THEM

[COFTRICHT. 1S3« 1

“La sakts! if theer ain’t a yoke of -oxen! The first I’ve seen in this many « year. How like old times it does look to see ’em*! I’ll never forgit oxen, not the longest day 1 ever live, I won’t; ’specially them oxen what Ezekial used to own. I might, come to forgit my name. I s’pose. but I kin never forgit them oxen, never. Ezekial raised ’em himself, and broke ’em in with his own hands; and if any man ever knowed how to break in oxen it was Ezekial Meeks, if 1 do say it. They was known fur and near, was them oxen, and there ■wa’n’t another yoke in the whole country could com pure with them at pullin’. It was move or break with ’em, and it •was ’most gen’ly move: but 1 ouee seen . ’em split a yoke and walk right outen it when they was hitched to a tree at noonin* hour. It was wonderful the ^strength they did have. But they long ago went the way of all flesh, the same as poor Ezekial himself, and 1 doubt if Anybody recollects ’em now but me, “When Ezekial Meeks first began to par attention to me, them oxen was just in their prime, and Ezekitfl was just turned of age. Ewell recollect my father savin’ that if 'Zeke Meeks hud us nvuch thunder an’ lightnin' in him as them oxen had. he was ho fittin’ match for me; and it was his opinion that he had. He was rather ’posed to our mar* l riage; father was., and when finally EzeIkial popjcd the question, and 1 told him 1 was willin’ if h«could get father's eon®ent, father he came right down flat with a big ’No!* “That "as in the spring, when farmin' work Was a-comin’ on with a rush, • ud that was the last I seen of Ezekial for a good while. But. bless yott! I didn’t feel a bit w orried, for at our partin’ Ezekial he just allowed we’d • msat wait a little, so I was sure ’twould be all right, lie Went hdme, Ezekial did, and went to work, and in a little while we heart! he’d bought the farm next his father’s and was settin’ up for himself, father, he allowed as he’d never pay for it in tl> • world; but one of the neighbors said ll/rkiul allowed as them oxen had pulled everything he'd ever hitched ’em to yet. and he reckoned they could null the mortgage often that farm. So

"So Lzekial he came over with his oxen, with the biggest yoke ancl the strongest chain he had, and hitched ’em fast to a corner of the burn. "Me and mother we went out. to look on, and I did jhope and pray that them oxen would do themselves proud. Well. Kzekial he made sure everything wits all right, aud then he took his place at the head of his yoke, with his gad in hand, and gave the word for them oxen to start. Then them oxen leaned for'jd til! they had the chain drawn tight, ant! they bent to and pulled. Lor sakes! they did pull! I kin see ’em this minute howbent They just dug in their hoofs and their backs, and strained every nurve, and I really dojbelieve toy heart stopped beatiu’ ’twixt my hopes and ray fears ‘Hoy!* says Kzekial. ‘hoy!’ and he touehed ’em with his gad. And then how they did pull. Their eyes bulged, tueir tails straightened out like pump handles, and you could fairly hear their bones a-eraekin’. “My hopes wnsbeginniu’ to sink, fur the old barn didn't budge: but I didn’t know what them oxen could do. ‘Hoy!' savs Ezekial again, ‘hoy!’ They was pullin’ together like they >\as one critter. nor givin’ a hair's-breadth of slack, and somethin’ begun to creak. ‘Hoy!* says Kzekial. just once more, and that time told the story. Them oxen seemed to double right up: their noses touched the ground: they fairly groaned; and I ieekon that pull would liavs been the last of ’em. but the creakin’ suddenly gro\v«tl louder, and then the oid barn gave a lurch, and them oxen walkjed right away with it. “Weil, father he was never no hand to swear much, but that time he elappjed his hand down on his leg. and he said he’d be goshed if he’d e vet seen the like! And Kzekial. when them oxen had pulled the bury to where it was w anted, he <*omes to me and takes me by the hands, and says he: ‘Keziah, you are mine, and them oxen has won ye.’ “I never felt so proud in my life. And' father, as he was a man of his word, he allowed that it was a fair dicker, and he wouldn’t lawk out. "No, we wasn't married right away. Kzekial he allowed we had letter wait till winter, seein’ as we had waited so

92xekial and his oven the\ set to work; •and you might say the w hole tow uship got up unto the fence to v. at eh Yin. The next fall, father sets about movin’ his barn. You vet*, it faced north, and father he thought it would be a sight better to have it face south. So 'Lias Drown-he lent his ovn fur a day. and what with father's yoke, tool thc\ thought, they'd have no trouble. Father hadn't 'aid so lie was too spunky for that - but u;e and mother knovcd well * nough he’d liked to have Etekial’l jroke the worst wav. Well, they got the barn around al! right, all but aoout a quarter turn, and there it stuck. They tried and trival, but it was no use, and at last 'Lias he utlovn<d it couldn't be got ’round no further 'th nit acre help. ’“If I was you. tiquaire,’ say she, T'd go over and git 'Zeke Meeks’ yoke.’ ” *\o,’ says father. T won’t do it. not jf I haf to let the oM barn Stand right here.* __ ” 'You'can’t git ‘ary other yoke ’ithin >i\ niile.s,' says ’Lias. * *Theu we von’t move it another ♦ r uoh,* says father, lint he didn’t quite utean that,.for tin* barn was to lie set straight, now* the work was begun; so. after s good deal of blow in'and stormin around. father he fatally iets off to ge Kaekial ami them oxeu. *•’Zeke,’ says father, ‘my barn is stuck so’* we can’t budge it, and I pant you to come over with them oxen o? yourn ami help pull it around.’ ** ‘Squire Hansom,* say* jhrekial, slow and easy like, ’kin l have Keziah?' n.eanin’ me. * ’Cause if I can’t.’ says he, *inv oxeh can’t move your barn.’ " *l»y dud.” says father—and that was as good as a bond in blood with him— T’v dad! Zeke Meeks.’ says he, ’if them oxen of yourn con move my barn alone, you kin bave Keaiah.’ *' ’Then they'd move it, squirts,’ says Xstekial, *tf it ain’t took to root.’

Cold ion:*-, a ml by that time lie'll have the house on hit* own place all fixed up anil ready. So it \vas settled that we wasn’t to in- married till''January. But the time soon passed, ami almost a fore 1 knowed it my wcddln' day was at hand. And it was a time I'll never fcrgit --the same as I'll never fere it them oxen. 1 suppose nobody ever does fergit their weddin' day. -Anyhow, 1 know 1*11 never fergit mine, and while I can recall that day I'll always recollect them oxen, it was them that took us over-to Parson DouloW's little log meet in* house at M tin son’s Corners, where we was yoked for life. “Munson's Corners was a good three miles from our place. and on a night it was considerable of a ride; that w.’ddin* night of ours was a K>Ht the coldest night that winter. But we had a biff party in the sled and s.. tie managed to keep tol’ably warnf. There I was his father and mother and mine j made four; and Kzekial'.s sister Pru-j deuce, she made five; and his brother Joshua, he made six; and Joshua's w ib\ she made seven; and her sister Experience was eight; then my two sisters, they made ten; and my sister Charity’s hus.iai'.d he was **lei»*n; and Kzekial - ami me. we made thirteen. It was don-! lucky number, so father said, but we | jest filled the sled body right up. and by 1 sett in' down flat on the bottom in the < stravy we managed to keep tol’ubly warm, as I said. ' j 1 "father he joked with Erekiai. rayin' he didn't believe them oxen could ever tou us all up Jirasoti’s hill. But Erekial he allowed they could, and of course they did. “This Jihison’s hill wa« long and ] steep, and right on the top of it w as ! Munson’s Corners, and just a httle this side of the Corners stood the old log meet in* house. “Parson Donlow was boldin’ ^'4-act- i

ed mee tin’s at that time, and long afora we got to the top of the hill we could hear Deacon Wilburt’a loud ‘Ament* and Squaire Munson's ringin’ ‘Hallelujah!’ Ezekial and me had talked mafe ters alj over, and we had settled it that the day of our bein’ made one on earth should be also the day of our bein’ made one in the Lord; and Ezekial he had seen I'arson Donlow, and it was all arranged. “Well, we got to the top of the hill after a long, hard pull, and Ezekial he drove to the dt*>r of the meetin’ house and let us out; and we all hurried in out of the cold, while he attended-to making them oxen fast somewheres so’s they couldn’t get away. “The,place was about full when we went in, but room was made for us by the stove; and by the time we had warmed ourselves Ezekial came in, and we found places and sot down. The meetin* was goin’ right on all this time; they was singin’ and shoutin’ in the good old way we never hear nowadays. At last, when the right time had come, Parson Donlow made some remarks about havin’ a eouple to unite in holy wedlock, and then he calls for Ezekial ami me to come l'or’d. “We went up, Ezekial lookin’ as red as a beet.and me feelin’ about the same; and there, in the presence of everybody, we was yoked together for life, promisin’ to love and cherish till death do us jKirt, which, 1 am proud to say, we carried out to the letter. “When it was all done Parson Donlow he takes us by the hands, and says her | “My children’—them was his words—‘mv children,’ says he. ‘you have now started upon a new walk in life. You have taken upon yourselves the gravest responsibilities of earth. Upon you depends the fitting for Heaven or hell of

future generutnons. Will you not, at this critical period—at this critical period.’ says he, ‘put yourselves into the hands of the Lord, to wftlk with Him all the days of your life?’ Then Exekial speaks up, and says he: ‘l’arson Doclow, that is just what we’ve made up our minds to do,—and at that Parson Don low he shouts: ‘Praise the Lord’’ and Deacon Wilburts hollers: ‘Amen!* while Squaire Munson he let out his ringin’‘Hallelujah!’ “Havin’ our minds made up to it, Exekial and me kneeled down at the mourners’ bench, and there was soon a good many more with us, for Parson 1 ton low he just let himself out and preached his best, sort of usin’ me and Exekial for his text; and the loud amens and the ringin' hallelujahs was heard alt the while. You never, heard such a time, for they don’t have such times nowadays. “ “But I ain’t cornin' to the p'int. The meetin’ was at white heat, you might say, and everybody who had experienced salvation was a-shoutin’ and a-singin’ and a sighin’, when all of a suddent somethin’ hapepned. Parson Donlow he was a prayin', and it seemed as if he had laid hold upon the very battlement^ of the Heavenly city. lie was pleadin* for more and more of the power, though, for the life of me, I couldn’t see w hat was to become of us if we got any fuller than we was then. ** ‘Let us see the real Pentecostal fires!*' he shouted. ‘Let us hear the tushin’ sound from Heaven,and feel—* But that was ns far as he got, for just, then, all of a suddent, somethin’ happened. The little log meetin’ house begun to move—really move. And it kept on a-movin’. It was a jerky, thumpy, rocky motion, as though it was shook up by some mighty heavin’of the ground itself. “If there had been shoutin’ before, it w a’n’t to be compared to the shoutin’ there was then.. You couldn’t hear for the noise they made. ‘Praise the Lord!’ cried good old Parson Donlow. ‘Amen!* hollered Deacon Wilburt, and ‘Hallelujah!’ rang out Squaire Munson’s voice. But Exekial he-jumps up, a gaspin’: ‘Them oxen!’ and he made for the door just as fast as ever he could. But the door had got jammed so’s it couldn’t be opened. fe “And there we all was. in that rockin’ and tremblin’ little log meetin’ house*, amidst the shoutin’, and the singin’ and the groanin’ and the sighin’; and the mourners’ bench—it wa’u’fc half big enough to ’commodate the suddent demand for places. And still that jerky, : thumpy, rocky motion kept on. till the people they begun to get frightened ; half out of their wdfs. The women screamed and the children cried, till at last Deacon Wilburt, more or less seart himself and 1 guess ‘twas more — lie jumps up on a seat and hollers: ‘Enough! enough! Oh, stay Thy |»and* and just then there came an extra hard thump, and the deacon went sprawlin’, heels over head, into the t row d around the mourners’ bench, ami the motion stbpped as suddenly as it had begun. That last jolt loosened the door, too. and Exekial he rushed out, alp the rest a-follerin’ him, and. bless me, if Parson Donlow's little old log meetin' house wasn’t clear down to the foot of .liaison hill! You see, Exekial had chained them oxen fast to the bottom log at the back of the buildin*,' never once thinkiu* they’d w alk off with it, and the shoutin’ must hev started ’em. “No, I kin never fergit oxen, not the longest day I ever live, find ’specially them oxen of Ex -knil's. Exekial he has gone to his reward, and I know that 1 must toiler soon. .He fought the good fight and won the crown, and I know j that I shall meet him on that bright ; shore beyond the swell in’ tide; and—1 ; -’pose it’s tool ish—but sometimes I ! fancy It’s just passible I'll find them ] oxen there, too.”
