D BLOUGE Richmond Hill and Vicinity To the Editor of THE Luann u. \Vhat a monotonous world this Would be if its people were, not allow- ed to laugh. Ofall God's rent crea- tion man is the only anima that the Divine Creator has made, to laugh. Carlyle says, “Beware of the man‘ that never laughs. He is only fit for schemes, strut-agems and spoils.” Man laughs in dimpled childhood, he joins in the hilarity of later years, and he (-huckles when again a. child over the ludicrous incidents of the long gone, hy, as sometimes in fantastic shapes they {lit across the memory. In these times of wonderful change for the better, these (lays of rapid ad- vancement in religion, education and temperance principles, we can afford to look back upon the past and smile at the eccentricities of those who have helped to make up their share, of the more humomus portion of the chron- ivles of our village. In this history repeats itself. for as we laugh over the primitive and somewhat uncouth do- ings of former years, so those. of the middle of the century on which we are about to enter will smile, perhaps audibly, at What we in our Wisdom call “advanced civilization,” as the crude notions of a. couple of genera- tions before. In these later years our village has been greatly improved in its religious and moral aspects. There are so many ways to which the time. and attention of our people can be directed to assist in enabling us to make our existence pleasant and our lives profitable that we can dwell with some degree of amusement on the escapades of those who, in former years. had to confine themselves to, narrower limits (If en- joyment, to cruder and perhaps ough- er methods of obtaining it. The ret- rospection should make us thankful for the opportunities of the present day and for the wisdom of later years, Like other villages and towns of less and perhaps of greater aspiratinns, we have had our regular ammunne- ments of Births, Marriages and Deaths, or as the Editor of a rut-111 paper once headed his obituary col- umn, Hatches, Matches and Despatch- es. Our births have not been without their incidents, our marriages not with-. out their romances, nor our deaths without their ludicrous as well as their solemn surroundings. To pass a chatty moment with the I‘eutlelS of THE LIBERAL without any pretentions to literary ability or supposition of any deep archeeological reseal ch the writer proposes to call up from the dim vista of the past episodes in marriages and deaths and perhaps other reminiscem ces that in their day have provoked a ripple of merriment and caused even solemn countenances to broaden to a smile. About thirty years ago there lived amongst us as the minister of the Methodist Church, the late Rev. John Bredon. The rev. gentleman was a typical Irishman ‘of the. educated class. He was always ready for an intellect- ual encounter in the pulpit, on the platform or through the press. He was most at peace when best engaged with a foeman worthy of his steel in . some combat that required great de- mands on his mental activities, and gratified his pugilistic proclivities for a fight. No one knew better how to appreciate a joke than Dr. Bredon, and no one could perpetrate one with a sharper point or with a greater relish than he. The writer I‘ecollects on one occasion coming down from Parry Sound on the Northern Railway. On board were the Rev. John Bredon, the then editor of the Guardian, and a number of other ministers returning from a. camp meeting held at the. the Sound‘. A lad with an armful of books for sale passing through the car stopped before the editor with a. tempting smile for his patronage. The man of letters replied that he sold such, and pointingr to the Rev. John , Bredon said. “Go and try that gentle- man, he lives in a dark and benightt-d part of the country." The Dr. over- heard the remark and as quick asa flash retorted, “ \Vell, if I do live in a dark and henighted part of the coun- try I am indebted to your farthing candle ifor it.” It was well known that the editor took a laudable and a well grounded pride in the makeup of the Guardian. The laugh caused by the keen thrust somewhat disconcert- ed the literary gentleman’s equilib- rium. One morning while on this circuit the Rev. John Bredon in his dressing- gown was strolling on the lawn in front of the parsonage making mental calculations for his next Sunday's sermon when he was necosted from the gate by a rustic looking specimen of the genus homo wirh “ Be you the chap that marries folks P" Ali-.Bredon replied that he did jobs of that kind occasionally. “\Vell," said the visitor. " me and my gal Want to he jined toâ€" gether; can you do it now?” The u (m‘idings and \‘Vnkvs. WM. HARRISON. P” M 1-.151‘edun zhs of that kind said the visitor. to be jined to- 71" it, now?” Lne rev. gentleman expressed his willing- ness m nccmnmodute them, and asked for the lady. “ I’ll bring her," was the response, and the-applicant, for mat- rixixoninl honors disappeared. The minister had‘ but just time to don his clerical robes when the parson- age door opened and the youthful as- pirant for domestic felicity ushered in a. fine handsome looking young wo- man, dressed in the height of fashion, decked with the gayest ribbons and smiling all over her face. “ Here she is ready and Willin‘," was the brief introduction, supplemented with the fellowing admonition :â€" “Now. parson. we want this business done up short, and we don’t want any of your darn long prayers in it nu ther." The pal-son said that he would do the best. he could for them. The contract- ing parties stood up for the ordeal. The obliging clergyman stretched the ceremony to its utmost limits, con- cluding with a. lengthy bit of advice on the proprieties of social life. By the time he got through that couple. were well tied. The ceremony over the new benedict proffered a substan- tial fee and with a. look of gratified ambition “ reckoned the job well done, and cheap.” 1 As soon as the happy couple were at it safe distance the 1ev. gentleman’s pent up visibilities were given vent, and he made the parsonage ring again and again.
