The Exeter Times, 1887-7-27, Page 3Ro Is Jy Neighbor ?
Oh, what a lovelY hunch (sf pansies 1
it possible they are for me 94 .t exclaimed
to a tiny, brown.eyed girl, who placed the
fragrant bouiseet of the geld and purple
dewy blooms in my herrinsock while i Was
idly swinging under the'big maple.
" Auntie Lee sent them," said the wee
child, 11 and she hopes the country air will
soon make you. well, and she' 8 your neigh-
bor down under the hill."
"4 Who is this neighborly Auntie Lee ?"
I asked the woman with whom I boarded
when next the came withia hearing of my
voice.
" U, then, she's sent ye •some posies,' re-
)
marked talkative Mrs. Evans, coming brisk-
ly from the garden Ind sittine down on the
steps of the little porch eo that she might
entertain erie while she was shelling peas,
thus tew birds with one stim,"as
elmsid. I wail a wondering tew myself
uot tew minfstes ago how long 'bwonld be
afor s she'd flna eat about ye an send ye
suthin'. I deans see for my pert, how she
can afford to do as she does."
"Why, what does she do ?" I asked.
"Oh, she says she aims to be neighborly,
and if anybody happens to be sick eny-
where around she seeds little things to
eat, an' flowers to eheer 'em up, as she
says; and she always has her _knitting work
in her pocket, and her odd job O' knitting
as she calls it, grows 'bout like megic into
gloves and mittens and wristlets and stock-
in's thshe gives away."
" TO her friends, people fully able to buy
them, I suppose,"
" Oh, clear, no To poor children, and
tew old matt and women, that I suppose are
real needy, an' that set great store by her
warm an' handsome presents, for her yarns
are as bright as her flowers ; , an' I've told
my man a good. many times that the color,
went half towards malting her little gifts so
welcome. An' then she has so much com-
pany."
" Rich people from the city whose visits
she returns?"
"Oh,land sakes, no ; poor folks, who
are ticled to death to get an invitation to
her pleasant little home. Yes, her home
is an amazin' pleasant one, though her
man is only a poor mechasms. She is al-
ways a sayin' that she'd rather dew a lit-
tle good every day as she goes along, than
to be asvaitin' to dew some great thing
when she gets able, and then p'raps lose her
opportunity and never do lecithin'. I told
her one day last year, says 1, Miss Lee,'
says I, I should rather put by a little
=thin' in the bank for a rainy day, than to
be givin' away all the time.' And says shs,
'Mrs. Evings,' said she, that's your way,
I don't find no fault with it, but all the la-
de things that I give away would never get
into the bank, an' so, you see, they'd be
lost, an' I should pass away without ever
doin' anything for my Master. An' I don't
want to go tew bed a night without think-
ing that I have that day tried to lighten
some fellow mortal's burden ; brought a
smile to some feee, a streak o' sunshine to ,
some heart, if it's only givin' a bunch o' I
_asoeies in the right speerit.' "
"And these flowers cost her a great deal,
first and last, I suppose, said I, caressing I
my pansies.
"Oh, 'twould cost me a good deal to run
such a flower garden as she does; but Miss
Lee says she's not strong,lso she gets fresh I
air, sabbaths, and exercilse in her garden '
and spends her time workin' in there in-
stead of visitin'. She returns all her calls
by sending her compliments with a bunch
o posies."
"She hires some one to carry them about,
I presume."
"Massy, no. There isn't a child in the
village but would run it's legs off for Aunty
nJee, ' and hissing finished shelling her mess
of peas, my talkative little hostess trotted
about her work again, saying as she disap-
pear through the doorway, " It'swellenough
to be neighborly, of course, but Miss Lee
may see the time when she'd a wished she
had a little of somethin' eout at interest."
The crisp Muskoka air agreed with me,
ray health gradually improving, and I stay
ed on week after week, spendiug a great
part of my time, when the weather did not
positively forbid, in my hammock under the
maples. As yet I had not once seen my
neighbor, Aunty Lee, but grew to love her
on account of her pretty nosegays that daily
found their way from her hand to* inine by
one or another child messenger.
One night, late in Augnst, there was a
heavy thunder shower. The sudden down-
fall of rain swelled the little river that skirt-
ed our village to a veritable mountain tor-
rent. A. mill -dam some miles up the stream
had broken away, and the angry floods
came rushing down, sweeping all before it.
" Auntie Lee's husband's shop has gone,"
shouted my hostess, Mrs. Evans, as she
knocked at my door early in the morning
after the storm; " an' that's not the worst
on't, for her garden is all washed out and
undertruned so thatet'll take a purty pile o'
money tew fix it up,again, if ever 'tis 'fixed.
I wonder new if Miss Lee don't wish she had
not been quite so neighborly, an' so had a
littie suthin' eout at interest."
And it really seemed to me as if the
brisk little woman chuckled to herself as
she patted down the stairs. ,
In less than half an hour she came back to
my room with as doleful a looking visage as
I ever saw. .
"Whatever is rtgoin' to become o' me and
my old man?" cried she; " and -we &getting
to be old folks tew. Our savin's were all in
the stock comp'ny up to Minotsville, because
they paid more interest than the bank a
little w i g, and now their
gone clean off, and they'll go to gineral
smash and we along with 'em."
And this time she went slowly greening
down the stairs. I could not help pitying
e woman ro e y .
There was great, excitement in the little
village aft a matter of (murk, but Auntie
Lee was reported to be as " chipper " as
ever. The nosegay came to me every day
as usual, not quite so many, nor so great a
variety as formerly, for apart of the garden
bad been washed away, but enough to give
ine an increasing admiration for the sweet
old lady who Was so persistent and unweary-
ing in her neighborly acts of kindness.
The next 1V-endear's local newspaper had
this unique notice at the head of the village
items
All who have been the recipients of
kindly deeds from Auntie Lee,' and would
like to retiptocitte how, in her day of mis-
fortune are invited to bring their supper
to Oak Grove, on "Thursday afternoon at
5 o'clock, and talk the matter over a
neighborly' cup of tea."
At the time appointed / had a carriage
eistne to take my hostess and me, arid my
basket of Cakes and buns from the bakery
to the beeutifel grove. As we were drivels
along I was surprised to See so many peo-
ple, lunch baskete in hand, speeding in the
same direetion,
" AImoet everybody in town is going,
high/ an' low, rith and poor," said Mrs.
Evans. ,
As 1 was being efiSisteid to a seat, a gen.
tie, motherly little woman spread a eoft
shawl over the baelt of the chair, intended
for rime and quiekly folded another shawl
for my )me foCit to rest upon,
11 This is Auntie Lee," field Mire. Evaus,
and the gweet faced little woman and I
looked into each other's faces with a little
curiosity, perhaps, as well as sympathy and I
shook 'mode cordially,
,1 40,ft kftew what all these good people
are to do with Elijah and me," she said with
a smile that was genial as a sunbeam, 10 but
the minister would heve no come, and be and
his wife drove aronnd for us."
The minister ascended to the platform jest
then, and after tenderly yet impressively
invelting the Divine blessing, he looked be-
nignly clown on the upturned faces, aud
with a tonching intonation of voice, asked:
" Who is my neighbor?" Ile then went on
to telli 'hew Auntie Lee had answered the
question in regard to herself.
" When I first became acquainted with
. .• Lee," e said, ci was
'
flaishiug my theological studies here in the
village with Dr. Mille, .end they ,W jut
married and settled down in their little
house yonder, Whieh they ' had inherited,
One day I was sent for to preach on trial in
the adjoining town of Luxborough. My
only coat was worn threadbare asni exten-
,sively patehed, and I had no way of procur-
ing another, Feeling sorely grieved and
dispirited, 1, started out for a walk, and for
the eake of telling my troubles to some fel-
low creature, with no thought of receiving
anyaid in the premises, I turned into Mrs.
Lee's house and read to her the invitation I
had reetsived from Luxborough, and frankly
told her, why I could not go at the present."
'Lee it to the Lord,' said the good
woman, and forthwith she proceeded to
take my measure with a piece of tape.
"Go home,' she continued, write your
fiermon, and come again Saturday morn-
ing,'
" I obeyed. I subsequently found 'hat
the woman had actually taken. a piece of
cloth that she had laid by in the house for
a cloak for herself, and tailoress as she
was by trade, had made me a coat from it, I
preached my first sermon in it, and shortly
received my first appointment."
"Oh, clear," whispered Auntie Lees from
her seat by my side. ".Re's paid me for
that coat every New Year's day since, and
it wasn't much for me to do after all."
,Major Sanford, the richest man in town,
wa s the next to take the stand. The old
people smiled and nodded their heads, but
the young folks looked at each other and
wondered what he could be indebted to
Auntie Lee for.
"When I was a boy," the Major began,
I was bound out to 11— to a very, very
bad master, from whom I determined to run
away. I availed myself of an opportunity
to escape one Saturday afternoon, when I
was sent to the pasture to salt the cattle.
I came straight over the lake to this
place. I wanted to get out of the District as
soon as possible, so ,came directly to the
bridge down here at the river. I overtook,
on the road, Mr. and Mrs. Lee, young peo-
ple then. They had a basket and a spade,
and had been digging up wild flowers to
transplant in their garden. Although an
entire stranger, they accosted me kindly
Noticing that I had been crying, Mrs.
Lee asked me my trouble. Before
' I knew it I had blurted out the whole
story and had been invited by them to go
home with them and stay over Sunday. I
was, of course, only too grateful to accept
the invitation. After supper we set out
the plants, and then Mr. Lee took me with
him down the hill to the bank of the
'brook,' as he called it then, and into his
little machine shop.' I soon evinced my
fondness for tools and confided to him an
invention that had, in a crude form, long
had possession of my brain. Being a na-
tural mechanic, he saw the utility of my in-
vention at a glance. The subject was not
mentioned on the morrow, which was a
quiet, restful day to me. Mrs. Lee loaned
to me a clean linen suit ls'elonging to her
husband, and I went to churcli with them.
The next clay Mr. Lee went over to H—
and made terms with my master, because
Mrs. Lee eaid that she could not allow me
to feel like a runaway. Then Mr. Lee
took me into his employment and gave me
a corner of his shop where I could at odd
moments work on .my minlel. My inVen-
tibn proved a:success; and made my fortune,
as you all know. I am -thankful, my friends,
that1 am able to repair the damages done
to the dear old homestead. and to rebuild my
Old frieisd's shop."
And Major Sanford sat down wiping his
eyea with his handkerchief, while his audi-
ence applauded him most vociferously.
"Dear heart," said Anna's Les to me,
"what was he talking about ? He's paid
Me over and' Over, and he's tried to make
Elijah go into partnership with him, but he
wouldn't, and I would not let him."
Then followed one minute speeches by
the score
"They kept me three months when I
was tick and homesick," said one.
"1 made 'their house my home for weeks
when I was out of work," said another.
Ten homeless working girls were married
in their parlor, and went out into the world
witle-their blessing. '
, There was a great number of telling little
sipeeches from those who had received
flotvers and delicacies in illness, and warm
garments in time of need.
And so from them all flowed out contri-
butions of money, the greater part of which
was safely placed in bank for the benefit of
the Lees when old age and failing strength

those touching speeches were being made,

Standing On Its Head in a Pail of Water.
i A. singular and distressing accident hap-
pened on Monday afternoon at the residence
of Mrs. Peter Henderson of Paterson, N. 3.
Mrs. Henderson went out into the yard to
get some coal, leaving her four -months -old
girl lying on the side of the bed. When she
returned she found that the baby had in tome
way rolled off end fallen head first in a
pail of water that stood by the bed. The
child was standing ou its head, atone dead,
when found by its mother. It was unable
to extricate itself and was drowned in less
than six inches of water,

who has always been so ready to sympathize '
with her people. Nor can there be any
doubt of the enthusiasm with which she
Was greeted. Mere weariness may account
for comparative silence at some points along
her route; but, speaking genes ally, he was
received with a roar rather than a cheer.
Those who :Argue that monarchy is on itslaet
legs inEngiand, would do Nell to ponder the
lessons which he who rune may read, unless
he wilfully close his eyes—in the spontaneity
'of the celebration, whether in London or in
the country." London," says the Edin-
burgh Scotsman—" the greatest city in the
civilized world—presented a marvellous
spectacle on Tuesday when the Queen went
to the Jubilee thanksgiving service at West-
minster Abbey. Nowhere on the habitable
globe—unless it be in China—could such
erowds have cense together. Nowhere in
China or in any other country could such
rejoicing have been seen. The Queen rode
through miles of the streets of her capital
to the Abbey. Every available inch of
ground was eccupied witis her people from
whom there came shouts of welcome
and of love without a dissentient voice. The
houses were a marvel of decoration, and,
they, too, were erowded even on the roofs.
A brilliant sun shone down upon the great
masses of men, women and children, bringing
out the bright colours of the banners and,
flags which floated lazily in the light breeze.
The people stood for hours that they
might see their Queen and the standing
must have been a trial of endurance. A
French writer, who has not been a friendly
critio of Great Britain, sends forth a note of
kindly envy. The British people, he says,
are mad; and then he declares, we cordially
envy them, and we would give a great deal
could we over be what they are to -clay --a
people mad with joy and happiness. And
then he gives the reason why:
"Happy the people who, having a past of
historic greatness, are able at a given day
and a given hour to pour out from their in-
most heart the same good wishes, sing in
chorus the same hymn, and drink the same
health its unison. There will not exist on
that day one corner of the inhabited globe
in which God. Save the Queen 'will not be
sung by a whole people, or by isolated
individuals. The Jubilee is essentially a
British fete, but as there are Britons all
over the world the fete will be universal."
Strong words these, but true to the very
letter, with their own suggestion and lesson
in every line.
Among all the celebrations in connection
with the Jubilee in London none seems to
have taken more hold of the public tam the
turn -out of the children. Some 30,000 turn-
ed out in Hyde Park under a clear sky with
plenty of space for amusement, an ample
supply of food and other refreshments and
not even the appearance of an accident all
the time. It was in every respect a gala
time and will never be forgotten by any
of the youngsters who took part in it.
At last the celebrated. Dr. Virchow,
of Berlin, has given the Crown Prince's
malady a name. It is pachy durnta var-
icose. As everybody knows what this
means, it is needless to explain it.
