THE HUSKING ftF THE CORN.
Merry Gatherings Recalled Oy Iba
< j Rev. Dr. Talmaitga^ \J ■ >-
• Pot ftp ThMBMlftt.
“Going at the rate of forty
hour last Wednesday," said Mr. -
madgo yesterday morning, “I got
sermon. It is estimated that theregre
now two billion bushels of dote,either
standing in the shock or having been
already husked. In the latter part of
this month or the next month . the
farmers will go from ong farm Ho
another, and they wilt' put < oi» their
rough husking aprons, andtbey taijll
1 fiit' s-naMLiyg
of Imn with a leathenrloop to ranten
it to tlie hand, and they will WH|)ttet
husking peg unsheath the corn from
the husk end toss it up Into the golden
heap, and then the wagons will come
along and take this wealth of grain to
the eorn crib. How vivid the remem
brance of husking time! It was a gala
day—a frolic. Roaring mirth greeted
the late farmer as h$ el Imbed the
fence—joke and repartee, and rustic
salutation. The husking pegtds
thrust in till it strikes' the command
then the lingers rip oft tt^'sbeathtag
ot the ears, and there is a crack as the
stem Is snapped of! from the'ear, and
the grain, disimprisoned, la tossed up
into the sunlight. The air Ir a tonic,
the work is so exhilarating,, the com
pany is so blythethat some laugh, and
some shout, and some sing, and some
Imuter, and some tease a neighlmr -for
a romantic ride along tlie edge of the
woods, and some prophesy as to the
number of bushels to the field, and
'others go Into competition as to
winch shall rifle the most com shucks
before sundown.
••The scene tills our memory part
with smiles, but more with tears, as
we remember Hint the farm belongs
now to other owners. Recent discov
eries have shown that the ancient He
brews knew all about Indian maize.
Grains of corn exhumed from undent
crypts, where they were put many
centuries ago, have been planted in
our time, and have come up
just such Indian pom as we
raise In New York ant] Ohio.
“.Many |>eople talk of death, the
husking time, as if It were fhedistress
of distresses, instead .of being the
blessing of blessings, it Is‘movlug
out of the cold vestibule Into tbe warm
temple; it Is migrating into groves of
redolence and per|ietual fruitage; it is
changing from bleak March to roseate
June; It It the transmuting of the iron
handcuffs of earthly Incarceration
into the bediamonded wristlet of a
perpetual festivity; it is husklugtime,
llusklng time is the time of frost, hut
\vc remember bow, when the sun was
high and all the frost gone from the
earth, hilarities awakened tbe echoes,
and tlie shout from onecoru shuck
went up anti was answered by that
front another. The death of our
friends is the nipping of many of our
expectations, the frost of tuuny of our
hopes. We stand beuutubed in body
and mind and soul, and say; ‘Shall
we ever get over it?’ ‘Yea,’ I say
and we shall look back to all these
distresses of bereavement as tlie tem
porary distresses of husking time. If
the husk Ct>uld have spoken it would
have said! “Why do you lacerate me;
why do you tear me; why do you pain
me; i by do you wrench me? God iius
arranged that the car and (he husk
should lie parted, and he has arranged
that (lie body a..d the soul shall be
parted. Your physical distresses only
forward tlie soul's liberation. Every
rheumatic pain is but a thrust of tbe
husking peg; every neuralgia twinge
is only a twist of tlie husaSr, Tlie
I.ord is gradually and mildly taking
away \, hut hinders yoor soul's libera
tion, doing gradually for you wlmt
for some of us in robust health he will
tlo in one fell blow; the heavenly hu»
bondman is husking oIT the mortal to
release die immortal.
“At the husklug time there Is al
ways some corn put in a place all by
itself which we call nubbins. Some
»( it was mildewed, annta of it was
tiiou e-nibbled, some was at great
promise and no fulfilment, all coband
no corn. Nubbins were worth saving,
but not worth much. So there are
people who amount to little.- They
develop into small usefulness. They
are nlidded on ode side by tbe world,
wild nibbled au the Other side by the
devil, und mildewed alt aver, ol great
ptontisc and on fllUtossbsH not tod
no corn. I suppose many of Un»n
will get Into heaven. But who would
not rather be torn, and pinched, and
luceratcd, and wrenched, and husked,
and at butt go In among the very best
corn of tbe granary than to bo.pro-
nnuiici d nubbins?"

That night, a coarsely dressed Ger
man youth, vulgarly inebriated, was
thrust Into the apartment of the pris
on in which Moirellet was confined—
much to Molrellet’s disgust.
The German, however, dropped in
onecornerof the cell and slept sound
ly all night, only at times muttering
aslf In his dreams such sentences as:
“Vot I care uohow,” “I got dot gold
sure," “Vot could dey prove*’’
“Bclimidt, shake bauds, uiit myself,

In the morning Moirellet gave .the
turnkey a piece of silver and request

cutlet for breakfast done well brown.
“Und gif me also a preakfast of veal
