=== TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1870. === The boys and I got in the remainder of the corn, and the corn-stalks this morning. The remainder of the day Charly has been ploughing while Will and I have been digging potatoes. This was Wills last day. I settled up with him to-night and paid him off, all but about three dollars. Our friend E. H. came last night to see us and stayed with us all night. Have just been passing through another dark season but God sustains me. === WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1870. === Charley keeps on ploughing still. I have been busy to day at different jobs excepting this afternoon when I went out to the Town line to pay a debt which I owed there. Strange things have taken place to day in my christian experiecne. Something seemed to ask me why I did not trust take God at His word with refference ot the matter of a companion, and to say also, that my hearts desire should yet be accomplished Then after all the thought came that after all it might be a temptation of Satan.
