another had taken it; and I returned, without accomplishing anything.

While living in Canada, I had become strongly attached to the country, to the Canadian-French, their manners, customs, and language, and I longed to return. In October, 1851, I moved to Rougemont, and engaged a school which I taught during six years. There are at this place about twenty English families, living in the midst of a dense French population. They have a church and school by themselves. While teaching at this place, I carried on a small farm, and I still have an interest there; two of my children are buried under the shadow of the little church, and there I expect to lay myself down some day.

"In the autumn of 1857, I moved to Coté St. Paul, which is a manufacturing village just three miles from the centre of Montreal, where I have remained to the present time. During nineteen years-till the autumn of 1876-I was employed as bookkeeper and cashier in a manufacturing establishment; but the hard times closed that up, and I fell back on teaching. As before intimated, I have kept up a correspondence with the Vermont Journal for nearly thirty-five years; and since August, 1873, have written a letter for nearly every number of the paper. In consequence of this, I was not wholly forgotten by the people of Windsor; and, in making arrangements for their centennial celebration, July 4, 1876, I was invited to be present and deliver a poem. In compliance with this request, I once more stood in the streets of Windsor, on that 4th of July, after an absence of twenty-five years, gazing wonderingly upon the hills that stand roundabout the old town, and being a stranger to almost every one I met. A pamphlet was published, giving an account of the doings of that day, and containing the oration and poem then delivered.

"My father, when a youth, learned the shoemaker's trade, and worked at it more or less till two or three years before he died. After laboring hard all day on his farm, he went to his bench in the evening and worked till midnight, mending and making boots and shoes for the neighboring farmers. He was very exact in his affairs, as his old account-book, now in the possession of my brother Marquis, will show. He received his pay invariably in kind, taking wheat, corn, and other produce for his work, and never a cent of money. When I was six or seven years old, I saw him baptized, and he joined the Freewill Baptists. My mother belonged to the Methodist church. As for myself, I never united with any church, but can devoutly worship with any religious denomination. I have now for years attended an Episcopal service every Sunday morning, and a Methodist in the evening.
