He would frequently get articles from the store, enter th»m upon the day-book, mark them posted, but i ever post them. He built him>elt a line dwelling, ano paid the hands in part from ihe store.

Mr. Chitester has always sustained a very high character—was a deacon in one of our Chorchea, a superintendent in Sabbath School, and a leader in a choir. Such was his dupli city and self-possession, that even while Mr. Strong's friends were in his house making their investigations, he sat down to supper with bi* family and pronounced the blessing at ta ble as usual.
