So it was with the Rev. Chauncey Giles, who passed into the spiritual world at his home in Philadelphia, November 6, 1893. Mr. Giles searliest memories took him back to the hills of western Massachusetts, where he was born, inC harlemont, on the banks of theD eerfield River, on the nth of May, 1813. The region is picturesque, and to one who visits it in summer is most attractive ;but the hills are rocky for the plough, and farming, the business of the people, is laborious.
