He was fond of n joke, and had a sly, peculiar, waggish kink in his nature, which led him frequently to turns'of so me pretty cute tticks. On one occasion a young man named Nelson lieers, appiled to him (or the use of a horse to ride to Danbury, a distance of three miles. Nelson was an apprentice to the shoe making business, nearly out of his lime ; was not overstocked with brains, and lived a mile and a half east of our village. My father thought it would be better for Nelson lo make his short journey on foot, than to be at tfie expense of hiring a horse— bat he did not tell him so. We had an old horse named "Bob," that having reached nn age beyond his teens, was turned out in a big lot near our house to die. He was litterally a "living skeleton," and was much in the same condition of the Yankee's nag, which was so weak his owner had to hire his neighbors horso to help him draw his last breath. My father therefore in reply lo Nelson's application, told him that the livery horses were all out, and he had none at home except a famous "race horse," which he was keeping in very low flesh, in orderao have him in proper trim to win a great race soon to come off.

Rye, Barley, and Oats were ilife food of the vast majority. The average wages of working men was at least one half less than is paid in England for the same services at the present day. One fifth of the people were pnupeis, or recipients of parish relief. Clothing and bedding were scarce and dear. Education wns almost unknown to the vast majority. The housos and shops were not numbered in the cities; for porters, coachmen, and errand runners could not read. The shopkeeper distinguished his place -of business bv painted signs and graven images. Oxford and Cambridge Universities were little better than a modern grammer and Latin school in provincial villages. The country magistrate nsed on the bench language too coarse, brutal, and vulgar for- a modern lap room. Fine gentlemen in London vied with cach other in the lowest ribaldry and, the grossest profanity. The poets qf the lime, from Dryden to Durfey, ministered to the popular licentiousness. The most shameless indecency polluted their pages. The theatre and brothel were in strict unison. The church winked at the vice which opposed itself to the austeie morality or hypocrisy of puritanism. The superior clergy with a few noble exceptions, were self-seekers and courtiers ; the inferior were idle.ignoruut hangers-on blaspheming squires and knights of the shire. The domestic chaplain, of all men living, held the most unenviable position. "II he was permitted to dine with the famly, he was expected to content himself with the plain est fare.

"You will find some panes of glass broker, in the pulpit window, and possibly you may suffer from the cob'. The cushion, too is in a bad condition ; but 1 beg of you not to say anything to my people on the subject. They are poor," elc O, no!" says Mr. Adams. But ere he left home, he filled a bag with rags, and took it with him. When he had been in the pulpit a short time, feeling somewhat incommoded by the loo free circulation of I the air, he deliberately took from the bag a handful or two of rags and stuffed them into the window. Towards the close of his discourse, which was more or less upon the duties of a people towards their clergy, man, he became very animated, alid pur. pesely brought down b"lh his fists, with a tremendous force, upon the pulpit cushion. The feathers flew in all directions, and the cushion was pretty much used up. He instantly checked the curn nt of his thougl.t, and simply exclaimed, "Why, how these feathers fly !" proceeded. He had fulfilled his promise of not addressing the society on tnat subject, but had taught them a lesson not to be misunderstood.
