A BLACKSMITH DOMINIE.
i All classes mix and mingle in the tide
of travel, says a correspondent of the
Boston Herald, and a railroad train is a
-wonderful leveler. It makes people
talkative, even sociable, who are cold
and crusty at home. I have gathered
move information on railroad trains
than almost any where else. Sitting in a
parlor car to-day, traveling westward
over the Pennsylvania railroad, there
vera two notable men. They looked
broader, wiser, and of better stock than
any of the rest of its occupants. They
iuvoluntarily attracted one's attention.
One of them was a large, robust man,
with a powerful frame and jolly manner.
His face was round and fat, betokening
good humor and good living. You could
see that he was a person of full habits
and a good digestion. His clean shaven
face shone with humor, and his occasion
al merry laugh Lold that he was full of
life and spirit. Although some sixty
eight years had whitened his hair like
snow, it had not bent his frame or made
his heart old. This was the Rev. Dr.
Robert Collyer. The Rev. Dr. Tiffany,
the eminent Methodist minister", was the
other. Their seats were as opposite as
their creeds, and the men are almost un
like. Tiffany is a robust, fine looking
man of very dignified manners. His
full, round "face aud florid complexion
show that he, too, enjoys the good things
of life. He is by no means sedate, aud
in life does not follow the Methodist idea
of looking pious at all seasons. He
seems to have plenty of spirits, but
keeps them bunged up tighter than the
more distinguished divine first intro
duced. This is doubtless due more to
the demands of his church creed than to
inclination, for I hf.ar that in a quiet
company he is its life. A strong preach
er is the Rev. Dr. Tiffany, but the doc
trines of his church curb his force, and,
while he is too much of a free lance for
many of the staid old Methodists, he
cannot swing out into the broad realm of
fearless discussion of religious qnes
tions. Hi3 illustrious brother, Mr. Coll
yer, is not so hampered, for the Unitari
an church wants thought and argument,
not statements alone. There were sev
eral other preachers in the company,
whose solemn faces told their calling,
and also their lack of force. In the
ministry, as in all other professions, the
man who is nearest human, and has a
full, rotund person, capable of keeping
off the dyspepsia, succeeds best. I got
into conversation with Dr. Collyer, and
spent a pleasant hour.
"Why do you have so few ministers of
originality and force men who make
their mark as great preachers?" said I.
"Too little life and too much learning,
sir; too little blood and too much educa
tion. A man makes a great mistake
when he sacrifices life's force for books.
Generous life increases the power of
thntie-ht. and eood health keeps it fresh
and creates originality," was the quick
response.
"Does Europe or America have the
greatest ministers?"
"America, by all odds. It has several
superior to the best there is in England.
The old world has not one that can com
pare with Henry Ward Beecher. He is
the greatest preacher on the planet. If
liia superior ever lived, I never heard or
read of him."
"Does Spurgeon approach him?"
"No, sir. In no particular, if I can
understand what a great minister is. He
lacks the very elements that makes Mr.
Beecher great."
"What are they?"
"In the first place, Henry Ward
Beecher is the most human man I ever
knew. He gets near the people rather
than above them. His generous bodily
force keeps his great mi ad brignt ana
makes him fearless, rso man will or
perhaps can express himself with the
simplicity, originality, eloquence, and
courage that Mr. Beecher does. The
struggles of his early life may have
much to do with this and his later suc
cesses. They may have made him the
natural man he is. Great as he is, I love
him for his simple tastes and his cour
age. I admire a man who never gets
great enough to refuse to' express his op
inion upon small subjects. There is a
great deal in the simple fact that Mr.
Beecher will say in a great company: 'I
like apple pie, and like to farm during
the summer months by lying under an
apple tree and going to sleep. "
"You began life. Dr. Collyer, like Mr.
Beecher, in a humble position in the
West?"
"No, I did not begin in the West, but
went there early. 1 came to America
about 1850, and landed in Philadelphia
in search of a job. I was a mechanic,
and got a situation in a hammer shop at
Shoemakertown, on the outskirts of the
Quaker City. For nine years I made
hammers in that shop. I was a Metho
dist then, and became a local preacher.
Following my vocation six days in the
week, I preached around at different
places on Sunday. Very early I got the
reputation of being rather crooked on
the Methodist creed, and I guess
I was very liberal. I think it was in
1857 Dr. Furnace, the eminent Unitarian,
' who still has his church at the corner
of Tenth and Locust, was called west to
marry the Rev. Mono u re D. Conway,
who has since made a success in journal
ism. We had met- at the house of Lu
cretia Mott, who was a great friend of
mine, and had talked a good deal upon
theological questions, and I think he
liked me. At least, he said if he could
get Collyer to preach for him one Sun
day, he would go west and marry Con-
way. He asked me. I consented, and
preached two Sundays for him, making
nine dozen hammers each week before I
filled the pulpit. I think the sermons
must have attracted some attention, be
cause it was soon noised about that I
rwas to be summoned before the next con
ference to be disciplined for my disre-,
gard for church, ethics. Sure enough
the 6ummons came, and I went before
the conference. Pennel Coome was then
presiding officer. He is still in Phila
delphia as secretary , of some leading
Methodist society. He questioned me
closely upon doctrine snd creed, and
when we had concluded -he said, rather
sorrowfully, 'Brother Collyer, it is very
evident that you are not a Methodist.'
I was beginning to think so myself,'
was my reply. 1 fear I cannot renew
your license,' said he. 'Tery well,' I
answered. "The truth is, I have never
had much patience with these hell and
damnation theories. "
"Did this sever your connection with
the Methodist church?"
"No, I continued to make hammers
and preach in and about Philadelphia
until 1859, when I went to Chicago as a
missionary at a salary of $1200 a year.
Both I and mine had been taught to live
frugally, for. I had made only about 9 a
week in the hammer shop. So my sal-
. ory of 81200, upon which I went west,
gave me the means to live comfortably.
Therefore you see I did not have the
hard struggle after I went to Chicago
that Mr. Beecher had when he began in
Indiana."
"Did you have a regular ohuroh?"
"No, I did general missionary work
among the poor, establishing Sunday
schools, etc. I recall an amusing inci
dent that happened soon after I reached
my post. I had gathered together a lit
tle Sunday school. Many of the children
belonged to the families of gentlemen
emigrants. One day I received from
some of the cnurch dignitaries a long
list of questions about my work, which
I was to answer and return. The first
was: 'What is the present condition of
your Sabbath school, and what does it
most need at the present moment?
Under this question I wrote this answer:
Windsor soap, crash towels and fine
tooth combs-' The rest of the questions
were in the same general vein, and I un
derstand the dignitaries were very much
shocked at my temerity."
"How long did you continue in that
church afterward?" ! .
"Not Jong. In Chicago, on what is
called the North Side, a few Unitarians
had a small church. Their minister went
away, and I was invited to go over and
take temporary charge. I did not know
I was out of the Methodist church then,
but after awhile found I was. Finally,
besides looking after the church mission,
I preached one Sunday. Those high
toned Boston people who had moved out
into that new country and set up to do
its business, wondered. I was rather a
rough-looking man, a meohanic. and my
hands were hard, red. and calloused from
work. They said: 'How strange! Why,
this man can preach.' They were satis
fied, and I kept ou. The church grew,
and I saw that little flock increase from
a handful to one of the largest congrega
tions in the land. It finally built ! the
most beautifully constructed church in
the country, at a cost of $210,000. It was
destroyed in the Chicago fire. They re
built again, and I stayed thereuntil
about four years ago, wheu I accepted a
call to New York. It was the greatest
struggle of my life to leave my friends in
Chicago and come Hast, but I thought it
for the best." f
There was something of sadness in the
great preacher's remarks about his
change, and seemed' to dwell with great
earnestness upon the story of his life in
chief city of the west. I changed the
subject to the object to his present jour
ney to Pennsylvania. j
"Yes," said he, "I am going over to
Dickinson College to make a short ad
dress. It is to be the centennial celebra
tion of that old institution."
"A Unitarian to speak at a Methodist
celebration, and that, too, after he had
been turned out of the church?" ,
"Oh, there is more liberality now.
Religion, like everything else, pro
gresses with the country. The Methodists
and I got along very well together I after
the first disappointment?,and if I did not
live with my wife I should live with my
mother." !
"Will you stay at Dickinson long?"
"No: I am goiug back to-night at 12
o'clock. I sail for Europe on Saturday,
to be gone two months. It is the third
time I have been in the old country
since I came to America." ;
"Have you any desire to return to
England to remain?"
"Oh, no. It was a strange geograph
ical blunder that I was born on the
other side of the ocean. It was the month
of May when I came across and landed
in Philadelphia. As I came up the green
wooded lands of the Delaware I thought
the land of Pennsylvania the most bean
tiful country that I had ever seen. Never
for a single moment since I landed in
that city a poor mechanic, hunting for
work, have I thought uf returning. I
could co back on good terms. You know
the story of the boy with a new hatchet
A lad was cnUiLgr awav one day with, a
new hatchet, the maker of which' stood
near him. The steel came off, when the
boy called to his master and said: 'The
steel has dropped off the hatcet.' 'Never
mind, lad; whale away, was the reply.'I
have, got my name up. ?
A hearty laugh followed the sally, in
which Mr, Collyer joined, and after it
had subsided he said, dryly: !
"A man can go anywhere when he gets
his name up, you know. i
"No; I like to cross the water occa
sionaliy, but America is my country.
There are many things here to attract
me to it. The old shop at Shoemaker
town, where I made hammers for nine
years, is still standing, and a number of
workmen who worked with me are liv
ing yet. I go down every year to visit
the old place and my old associates.
Many of them come to see me. It does
one good to renew early associations. I
have been there within a month making
my annual visit." j
This interesting conversation ran un
til the train pulled into the depot at
Harrisburg. Here Mr. Collyer and his
party had to remain for an hour 'before
going to Carlisle. The last words I heard
from the eminent divine was good -by to
me, and then, turning to a pale-faced
preacher, who was evidently struggling
against dyspepsia, "Come, let us go in
and push a good dinner."
A Uood Model.
I have lately been visiting a gentleman
whom I should like to tell about. He
lives on the banks of the Delaware
river, not far from Trenton. New Jersey.
It is very delightful to talk with this
gentleman, and to see how well he is
acquainted with the birds and the four
footed animals of his district, all of which
are under his jealous protection. He
has half a dozen little "tracts" within a
mile of his house, each of which is
tenanted by a partly different class of
plants and animals, so that there is never
any lack of variety in his studies. The
truth of this will not seem clear to you
at first, perhaps, because you are accus
tomed to think that, in order to find any
great diversity in outdoor life, you must
search through great spaces of country.
But my friend's farm would show you
that a great many little differences
are ordinarily overlooked, which, when
you come to know them, are seen to be
real and important. And this can be
proven in one place about as well as in
another.
For instance, it is easy to divide the
estate I am speaking of into four districts
so far as natural history is concerned.
First, there are the upland fields and
house gardens; second, the steep hill
side, grown dense with trees and
tangled shrubbery; next, the broad,
treeless, lowland meadows; and lastly,
the creek, with its still, shaded nooks,
and flowery banks.
Now, while there are many trees,
bushes and weeds that are common to
all these four districts, it is equally true
that each of the districts has a number
of plants and animals that are not to be
found in the others. You would not ex
pect ' to get water snakes, musk-rats or
any wading birds on the high fields be
hind the house, nor do the woodchucks.
quails, and vesper sparrows of the hill
top go down among the sycamores by
the creek. One quickly gets a hint here
of the great fact that any species of ani
mal or plant may be spread over a whole
state, or half the continent, yet never
thelesp, be found only on that kind of
ground, which is best . suited to
it. One of the first things a
naturalist has to learn there
fore, in respect to an animal
whose habits he wishes to studv, is what
sort of surroundings it loves, and he will
be surprised, particularly in the oase of
tho Bmaller creatures, to learn how care-,
fnl animals are in this matter, since upon
it, as a rule, depends their food and
safety. There are certain snails, for ex
ample, whioh my friend finds in one cor
ner of his farm and never anywhere else.
A pair of Bewick's wrens have lived in
his wagon house for some yeais.out they
are the only pair in ihe whole county. It
would be of no use for him to look any
where than on his bush-grown hillside
for the worm-eating warbler, the morn
ing warbler, or the chat, though his gar
dens up above entice many other birds.
Similarly, if the bird called the rail de
cides to make its home on his land, it
will not settle along the creek, but in a
marshy part of his meadows. I might
mention a large number of these exam
ples, but these will suffice.
ii or more than twenty years my irienci
had been diligently studying this single
square mile around his house. One
would think he knew it pretty well by
this time, and he does better, I believe,
than any other square mile is known in
the United States. He can tell you, and
has written down. a hundred things about
our common animals which are real
news; yet he thinks that he has only be
gun, and is finding out something more
every few days. St. Nicholas.
Milking Three Times a Day.
Messrs. Muller and Jones, of Ger
many, have been making some quite ex
tensive experiments in milking cows
more than the usual number of times a
day. By milking three times a day a
slight percentage of fat is secured that
would be lost under other practice, in
one experiment reported, if the butter
were worth thirty cents a ponud, the
butter from the two milkings would be
worth $14, and from the three milkings,
$18, according to the percentage of fat
found to be secured by the extra milk
ing. The question arises in this instance,
'Is the extra money value secured worth
the labor expended in securing it?" This
will, of course, depend very much on
how the cows are kept. If they are at
pasture, the trouble of driving them up
and milking them, and driving them
back again, i3 not altogether measured
by the labor uxpendod, but the loss of
the cows from pasture. Also the inter
ruption of men and women from their
regular daily labor are serious matters ou
a farm where long distances separate
the hands from the cattle. Then,
again, on the dairy farms of this
country, the great bugbear is the
want of good milkage. Few men can
succeed in dairying who have to depend
on hired help outside their own -family
or connections. Men hate to milk, and
women cannot do it where large num
bers of cows are to be handled in a rea
sonably short time. In the old country,
where hands "are numerous and are to be
had for the asking, the burden of three
milkings a day may be imposed without
creating a riot, but in this country it
would not do. The chances also are
that suoh frequent milkings would tend
to dry up the cows for want of distention
of the udder. This of course applies to
cows in the usual condition. When a
cow is fresh and produces a yield that
threatens the udder and is evidently
painful to the cow,it is well to relieve the
udder by one or two extra milkings a
day, and even then it is scarcely worth
while to draw the udder to the last strip
pings. Under the ordinary conditions
of American farm life, we are quite sure
that the extra per cent, of fat saved by
one additional milking, in view of the
inconvenience attached to its perform
ance would not pay the dairyman to
practice it. In view of the effect on the
cow, we would be slow to recommend
the practice, even if it did pay. Ameri

was always fancvincr that thum nraa
thing the matter with lr.m; so he went to
ine uoctor one uay and had himself ex
amined, and the doctor informed him
that he had kidney disease, and that, be-
sides taking medicine, he must diet him
self. Said the doctor: 'You must avoid
all kinds of salt meats, salt fish, pota
toes, cabbage, and vegetables of every
kind.' Jones followed the advice, but
found himself no better. He went to
another doctor, and, after being exam
ined, was informed that he must avoid
all kinds of fresh meats also. This did
not do him any good, as he thought, and
he went to another doctor, who highly
approved of the advice which had previ
ously been given, and further warned
him against all kinds of pastry, likewise
shellfish, including oysters and clams.
'The best thing for you is a milk diet,'
said this doctor; so Jones lived wholly
upon milk. Not feeling himself any
better ha went to another doctor, who
cautioned him ' to avoid milk, above all
things, if he wanted to get well. This
reduced Jones to a diet of cold water and
fresh air, and, finding himself no better
under this regime, he went to another
doctor, who advised him to beware of
drinking too much water and being too
much in the air. This last advice cut off
the last of Jones' articles of diet, and he
died of starvation, as I have told you."
