 The laitdsc4pe 1t tiiat time of Ssaf showed to a great extent what the dif- ferent farmers had been doing during ihs> summer and whether or not 1t had beea a good year.

and asairl II stand on raenorie's golaen' shore, and recall the many happy days I spent in Westminster and Canterbury. In my giFlhood days I used to visit in the vicinity of the old Baclius foundry. My oldest brother learned his trade. there. How we'll I recall those lovely Sunday morning rides. away down over the hills to the Westminster church, where Albert Green led the singing and Sarah Phillips played the little tiny melodeen: and all the boys and girls were ill the chOlf Be- tween the morning and afternoon service we would sit out in the sun if the day was chilly and eat Uur lunches and visit the little cemetery behind tho church and snjey that very inspiring pastiune of rcSd- ing the epitaphs on the grayestones. while the men were talking over their farm interests and the women exchanging ] the news and events since theif last gathering. And then the pleasant ride i home in the cool of the day and the eS en; | of the week was over. unless there Wal l the week evening singing class In the church, when Mir Sears would come uJ from Norwich to teach the boys and Eirh ! how to sing.
 l After some years the eeB1pany though l best to get nearer to the railroad, st ] they built a new foundry down at Can
 terbury and my friends with others o | the neighbors moved down there: Hov
 well remember the good times that Vi had with the dances over to Scotland

 of that day have gone to the summer
