AN AUTOBIOGRAPY.
““I, Alexand'er Joseph,
former
teacher
of
Peter’s
Rest
Senool,
was
born
on
the
15th
July,
1853,
at
Piggott’s
Viilage,
St. George’s
Parish,
Antigua.
My paren‘s’

a Moravian.
As a boy i attended
a Moravian

Lo my native
place
in
the person
of Mr. Paul lhompson—subse-
quently, Rev. Thompson
of Fraidensteldt,
St. Croix.
In keeping
with
my motker’s
desire
that
I
should
become
a
teacher,
[ was
placed under Mr. Thompson
to whose pre-
paratory
training
I
am
much indebted.
I entered
the
Mico Training College
for
teachers
in
1871,
in
my eighteenth
year,
and
after
three
years
training,
I
received
a call from the Rev.

Dear
Mr. Yohansen:
Some

savs
tha
the V. E. N.
is
funnie:.
He
says
that
I shotld
give
the
people
a pus el; the piscel is why
is
the W. E. N. like the Bible?.
1 v/ill give
the
answer
another
tine
if
nobody
gueses
it.
I caniot give ai'y
prise untill
the
dollar
goes
down
or the
franc
gues
up
I dont
know
which
is
rong,
Daddy
says
the frane,,
Mr. Larser
says
the
dol-
lar,
Leander
say:
both
and
Motker
says
their ideas
are al
‘‘rash.””
Daddy
says
vour edircrials
in
rthese
days
are
all
““bull’”’ and
souni
ike 23 «nd

He says
you
did not
say
if the eggs
you
burt
were
good
or
rotten
for
gnod
eggs
are
sold all
about
for 7 cents
a piece.
Daddy
says
some
of
the
references
made
is
poor
logic
and
poor
taste.
He thinks
that the
throing
of
oil on the waters
is
for the benefit
of
some
persons
or institution.
He says
A.
B. and N. B.
are
synonymous
terms
any-
way
(mother
spelt this word for me).
A
person
wanted
to know
how it
is
that
the king of the
jungle forgot
to
mention
good
bay-rum.
Mr.

however
he looked ready
