DEER SHMANTHY,—Ez yisterday was Sunday I beleeve Ile tell you about my goin to meetin with Sile and Banner Ann. Iva ben right smart trubbled about Sile even sense Ive been a stayin at his house, on akount ov havin sum turible big euspishune that he had back. slid, fur you kno when he lived at Oider- ville he yust to ask a blessin at the table and look ez sollum on Sundays ez any ov the rest ov us. And besides that he was a steward in the church and yust to growl like sin whenever the time lxum to pay gnarteridge, and him and me and Kalup Chiller and Unkel Peeleg Wittlins yust to set on the kounter in his store by the hour in rainy times when trade was dull, and Silo wud prove, by making Jiggers on the back ov a washboard with a peeoe ov chawk, that if a preacher was only Savin snuff and his wife dun the work, five or six hundred dollars a year was all the wages he needed to sum day git rich. I say Iva seen ea gib so interested in meetin matters in them times that be never peered to noties bow many times 'Onkel Peeleg was a goin to the kraoker bare, nor how ofen Kalup opened the cheese box and helped hisself, and then I mind how energetic he alwas was in put - tin down his foot and eayin no, whenever the preeoher got a noehun into his bead that we ort to lay out Tunny in bildin a, new fence at the paseunidge or doin sum - thin to the rufe, and whenever a new preeoher yust to kum along and hint at the ides that we ort to hav a new ohurah, Sile was alwae ez ready to fight aginat it ez Bruther Sollymun Gimps hisself. In fact, Semauthy, you mind ez well BS 1 do that in them days Bile was ez match ov a wheel hose in the Oiderville meetin house ez me or Grandaddy Nooks. And then there was his wife. Evey body kuoze what an energstio body she was to stew and bake. Whenever means was needed to pay the Boothia fur bildin fires, or to buy the meetin house sum new hym bakes, Banner Ann cud alwas be konnted on to most work herself to deth in helpiu to gib up sum kind ov a supper to save us members the needoes- sity ov havin t0 take munny out ov our trowzie pookete, and I kin remember wun time when she stood on the ground and fried ohioken in a shed that Jim Teester put up alongside ov the meetin house, ontil she tuke the shakee and wee. tent hardly able to git out ov the house agin fur three weeks. In them days they was both sech faith- ful meetin fokes, that when I kum to hav seoh a good chance to save tavern bills by goin to stay at Biles house, I rubber ex. peoted to find that they was both still energetic meetin peepnl, bet when I kum to set down at their table and a darkey put a bowl ov supe on my plate without no blessin beim asked, I begun to feel kuneiderahle joobua, and what made it peer all the stronger that Sile had raaly backslid was, that evey time I wud even hint at meetin matters, and start out to tell him that it was still ez hard no ever to raze quarteridge at Oiderville, he wud immejutly go to tellin me what a terrible dee place this towo was fur =kin munny easy, and in two minibs I wud clear fur- git that I had ever jived meetin myself. When I found out that they had card playin and wine drinkin and dancin right in their own hones, and dident think ho more ov goin to the theatre than I wud ov goin to a ahootin match, I kum to the konklneun that if I dident want to wear out rey welltnm, the :less I had to say about meetin matters the better, and so I made it a pint to tawk more about honest and so on than I did about earminte and sech. Boit may be that you Itis hav enm kind ov a noehun frum this how kmnplete I was struck all in a heap yisterday mora- le at breltfast, when Blls sot down the tumbler out ov which lee lead jest ben a drinkin sum sweetened bitters, and asked me if I wud like to go to meetin with him and Hasner Ann. I had clear !ergot, ontil he oiled my mind to it, that it was Sunday, and felt ashamed that I had laffed out loud at least twice before bre*. fast, but ez soon as I found out what day it waa I due all T cud to make up fur it by puttin on my Sunday ` go to meetin look, and tellin Site that I wud be only too glad. I dont tititk tho, that I wud a ben a bit more supprized if he bad invited me to go with him to the !noon. The blank man fetched out the bosses, hitched to a karridge that had a top to it, and me and Sile, and his wife and their oldest gal got in and sot out fnr chnroh, Ez we pureeeded on our way I dun my best to keep my face drawed down ez long as I cud, but Site had so mutob to say about =kin muuny easy tbat to save my eyes I ancient do it, and without thinkiu where I was a goin, when Site laffed I snickered right in his face. At last tho, the karridge stopped, and the driver got down jest ez I wud do at home in the middle of the week, frum where tie sot, and opened the door for us to git out. I looked all around, but I dident see no sign ov a meetin house. Banner Ann tuke Sites arm and Feeby Jane said sheds wawk with me. Instid ov goin sumers to find a ()hunt] with a steeple on it a hundred yards hy, ez I lowed we wud, Bile led us into the bildin rite in front ov us, and I saw frum a big sign there was there that he was a takin as into a show house, I oant be- gin to tell you bow =bah it went agineb the grain fur me to feller him, but seein that I was a gittin my board fur nuthin at his house, I lowed mebbe Ide better, but I Dant giv you no idea at all ov how terrible distreset I was when I found myself a goin into a theater in broad daylight on Sunday. It wad a ben bad anuff on a week day, bub I cud a stood it better. It ruther 'kabob me to see when we gob into the place, that they had shut out evry speck ov daylight by oloein the winder blinds, and bad tried to make up fur it by lightin eery lamp in the house. To save my life I audent help but think ov the tomfoolery ov goin to all that ex- pense when there wuzzent wun bit ov needcessity fur it, Even if fokes up here do make Tunny hand over fiat, I mut see no sense at all in burnin ib up. A feller with a ribbon on hie hots, who peered to kno Sites fokes, and who bowed like a wilier in the wind to me and Feeby Jane, most kum to ns on the run to pint the way to our seats, whish I found out afterwards belonged to Bile, bekoz he paid m mutob fur mu by the year. The seats was so sitiwabed that we cud not only see the stage fust rate, bat cud look party mutoh all over the house without havin to twist our necks. I was ez feard as cud be that mebbe Site had fated me, and jes like as not Ide hav to set there and see play aoktin dun inktid ov hearin a sarmint, but I kum to the kookieshnn that ez there wuzzent nobody there frum Cider. villa I wudent run the reek ov hurtin Sites !Gelins by goin oat. There was a heap ov peepnl there when we got in, but they kap on a kummin on. til about eery seat in the house was take. While the fokes was a, rollin int sot there and looked at eveything in sight, feelin purty mutob ez a boy duz who thinks heze a goin to git a Hokin but hopes be wont. I was in hopes I was in a good place, but I felt terrible joobus I wuz. tent. I dident see bow good preeohin oud be dun in a plane where the devil had ben a runnin things alt the week. The platform was fixed up to look like a set - tin room at a tavern. An -inept the things in the room was an organ, a good deal like the wun we bad so mutoh fuss about when it was fest fetobed into our meetin house at Oiderville. The tale gate was up and the kunsorn peered to be all rely for onloadin sum ov the muzick that had ben packed into i6 at the facktry. How I did wish that Milly Dumps was there to show the fokes bow we wake up the snakes in Muskeertur kounty. It wuzzent long after we got there ofore the purseedins begun to kummenee. Fast kum a feller with a little black box under his arm out ov which he take a bugle horn that looked ez tho it hadent ben out ov the shop a week. Next was a feller with whiskers all over his face, which I lowed wud be the preeoher, but he sot down at the organ and went to puffin out all the stops. Immejutly fol. lerin him was a ruther spruce lookin young woman with a note book and a big bat with artifishole in it, who pub me ez much in mind ov Jooley Ann Dooley ez anybody I ever seen in my life. Right after her kum the preeoher a lookin ez sober as the he hadent bad his brekfast. He was dreadful thin and walked ez tho he was trouhbled with roomybiz. His hair was short, and so thin in front that there wuzzent snuff ov it to roach. The siogin was led by the feller with the bugle, who dident hav a bit ov troth. ile in makin hieeelf heard above eery body in the house, except one peace which the yung woman had to ding all alone by herself. I must say that she sung so tho shade ben a goin to eingin stride all win- ter stedcty, bet It peered to me a shame to make her stand up before moll a big crowd ov fokee and make all the noise herself, I dont kno but what mebbe Ido a jived in and giv her a chance to kstoh her breath without standin on her toes to do it, but the tune she sung was so dredful full ov skollups. The sarmint that followed dident sound any more like preeohin to me than read• in out ova book. It peered to me that the man dident oven think it wall while to try to preeeh, fur he jest stood there and tawked without any more kunsorn than I wud prime a pump. To a man who has ben raizod on preeobin that gineraliy mattes the winders rattle, I tell you, old woman, mob preeohin ez $ilea pasture due 15 ez tame ez new milk, I watched him ez hlose as oud be, and he dident hit his bible a lick that wad hurt a fly in his whole diakorse. I dont jest mind what his text wag, but it was sum• thin like, we ort to behave ourselves or quit. 1 dident pay so very muboh notice to what he sed, fur I kep wunderin why under the sun ho dident fire up, Ilia kola was buttoned clear up to the obin when he Item in, and it stayed that way ontil meetin was out, so you kin judge fur yourself whether he warmed up match or not. The only thing about the whole biznise that made it seem wun bit like a meetin to me was the pantos around ov the bas. kat. That trade me kno that 1 was in a meetin sure Snuff, and when the steward who passed it begun to git Mee to me I felt es tho ft wud do me good to shut my eyes and slug, "On Jordsae stormy bank" with all my might. Ez luck wild bav it tho, I happened to hav a big koppor in my pocket, and dropped lb in, after filet shuffle my 11azd dredful tits, I thawt if embody dun ez well as I did there wudent bo no reason why the preeoher shad run out ov bread staff before next Saturday night, llveybody near me peered to giv sumthin, the ov korse I sant tell how many betties and buggy wash• ere the steward found in the basket. It most stunned me to see that Site dropped in a whole dollar, without pnttin his baud in to take no change bank, and both Banner Ann and l:'eeby Jena put in Burn. thin, and yit Feeby Jane told one that her pap pays rent anvil fur them seats by the year to buy a bouse and lot, lye ben a kungerin my banes over it rite smart sense, and I Dant see any reesun at all why any ov Silas fokes shod hav pub in anuther Dent, any more than a man shed pay his wife fur doin the bouse• work. But Ivo ben a writin ontil eery lint in me akes like all git out, and so I bleeve Ile sign my name and quit. Yours ever so mutob, SILAS GANDEeaoOT. towels. Rev. 0. C.
