Everybody knows that the earth

however, have any idea Of the high rate
Of speed necessary to accomplish that

by cannon ball has beon estimated at
1,626 feet per aecond, which is equal
to milo in 3.2 seconds. Tho earth,
in making one revolution in 2i hours,
must tul., with velocity nearly equal
to that of cannon ball. In short, the
rate Of speed at tho cquator has been
estimated at nearly 1900 feet per scc-

Therefore it has been calculated that if

No sooner were our ancestors safely
deposited in their respective vaults than
my father inclosed his burial lot with
. fine iron fence and set up num-
Der Of hugo stone vases to contain hang
Ing vines. To these he from time to
time added such other ornaments and
improvements ~ were suggested by Rev.
Nantucket Sperm, Captain Shrimp and
others. These works occupied his days,
and his nights were given to tho study
Of the genealogy.
Rev. Walter Mowbray created so favor
able an impression that he was invited to
become the pastor of church in the
neighboring village of Weenipsit. AS
he had now become reimbued with the
spirit Of the true and earnest Christian
soldier and teacher, he felt it his duty to
makes full and humble confession to the
bishop in authority and beg to be rein
stated. In this my father and l lent
our assistance, and the story Of Jepson
was made known to only few discreet
persons. In his preaching he is said to
be doing good work. The pictures he
draws in his warnings to young men arc
80 realistic that his hearers wonder how
the good old man is able to so faithfully
portray the many evils Of this wicked
world, Of none of which he can possibly
have had any personal experience.
My fathers example caused many iron
ratings and handsome monuments TO be
erected by his neighbors, and the Pason-
agessit cemetery is not only the pride of
the village, but also Is the model for all
the neighboring villages, in nearly every
one of which the work Of Improvement
is in progress. Rev. Nantucket Sperm
is always loud in his praise of my father
for his Inauguration Of tho good work
which Is now being carried on with 30
much pious enthusiasm.
But that which gave my father the
greatest pleasure was the following Incl
dent, which he was never tired Of relat-
ing: One day az he was coming in from
the cemetery he was stopped by a wom-
an apparently about 90 years Of age,
who, cane in hand, stood before her cot
tage. "Mr. Johnson" said the venera-
hls dame. Il want tew thank YOU. I've

had we'll to do look The man actual
ly looked 10 years younger than when
had last seen him. He Uniformed me that
he felt nothing but disgust for all kinds
of liquors and for his former course in

and decided that he was confident it was
due to his having been hypnotized, and
added: "Your father was right in what
he did. 1t has made my new course easy
for me-indeed my easiest course"
He had finished the funeral grafton to
his entire satisfaction and was anxious
to deliver it. 1t had been labor of love
with him.
Not only was he glad Of an opportuni-
ty of pleasing and obliging my father,
but also Of the chance afforded for max

ner so conspicuous and decided. At his
first step he would rise 30 respectability.
All being thus favorable, I wrote and
informed my father that he might safely
announce in Pasonagcssit that on the oc-
casion of the reintcrment Of the ashes Of
our ancestors there would be discourse,
historical and explanatory, by Rev. Wal
ter Mowbray, q clergyman Of English
descent who had travelled in many lands,

inwardly-at heart.
Indeed he one day informed me, with
tears of Joy in his eyes, Of what ne
thought a strange phenomenon il not an
actual miracle wrought in his case.
This was the fact that all his old reli-
gious fervor had returned to him or had
been in some way revived in his heart;
also with this had been restored to him
much Of his youthful religious knowl-
edge-the love Of the good men of all
times. When spoke Of all this a few
