49,
Buffalo, then a busy. crude and rapid
growing center for the shipping east
and west.
There were emigrants on their
way to the Far West In the
crowd-men, women and children and
babies in arms-1rish. English, Ger
mans and Yankees. There were also
well-dressed, handsome young men
from the colleges OF New England
going out to be missionaries between
the desert and the sown."
Buffalo, on the edge Of the mid
land seas, had the flavor of the rank,
new soil in it those days-and especi-
ally that day, when 1t was thronged
with rough coated and rougher tongued,
swearing men ON a holiday, steve
dores and boatmen off the lakes and
rivers OF the middle border-some of
whom had had their training on the
Ohio and Mississippi. There was much
drunkenness and fighting In the
crowded streets. Some of the carriers
and handlers of American commerce
vented their enthusiasm In song.
They had the lake view and its
cool breeze on their way to Silver
Greek. Dunkirk and Erie, and a
rough way 1t was In those days.
Enough has been written of this
long and wearisome journey, but the
worst of 1t was ahead of them-much
the worst Of tin the swamp flats
of Ohio and Indiana. In one Of the
former a wagon wheel broke down,
and that day Sarah began to shake
with ague and burn with fever. Sam
son built a rude camp by the road
side, put Sarah into bed under its
cover and started for the nearest vii
lage on Colonel's back.

good woman wrote to her brother. 1T
endeared the children to me o than

brought water from the creek, a great
quantity, and told me stories and
cheered me In every way they could.

the middle Of the afternoon Samson
returned with a doctor and some tools
and a stick of seasoned timber. How
good he looked when he came and
kneat by my bed and kissed me! This
is a hard journey, but q woman can
bear anything with such a man. The
doctor said 1 would be all right in
three days, and 1 was.
Late that afternoon 1t began tc
rain. Samson was singing as he
worked on his wheel. A traveller
came along on horseback and saw
our plight. He was a young mission
ary going west. Samson began to
Joke with him.
