He Stopped for the Night mt the Home
of His Old Friend.


number Of years ago, before the rail.
road was built through this section, used
to drive over my route.
IL was early in June on Saturday that
left town not far from here determined
II possible TO reach Kensington TO spend
sunday. just after starting / noticed that
one horse was little lame and rapidly be-
coming worse. As evening was approach
ing concluded that / would ask 10 re-
main over Sunday at the first respectable
looking farmhouse that I reached.
About hfteen minutes later | came TO
place with the house and barns nicely
painted and the outbuildings and fences
In good order. Just as ] reached the front
gate an old man appeared with shepherd
dog running at his heels. The barking Of
the dog, In not unfriendly way, called
the old gentleman's attention to me.
told him Of my dilemma and requested
him TO allow me 20 remain over the Sab
bath. He hesitated moment and then
remarked that be guessed Cynthia would
not care" After considerable trouble we
got the lame horse in a roomy stall
thickly bedded
Mr.. Joslin, as he told me his name was,
proved an expert in the care OF horses, and
soon had mine feeling better We started
for the house, and before we reached the
door Is was opened from the inside by a
young girl, who said in a clear voice,
"Grandpa, you are late; supper has been
ready some time" Just then I stepped
out from the shadow Of the porch and he
introduced me and explained the situation
to her, whereupon she at once babe me
welcome.
After tea we gathered in the coy parlor
/ was surprised 10 see a fine piano and a
library well filled with standard works,
and observed two swords crossed, an old
canteen and haversack. Evidences Of a
cultured taste prevailed
She was a particularly good converse
zionist, and az the old gentleman dozed
in his old armchair we fast became ac-
quainted The clock striking 10 awoke Mr.
Joslin, and, lighting a candle, he showed
me 10 my room. CHANGING around the
room / saw an old fashioned album lying
on the table, and turning over its pages |
came across photograph of Captain JOS
lin, with whom bunked in Libby Prison
in 1864. 1t was plain enough now. My
host had told me his name was Joslin, and
Cynthia his grandchild-so Captain Joslin,
my old friend, was his son, and Cynthia
must be the daughter / remembered he
had spoken Of as we walked up and down
the prison floor. Twas exchanged and left
Libby Prison, and had never been able to
get any trace of him.
After breakfast, as we were sitting on
the porch, a lull in the conversation gave
me a chance TO resume it by entering upon
the subject then foremost in my mind.
Gradually turned our talk TO the late
war, and Mr.. Joslin tremblingly told me
that the captain was released just before
Lees surrender. He came home broken
IN health and spirits, never rallied, but
fingered along in daily suffering until God
called him home in September, ls66.-Al-
bany Cor. New York Recorder.

Late Corners to Church in New Clothes.

The following notice has been distributed
in the pews Of Massachusetts church;
ut may not be inappropriate 60 call the
attention Of the audience to the bad habit
they have fallen into Of watching people
who come in late, especially those who
have new clothes. These late corners are
modest people and it must be a serious an
noyance 10 have their raiment made a sub
iect of remark. They wear it unconscious
" and prefer that you would not notice
them. The Sunday services are at 1890
and at 7;9O for the benefit Of all who desire
TO spend an hour in worship, but for all
those who have recently visited the tailor
and mihiner and dressmaker the morning
service begins anywhere from 1870 to H.,
and the evening service at ESQ. For the
benefit Of the very tardy ones the announce
ment is hereby made that the benediction
will be the only portion Of the service in
which they are respectfully invited to par
ticipate. "-Exchange.
