The  Pastoral  Parson 
(Continued  from  Page  654) 
hardly  pays  to  truck  a  lot  of  water  10 
or  12  miles. 
Vermont. — Here  it  is  April  13,  and 
the  Parson  is  sitting  in  the  corner  of  the 
old  sugar  house  up  in  Vermont.  It  has 
been  years  since  he  has  been  up  here  in 
sugaring  time.  One  thing,  it  costs  so 
much  to  ride  on  the  railroad.  He  used 
to  come  up  and  back  for  $7.08  with  a 
mileage  book.  Yesterday  it  cost  just- 
$7.15  one  way.  If  he  had  brought  the 
whole  family  it  would  have  cost  $84.00. 
No  wonder  people  ride  in  Ford  cars  in¬ 
stead.  How  the  Parson  would  like  to 
brine  up  the  boys  and  go  round  and 
gather  sap  together,  and  tell  them  about 
the  trees  and  give  them  the  names  of 
many  of  the  trees.  Then  to  have  them 
over  here  and  fry  ham  on  the  coals  and 
boil  eggs  in  the  hot  sap.  How  dirty  and 
black  and  tired  we  used  to  get!  We 
would  sink  into  a  chair  when  we  got 
home,  and  at  times  mother  would  come 
and  wash  us,  we  were  that  tired.  What 
a  great  joy  sugaring  can  be  made  to  the 
boys  on  the  farm — a  regular  camping 
time,  and  sliding  time,  too,  for  there  is  a 
crust  in  the  morning  and  many  banks 
and  drifts  to  slide  down.  The  Parson 
approached  the  sugar  orchard,  or  place, 
as  we  always  called  it,  from  the  north. 
Yes,  the  trees  had  grown,  but  not  as 
much  as  he  had  expected.  He  thought 
they  would  be  as  big  as  the  old  first 
growth  trees  he  remembered  40  years  ago. 
Old  Slant. — The  Parson  headed  for 
Old  Slant.  How  many  times  he  had 
tapped  and  gathered  Old  Slant !  She 
stands  on  a  bank,  back  of  the  old  sugar 
house.  By  the  time  other  trees  were  half 
full  you  must  take  a  pail  and  go  and 
gather  Old  Slant,  for  she  would  be  run¬ 
ning  over.  He  approached  Old  Slant 
with  deep  anxiety.  Would  she  have 
maintained  that  reputation  all  these  40 
years?  Other  trees  around  about  had 
only  a  few  quarts  in  their  pails,  some 
hardly  any.  Old  Slant  had  two  buckets, 
the  first  half  full,  the  one  on  the  south 
side  running  over.  Uncle  Cl ossie  is  now 
dipping  off  some  syrup.  “Here’s  some  in 
this  dipper,  George,”  he  says.  So  with 
a  huge  great  iron  spoon  from  the  depths 
of  a  big  dipper  the  Parson  is  putting 
away  that  syrup.  No,  the  dipper  wasn’t 
full.  No  matter  how  much  there  was  in 
it.  You  know  how  the  city  boy,  when  he 
had  a  drink  of  milk  at  the  farm,  wished 
his  mother’s  milkman  would  get  a  cow. 
So  if  the  people  who  never  sipped  syrup 
right  from  the  pan  could  taste  from  this 
big  dipper  with  the  Parson,  they  would 
wish  their  city  grocer  who  sells  them 
“maple  syrup”  in  a  bottle  would  get  con¬ 
nected  up  with  a  maple  tree. 
Old  Crotch.  —  Before  leaving  the 
woods  the  Parson  must  pay  a  respectful 
visit  to  Old  Crotch,  ’way  down  toward 
the  south  end  of  the  woods.  This  tree, 
with  its  great  crotch,  and  really  a  double 
top,  asked  no  odds  of  Old  Slant  or  any 
other  sister. 
Little  Blackie.  —  Then  from  Old 
Crotch  he  will  make  a  call  on  Little 
Blackie.  This  was  a  small  tree  with  a 
lot  of  black  bark  on  one  side.  How  Little 
Blackie  would  run !  No  one  could  ever 
reason  why.  Certainly  that  black  bark 
bad  nothing  to  do  with  it.  Why  be  like 
all  the  other  trees?  “Be  not  conformed 
to  this  world,”  says  St.  Paul.  Be  not 
like  all  the  common  herd,  but  stand  out 
as  an  extra — one  that  the  world  will  look 
for  as  the  Parson  searches  out  these  trees. 
Next  Morning. — Here  it  is  April  14 
in  Vermont.  It  swung  around  cold  as 
fury  last  night.  We  gathered  late  yes¬ 
terday  afternoon,  and  the  sap  froze  in 
the  pails.  The  windows  are  covered  with 
frost  this  morning.  Uncle  Clossie  came 
over  from  the  sugar  house  at  two  o’clock 
in  the  night  to  cover  up  seed  potatoes  on 
the  barn  floor — just  as  he  had  done  on 
the  17th  of  October  last  Fall,  making  six 
solid  months  of  solid  Winter  that  was 
cold  enough  to  freeze  your  head  off.  But 
the  Parson  must  go  down  cellar  and  help 
get  out  100  bushels  of  seed  potatoes,  a 
little  small  for  market,  but  just  as  good 
for  his  down  country  church  folks.
