ne lived. A man by the name of It'd
more brought them; and he says wher
he saw them he was in the field, anC
he was so frightened that he started tc
run and never stopped until he was safe
at home. Said he remembered when
there were no houses at Prosperity
nothing but ponds Of water, surround
ed by forest, with plenty of deer shaking
their thirst in the crystal ponds.
He was one Of the commissioners ap'
pointed to open the road which now
leads from Prosperity to Spring Hill,
and was then known as the "Froe
Levep' or ''new-cuJ road"
Uncle Abran was very fond of bis
pastor, and, in fact, Of all preachers,
but was specially devoted to his own
preacher, and could never do too much
for him. While he was devoted to his
own church. he possessed liberal and
charitable views for Christians of other
denominations, and always accorded
them their own particular viewo. His
pastor relates an-amusing incident that
occurred in his youthful ministerial
experiences which illustrates Uncle
Abrams devotion and goodness. The
preacher had been urging the impor,
tance of making this same little church
which we have alreedy spoken of, more
comfortable in cold weather; in fact
had, on several occasions, suggested to
the congregation the propriety of put
ting stove in the church. This did
not seem to take very we'll at first, and
the young preacher became little dis,
couraged about getting his stove up
On certain Sabbath, cold and bleak,
after riding about fifteen miles, the
young preacher arrived at the little
black church, nearly frozen. Uncle
Abram came out with smile on his
face and said, brother -- let me
hitch your horse for you, you are SC
cold, and you go in the church and
warm" "Warm," said the. preacher,
'how shall I warm?" "Oh," said
Uncle Abram, twelve got stove up"
The amusing part now comes. Few
persons had ever seen stove, and in
the morning before starting to church
he warned his family not to go too near
the stove, nor to put their hands on it
lest they would get burned. While he
and the young preacher were going to
the church, he was feeling so real good
over the idea that he had been able to
make the preacher warm before begin
ming service, after being so very cold,
that when he got to the stove he clasped
the pipe with both hands, burning
them considerably, much to his own
chagrin and to the amusement of the
bystanders.
He studiously avoided all notoriety
and public life, never being candi-
date for any position whatever. He
had no ambition in that direction, still
he was always prompt in the exercise
of his franchise, and would always cast
his vote for those whom he deemed
worthy of his confidence and Of their
constituency.
While the career of Uncle Abram
has been one Of absolute quiet and Sc.
clusion from public life, yet his fame is
greater than he who taketh a city. He
has gone to dwell in the Eternal City,
as king and priest of God.

the officer astride the worm eaten fence,
who explained the misunderstanding
degree as follows:
"Benighted brother, the ordeal which
you have just passed through is ad-
ministered for the purpose .ofreminding
you that there is broad difference be-
tween buying for cash and buying on
credit. One dollar in hand would have
saved you from all that misery; but for
lack Of the ready cash you were forced
to pay ten times the required sum.
This is the last degree we will admin
ster to you at this meeting. There are
yet seventeen other degrees required,
illustrating the different trials in far
mer's life, before you are full-blown
member of the Alliance. I will state
that they are somewhat severer than
the limitations through which you have
just passed, but you will muster up the
resolution to bear them.'
Well, continued McKeever, I am
entirely satisfied with my Alliance ex-
perience: and I don't think there is q

enough to draw me to another meet

4 Horrible Practical Joke.

TROY, \. y, September 1s.-John
Carbon, in the employ of the Lake
George Paper and Pulp Company at
Ticonderoga, fell asleep near the ma
chinery. Two fellow ,workmen, it is
said, planned to scare him. They tied
a rope about his feet and threw it over
shaft making 125 revolutions a min,
ute. They could not cut the rope in
time, and Gordon was killed, his body
being horribly mutilated. One of the
perpetrators Of the joke has lost his
reason from the shock.
