TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1870.

The boys have been working at the wood pile again to day. I went up to Simcoe this forenoon and found the roads very bad indeed, worse than I ever remember seeing them before. I settled up some little accounts in Simcoe and came away better spirited. How tenderly does our Heavenly father care for His trusting confiding children. O Lord 'give me grace that I may render unto thee all the glory as well as my life--my all. I have manifested a rebellious ungrateful spirit to day. But may the Lord have mercy upon me.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1870. Charley fixed up some fence along hte Side Road. This afternoon Henry helped him saw wood with the cross-cut saw.
