"Yes, sir," answered Joe, rather glad to have some one to speak to. "I only arrived this morning." "Indeed! May I ask from what part of the country you come?" "From Oakville, New Jersey." "Indeed! I know the place. It is quite a charming town." "I don't know about that," said Joe. "It's pretty quiet and dull nothing going on." "So you have come to the city to try your luck?"
"But I don't know if Oakville can supply them." They were soon on the way, each in the best of spirits. Tom began to whistle and his brothers joined in. "Feelin' putty good," queried a farmer, who chanced to be leaning over his garden gate as they passed. "Why not?" retorted Tom. "It's better to whistle than to cry." "Right you are, young man.
Holcroft was not long in climbing to a sunny nook whence he could see not only his farm and dwelling, but also the Oakville valley, and the little white spire of the distant meeting house. He looked at this last-named object wistfully and very sadly. Mrs. Mumpson's tirade about worship had been without effect, but the memories suggested by the church were bitter-sweet indeed.
A few days after leaving Santa Gertruda Ranch, we crossed the Nueces River, which we followed up for several days, keeping in touch with it for water for the herd. But the Nueces, after passing Oakville, makes an abrupt turn, doubling back to the southwest; and the Atascosa, one of its tributaries, became our source of water supply.
Armour & Ramsay, the well-known booksellers; but the only book they announced was that work so familiar to old-time students, 'Walkinghame's Arithmetic. Another literary announcement was the publication of a work, by the Rev. R. Murray, of Oakville, on the 'Tendency and Errors of Temperance Societies' then in the infancy of their progress in Upper Canada.
Returning, he poured out two glasses of milk and said, "Here's to your health and happiness, Alida; and when I don't stand up for the woman who started out to save me from a mob of murderers, may the next thing I eat or drink choke me. You didn't know they were merely a lot of Oakville boys, did you?" "You can't make so light of it," said she.
"They don't know anything of the joys of city life," returned Flapp. "Some of these people have never seen the inside of a real theater." As might be expected, the unworthy cadets lost no time in entering one of the taverns located in Oakville, and here Flapp treated. Then, after cigars or cigarettes had been lit, they proceeded to buy the things desired for the den.
Weeks sobbed speechlessly. Alida could not help overhearing the conversation, and she now glided into the room and stood by her husband's side. "James," she said, "won't you do me a favor, a great kindness?" Mrs. Weeks raised her eyes and looked wonderingly at this dreadful woman, against whom all Oakville was talking. "I know what you wish, Alida," he replied sternly, "but I can't do it.
Why shouldn't I be when you are a good Christian woman? I guess I'm the one to be suited, not Oakville. I should be as reckless as the devil if you should go away from me. Don't I act like a man who's ready to stand up for and protect you?" "Yes, too ready. It would kill me if anything happened to you on my account."
Yet Lake Ontario affords great advantages to both Canada and the United States. The former has the large towns of Hamilton, Toronto, and Kingston on its shores, with the exporting places of Oakville, Credit, and Cobourg. The important towns of Oswego and Rochester, with smaller ones too numerous to name, are on the American side.
