The Alfred Shakers.

One of the first Shaker societies in
this country was organized in this town
ninety-four years ago, and at the pres
ent time its members are looked upon
with mingled curiosity BY those not
familiar with their home life. To-day,
in company with Amos Allen, Esq,
late clerk of courts for this county, we
paid visit to the Shaker village, and
found the experience an interesting
one The village is pleasantly situated
upon the east bank of Shaker pond,
so-called, and all the fields look well
titled, and compare fayorably with
those of any other farming community.
The oldest building in the village is the
church, gambrel-roofed structure,
with green painted doors and blinds,
which was erected in 1892, and is good
for another century. In fact, its root
is now covered with the original hand
shaved cedar-s shingles, which, on the
steepest part, are goo(. yet for a num-
Der of years. Around this church are
clustered the other buildings of the
society. and the larger part of the POO
acres of land it owns. At the present
| time the society numbers only abont
sixty members, two-thirds of whom are
females. At times past there have been
about 800 members, but death has been
an occasional visitor. and during the
forty-eight years that Elder Vance. the
/ present head of the society, has been
connected with it, about 100 members
have passed over to the majority. The
good living and regular habits enjoyed
| by the Shakers are SO conducive to
longevity that of the last fifty persons
who have died in this society the aver.
age has been seventy years. The old
| est member at present is Merrill Bailey,
who has seen eighty-four summers
seventy-two of which have been passed
in his present house. He is still vel
preserved. and promises to retain hi:
faculties for several years longer.
Old and curious as is the belief ant
practice of the ShakerS-the literal in
depreciation of the Bible and the living
apart of the sexes-there are many
things about the people that are com
mendable. Their living is of the best
plain and wholesome food-nO porl
having been eaten since Island O
great abundance. Their houses, build
incs and lands are models of neatness
with frugality and economy everywhere
apparent. But no one overworks. ant
there is freedom among them which
other communities do not enjoy. AL
with them is not somber and long
faced, but instead all have the appear
ance of enjoying their life. Elder Vance
himself, though possessing quiet dig
nifty. being withal one of the pleasant
est gentlemen we have ever met. Nom
of the members take any part in poll
tics, though being well read in the cur
rent events of the day. From the Is
of June to the LIST of October the Sun
day meetings of the society are open t
the public, and there is generally
good attendance of those belonging +
the .'order of generation as the out
sitlers are called On the first Sunda
of the public meetings there is usual
larger attendance than the churcI
can accommodate. there being pecu

CuMed BY a Cat.

81 guess that rat didn't like the way
he was treated" said MIR. hiram
Thomas, Charlestown provision
dealer, referring to an orphan rat which
his charitably disposed cat had adopted
into her family, and which migrate
fully deserted the foster mother who
had so kindly taken it in ''out OF the
wet"
A few weeks since the cat, Maltese,
which makes her home in Mr.. Thomas
office. had two wee kittens. Evidently
ashamed or dissatisfied at having so
small family, and feeling that she
could very easily manage and care for
larger one, she began searching for
some little wanderers who needed the
kindly attention of a mother. Not
finding one of her own species, and
happening to discover 4 half-grown rat
whose folorn condition wrought upon
her sympathy, she promptly gathered
him in and installed him in her little
family. On the following morning Mr..
in her accustomed place in the office,
with her two kittens and their foster
brother snugly ensconced by her side.
For several DAYS" said Mr.. Thomas,
s.she watched her adopted child just As
tenderly rs she did her own offspring,
nursing him with them and dividing
her care generously between them"
The rat was evidently happy in his
new-found home for time, and was
apparently not disturbed at seeing his
foster mother occasionally rush out
and slay other rats. Finally the re-
straint of being ..tied' to his mother $
apron strings became irksome to his
ratship, and he boldly essayed to play
truant. On missing him the cat would
at once hunt him up. and for the first
few infractions she let him off with a
single reproof and an admonition that
little rats should stay at home and moi
be running at large, learning bad tricks
from older rats. who wickedly steal
edibles from the store and commit
other depredations.
Again he ran away, and when caught,
the cat, thinking it about time to assert
her maternal authority, gave him a
sound shaking up and cuffed his ears.
This was more than rat nature could
endure quietly, so as soon as oppor.
tunity offered the youngster made good
his escape, making up his mind thai
it was n pretty smart cat that could
give him points on getting living,
The cat is now without a family, as hel
two kittens were drowned after the de
parture of the rat.-Boston Globe.
