On the next morning the farmer's daughter found me very busy in the yard with the pigs, which I was feeding; in fact, the whole of that day I worked hard, because I thought if I could remain where I was until the wonder of our escapade was over, I might eventually get away altogether from England by some unforeseen piece of good fortune.
The farmer's cart-path, which leads directly through their hall, does not in the least put them out, as the muddy bottom of a pool is sometimes seen through the reflected skies. They never heard of Spaulding, and do not know that he is their neighbor, notwithstanding I heard him whistle as he drove his team through the house. Nothing can equal the serenity of their lives.
The practice of leaving money for the sustentation of tomb-stones and monuments, appears to have prevailed for many generations; and may be very naturally accounted for, by the repugnance which most men would feel, to the idea of having their bones knocked about by the sexton's spade, and then wheeled off to the bone-house, if there happens to be a bone-house, or shot into the neighbouring river, or on a farmer's dung-heap, if there is no such convenience as a bone-house at hand.
The difference is great indeed between the clumsy-fisted fellow who knocks together a farmer's pig-pen, and the almost artist who makes a dining-room floor equal to a piece of mosaic. Dr. Franklin speaks with peculiar relish of one of his young comrades in Philadelphia, as "the most exquisite joiner" he had ever known.
It is the affirmation that God's action is regulated by a purpose which is intelligent, unchanging, all-embracing to us because revealed. II. That steady purpose is man's highest good. The end of all the farmer's care is the ripening of the seed. God's purpose is our moral, intellectual, and spiritual perfecting.
It is your duty, you know," and John laughed and bent forward and took in his large brown hand the plump, small, white one she put out to meet his. "Well then, listen John, and see thou mind them: "The rain has spoiled the farmer's day, Shall weather put my work away? Thereby are two days lost. Nature shall mind her own affairs, I will attend my proper cares, In rain or sun or frost."
And while she followed at a distance the large group of people surrounding the farmer's wife, she strove to drive the bad thought out of her brother's mind, as well as out of her own. Dame Landfried at last disappeared into Farmer Rodel's house, and the children quietly turned back.
Ledlow, the farmer's wife, counted her money and reckoned her week's marketing expenses during the first lesson all news to those below were stale subjects here. Old William sat in the centre of the front row, his violoncello between his knees and two singers on each hand. Behind him, on the left, came the treble singers and Dick; and on the right the tranter and the tenors.
I'm Martha Dence at your service: and this is Cairnhope town." "Cairnhope!" cried Henry, and started back, so that his wooden chair made a loud creak upon the stones of the farmer's kitchen. Martha Dence stared, but said nothing; for almost at that moment the doctor returned, all in a hurry, for the letter. Henry begged him to look at it, and see if it would do. The doctor read it.
In the morning he would begin to cut. Annie cocked a questioning eye at the sky, for she had already learned to watch the farmer's greatest ally and enemy weather. "If this good spell of weather only holds until he gets it all cut!"
