that first winter that six dollars a family wonld be a fair tax makin nigh onto four hundred dollars a year yoa see yet its wonder ful what trouble weve had to a Brother Ralph thought that mebbe if we hada parsonage it would help us so he and the other trustees bought that nice little cottage where Miss Gray used to live with a whole rod of land to it bnt law I want of no use none of em staid the year oat and I was clean discouraged When came high on three year ago he seemed inore reasonable than the rest though he asked if we couldnt furnish part of the for him as only new beginners and hadnt

ofthe three inthe half a dozen tidies for the anda case for his paper and all sent in the first week Youve heerd him preach Miss Har wood and you know how interesting he was and what a beautiful reader and singer too Why I declare I took wal comfort to church and sittin I under and so we did But I was tellin yoi about what we gave him Well Stiles daughter gaily made a of the church and framed it in pine cones to hang in Mr study and the deacon he sent as a cookin stove oat of his own kitchen Hed just bought a new one for Miss Stiles and he come over and put it up himself which I thought was un common kind Then we took up a contribution to buy some furniture bnt ready money just then so we only to git of chiny inkstand Miss Uncle Midian sent in new painted bedstead and a kitchen table and ao I toid Ralph Id give em a of kitchen and onr cradle the one we was both rocked in So I did and pieced a real little quilt a snn flower pattern all of and spaa fay too Well its most too bad to

before us all as if she was preliminary to equally heavy fraid wed touch some of Mr election frauds in the present emergency or books I of the Democratic Bimeby we began to think about set in the table so Aunt Betsy ones and me went out in the kitchen to unpack the contributions There was some and turnips them we put n the a piece of corned two or three biled hams a pot of butter some a big and such a lot of biscuits it would have taken all night to count em I began to be scart when we took out anf ul after panful of biscuit and no cake O speak of At last we caine to Miss basket and there we cake as well as a great batch of molasses cookies I was glad enough Id sent poundcake nd crullers but somehow the table was ready there was more on it han anything elae though we did the best

Betsey said they wouldnt need to jake for a month to come 1 It happened so that I didnt go out much the week after the donation party jut he second Sunday after I started off good and early for church and aa I turned he corner by the parsonage I saw some hing that most took my breath away Every one of them pickets round the house and garden had a good stuck right atop of it Miss jest as sure as you live there was Aunt Betsys nice raised could tell hern by the Miss rusks and Miss Stiless soda bis cuit and every one of em wasted in that shameful way Well I stood and hadnt the strength to pretty soon some of the ladies came along and joined me and there we all stood till the last aell began to ring talkin the matter over and feelin pretty mad I can tell you Mr Ormsby had a good that day but I hardly hear a word my mind waa full of the Mias Ormsby warnt there and M soon as the hut hymn was sung he got up and said he had had a call from a church in the far West and that he had made up his mind that it was his duty to accept it He went on to say that he would like to go that same then without so much aa ns that he waa sorry to leave us or to wait until we could get some one else he gave the benedic tion and dismissed ns I can you there wai talk enough when we got out that some o the folks thought we ought to pint a committee to ask Miss Ormsby about it bnt brother Ralph said No if they waa goin letem go peaceable so they all agreed to say nothin at all We heard afterward from little John ny Hall who was playin near the parson age late on Saturday afternoon that Mr Ormsby he brought the biscuits out in a big basket and then Miss Ormsby she helped him to stick them on the pickets and she laughed all the time as if it was a good joke I dont want to judge anybody but I never did think that woman was fit for a ministers wife and I dont think so now Well they moved off bag and bag gage on Wednesday of that and weve never heard from Mr Ormsby since and I dont knew as we want to seein he hart oar so were never f our d as good a preacher as he wax and never will And this was Miss Melissas story M M U J D t H B w M WM U 1 T W B RANK Corner Franklin and Spring IA Collections
