Three more frosty mornings in sue

here in this favored location, it is
thought some have lost their sweet corn
where the fog did not come in to pro-
tect it before sunrise.
Ernest Brooks had all his upper teeth

time was reported. Lemonade, coffee,
ice cream and cake were among the
good things furnished to replenish the

Travelling the road alone and on foot
is sometimes a good place for studying
human nature. Sometimes a man, or an
apology for man, will drive by one ap-
parently without seeing him, although
alone and without any load, while per-
haps the next one will take you in al
though partially loaded. Here is an
example which illustrates the latter class
to perfection: Not long since l was
travelling the road when a man drove
along with two seated wagon, himself
and wife occupying the front seat, and
their two children the rear. On over
taking me he halted and told his little
girl to climb in with them, which she
did, and then invited me to get in be-
side his little boy. This / refused to do
at first, saying he was already loaded !;
"But," said he, ~ have a 1900 pound
farm horse here and he will never know
the difference, so in with you, and no
more words about it eitherw Of course
i knew better than to refuse any longer,
and had pleasant ride to the end of my
journey.
Rev. Mr.. Brown invited me to accom-
pany him to the association, which invi.
tation was accepted; but when the time

on the sick list as to feel unfit for the
journey. 1t was quite disappointment
but not the first one by any means; and
while the good folks are there enjoying
the meeting. find myself sitting at the
table writing these locals. The people
there are to be congratulated on the fine
weather they are having for the meeting
and Mr.. Brown has my thanks the same
as If had gone with him.
Since mentioning those frosty morn
ings word comes that the frost made
clean work in some places, and probably
the next papers will report heavy losses
from that source.

Johns Letter.

"A periodical dullnesS, Sabbath after
noon lethargy, kept us from the memo
rial services at the Federal" 1t is said
that we missed good thing. No doubt
If it. We often miss the good things.
You will get report of the doings.
The old Federal was the meeting
place of the fathers and the mothers,
and the sons and daughters retain an
interest in it and rightly so. In one of
the wing pews-third pew from The
front-is where as a child we dangled
our little legs, slept with head in moth
er's lap, and yawned through many
dull sermon Ito us) on many long-ago
Sabbath.
Later on we remember the gloom that
would settle on our spirit as the minister
would talk of death and the judgment,
and of a certain place where open fire is
kept the year round, day and night for
ever, eternity through, and the gloom
would continue till we had a good nights
rest and had taken run out into Gods
sunlight. This was called probation
airy state. We were here on probation,
without cur knowledge or consent, of
cOurse-sort of an experiment as 1t were
handicapped from the beginning-crip-
pied from the start-between the devil
and the deep sea, with the injunction to
run the gauntlet to the hill of holiness,
the mount of perfection, a failure to
reach which would result in endless
sorrow.
Is there another side to the Infinite
maker of heaven and earth than his
Fatherhood? A Judge? Certainly. And
that, too, is the Fatherhood side of his
character. Our finite father was also oul
Judge and our exeeutiOner. Often we
have followed him into the ''other ROOM
with frown on his face and an apple
tree sprout in his hand, where he pro-
ceeded to execute judgment, but he
never branded us with hot iron. That
would not have been over and above
fatherly. >.
As we grew older we did not cOnfine
Ourself to the third pew from the
front, but would drop down most any
place where the girls were. 1t wouldn't
be surprising if the sermons were less
attractive than the 'Sex." We were
not singular in that regard. We did not
differ materially from the other fellows
History repeats itself, and the young
men Of this generation have caught on
to the idea of former generation and
carry il out in the same old way
We enjoy sitting on the fence and see
them passing by in couples repeating
the old, old story. 1t keeps the world
from getting mouldy-keeps it forever
fresh and forever young.
Well, they have daubed the old ark
with pitch (meaning the Federal that
it may float little longer on the tide OF
time. Good idea.
As we had the first word, your es-
teemed correspondent and our esteemed
contemporary was entitled to the last
word, and we hope to hear many of hel
last words"
The Samuel Pompilly of whom Mrs,
Livingston wrote was the grandfather OF
nag Harriet Pompilly, and was the uncle
Of Bennett Pompilly, who married my
fathers sister, Mary Irish. My Harriet
married cousin Bennett, Jr.
We have written more or less for the
Democrat for fifteen years, and in all
that time it is doubtful if as many
printers errors" have appeared as
there are years we have named. We
cannot say as much of other papers for
which we have scrubbed. JOHN.
