sat me down upon mound,
To think on life, and then
Concluding that my views were sound.
/ got me up, and turned me round
And walked me home again"
It is not an uncommon act for me to
walk out to Lavinia wood; in fact, do this
nearly every morning in almost all kinds
of weather. But this morning was one
of those that make one think and realize,
The Melancholy Days are come. The
morning was beautiful, as had been those
of many days, the air was fresh and in
| vigorating, and the leaves, nipped BY
the early frost, we're silently around, as
we seated ourselves on the bench of the
preachers stand on the camp ground.
And don't the reader think that we ap-
| preciated our position? To be privileged
to sit where those theological lights of
! John Wesley had sat, was a privilege
| indeed, and we ruminated on the occa-
| sion and called up by memory many
whom we have known in the ministerial
world, who have been an honor to the
church and the christian cause How
ever we had no camp meeting at Lavinia
this year, and some of the church lesser
lights missed their opportunity for do
ing good" How this must have hurt
Ye gods we see some of those fellows
DOW in imagery, clapping their hands
and exclaimiDg to an interesting com
pany, What a glorious time we had
down in Sussex county at the last Lavinia
Camp Meeting !" Though the leaves
are falling, the trees are no means de-
uuded, nor will they be for a month
hence, the accrns are strewing the
ground, and the squirrel and the chip
munk are laying in their winter store. |
II appears that acorns and hickory nuts
are plentiful only every other year, and |
this year is the plentiful year. Along
the branch bordering Lake FaEganzyki, |
going west, the scene at this season is |
superb. The dogwood is crimson with
its glory, the maple presents an iudes-
cent hue, and on the left through the
wood the golden leaves of the hickory
blend IN contrast with the uncertain colors
of the majestic oak. 'Tis delightful to /
oe alone on a morning like this and
drink in the grandeur of our surround |,
lHgs and not alone either, for we are ac-
by pleasant memories and
the fond recollections of bygoue days,
With pork retailing at 40 cents a pound
md salt ham at so cents and other meats
lway up, it is needless for US to ask.

The quarantine ban was not lifted on Y
