SOUTHBURY.

A sharp, active Yankee boy, trained in business at New Haven. removed to Mis- sissippi; he gathered quite a fortune and added the refined culture of south ern gentleman to his other qualities. After the war, he returned and still lives on the old farm in Southbury, the home of his boyhood. One hot Summer fore noon, he saw well dressed young fiedg- ling coming up the road with the equip ment of book agent. Having plenty of leisure, he greeted the student as he entered the yard and launched at once in to general conversation, which he kept up without break until dinner was an- the agent. This gave the host a moment of breathing spell, for not even book agent could eat and talk shop at the same time. After dinner, he launched outagain, ,exhausting theology, ,metaphys- ics, law, politics, ancients and moderns, until the shadows heightened across the road and the poor victim looked des- pairingly at his tormentor, who rolled out the ceaseless flow of his information without check; then at the sun. He glanced at his watch, which showed that he had barely time to catch the last train, grasped his grip and went flying down the road. To any one of this town, Il need hardly add that the narrator of the above was Hon Truman B. Wheeler, one of the best takers in the State and the victim is now a prominent minister within the limits of the BEES circulation.

church to which he belonged and his gifts in any of these ways have neither been few nor small. have known him to borrow money and pay interest on the sum borrowed that he might do as much as any one else for pressing needs of the parish. Mir Wakeman was man of few words, but if any of us counted him as a friend, he always found ways to let us know our friendship was returned and we could live and act in the tull assur- ance that his proffered friendship was honest and equal to any call.
 have often thought that the hospital ity of his house and the freedom with which it was offered to all his friends was model which it would be we'll for us all to initiate. He certainly had a re- markable power of holding friends. As business man, he had sound judgment and was prompt to act and met with a large measure Of success.
 But it is this business enterprise and energy as farmer that concerns us at this time. He never had a large farm. But labor has been freely expended on what he has owned and he has been, per haps, as near as any one in our commun- ity, model farmer. His only source of income has been from the farm and large sums of money have been expended for the education of his children, in building large and convenient farm buildings, fences and other permanent improve ments, as well as for the increased pro- ductiveness of the land. His name ap- pears on every list of members of this club from the first and he has ever been a constant attendant on it's meetings and has freely given us the benefit of his ex- perience. In the progress that has been made during the last 30 years toward d higher agriculture, MT Wakeman has been among the first and has done his full share in helping along the good work.
 New methods, new tools and new crops have received his careful attention and been adopted entire or modified, as in his judgment seemed best. His standard of excellence was high and his work was thorough and, from the preparation of the ground to the marketing of the crop, all the process was attended to and the quality of the product good. So it came to pass that his reputation as farmer and man of business stood high.
 In his case, as in the case of the other friend whose worth we are to remember to. night, the belief in the old theology of New England had produced that New England stamina and moral virtue that enabled them to stand firm and strong amid the temptations and stress of life.
 The life and character of Mir Wakeman should appeal strongly to the young men who knew him. In any community and especially one like ours, the loss of one like him is likely to be a permanent one. But few come in and it is only as those who are here rise up to take the place of those who have gone are the places fill ed. The inquiry is pertinent, Who is now preparing to fill this vacant place of usefulness and service?
 It is said of certain persons that they rest from their labors and their works do follow them. The works, the word, the example which such as our friends leave should be to us rich inheritance and an inspiration while we live.

 It needs no sharp ordeal, no costly passport, no painful eXpation, to bring you to the mercy seat; or rather, it needs the costliest of all; but the blood of the atonement, the Savior's merit, the name of Jesus, priceless as they are, cost the sinner nothing.- Hamilton.
 The tree will not only lie as it falls, but it will fall as it leans. And the great question every one should bring home to himself is, What is the inclination of my soul? Does it with all it's affections and powers lean toward God or away from Him?-[Gurney.
 It took me 40 years, said an old man, to learn three simple things: First, that I could not do anything to save myself; second, that God did not expect me to; and third, that Christ had done it all, and all had to do was to accept the salvat- ion He offers and to live for Him.

 No character of God is rightly put to- gethcr or rightly conceived of in which the overruling sovereignty does not in- here in love. And any character of God which is fashioned to produce any other impression than that, any character which presents Him to your thought as more wise than love, more pure than love, any conception of God which is stronger in your mind than that of real, sympathetic, loving God, is false.
 There are three kinds of unselfishness that which springs from a sense of duty, that which springs from natural benevolence toward one's species and that which springs from love. The first of these is a conscious unselfishness; the second is so in less degree; but the third may be and very often is uneon-- scious of itself altogether. None the less it needs to be dragged into the light now and then and carefully examined, lest it too. beautiful though it is, should
