Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - May 1, 1891, Winnipeg, Manitoba Manitoba daily free press. Winnipeg. May 1 from the writings of Artemus Ward. 0 of a peaceful Village. Goj Norst found blot and Tor Vork cloy but remt and and successes of Tho of Tho Hamlet. A Ioctl special or Raiffe 0. W Dill Gham now York pub Liber i is abound the Village Green. T in t every one who bus a Vil Lage Green to write about. I have one i Hugo not seen much of it for some years Post. J am Buck again now. In Tho of the Duke who went around with a motto about him ind i fancy i am about As peasant of Tho Vale As Ever Gar melodrama although i have not danced on Ray Village Green As the melodramatic peasant usually does on it Vas the Case when Tosina Meadows left Tome. If time Rolla by serenely be Don t care what time it is White is fortunate because my watch is at present in the hands of those men of new York who Are called we out by Chance Tho usual not by i brought the interview to a close with All possible Des Patch. Assuring them that i was t or. Greeley particularly and that to had never boarded in the private family where 1 enjoyed the comforts of a Home i tendered them my watch and begged they would distribute it judiciously among lilo labor in classes As i had seen Tho rioters styled in certain Public prints. Why should i loiter feverishly in Broad Way stabbing the hissing hot air with the splendid Gold headed Cane that was present Stojna by the citizens of Wanke Gau Illi Nois is a slight testimonial of their esteem Why Broil in my rooms you said Tome mrs. Glove son when j took pos Kassion of those rooms thac to matter How warm it might be a Breeze had a Way of blowing into them and Htit they were withal quite Mounir fied but i am bound to say i Glove son that there nothing about them that Ever reminded me in the remotest degree of daisies or Oen mown Hay. Thus with sarcasm do i smash the deceptive . Why stay in new boric when i had a tillage Green i gave it up the Samoa 1 Ronld an intricate in abort i am Here. Do i miss Tho Glare and crash of the Imperial thoroughfare the Milkman the fiery untamed omnibus horses the soda fountains Central those things yes i do and i can go on missing pm for a spell and enjoy it. Tho Village from which 1 write to you is Small. It does not contain Over forty houses All told but they Are milk White the greenest of blinds and for the most part Are shaded with Beautiful elms allows. To the right of us is a mount in to the left . The Village nestles Between. Of course it does. I never read novel in my life in which the Village Jilin t Nestle. Villages invariably Nestle. Tiaa Kindorf Way they Weare away from the cars. The Iron Florae As my Little sister aptly remarks in to composition on nature is never heard to shriek in on midst and on the whole noon the villagers Are kindly people. They Are rather incoherent on the subject of Tho not More so perhaps than Are it tote elsewhere. One citizen who Vised Toraso Hagood character subscribed for tie weekly new York Herald a few and went to studying the Oul Ilary maps in that Well known journal fireside. 1 need not inform you now totters and he has id k farm. In a literary Point we Are rather Bloodthirsty. A a edition of the life of n cheerful who slaughtered his wife and child himself is having an cd Sale just now. Of know Little of Honoro de Balzac and care less for Victor Hugo. M. Tus pand search for the absolute does t in Tho least and Jean va.1 Jean picking his Way through the i Paris Voth the Spoony Young of Marius upon his Back j our breasts. I say Lis Way gloomily and under to those Circum could have skipped gayly. But wary business As the gentleman mar Rod his coloured chambermaid is simply a matter of it must not Forset Che store. Of great interest to me. I encounter there on sunny after old revolutionary Soldier. You ably have read about another Soldier but this is t gone and moreover one in t Manifest the slightest Intel going. He distinctly remembers n8ton. Of course they All do but to Call special attention to a tins revolutionary Soldier a years old that his eyes Are eone can read Fine print without e never used them by the mind is perfectly Clear. He in one of his legs but Active As most men of and his general health is Excel no tobacco but for the last he has drunk one gloss of More no less. Hove his Tod. I had began to in suspicions about this Evora hns iness but Here is an Bat because a Man can of liquor a Day and live to. My Young readers iat by drinking two glosses Man can live to be two ,uur., j i meander say it does t the pm might observe in which May constantly be and jail Al and fish and tobacco in bladders is a Vener As Long ago As 1814 it the county troops on tense of Portland then British ships of War were this very store and Cense. Citizens will Clergyman refused to Pray Lor the trips because be considered the War an unholy one and How a somewhat eccentric person of dissolute habits volunteered his services stating that be once bad an Uncle who was a Deacon and he thought he could make a tolerable prayer although it was rather out of his Liue and How he prayed so Long and absurdly that the colonel ordered him under arrest but that even while soldiers stood Over him with gleaming bayonets the reckless being Sang a preposterous song about his grandmother s spotted calf with its i Fol lol tid Dery i do after which he howled dismally. And speaking of the store reminds me of a Little Story. The author of several successful comedies has been among us and the store was anxious to know who the stranger was. And therefore the store asked him. What do you follow respectfully inquired the tradesman. I occasionally write for the stage returned the tradesman in a con it ised manner. He said an honest villager with a desire to help the puzzled trades Man out to Means that he writes Tho handbills for the stage i believe that Story is new although per haps it is not of an uproariously Mirthful character but Ono hears stories it the store that Are old enough goodness Ries which no doubt diverted Methuselah i n the sunny Duys of his Giddy and thought less boyhood. There is an exciting Sceno it the store of Casio Milly. Yesterday an athletic peasant in a state of Beer smashed in a counter and emptied two tubs of butter on the floor. His White haired old Man who was a Litho boy when the revolutionary War closed but who does t remember Washington round in the evening and settled for the damages. My he said has considerable origin t will mention that this Samo son once told me that he could lick me with one tied behind him and i was so thoroughly satisfied he could that i told him he need t mind going for a rope. Sometimes i go a visiting to a farm House on which occasion the parlor is opened. Tho windows have been close shut Ever since the last visitor was there and there is a Dingy smell that i struggle As calmly us possible with until i am led to the banquet of steaming hot biscuit and custard pie. If they would Only let me sit in the old fashioned Kitchen or on the door they knew How dismally Tho new looked but never mind i am not n reformer. No i should rather think not. Gloomy enough this living on a farm you perhaps say in which Case you Are wrong. I can t exactly say that 1 Pant to be on agriculturist Bat i do know that in Tho main it is an Independent calmly Happy sort of life. I can see How the prosperous Farmer can go joyously a fled with the Rise of Tho Sun and How his heart May swell with Pride Over Bonnet on harvests and sleek Osen. And it must be rather Jolly for him on Winter evenings to sit before the Bright Kitchen fire and water his Rosy boys and girls As they study out Tho charades in Tho weekly paper and gradually find out Why my first is something that grows in a Garden and my second is a fish. On the Green Hillside Over yonder there is quivering of snowy drapery and Bright hair is flashing in the morning sunlight it is recess and the Seminary Are running in the tall grass. A Good Seminary to look at outside certainly although 1 am paired to learn As 1 do on unprejudiced authority that mrs. Higgins the principal is a tyrant who seeks to crush the girls and trample upon them but my sorrow is somewhat assuaged by learning that skimmerhorn the pianist is perfectly splendid. Looking at these girls reminds me that i too was once where Are the friends of my youth i have found one of pm certainly. I saw him ride in the Cir Cus the other Day on a bareback horse and even now his name stares it me from Yon Der Board Fence in Orreen and Blue and red and yellow letters. Dashing Ron the youth with whom i used to read the Able orations of Cicero and who As a reclaimer on exhibition Days used to wipe the rest of us boys pretty handsomely Dashington is identified with the halibut and cod a fish cart in fact from a certain town on the coast Back into the Interior. Hubert son Tho utterly stupid Bunkhead who never Hod his Les about the Ablest lawyer a Siste state can boast. Mills is a newspaper Man and is just now editing a major Genera Down South. Sin Glinson the Sweet voiced boy who face was always washed and who was Rea Good and who was never a in the Penitentiary for putting his Uncle s autograph to a financial document. Haw Kins the Clergyman s son is an actor and Williamson the Good Little boy who divided his bread and butter with the beg Gar Man is a failing merchant and makes Money by it. Tom Slink who used to smoke Short Sixes and get acquainted with the Little Cir Xis boys is popularly sup posed to be the proprietor of a cheap Gam ing establishment in Boston where the Beautiful but Uncertain prop is nightly tossed. To sure the army is represented by Many of the friends of my youth the most of whom have Given a Good a coun of themselves. But Chalme Sou has done much. Is rather of n failure. He plays on the guitar and sings love songs. Not that to is a bad Man. A Kinder hearted creature never lived and they say he has t yet got Over crying for his Little curly haired sister who died Ever so Long ago. But he knows nothing about business politics the world and those things. He is Dull at it is a common remark that everybody cheats he come to the party the other evening and brought his guitar they would t have him for a Tenor in the opera certainly for he is shaky in his upper notes but if his simple melodies did t gush straight from the heart Why were my trained eyes wet and although some of the girls giggled and some of the men seemed to pity him i could not help fancying that poor Chal Merson was nearer heaven than any of us All i taking elect sunday March 2mb, Central or Soto Meridian 1681.
