The herald., 1897-11-14

full of the peace that passeth under
standing. Instinctively / took off my
hat. and stood still, as one facing a rev.
elation of the character of Jehovah.
Later I remembered that there was a
Salvation army bonnet about the face,
though in truth very few of the halle
lujah lassieS have that look in their
faces. 1t was not the army that gave
this sister peace-it was that she had
lost herself and found him who is the
fullness of God. So my loss faded away
into trifling nothingeess, and pitied the
heart of the poor devil who had persuad-
ed himself to the loss of his manhood.
providence knows bettern what we
do" said Uncle Aaron, rousing himself
His ways is higher'n our'n be, all
though theys a mighty sight O. ways
thet man with common hoss sense
follers the ways O. Providence. Special
ly in the ways O. hannelin' dumb crit
ters. Now you take hosses, an the
different ways they haf to be hanneled
is powerful like the way tn Almighty
takes to git us weak vessels to act any
ways decent an Railways b'have our
selves. The most on us is like a hoss
at can't be druv without a blind bride.

der, he's got a hoss at can git up an
climb, an do a heap o travelin' eff he
hes blind bride on i'm, because then
he can't see the whip, an he don't know
when it's comm down. But you take
them blinds off. an that hoss he sees
when the driver reaches for the whip,
an he makes a little squirt, an then his
singletree's back on the wheel agin."
A slightly different application oc-
CURED to me as the lines of the good old
hymn foated through my memory:
81 know not what awaits me-
God kindly wells my eyes,
And DER each step of my onward way
He makes new scenes to rise.
And every joy He sends me comes
A sweet and glad surprise"
"An' then they's a lot O. people ats
like hosses at mans got to have a
CAD in is ham all the time, an keep a
putin it to 'em. They's got thick
hide an short memory, as the sayin' is.
Fellers like that is forever havin' bad
luck-ef 'taint one thing it's two, es
the sayin' is. Mint they git little
streak O good luck an things comes
kinder easy fer spell. nothin'll do but
they must set down an rest an lose all

Memory again suggests: 'The pros
perity of fools shall destroy them.''
"An' then again, look at the hobbies
an sech harnessins ats on different
men an wimmen. Here's a mare at
wants to trot, an she can't trot little
bit, but she en- pace blue streak, so
she gifts the hobbies on 'er an she's got
to pace er stan still-so she PAGES. An
hyre's woman at wants to be on the
go an havin' fun an parties an
dances an all sech doin's at other folks
can see is the runin' of 'er, an she gifts

An hyre's a big strong boss at gifts
balky an won't b'have, an he gifts put

team, with chain around is belly an
ova is shoulder, an mebbe prod
bhind i'm; boss he hangs back es usual,
an the chain gifts tight around is belly
an the prod gifts good whack at 'im
an Mister Bawky he settles right down
in the collar an gifts to work for all he's
wuth. Jest like some men critters for
all tn wOrld-gin 'em a wife 'at'll scold
like OF she devil an they're up an a
hustlin' all the time-but ey they're
treated decent they git swelled up in
the head an lay back an don't do nothin
but kick.
