! From Harper's Bazaar
! MY FRIENDs,-We air here to-nieht to
| see if the deestriet will vote to build a new
| skool- house or not. We air here at no
small expense of time, trouble, and kerry
seen. didn't expect to say nothin' whe,, !
kum in here, but I've been o. thinkin' as I've
been a-settin' that ought to raise nv voice
agin the whole purceedin'. it is such an ex-
| travagant waste of public money taxed out
| OF private indervidooals. I shall vote
| agin it, and do all can to kill it. The
| trouble is, folks want too much in these
days, and them folks what have little or
| nothln' 'cept young ones are always ready
to vote to spend other folks money to ed
icate EN-. There wasn't much money
| spent to edicate me, and I've been q aeekin
in our meetin' for nigh forty wear, I've
worn the same coat and the same trousers,
! to say nothin' of waistccat and boots, every
| Sabbath day du1in' full half that long pc
rod. Amt la pattern for the deestrict in
matters of ekonomy? What would have
| bekume of me and Betsy Ann if hadn't a
| done so2
don't purtend to be Judge of VIM
| minis goods and dxin's, but I've OBJ
| sarved that she don't spend much of my
money on dresses and bunnits. She knows
| my sentiments too well on them pints, and
don't waste her time -gaddin' round to see
| the fashuns and such. She's stay at home
woman and workin' woman, sho is, and,
II do say It, she's pattern just as much
| as am. Why, it cen most took our breih
| away one Sunday mornin' when we seed
| our minister's wife a-kummin' inter the
| meetin'-house with a new bunnit on, all
kuvered up with flowers and fethers. Sum
body sed twas an Easter, or Wester, I've
forgot which, for we don't keep them paein
days like the 'Piscopals and Romans. We
know better. We rej'ice in tbs lite while
they walk on in darkness; but ns l was a.
sayin', me and Betsey Ann was dredfully
distrest over it, And when she got hum.
seq she 10 me, seq she: "What an example
to our young folks! You oughter to go right
over there, Jeremiah, and labor with 'em
about it,
The next mornin' I went over to the par
sonage, and kerried some specked apples
tha. we wuz goin' to throw away; for / al
Wuz takes somethin' with me when goes
to see the minister's family-it's o sakred
| dooty. tackled Mr.. Nicodemus about It.

they call it. Anyhow felt an inward call
to labor with the minister spell longer.
and to tell him in plain words that he
mustn't allow any of his family to indulge
in extravagance, whether it costs him any-
thing or not. We pay him four hundred
dollars year, when We can raise it-thats
