OVER THE SNOW.
Holiday week had set in heavy and
' threatening. It had opened with a prom-
- ise of snow, and had closed with its veri-
fication so fast and furious that by:
ChriStmas eve the who‘ 0 country for I
miles around Piketon was wrapped in'
one spot-less and unbroken mantle. The
sleighing was perfect. Never in the
inmnory of that much quoted oldest au-
-_:.4- :ity in Piketon had it been so Hood.
' Dur metropolis was alive with excité- ,
clout—like the classic city of Stoke-
“agitated to its center.’
The sudden furor for sleighing, added
to the inevitable buzz of holiday prepa- .
ration drove the usually quiet popula-
11011 into a fever of action. Every avail-
able Sleigh, however old, was rooted
from its hiding place; horses accustomed
only to the plow and the market Wagon ,
pricked up their ears to tho unwo'nted .
hi-g’ lang! of excited drivers, and even
crockery crates and dry goods boxes
were put- upon extemporized runners.
All Piketon, swathed' in furs or blank-
ets, was bundled into something that
' would slide; the road to the “Bull‘s
Eye ——the sedate drovers’ tavern five .
miles out—was resenant with the merry
' music of their bells and t1.) rollicking ,
' laughter of their occupants, while its
' primitive bar room and sanded parlor
we re alike crowded from nipping mom
to frosty cvc. ,
And how delicious is a sleigh ride
when- all surroundings are propitious!
Who that has ever wintered in a snow
country but has a store of ready recol-
lectious that spring up at the first sound
of the bells? Be he a serious, well round-
- ed bachelor of 50 their lively jar shakes
the cumulate dust from still crevices of
memory and long slumbering remin-
iscences, unrolling themselves like mar-
uiots in the spring, crawl out to bask in
the sunlight of that long ago. Perhaps '
they find the gleam but a deceptive
one now, and, after blinking at the
present for a while, creep back again
and c1111 themselves up for a. longer nap.
’J'uice I «seemed to look around at the
maple bchI 2110 me.
No aerid and hopeless spinster walk-
ing regretfully on the shadowy side of
maidenhood but straightens her back,
drops her shoulders and smoothes out
her wrinkles as the music of the bells
plays variations 011 a half- forgotten
themc of cozy sleigh and comfortable
wrappers, all winding up with a crash-
ing crescendo of hot oysters and merry
reel.
And to those young hearts, suscepti-
ble to frolic as to sentiment. and throb-
bing for ever changing excitement, what
a delicious bound'it Sends!
\
, Oh- the be 115, sleighlng bells,
Whatawo. 111 of me n'lmsnt their melody fore
tens.
Yes 3, sleighing is glorious. ’Tis the
next best thing 0to flying to sit in the
light, strong cutter and glide over the
smooth su rface without noise or jar,
seeming scarce to touch it. Your glossy
black, catching the lively inspiration of
his bells, shakes his head in huge frolic,
smtches out afresh and spurns the snow
in lighter wreaths from his ever quick-
ening heels. Now for a brush! See that
yellow jumper just ahead. 'Hu—y-a-ah!
and the reins tighten, the clean head
goes straighter out, the snow wreathsfly
higher still behind the strong hoofs. We
are 0113! We close the gap—the yellow
sleigh gains once moreu—a length, two!
Once more we close and fly along neck
and neck! - How the bells "pearl“ and
shriek! How the horses race now as: if
for their Own honor! How the clear,
keen wind whistles past the fur tipped
ears, exhilarating like huge bumpers of
champagne, as we fly along side by side
for three hundred yards! Just ahead
looms a huge I“pung” loaded down and
creeping over the snow. Now is the
time; now or never! Straighten back,
brace knee! Down comes the lithe lash
ver the black’s flanks, and what a spurt
we have! The brown mare strains every
muscle; her driver lays flat back on the
ribbons—now he plios'his whiplike mad!
He laps us again; for a hundred yards
3 011 could cover them both with a blan-
ket! Once more We forge a length
ahead We near the pong—We gain a.
Ion gthntwo. Hnoya-a-ah! and the brown
is in the air! We feel her hot breath on
0111 necks; weijust graze the pung, fear-
full}, close, and wind in just before her! ,
Oh, that was glorious! .
And if anything can add to the fun it"
is to have a particular somebody tucked
in beside one, with a pair of bright eyes
that. dance to the merry music of the.
rich laugh, with a tiny hand that rests, '
5 011' how my soul went .out' in wild yoarn— 1
in pretty fright, on the tense arm that
guides the black a thought too near- the
scrapers of the yellow sleigh. .Anf-d it _is

unknown quantity of tender femininity

if to corroborate it, the gray mare made
a terrific lungs femard, while “Jalap”.
“So-ho! steady, boys?” and the lieuten-

“W-what do y-on Inc-mean?” I gasped,
bumping about the back seat in huge
discomfort, as the biting wind, rushing
down my throat with the force of a.
norther, nearly strangled me “Wh-hy '
“All right, my boy,” Tom answered
nheerily through his set teeth; and he
braced every muscle afresh while the
cruel lash descended on the flagging
horses. “All right! you know I must
bring’ em in quiet for Uncle Bob to me.
So, lads, so-o-o! now steady!” One long
sway of his broad back brought them
down to a cantor, then into a swinging
trot, and turning into the mayor’s lane,
we drew up at the door. ~ .I
“There! hold the ribbons! I won’t be
gone a second. Bet’s ready, I know;”
and, forcing the reins into my reluctant
hands, Tom sprang out and disappeared
in the doorway.
Now, after all my tirade about racing 7
and'sleighing and such stuff, one might
reasonably suppose me a very Phaeton,
or at least a Hiram Woodmfi. But I
was always Strong in theories and—in
confidence. that stuff was all talk—pure
imagination. Practically, I never was
the least bit horsoy' in my tastes, and 31.
ways hated to drive unless -I knew my
beast to be perfectly harmless. In fact,
[ever felt a tingle of brotherly sym-
sang:
There s something in a horse
That I can always boner, but never can indorse.
Neither was I ambitions of the fate of
Phaeton; so, keeping one eye fixed on
the gray’s ears and the other on the
the taut reins until I felt safe to straddle
the front seat, and finally brace myself
against the dasher. The gray still kept I
his head out and bore steadily on the
enough go in the late scamper and
pulled dead against him. Congratu—
lating myself that the doctor’s herse
acted as a 'cou'nt'er irritant on the
dravving propensities of his mate, I be-
gan to be 1653 entirely miserable in my
new position. I tucked the buffalo care—
fully round my legs, and by the time
Mme Bettie’s laugh rang out from the
doorway, I actually plucked up spirit to
turn one eye upon her But the other
:was fixed on the gray’s cars like the optic
or the ancient mariner, even while I.
nodded with a. dismal afiectation of jol:
lity. And Mayor Blythe was saying:
“And you’re quite sure they are safe,

“Gentle as lambs, sir, as far as _I
know,” Tom answered,- simply. “But
ask the man that handles ’em. He drove '
them from the stable. ” Had that young
ofiicer been studying the “Ready Liar,
or Perjurer’ s Companion”?
“Why, you can see they are, papa,
dear. Icould drive them myself, couldn’t
I?” and Miss Bettie’s eyes were turned
on me.
When Tom had spoken, my inmost
soul was torn with a burning desire to
do my duty, to throw myself upon the '
_mayor’ 3 breast and pour out my passion-
'ate belief that it was felony, wilful mur-
der, Suicide, to go! Now, had the reply
jeopardized my. immortal part for all"
eternity I could not have answered that
gurgling voice, thrilling through me
like rich Burgundy, otherwise than by !A
sum .
“Gentle as kittens, Miss Bettie; hardly
fresh even. Mr. Blythe. " And I chuckled
with rue'ful hilarity. Then that infernal
gray, as if' in judgment, nearly took my
shoulder out Of the socket. I ;
“I knew they were, papa, dear. He
would never risk me with them else; and, .

bosotted, wild with the haschish of that
emphasized pronoun. Those wondrous 1
eyes shot me a glance of thanks; the tiny
hands clapped in glee, and closing on
each side the gray whiskers, drew the-
old man’ 3 face down to the ripe lips. A I
clicking kiss, Seemingly all around me
in th e sharp air, drove me perfectly
drunk with envy. I- was ,wild enough
to seize the whip Tom had thrown care-
lessly on the back seat; but even in the
madness of that supreme mement I had
method enough left to keep it far back
out or the gray ’s sight.
“How impatient he looks, tucked up
in his driver’ 3 perch!” Tom said, airily,
to his uncle. “If the horses were only
half as much so we- might have a lively)

THE PROCEEDINGS 'AT AN AFRIQAN
CHURCH IN NEW JERSEY ' '
,/'~
A Clock That Ind Bo‘e'n Tamfi’eced with
Would Not Strike tho Witching Hour.
=Tho Story of the Prodigal 5011 in Mod-
on Form. 4 ~
The annual watch meetingof the mom-
hereof the African Baptist church at
Timbuctoo, N. .J.', a, “ear or fivo ago was
in many respects a novel one.-
For many years the sable fesidents of
the little settlement in the woods near
Burlington have been in the habit of
1101de a. watch meeting on New Year’s
eve. These meetings are al'Ways well
attended by old and young, And have
often developed a. great revival of re-
ligion in that section. _
A year ago the watch meeting was 3
failure because the preacher-’3 watch'
stopped at half p331: 11 o’clock, and the
fact was not discovered until daylight.-
To prevent a recurrence 1.1.1.1.... mistake
it was decided last year to 113173 a big'
. eight day clock, owned by “King". Lewis
Armstrong, who has long enjoyed '_tho
honor of ruling the destinies of Timbuc- "
too, repaired' in proper shape and taken '
to the church to mark the passage or
time. This was done, and the clock was
put in the church just back of the pul- ;.
pit where every one could see it. And,
to keep the clock in time, Elder Jordan
and Elder Congo were instructed to
have their watches wound up and set
by railroad time to avoid any p033i'bility
of a mistake. This they agreed to do.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the services be-
gan and the church was filled. “King"
Lewis Armstrong sat in the pulpit with
Preacher Quann, and occasmnally de-
voted a few minutes to keeping the stove
hot. _
red‘bis yer Watch meeting," said Preach-
or Quan'n, “will begin wid a hymn,
‘l’me goin’ over Jerding by and by.’
You all knows do tune: hit’3 bin 31mg
yer a good many years—and hit means
jus’ as much now 33 hit ever did. And
when you 3111 a singin’ it, brethering,
doan forgit to think what do words
mean. De tune alone won’t save yer
souls. Dar am plenty of good singers
dat ain’t 'got no more ’ligio'n than a
skunk. Singin’ am like prayin’. You
has got to mean de words you is usin’ or
you ain’t no good. "
The chOir. which was stationed just
back of the stove, thereupon raised the
tune. After two or three verses had
been sung the entire con ation began
to ,enter into'the spirit. of o occasion,
swaying their'bodies to and fro in time
with the music and .» keeping a peculiar
sort of double time with their feet on
the floor. As the verses were exhausted
the preacher would yell,- “Swing do tune
This always
Finally they be-
came weary and a halt was ordered.
“King" Lewis Armstrong next said a
few words, in which he strOngly advised
the young men of Timbuctoo’ to change
their ways before it Was too late.
“Dar ain’t no better time ’11 now. ” he
said. “Dis present time you ortor quit
yer omery ways, forsake do exampul of
do wicked Herod and get into do ark of
glory, wot am lighted wid elasti'ic light
and full of groceries for do winter. We
am jes‘ about gettin' into another year,
and all of 113 crter to make up our mines
to do better. Git away from de sins dat
has kivored you up, and if you die next
year you will be comfortabul in Aber-
ham’s buzzum. What I’me tollin' you is
facts. ‘Taint no guess Work. Ef you
(10311 believe it look at dat prodigal 3011
what do good book tells us about. '1
“Dar was a man dat was mitey well
fixed. He had a good job do his fod-
der’ 3 farm, had a boss and wagon to use
whenever he wanted it and 130 Sunday
milkin‘ to do. Buthis heart wasn't-33t-
. isfied. He thought do old man wasn‘t
farmin do place right. He ‘lowed ho
' could do a heap better a wukkin for his-
self, cos de ole man was behind do timei.
‘De proderigal he had been readin do
: 'tisements in do papers ’bout men want-
l ed to take big jobs and nuthin' much to
do. So he says: ‘Guess I‘ll quit, ole
man. Gimme what's comin‘ to me. an’
[’11 try my luck som‘m'er else. De
old man tuk him at his word, guv
him the money and chased him out. But
he didn’t make no money. He jes’ fool
it away on farm morgiges out west and
11033 racin’ in the east till he blowed it
all' in. Don be (101118 back on do farm,
and do ole man tuk pity on him, furguv
him what he done au'd give him a heme
ag‘ in. And dat’s what do Lord ‘11 do for
you of you doan put it of too long.”
.The effect of this on the congregation
was marked, and soon there were many
sinners on the m6111'n'er3‘ bench From
that time until midnight there was 'eing'h
ing and prayer until “King" Lewis'
eight day clock struck 9 instead of 13.
This raised a. commotion and the block
was soundly denounced ' “11111::me
said;
"Hit doan make no difierehce whut
do clock strikes; look at- do han’ s and-
dey’l] tell you do time. Fact is, I bleove
dot at young will'yum. Lord Garrison,
has been/monkoyin‘ wi'd de- striking
tools' in dat clock anyhow.” .
This was denied by the accused, and
' it v as finally decided to refer the matter
of the time to Elders Jordan and Congo.‘
There was just two minutes difference ,
in their watches. 30 a compromise was ;
struck by Congo setting. his watch _3
minute 133.21.11.33. '33 both watches
pointed to the hour of 12 the preacher .

We can even imagine
Caesar himself, shortly after the reforma-
tion of the Calendar, resolving-- that he
would cease to think again of- a ln'ngly
orp'w'n, and-I; Lucullus resolving that no ,
banquets of peacocks’ tongues and night-
ingales’I brains 'shOul'd cost more than 30
many sestertii, Catalina resolving on no
more conspiracies, and Cicero upon less
talking And doubtless long before their
tune there was some other day set apart
and made memorable by this same cos--
tom, for even when Adam and Eve loft
Eden they must .havevmade a resolve to
eat .no more apples of the tree of the ‘
knowledge: of _g'obd and evil, should they
chance to come across them. -
But indeed the making of good reso-
lotions has always been so easy that one
marvels why any day 111 especial should
ever have been set apart for the purpose. -
.. Yet the fact is that almost every one
likes to postpone the time of relinquish-

we may observe that usually the time
for: carrying the good resolve into effect
is” soldoi'n this moment or this day, but
is always among the tomorrows; and
thus uncountod good resolutions are made
in any part of the last year,- the time
for their budding into action being
always left for the first day of the new
year.-
It would seem, then, that this first day
of the new year is really a sort of sacri-
nan day, and while we never celebrate
it“ with external ceremonial as '3. day of
sacreduess, as we do many other holi-
days, it is in very truth a day of sacred-
ness in the ofiebt that it has upon us as a
means of grace, let us say, since there is
no question but that the making of good
resolutions is a means Of grace, no mat-
(of how poorly we use the means after-
ward. On that one day of all the 365
we have the chance to make ourselves
better than we were by all the height of
our desire and our resolve, and thus
something of the loftiness of the desire
and the resolve belongs. about the day. -—

Address E 64. —— office.
The above advertisement' in one of the
Chicago dailies attracted the attention
of a reporter. A correspondence was
entered into with the result of an in-
terview being arranged for, the adve'r-
tis'er being quite unaware that publicity
would be given to what was developed.
The manager of the “social agency,’ ’for
such he called his establishment, was
found occupying an office in one of the
tall buildings, and explained that the
general purpose of his business was the
leaving of calling cards, thereby saving
society people the trouble of doing this
work themselves. “Ordinarily.” he said,
“I employ half a dozen carriages and an
equal number of footmen. I can save a
lady the trouble of driving around and
leaving her and by doing the work for
her. and if you want anything done that
way I would be pleased to 3e1' ve you. My
charges are moderate." .
"What do you charge?”
“My regular rates are $1 per 100 cards
1311,1211; I make a reduction for heavy
business.”
“How do you manage to do the work

several hundied would be required if it
worse done by the ladies themselves.”
“What aro your special features for
N ew Year‘ 3’
“That, of course, is our biggest day,
not only from the number of calls that
are made, but because we work on New
Year‘ 3 in a double capaCity, not only do-
live'ring, cards for those who choose to"
employ 113, but leaving them in the
baskets hung outside of our patrons’
doors. We will have over a hundred
camages. calling this New Year’ 3, and
. we will have to supply them with gon- -
tlemen in dress 3111113. We will also have
a number of callers on foot. at half rates.
as some prefer these.”
! -“What' 13 the advantage of all'this?"
"‘Why, it gives prestige to the ladies

they must be considered very desirable
