The Cidervitle Circuit. (1,350t1 Tun 10131'0 410111 ) Dssn Jnss,—Ime not in no trim at all today to undertake to write you a letter, but its seeb monsue hard work to do nuthiu that Ive kum to the knnklushuu that mebbe Ida better try it. In trim. min up a saplio the other day to make a boom to howl sum hay to Deets Piltester, that I had ben a promisin to git to him fur a month, I had the bad luck to let the ax slip and ant my foot so bad that Ive had to etiok purty klose to the house ever sense. Its ben dredful tuff on me too, I tell you, to hav to set in a rockin cheer and nose any foot, when thru eery winder lookin out ov the room I oud see how turrible behiudhalld we was with our work. Its an awful sIrane on a man like Me to be laid up when he knows haze a luzin sumthin by it Bury time the Mock ticks, fur jest like es not the hired Band will be asleep in the barn more than an hour after it has stopped raisin amuff fur him to be at work. I tell you, Jess, its a turrible thing that theres a gittiu to be so many hands who wont dig post holes ez stiddy as they ort when they kno that tbeyre not a beim watched. I karat begin to tell you what looesum biznisa its ben to me nuther, to hav to set in the house and hold my thorns and watch the clock, withoat nobody to tawk to, and not it walnut in the house to crack, for yon see I karat do like sum fokes, set all day and read a book, and feel about ez well satisfied ez tho, Ide ben at work. After Ive looked at the Cider - villa Skorpion fur a little spell, to see bow Major Stinger has ben a slashin in. to eveythiog 031(0, frum the new hoes troff at the town pump, out ov which tukel Peeleg will hereafter 1110 to wet his head when things dont go to suit him at the church, to the way the fokes down at Washington is a karryin on the guver• ment, Ive had about as muton readin ez I kin stand at wun stretch, fur nay eyes will begin to feel ez the they was fall ov smoke, and my ears will buzz ez tho I had ben a takin quinine fur a week. So you see that about the only thing I kin do, after Ive looked at the almaknick to see what kind ov weather we are a goin to bav next week, is to jest set and think, and think and set, ontil I wear myself klear out, onless the butober happens to kum along and giv mea chance to spend an hour or so in making a bargain to sell him a kaff. Wun afternoon a tin peddler happened to kum this way, the they dont often do it, and I dun my best to git him to stay till night by havin him 0arry in about evry thing he had in his wagin fur me to look at, but I oudent quite do it, tho I did hold him fur most a hall an hour after he had got into his wagin and gethered up the lines to drive off, by hol. lerin to him thru the winder that if he wud fetch it in, I wud boy another tin knp. This mornin Jim Teester kum along with his gun on his shoulder, on the hunt fur a bird to make sum broth fur Broth- er Sollymun Gimpzes oldest gal, who had been fur quite a spell down sick, and by eympathiziu with him over his dog, that I told you was dead, I drawed him up to the winder and got him to stay there and lawk to me fur a kupple ov hours, I shod think. This afternoon tho, there paint ben a soul kum ny the house, and Ive hen obleeged to get all alone and kount the stripes in the karpet and think. The only thing that happened, outside ov hearin a rooster krow or the clock strike, was 8eein a wagin go along the pike on its way to town with a load ov wheat. That sot me to thinkin about Jid Pillars, who is the hed miller in Kurnel Brasses steam mill, and after thinkin about Jid fur a spell, and what a master hand he was to break a hoes, it sot me to thinkin whet a queer woman heze got fur a wife. 1 dout reckon yuve got any each fokes out your way, and so I bleeve Ile tell you about her. The kurus thing about Sister Pillers is her health. She may be up and around Even hoar, and the next down mak in bed, so Brother Gunflint ynet to tell me when he was the pasture on tubs sirkut. And the strange part ov it all is, that whether ebo ie sick or well most ginernliy depends on what happens to be a goin on at the meetiu house. She will be ez well as a kricket whenever there is an ice kreem doing or an oster supper or a koncert or any kind ov a show fur the benefit ov the ohuroh, and yit nine times out ov ten she will bo took with a jumpin beadake on prayer meetin night, and dorm a per• traokted meetin what the poor woman sellas from etummik trnbble and roomy. tis is sumthin I reckon no mortal bein knows. It jest peers 0z tho nuthin in the shape ov doktur stuff kin ever giv her a bit ov help ontil the meetin has run its course and ben wound up, onlees the wife ov sum wheel boss in the ohuroh happens t0 hav sum kind ov a party at the house to which the sick woman gite an invite, and then it duz beat humin flax how t mok she will stop rubbin herself with liniment and begin to frit her bangs and powder her face. It jest peers that her stumrnik will kno samhow that its got to • begin to behave iteelf from the very minit she gits the invite, and it will tend to things ez nine as a kitten drinkin milk ontil the bell begins to ring fur. meetin nice fur her to set her foot outside ov the home, and so Jid will hay to go to meetin by hieself. Its wonderful too, how a few drops ov rain or ev little 031010 about m0e1511 time on Sunday will giv that poor woman seen 11 dreadful spell ov oewralgy that it most makes her ekreem at the bare thawts ov goin to ohuroh, and yit on Monday you will ase her out with a big un1berel and her waterproof klokeon, a ekippin around here and there thrc pouriu rain a huntin fur a meet to make a 11010 131322 ov cake. There may be fokes whose heads ie big ttnuff to understand why things shod he that way with Sister Pillers, but I want to tell you that mine halm. It peers to me that its about oz hard to akount fur 8z it is to find out what it is that starts a dog fight. Altogether different from this is the MEM of Levi Prisket, who will stop his work soy time fur a ohanee to go to meetin. I dont bleeve you over seen any- body in all your life, Jose, who has seoh a turrible appetite fur preoehin ez Levi 13as got, and the hunts part ov it 12 that the longer a sar1nint is the butter he peers to like it. Ive seen bits eat and watch the preecher so kloee fur an hour that his eyes peered to fairly pop, and yit hese never ben known to put ez motels as a hose shoe nail in the hat. He gust to belong to our meetin twelve or fifteen years back, but he had a fuse with Kalup Chiller about sum fence posts and drawed his letter out. Sense 11301 time hese ben a pickin up his preeeh- in wherever be cud git it, and Iine nob the only wun to mistrust that its ever kost him a red cent. Wun Sunday he will kum to oar church to hear Bruther Sun- shine preach, and mebbe the next he will go to hear Mister Kadmus read his peeoo at the prisbyterian church. The next Sunday he will go and try to fellerebip with the babtists, and the next it will be middliu certain that he will be a soffits under the preecbin ov the Bruthren fokes, and so he will go onbil hese got kleer around the patch, and then he will go bank and begin over again. It beats all too, how spry Levi will git around when be hears that there is a. per- traokted meetin a goin on eumwhere. If 130 happens to be a makin a pair ov boots fur you at seoh a time ez that, you might jest as well make up your mind to git alone with your old wens ontil that meet - in winds up, fur it will be moderitly certain that he wont git =tab more dun tords um than cabin the leather out. He will be on hand at evry meetin, both by day and by night, and jest like ez not his wife is a havin to saw and split all the wood. Heze ben known many a time to go ten miles from home that way to tend a pertraokted meetin, and be gone a whole week at a stretch, and yit he will set on hie shoe bench and tawk to you by the hour, a tryin to prove that there haint nothin but hippykrits any more in the ohuroh. Akordin to his tellio the good peepul all died a good while ago except him. I kant make out why Levi shod want to go to meetin so motels and yit tawk like that. The more studin and thinkin I do about it tho, the better satisfied I am that,tbis world is full ov quaerfokes. But I see that -Onkel Peeleg has jest role up on his spotted hose, and so I bleeve Ile atop my letter and quit, fur I kin write to you when I karat do nuthin else.
