and no hopes are entertained of his recovery.

This must be an everlasting fine country be-
yond all doubt for the folks have nothn to do
but to ride about and talk politics. In winter,
when the ground is covered with snow what
grand times they have a staying over these
here mashes with the gals, or playin ball on
the ice, or gon to quiltn irolcs, of nice long
winter evenings and then drvn home like
mad by moonlight. Na,ur meant that season
on purpose for courtn A little tidy scrumtous
looking slay, a real clipper of horse, n string
of bells as long as a string inions round his
neck, and sprig on his back, looking for all
the world like bunch of apples at gathetln
time, and a sweetheart alongside, all mutficd
up but her eyes and lips, the one looking right
at you, is cen almost to drive on ravin, tarin,
/ distracted mad with pleasure, amt it And
/ then the dear critters say the bells make such
/ a din there's no hearin ones self speak so they
put their pretty little mugs close up the face,
and talk, talk, till one can't help looking at
them instead of the horse, and then whap
you 90 capsized into n snow drift together,
skins, cushions, and all. And then to see the
little critter shake hersefwhen she gets up,
like duck landing from pond, chattering
away all the time like a canary Bird and you
haw-hawing with pleasure, is fun alive, you
may depend In this way blue-nose gets on to
offer himsefas lover, before he knows where
he is, But when he gets married, he recovers
his eyesight in little less than half no time
He soon finds he's treed his flint is fixed then
you may depend. She larns him how vinegar
is made Put plenty Of sugar into the water
atorehand, my dear says she, 'f you want il
real sharp The larfis on the other side o.
his mouth. If his slay gets upset its no longer
funny matter, | tell you he catches it righ
and left. Her eyes don't look up to his'n any
more, nor her little tongue ring like bell any
longer but great big hood covers her head
; and wappin great mutf covers her face, and she
looks like a bag of old clothes agoing to tn,
brook to be washed. When they get out, sh,
don't want any more for him TO walk lock an'
lock with her, but they march like horse an
4 COW to water in each gutter. If their aint
transmogrifcatlon, it's pity. The dtferenc
/ between wife and ewcethear. is near abou
, as great as there is between new and hard c
der--a man meyer tires Of putin one 10 his lip'
