Si and Wife Go To Niagara Falls

Silas and I have been married nigh on to forty years. and one morning after reading the Norwich Bulletin Silas said:
 p Mandy, I think we ought to have a wedding trip!"
 My sakes alive, Silas Green, what ever put that into your head?
 Silas had been reading that some young people had just got married and had more money than brains and went off on a trip; and Silas was just foolish enough to want to go and do We'll after looking the matter over, we decided to go-
 Silas at first wanted to go to Vol untown; but I said: ''No I went there once and visited his Aunt Mary and worked every moment was there, and came home tired out. You don't take me again, up there!'' - We'll after talking about week we decided to go to Niagara Falls. So one fine morning we started. We got up at four o'clock and Si fed the hens, and I got breakfast and such a time-the coffee boiled over. the toast burned, and Silas kept twitting me of being in such a hurry that could not de anything.
 We'll, after awhile we got started and I thought the train would never come from New London; but 1t did
 
 SilaS had begun to eat his peanuts (now SilaS never goes anywhere with out a pocket full of peanuts), he turn ed around and saw Aunt Abby and Hetty Maria and he just had to go to those girls and give them some pea nuts. We bid them good bye at Leb- anon, and went on our way rejoicing.
 We changed cars at Palmer and when we got to Albany Silas said: There is the capitol!''t
 I looked and said: "Who would think that building covered so much sin ?"
 Silas said: '1t don't unless some of the bad ones are there,''
 Well, the engine footed so we scrambled on board jus. as she start ed up. We got to Buffalo after we had passed through all those big cities like Rome. Rochester and a heap of others. We'll, we was tired. and a man came and yelled "Cabi Hack!"
 Silas said i've would take a cab as this was our first wedding trip. So we did. and in two shakes of a lamb s tail that man had driven us to a hotel and then opend the door. Two dol lars, pleasei" said he.
 Well, Silas gave it to him, but was mad, to pay two dollars for jest about two minutes ride.
 We went into the hotel. I have

heard the song T dreampt I were in marble hails!" We'll, here I was.
 A boy came and wanted to take our valises, but Si said he could carry them himself, and he did.
 We had to put our names on big book-where we came from, and 1t looked to me as though they was going to ask if we had any money We had! I had one hundred dollars that Silas did not know I had all sewed up in my petticoat pocket.
 After Si had signed the book we went to box in the corner and got in and do you know I thought I was in an airship-I felt air all around me We went up and up and when the roof stopped us, we stopped! Don't you forget it. Our room was clean, but looked the bed all over, and we hung our clothes on the gas burners so we should be sure not to get no vermin in them. Well don't believe we slept a wink all night. The cars was ring ing bells, autos footing their horns folks talking and such noise. l was right glad when morning came.
 We decided we would eat our lunch for breakfast, as we did not eat II all the day before, so we did.
 Then we started out to find Niagara Falls. When we went to go down stairs q decided I would walk for was afraid that the ship would let me down too quick), and we started. We went down One flight after the other till I counted twenty-one flights of stairs. When Silas paid for ouI room $500 was the price for a place just to hear such a noise. We'll, we was glad to get out alive.
 We took the car and started and after an hours ride. got there. Well we walked and we looked. We took the Maid of the Mist, and rode ur clost, and after we had got on dry land again the sun shone beautiful an6 the rainbow came out: Gods beautiful bow of promise I was carried away with the beautiful sight, and there stood Silas. He never said a word.
 ''SiIas Green,'' I said, ''Why don't you say something? What do think!' And he turned to me and says, says he, "Mammany, What a shame al that waters going to waste. Why, il we had it down in Norwich we would not have to have bought Stony brook and our taxes would not have beer raiseed another half mill"
 looked a-t him and said, T thinf you are a fool, and we will go strai homei"
 We did. We intended to have beer gone a week, but we was home 1T three days, and when I take another wedding trip I shall go alone. SILAS WIFE.

c. E. SIS WAY TO MAKE APPLE
 BUTTER.

Editor and Cornerites. What a beautiful afternoon, after having such a nice rain, which we all rejoiced to see.
 Bluebird: Where are you? Can't we have a song from you? We have not heard from you in a long time surely you have not flown south, as we are having beautiful weather now for bluebfrds. Also, what has become os Guess? How does the new auto get along. suppose you are learning
 Ready: Are you busy with that shuttle nowadays; and doing other fancy work that you have not written in so long? We should like to hear from you, and how you like your new Wood Box. Cold weather will soon be here, and you will have to have the man of the house get busy filling the wood box for you. Have you heard from Sweet William? We have not had a letter from her in long time. Has she changed her pen name2 We like to see so many new writers join- ing The Corner, but hope the old writers won't forget to write.
 Bright Ray: I think can guess you out. If am right you are to move soon. Where you live now there are many trees. Have I guessed right
 AS one of the Sisters called for the recipe to make apple butter, will send it in.
 The day before you get. ready to make your Apple Butter, select nice apples. cut out all bruises and specks then slice apples without peeling them; put layer of sugar in your can, then a layer of apples, and so on until your can is full. putting sugar On last; set aside until morning. As soon as breakfast is off the stove. place your can on the stove, with four spike nails under the can, to hold the can up off the stove. A large lard can is best to cook it in as it wants to be covered with a cover; and to be cooked slowly for eight hours, without taking the cover off Be sure and not lift the cover while cooking, for when the air reaches the apples they will fall to the bottom and stick After cooking the specified time,i take can from the stove and run apples through col ander to remove the peel Flavor to suit your taste. Add one cup vinegar place can back on stove and cook up; then put in cans and seal.
 The beauty of making apple butter this way is, you can cook it and go right on with your other work, iron ing, sewing or whatever is at hand The butter will be rich color and dne-grained.
 Best wishes to all.

new thought is something to thinl about and to live by day hy day Knowing it teaches me to believe il Gods love and Gods goodness, and ts carry out Christ's last command "Lov, ye one another"
 1 can see Gods love in all of life 1-must live right and do right, or shall reap what I SOW.
 l. don't believe in gossip, war, hatred vile talk, or anything that will defilt my spirit. as that is part of God that lives in me.
 If I take my sister and brother by the hand and lead them up to a more secure place for their feet to stand then if my feet should wander out where the, weeds and thistles grow, He would lead me to his haven of love with His kindly hand.'' ,
 I think Aunty has not studied UT this great question of new thought which teaches love to all mankind no evil only as man looks at it; each in their own way through theiI eyes. It is so much easier to con demn some other mothers boy or girl than our own. New thought says Inc fear!" Send out the thought all is well, and it will be, because God has said ask any thing in his name in faith, believing, and you shall re- ceive. Do you doubt Gods word? don't, for God is love. See it in nature. This morning all is so bright and full of life and only man thinketh evil.
 Lucinda: Welcome. Hope .yot: could make your apple butter. Years ago up in the old hills of New Hamp- shire we used to call it Boiled Cider Apple Sauce, and the writer of this used to go down in the orchard where huge kettle hung on iron hand-irons, with fire underneath, and boil many barrels of cider now ready to put in the cellar to be used for their apple sauce. Those were the happy days of girlhood.
 Dan: Am glad you decided to stay among the old New England hills for awhile. for think none better. I was in California too, but saw nothfng there like home except the old Pa ciic Ocean. I liked the people very much. but to live out there one must have a pocket that has no bottom was what I found. I also found many things strangely different from the East. One was the lack of chimneys, and so many tanks to heat water, was rather amusing to us.

IS A WISH A PRAYER.

Editor of the Social Corner: The l question has been asked, 'Ts a wish a prayer?" and it deserves an affirma- rtive reply. It is if it comes from ar earnest heart.
 It Is apparent that the prayer o1
 words Is not the most effective prayer When the scriptures admonish us tc pray without ceasing, it does not mear l for mortal man to keep up constant jabbering. to play the part of a luna tic and distress his family or neigh. bors. Unceasing prayer Is not to be
 made in words. but it may be express | ed by a devout desire of the heart an ever present wish to be good, to be a worthy son or daughter of God. Luther said: The fewer the words the better the prayer" and no won der for it does not take words long to run into palaver.
 Perhaps a few good definitions O, prayer will help us all to know wha prayer is.
 Phillips Brooks says: "A prayer i, tur- ed Godward"
 Another writer says: 'The deepes wishes of the heart find expression ii secret prayer" This Is why we are counselled to go into our closets SC to pray as not to be heard of men. If we wish to. be heard of men our mind is not concentrated in it's pur- pose.
 Still another writer declares: "Hu- man life is a constant want and ought to be a constant prayer" Conscious ness of our wants and consciousness of Gods loving presence and bounty creates this condition of constancy.
 It was Robert Burns who uttered the great truth: They never sought in vain who sought the Lord aright' When our prayers are not answered we doubt the goodness of God instead of the state of our own heart. .,Phllips cautioned us to Remember whatever warrant we have for pray ing. we have the same warrant to be- lieve our prayers will be answered. D and Olshausen ayers: Every prayer that is really such-that is, which flows from the, inward necessity of the souf-God answersi"
 How can we pray right if we do not know what prayer is-do not sense our close relation to the Holy Spirit. have a mind filed with doubt and fear. and really have no faith in the Divine promises.
 The Social Corner sister who sent in the inuiry: :1s a wish a prayer? % will have helped us all if we give this sub ject the attention which is it's due.

 beauty has birth, And follows our fallen race; Iris the shadow of Eden that fingers

 It is felt in the fiuttering leaves of the
 trees,
 And heard in the hum of the bee; Iris the rythmic song in the soft sum
 mer breeze,
 And the pulse in the heaving sea. In the flowers that bloom at the breath
 of the morn,
 And the glow on the evening sky: A thousand new joys for the earth are
 aye born, To gladden. the ear and the eye. Sweet whispers are these of the past
 Golden Age,
 When the earth was the Garden of God:
 Long. long before sin marred Creations fair page,
 Or man in wars pathway had trod.

 For heavens own glory was near: For all men then, tasted the heavenly birth, And they knew not a sorrow or tear But beauty, sweet beauty, still whis- And the song birds still greet us with joy.
 For the heavenly spheres seek our cold hearts to move. Lest evil all manhood destroy. These are signs and sweet omens of glory to come When the prodigal race shall return And. seek once again the Fathers own home. E. And from follies and evils shaii turn. For the gate of fair Eden still stand eth ajar,
