forget you my boy ." ‘
My new comrade’s eyes lighted pleasantly.
The words had touched upon a happy mem-

thoughtfulness—almost into gloom. He
turned to me and said: .' .

the cold gray dawn broke inthe east. ' As
the light grew stronger the passengers began
to stir.and give signs of life, one “after an.

less indeed! Not a living thing visible any-

All day we moped about the cars saying
little, thinking much. Another lingering,
dreary night—and hunger.
‘ Another dawn—another day of silence, ‘
sadness, wasting hunger, hopeless watching
for succor that could not come. A night of
restless slumber filled— with the gnawings of
hunger.

Asavage hunger looked out at every. eye.
There was in it a sign of awful import—the
foreshadowing of a something that was va-

WThe coachman of one of the wealthy
families in Bridgeport, being indiaposed, re-
cently, sent a brother Hibernian to take his
place temporarily. The ladies of the family
wishing to ride out, ordered the acting
coschman to harness the span into the fami-
ly carriage, which he. did, when the ladies
got in and the team started. In going down
a steep bill a peculiarly unsteady and rock-
ing motion to the carriage was observed,
and in a moment more it ran full upon the
heels of the spirited horses, causing them to
plunge violently, get away from the driver,
overturn the coach, and throw out the la~
dies. Fortunately no one was hurt. Upon
inquiring into the cause of the accident it
was found that the cochman had neglected
to put in the pole, but had .hitched the hor-
ses to the coach by the draw straps alone,
which was a trick worthy of Handy Andy
himself.

and rhythmic motion, the glowing cheeks
and radiant eyes kissed by kindly winter
into tenfold beauty, is such a sight as the
holiest and hardest of anchorites might be
pardoned for falling in love with. And if
she be, on the contrary, a poor skater, the
charm is, if anything, heightened—at least
to her cavalier. There is such an irresisti-
ble fascination in her absolute dependence
onlliis protecting arm; there is such a charm
in her pretty terrors, her delicious helpless-
ness, her graceful tumble ; such a music in
her little shrieks of dread and her self accus—
.ing laughter; and then it is so delightful to
pick her up after each comical upset, and
she is throughout so good-natured, and so
grateful, and so provokingly pretty,that she
is if anything more adorable that if she skat-
ed like a champiopess. An ice-pond, too,
on a bright still night, with the moon ' and
stars all in their places to smile encourag-
ing approval,is no bad place to make love
in. When the most adorable of her sex
asks you, for example, as you go gliding
like the wind over the gla ssy surface,
“if this is’t heavenly,” and says “she could
go on so for ev.er," what is easier or more
natural than to press a little tighter the tiny
hand that nestles in your own, and suggest
that it is heavenly, and that it will be her
fault if you don’t go on for ever ? 0r, ifshe
be one of the tumbling kind, she is quite as
likely to observe that when .you pick her
up (not too quickly) for the fifteenth time,
that you are a dear sweet love and whatcan
she ever do to repay you, whereupon you
have only 'to murmur in her blushing ear
that she can be yours, and the thing is set-
tled at once. Then there is all that busi-
ness of lacing and unlacing skates, and but-
toning and unbuttoning of tippets, and a‘
thousand other delights that only the initiat-
ed know; and last of all, the brisk walk
home (no sensible skater ever rides) under
the mild benediction of the starlight. - If

mm a paper recently read by Dr. R. J.

silence duringmeals enjoined in many of our
seminaries, particularly those of religious
communition.‘ He said: ’
“It is a well-established clinical fact, that
cheerful society at meals greatly aids diges-

the trnth of the assertion. . Why, then,

Afnericans are generally, we believe, given
to too great taciturnity at meal time. The
old proverb, “Chatted food ishalf digested,"
is the expression of an important truth, and
one which deserves more attention than it
receives. Let parents and instructors encour-
age their children to engage in pleasant con.
versgtion at table, and they. willgreatly pro.

night lately, at the same time ringing the
door bell violently. “What do you want l.”
asked the owner, cautiously thrusting his
head from an upper window. “I’m your
cousin from Shrcwsbury, and I want to stay
here all night.” “Well, you may stay there

door bell alone," said the hospitable fellow
inside, as be shut down the window.

DON’T FREEZE Tim Linn: GIRLS—A
newspaper correspondent writes very sensi-
bly as follows. to a Chicago paper :—
In these cold, blowy, snowy, days, I am
pained to see the efforts of foolish parents to
freeze- their little girls. It is an outrage.
Girls should be dressed just as comfortably .
as boys. 0n the contrary, the poor little
shivering things are sent out into the
streets. with their heads comfortably pro-
tected, thick shawls around their should-
ers which comparatively need no protec-
tion, their skirts standing 1 out {at an
angle of forty-fiye degrees, {and their poor
little drum-stick legs as unprotected from
the blast as the legs of a turkey hanging in
a meat stall. And thus we pack ofl’ these
little girls to school, with their big heads to
be crammed full of learning, at the expense
of their legs, which, at .a tender age, are of
more importance than their heads. As a
general rule parents should devote their en~
tire attention to their little girl’s legs and let
their heads alone. The heads will take care
of themselves in due time. The legs are
helpless and need looking after. By taking
care of the heads little girls acquire a knowl-
edge, such as it is,- of music, drawing, all the
modern languages, botany, the use of the
globe, embroidery, poetry, and in general a
little of nothing, and by neglecting at the
same time their legs, they acquire colds,
coughs, headaches, Weak backs, pipe-stem
legs, hollow chests, neuralgias‘ and other
complaints, which either send them to Heav-
en beforo they ought" to go, to be made into
premature angels or if they live to grow up,
makes them drag through a miserable, un-
happy and unhealthy life. '
And all this time you take your great
strapping, tough bulks of boys who are nev-
er cold and are twice as .strong and hardy
as youi girls, and wrap them up, and fit them
out in thick woolen trousers and heavy top
boots. Re result is they grow up to be
tough, 5 ng men, and these little wretched
artificial feminine creatures don’t grow up at
all, or if they do, they develop into a sort of
human curiosity, far better for preservation
tion in a case of butterflies than for contact
with the sharp edges of the world.
If I had absolute pewer granted me, I
would call together every mother of the city
and I Would whisper in their ears: “Take
those girls of yburs and clothe them proper-
ly. You‘havc no business to embitter their
lives‘ With the misery. of poor health, and
some of you, I notice, are murdering your
children. It is therefore ordered that within
twenty-four hours, every one of these bless-' ‘
ed little girls shall have nice, loose, warm,
woolen garments, her legs pretected thor-
oughly, and her feet shod with thick com-
fort ie shoes, through which dampness will
not penetrate.” And after the twenty-four
hours, if I found a little girl running about
in any other condition by the Eternal, I
‘would hang. the mother for murder or malic-
ious intent to kill. ‘ That is what I__w.ould do
if I had absolute poWer. .
