as see them reflected With those shown
in the morning paper .
After reading a little from the chess
column OF some good author I descend
to the sa'o0 and greet my family
smiinoly in order TO open the day an
spiciousiy. We all then sing around the
parlor organ little uean entitled
ats funny when you feel that way.

lifelong regret to those who are spare d
that they did not give him the tender
part OF the steer or the second JOINT Of
the hen.
after breakfast, which consists Of
chops, hashed brown potatoes, mullins,
aud coffee, preceded by caDteloupe or
baked beans, we proceed to quarrel over
who shall 90 to church and who shall re-
main ct home to keep the cattle out OF
the corn,
We then 90 to church, those who can
at least, whilst the others remain and
read something that viii be improving

go to church quite regularly and en-
JOY the sermon unless it Is too tirm or
personal. If il goes. into doctrine too
much / am apt to be quite fatlgued by
the end of the service on account OF the
mental reservations [ have made along
through il.
like to go and hearabout Gods love,
but am rarely benefited by a discourse
which eplarges upon his Jealousy. When
/ am told also that God spares no pans
in getting even with people. fnot only

In. the afternoon | go walking if no
one calls. We have dinner at 2 O'Clock
on Sunday, consisting of lerked beef
smoliered in milk gravy, This. is the
remove. For side dishes we have squash
or meat pie. We sometimes open with
soup and then have clean plates al
around, with jowl and greens, taperin8
of with some kmd Of rich pie.
After dinner somstimes nap little
and then fool with the colt. This IS
done quietly, however, so as not to
break IN upon the devotional spirit Of
the day. After this | go for walk or
converse intellgently with foreign pow
ers who may be VISITING our shores.
When 1 walk ] am generally accom-
panied by a restless Qneen Anne dog,
which precedes me by about mile,
smelling of the road to see that all is
well. He something's succeeds in getting

AS tine evening lahp.is now lighted, I
proauce some good book or pamphlet
like "fhe Greatest Thing m the World -
