years of age, had a wife and thirty

■year of his wedded life Inman in
formed his wife that he intended to
preserve silence the remainder of his

•of an exciting dialogue between his
father and ft near relative. Express

The relation* hetweon tho
.oouplo wero always pleasant, mid
Mrs. Inman 1ms remarked to her
neighbors: “IfiAsael talked as much
as I do, the Lord knows what might
happen.” Mrs. Inman is eighty-
eigiit years old and vigorous. She
slates that, during tho first, few years
,of her hnshaml’K silence he would
frequently mutter in his sleep.
.koine of his written replies to the
questions of acquaintanoos curious to
know why ho preferred sileneo to
speech are worthy of mention. One
retort frequently used was: “A good
listener is to lie preferred to a poor
talker.” Another was: “1 want, to
prove that a man can bo happy mid
hold his tongue.” Another: “I uni
trying to think of something good
.enough to say out loud.” A clergy
man once asked Inman whether he
didn’t think title lain! gave him his
.tongue to lie used. The penciled
reply was: “The Lord gave me a
mind that tells me when to use my
tongue.”
Jn 1812. while traveling with his
•wife in a stage between .Syracuse and
Rochester, the vehicle was halted in
front of a small country tavern. A
child was sleeping on the jHm’h.
Inman, looking out, saw tv largo
black snake crawl to tho side of the
infant. Grasping his wife’s arm. ho
shouted: “Bee!” and, pointing to the
snake, sprang from the stage, pur
sued t he lvptih* some distauoc, and
finally killed it.
Ho lanves a carefully written record
of Ins i fe during some sixty years of
his si lence. Portions of these diaries
are quite interesting, hut tis a rule he
enlarges upon the absurdity of giving
utterance a frivolous though**. He
