For weeks six young men, all professors of religion, met in the Academy out of
school hours, and sung, and read, and prayed together. One day Richard was
on his way to the room when he overtook a gay youth, and invited him to the
meeting. Out of curiosity he consented, another and another followed, until
these were so many, that they adjourned to the vestry by the advice of the
Pastor, where he took charge of it.

CHAPTER X.
DICK'S VISIT TO MAINE.

BUT, going back a few months, during the winter vacation at the Academy,
Dick persuaded his parents to allow him to go to Maine for the purchase of a
cow.

He was now nearly fourteen years of ages was tall and stout; but his father
needed much arguing, both from Dick and his mother, before he gave his
consent.

"What do you know about the selection of a good cow?" the minister asked.

"I have read the Agricultural reports, father, and the Farmers' journals, about
the good points in a milker. I can learn the rest."

"But you will have to carry the money about you; what if you should be
robbed?"

"I'll venture that," answered Dick, his eyes twinkling. "I shall take your oldest
carpet-bag, with a few clothes in it; I shall carry my money in that. When I go
into the boat, I shall throw it under the seat. No one will imagine it contains
any thing of value or I should take better care of it."

"I consent," said his father laughing; "but it's a mystery to me how you have
learned so much of the world."
It was near the close of a cold winter's day, that Richard left the cars at
Newark, and started on foot for the back country where he had heard cows
were very cheap. He had his half-filled carpet-bag in his hand and was
trudging through the snow in the middle of the street, feeling, I will not deny it,
rather homesick. He was only a boy after all, fondly nurtured in a sweet home.
He was alone in a strange land. He knew not where he should find a place to
sleep. One thing Dick did know. He was sure that he had not gone beyond the
notice of his heavenly Father.

"I can't be lost," he said half aloud, "while He sees me, and He knows that I
need help," and up his heart flew on wings of faith and love to the throne
above the skies.

"I want to do what is right," he said. "Dear Lord, lead me in the way, and help
me in my business, so I can return home in safety."

His heart felt lighter after this, and he trudged on sometimes through drifts
over the half broken road, for near a mile. It was growing quite dusky, and still
no house in sight.

"I wont be afraid," said Dick to himself. "God knows just where I am, and how
much I want some supper." To keep up his spirits he began to sing:

"The Lord my Shepherd is."

Presently he heard the sound of sleigh bells, coming swiftly toward him. He
turned in the direction, and stood still. Soon he saw a man with a heavy beard,
alone in a pung. His heart beat wildly.

"Shall I speak? He may be a robber."

The man had checked his horse and was staring hard at him.

"Wont you ride, stranger?" asked a friendly voice.

"Thank you, sir, I will."

"I reckon you aren't from these parts," said the man after a more careful
survey of his companion.
"No, sir, I'm from Massachusetts. I'm a stranger here. I came to buy a cow for
my father, who is a clergyman. Do you know any for sale about here?"

"Well," said the man laughing, "I reckon any o' my neighbors'd sell if they
could get their price. But to-morrow'll be time enough to talk about it. We're
most home now. Wife'll have supper ready."

Tears gushed to Dick's eyes, though they were not often seen there. How
kindly had his heavenly Father provided for him. He almost wished to hug the
kind man. One mile more was soon passed; but not before Dick had told much
of his personal history and of his own wishes for the future, to all of which the
man listened with intense interest.

They drove at last up to a one story white house large on the ground floor and
chambers in the attic. The curtains were drawn up, and a bright wood fire
blazing inside. How pleasant it all looked to poor Dick. At the sound of the
bells a woman's face appeared at the windows.

"Walk right in, Mr.—" he hesitated.

"My name is Richard Stuart."

"Mr. Stuart, wife," said the man, "I'll be in directly."

"Let me help you," urged Richard. "I'm used to that sort of work."

"No, not to-night. Walk right up to the fire, and make yourself at home."

"Where did you happen to meet Mr. Brown?" asked the wife after a cordial
grasp of welcome to the stranger.

"About two miles back. He was very kind to bring me home. I didn't know the
way to a tavern."

"'Twouldn't have been like Thomas Brown to leave a stranger by the road
side," she said laughing. Then she busied herself pouring a pan of steaming
hot biscuit upon a plate, and setting the yellow earthen teapot on the table. Mr.
Brown and a young man, his son, came in just as she had completed the
arrangements, and after a vigorous washing said, "Draw up now;" and he took
his seat at the table.

They sat quiet for a minute looking at Dick, who blushed furiously. At last Mr.
Brown said, "I didn't know but you'd say grace. I reckon you're a professor."
Richard instantly folded his hands and asked God's blessing on the food
before them.

Every one then took hold in earnest of the business of eating; and Dick
perceiving from a dish being pushed toward him that he was expected to help
himself, did so. Biscuit and butter and maple molasses, gingerbread and
sugar cookies, blackberry preserve and pumpkin pie, and crullers, made a
most tempting repast to the hungry traveller.

When they rose from the table the men tipped their chairs back and began to
ask questions of Dick, while Mrs. Brown cleared the table, and washed the
dishes, occasionally adding a word. In an hour or two the boy had given his
new friends a brief history of his life at home, and the occasion of his journey.

Soon after seven a neighbor came in having driven his horse and sleigh into
the barn floor. Dick's eyes twinkled at the introduction he received.

"Mr. Manly, Mr. Stuart; Mr. Stuart's a minister's son, from Massachusetts come
to buy a cow. He's a professor,—attends school in New Hampshire,—going to
stay with us a spell."

"You must stop with me part of the time," urged Mr. Manly after a searching
gaze in Richard's face.

At home and among his mates Dick was always called good company; but
never had his conversational powers been appreciated and admired as this
evening.

With an occasional question and a "You don't say, now!" from one and
another, the boy went on from agricultural to educational subjects, and back
again. He told of his Rarey experience; of his declamations at school; of his
speculations in poultry; of the state of religion in the different denominations,
of the great salaries received by famous singers in church. He stated that he
sung in church himself, and after some urging consented to end the evening
by singing a hymn.

A little before nine the visitor began to grow restless, hitching his chair back
and forth, and looking at the clock. At last Mr. Brown took the hint and said:

"Wont you stop, neighbor. Mr. Stuart'll be likely to conduct worship, I reckon.
We'll be glad to have you join us."

"I'll stay then," answered Mr. Manly, letting his chair rest on the floor.
Richard's heart beat so fast that he could scarcely breathe. "How can I pray
before these strangers?" he asked himself. But without one doubt that a
minister's son, who could discuss so many subjects with perfect ease would
wish to conduct the service, Mr. Brown asked his wife to bring the Bible, and
pushed the candle nearer the youth.

"I'll try at any rate," was Dick's resolve. "I wont deny my Lord."

He selected the ninety-first psalm, but before he read sung the hymn
commencing:

"Majestic sweetness sits enthroned


Upon the Saviour's brow."

To this Mr. Manly beat time loudly with his foot on the floor.

Richard's voice trembled as he began:

"O God, we are strangers who have met here; but thou knowest our hearts,
and whether we love thee."

"Amen!" shouted Mr. Manly.

This response so disconcerted the poor boy, unused to such interruptions,


that, he was obliged to begin his prayer again. He had repeated his first words
when the visitor called out in a more earnest tone—

"Hallelujah!"

The perspiration started in groat drops all over Richard's face. He paused a
minute. There was no help for it, he must begin again. This time he went on a
little farther, when a loud shout—

"Praise the Lord!" set to flight every proper thought. He said, "amen," and
arose from his knees, in a singular state of mind, between laughing and
crying.

The limits of my true history of Richard Stuart, only allow me to add in brief,
that having accomplished the object of his journey in a most satisfactory
manner; and having made friends for life of good Mr. and Mrs. Brown, he
returned home, and soon went back to school where he remained till the end
of his year.

Of his subsequent career, and his success in professional life, perhaps I shall
speak in another volume. I can only say here, that the principles of his
childhood, his love to the Saviour, his trust in the dealings of Providence, grew
stronger as he advanced in years; while the same habits of industry and thrift,
the sweetness and mirthfulness which had made him a favorite, gained for
him warm and enduring friends, when he most needed them.

be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,

discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it,

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
