Charley and I have been geting out manure to day, as usual, from the barnyard. The weather has been very favourable for our work. Mr. & Mrs. Murphy left us this morning. I can scarcely realize that this is the last day of 1870, & yet it is so. By the blessing of God I have just completed reading the Bible through on my knees, the second time. Have never read the Holy Scriptures with so much proffit as during the past year. This I attribute to in a measure to Dr. Addam Clarkes commentary, which I have often referred to. | Charley and I have been geting out manure to day, as usual, from the barnyard.

The past has been a very stormy day. Surely the old year is going out like a lion. Charley & I have not been doing but little today. My life. Oh, what is it! What has it been ! I have tried time after time to drive the fowls away from the sacrifice but alass! How poorly are my feeble efforts crowned without success, unless it be by the pure grace of God. The greatest difficulty in the way seems to be, to look away from earth to heaven, for strength.
