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?" THE BAN NO.
