What good and a body with savin habits git out ov the pre801110 ov a man they knowed had ben• a dein his best to try to git into the poor house? Unkel Peelog sed he hadent gone to the fare bi0self, bekawe be jest felt ez tho he kndent afford it, the way times was, tho his wife had pouted over it most a month, Burin whioli time she made him do all the ohurnin, and yit he sed it wudent it coat him anything but the (rate on 1111n and his old woman, believes they both had sum kuzzine in Shekawgo emu. ors, and yit his preeoher coil go and stay a whole week at a tavern without so inutoh as winkin over it. This convinced -Onkel Peeleg more than ever that we was a payin our pasture too mutoh wages. He had snspishuned that seoh was the case fur months, bekoz evry time he went past the pae0unidge he oud smell sumthin a fryin that he oud almost swear was fresh meat. with oath things ez this before us, be thought it was our bounden duty to stir around amunget the stewards and git them to hold a meetin and do sumthin tords outtln down the preachers wages. He dident bleeve that no man end open the Bible fur his mem• bars rite when he was a gittin so well paid fur it that there was a danger ov his gittin rich. We sot on the fence and tawked about it far an hoer while we both whittled, and then *Onkel Peeleg got onto his spotted boas agin and rode off. I told him I was in for anything that wud make a preacher stop bein extravagnt and behave hiseelf, The dog has begun to howl at the moon so bad that he bothers me, and eo I bleeve Ile quit. So no more tonight. From your bruther, 8I1.08 GANDERFOOT. The Oiderviile Circuit. (1110x1 TIII) 11.1.)I'6 HORN ) Demi JEss,—when these few lines reaches you they are to inform yon that I hav got back home agin from the fare, and that Ime terrible glad ov it. I tell you what it ie, this thing ov bein away from home so long has ben about the big- gest etrane on me I ever went thru in all my life, and to git back home where I kin go to the dinner table without any Rote and wear a shirt without no bozum in it, makes it peer to me now ez tho the sky cadent never be anything else any more than bright. I tell you it seems like livin agin to hav bhe privilidge ov goin out to the barn mornin and avenin and oallin the hogs to kum tip and eat, and it dont peer to me that I ever know - ed before jest how inutoh kumfort there was in an old straw hat. 1 was so glad to git home, where fokee wouldent think I was a tryin to rob the house if I shod happen to gib up and undertake to start a fire In the kitchen stove before daylight, and hav a chance to stir around and keep my pores open by ynzin a 1300 or a pitch- fork, that if the old woman had asked me to take a bucket and go out and help her do the milkiu, I bleeve my sonll wud a dun it. I never knowed before jest what a satislakehan it is to hav a kupple ov hundred akers ov air far your own breathin, that (you kin feel moderitly certain haint got no smallpox ner fever pizen in it, and to be able to set down to your own table and eat your fill ov kow- kumbers and other things that haint ben fumbled over fur a week in a grocery by peepul who hardly ever wash their hands with lope, is sumthin that never meant quite so mutob to me ez it dnz at this mfnit. Ov korse I find things has got terrible behindhand on the farm, and there has ben altogether too mulch settin in the shade by diem that ort to ben hard at work, but by gettin out sirlier in the mornin and keepin things a goin on the keen jump as long as a body kin see to pull a weed at night, I am in hopes that mebbe eveytbing will kum out all right. Its a wonder that even when you pay a man fifteen dollars a munch Uwe wet an dry to see to things, he wont haff do it Was heze watched. I was robbed out ov kuneiderable means in wen way and anatber at the fare while I was gone, and now that Ime back home agin I find that the hired band has also had his hand in my pocket, but as Semanthy had the gumpehun not to pay the feller all his wages, I recken mebbe I kin trust myself to kind ov square up that. Ov kora° the fust thing I dun when I got back wee to tend the meetin ov the Baff Raizere E.lub, and put in my bill aginat um fur the expenses ov the trip, fur I was ankshua to git the munny back into my hands agin so that I might be on the lookout fur a chance to put it out at interest. I figgered in eveything that cud be figgered, frum what it cost me to tide on the care, and what I spent fur peanuts. I dont expeckt notbin else but what they) cut it down elm, but I was keerful to make it big aouff to pervide far tiimmin. Wun thing I dont like ie that Dave Smook ie on tbe kumitty that the bill was turned over to, and Dave haint never liked sue wuth a Dent sense the time him and me had cow trade six or eight years ago. Ime sorry to say that meetin matters on tbe eirkub haint ben a goln on quite ez well as I was in hopes they wud. Evey- body peers to bo purby well satisfied with Bruther Sunshiues preeohin, and yit the stewards kumplain that its about oz hard to git fakes to pay quarteridge ez it is to start a bawky hose. Anuther thing is that altho the preacher dont peer to make no body mad with his sarmints, still he dont hav the limit in gittin in jiuer0 that sum ov us 'counted on when we %vas a fig. germ to hav him seat to the eirkut. The peepul will turn out to hear him and fill up the house at evey wen ov his appint. menta, butwhen tbeyvo dun that they sumbow peer to think 0heyve dun snuff, and neether jive meetin ner put any munny in the basket. This is dredful diekorridgin to us wheel bosses who want to see more members a kummin into the 01106011 who hav sum• thin to pay tax on. It may be consolin to sum to see a yungun or a gal kum forad and jine somtimes, but its lots easier fur me to reach out the right hand ov fellorehip to sumbody who kum° to us with munny in his pocket. Gitlin preeohin dun is terrible ext1eneiv0 bizni00 and it stands to reason that no matter how willin sum ov us may be to take things to the passuniclge, and after awhile send a ticket to the quarterly konferenoe cbargin full price fur um, still the preach. er is alwae kumplainin that he cant git along without sum munny, and oule0s a man kin now and then be found who will jine meetin with his pocketbook, it wud puzzle Sollymun hiseelf to toll whore it is a gob) to kum from. The day after I got home "Onkel Peeleg Wilkins put the sheepskin on his spotted hogs and rode down to Bee me, and hav a teak kunsernin meetin matters. Tho old man had ben sufferin right smart while I was away with yellerander°, and it looked to me ez the his face bad eumhow got stretched out a good bit longer, 119 LUclt.now.
