TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1870.

Took out another load of barley this morning. The price seems to be falling fast. One of the buyers offered me 68 cents per bu for my barley and I feel almost inclined to take it. Will has been off to the picnic to day. Charley has been busy as usual. My pathway is still at times lined with trials and temptations, almost at every step. My life is not altogether conformed to His immage and likeness. And yet such is my inmost desire.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1870.

Charley went off to help move an old neighbour James Brown away to his new place in Windham. I finished the Peach picking this forenoon and this afternoon mother & I went out to Dover and from there to Simcoe. Came home direclty home and our friedn E. H. came from Simcoe with us. I left the managing of my Barley into this hands last night and he thought best to let it go. So the whole crop is sold at about 68 cts per Bu.
