Sunday morning was not an idle one for the farmer-boy. He must risetolerably early, for the cows were to be milked and driven topasture; family prayers were a little longer than on other days;there were the Sunday-school verses to be relearned, for they did notstay in mind over evening; perhaps the wagon was to be greased beforethe neighbors began to drive by; and the horse was to be caught outof the pasture, ridden home bareback, and harnessed.
