Uncle I+Iii suggested that I ask. Hope to go with me. "Prance right up to her," he said, "an' say you'd be glad of the pleasure. of her company." It seethed to me a very dubious thing to do. I looked thoughtful and turned red d in the face. "Young pian," he continued, "the boy- thet's Blrad \o' women '11 never hey whiskers." "How's that?" I inquired: • "Be seairt t' 'elecath;" ;he answered. ""fore they've .heti time ° t' -start. Ye want t' step right up t' the rack je's'!'it ye'd bought an' paid fer yerself an' was proud o' yer bargain." I took his advice, and when I found Hope alone In the parlor 1 came and nuked her, very awkwardly as I now remember, to g.' -with me. She looked at Inc. blushing, and said sheiwould ask her mother.- • And she did, and we walked to the ec .aoolhotise together .that evening. her Wind holding lay arum timidly, the most serious pair that ever struggled .wlth the problem of deportment. on such an occasion. I was oppressed with a heavy sense of. responsibility in every word I uttered. Ann Jane Fo:ter, known art "Scoatec Jane," for her rapid walk and Stift' car- riage, met us at the corners on her way to the schoolhouse. "Big turnout, I guess," Anicl she. "Jed Feary an' Squire Town is cumin' over from Jinglevllle an' all the big ;.ruin 'll be there. I love t' hear Jed Feary speak. Hess so techin'." Ann Jane was always looking around for some evelit -likely to touch her feel- ings. She went to every futleral Faraway, 'and when 'sorrow w tu; scarce in her own vicinity journeyed far in quest of it. "Wouldn't wonder 'f the. fur flew when they git t' gain'," she remarked; and then hurried on, her head &meet, her body inotiolilees, her legs flying. Such energy as she have to the pursuit of mourning I -have never seen equaled in any other form of dissipation. The schoolhouse ,was nearly full of people when we came in. The big iroys Were wrestling in tileward. -Men -ware lounging on the rude seats inside- idly discussing crops slid cattle and lapsing into silence frequently that bore the signs both of expectancy and reflection. Young amen axed young women sat to- gether on one side of the house whis- pering and giggling. Alone among them was the big and acentric granddaugh- ter of Mrs. Bisue> te, who- was always slapping some youngster for imperti- nence. Jed Feary and Squire Town sat together behind l pile of books, both looking very serious. The long heir and beard of the old poet Were now white and tris form bent with age. Ile cause over and spoke to tis and took a curl of hope's flair in his stiffened fin- gers and held it to the lamplight. - "Whet . silky gold!" he whispered. " 'S a skein o' fate, my dear girls" Suddenly the schoolteacher rapped on the desk and bade us come to order, and Ransom Walker was called to the chair. "Thea there is talent in Faraway township," he said, having reluctantly come to the platform,: "and tiilent of the very highest order, no 'one can aany who has ever attended a lyceum as the Howard schoolhouse. I see evi- dences of talent In every face before me. And I wish to ask what are the two great talents of the Yankee -tal- ents that made our forefathers famous the world over? I pause for an an- swer." THE HURON OSIT Ile • bad once been, a schoolmaster,( itnd. that accounted for his didactic ! styi'e. "What are the thea great talents of the 'ankee?"„ he repeated, his hands clasped before hills. "Doughnuts an' pie," said Uncle E'.b, who sat in a far corner. "No, . sir," Mr. Walker answered. "There's some hev a talent fersawizi' wood, but we don't count • that. It's war an' steakin'--they are the two great talents of the ' eakee. But lois greatest talent IS the gift o' gab.

An' when his enemy is another Yankee "---'vs hy,: they both git licked, jest as it was ill the ease of the man thet sold me liglitnin' rods. He was sorry he done it before I got through with him. If we did not encourage this talent in our Sons they would be ttilked to death by our daughters. Ladies and gentle- men, it gives me pleasure t' say that the best speakers in Faraway township have come here t' discuss the important' question: -" 'Resolved, That intemperance has caused more misery titan•-S'ati`.'

It was a. mouth fasts- loved for odd sayings: He was well to do and boasted often that he was a self made man.. Uncle ;Cb used, to say that if Mose Tupper had had, the "makin` uv himself he'd oughter done it more careful." I remember not much of .. the speech he made, but the picture of him as he rose on tiptoe and swung his arms like a lean fighting bees and his drawling tones are as familiar as the things of yesterday.

The narrowness of the man that saW so much where there was so little In his own experience and in the trivial events of his own township was what I now recognize as most valuable to the purpose of this history. It was a nar- rowness that covered a multitude of people in St. Lawrence county in those days. Jed Feta7 was greeted with appleuse and then by respectful silence when he rose to speak. The fame of his Cerse and his learning had gone far beyond the narrow boundaries or the township in which he lived. it was the biggest thing in the county. Many a poor sin- ner -who had gone out of Faraway to his long home got his first praise inetha obituary poem by Jea retire-.
