans proposes to fill the
places of two of these discharged agents by
two other men both of whom had been dis
charged by previous commissioner for
cause. How Mr.. Evans expects to elevate
the service by exchanging one incompetent
man for another incompetent man we can
not imagine. If he had said he turned out
these officers to make room for his friends
his explanation would have been ineligible,
and, we are inclined TO think, correspondent
much closer with the facts than the one he
gives. 1t is said Mr.. Evans is considering
alss whether the good of the service which
he has so much at heart does not require
the transfer or removal of Gen. F. d. sew.
oil and the substitution of one of the Com
missioner's friends. A few more such re-
movals and the people will be likely to in
Quire whether their good does not require
tho removal of Mr.. Evans.

TEE lessons of disaster like that at Sun
derland, England, are apparent, and need
no calculation. Unfortunately lessons Of
that kind are soon forgotten. The horror of
the spectacle of two hundred children lying
crushed into shapeless masses. all on ac-
count of neglect to take the most o.dinary
precautions, will not prove sufficient to pre-
vent similar neglect in the future. Only
personal punishment of the delinquent per-
scr or persons will prove of any avail and it
high time that measures looking in that
direction were enacted everywhere.
