SLEIoH.RIDING WITH YoUNa WIDOW
Snow had fallen; the young Of the village
got up grand sleighing party to country
tavern at some distance; and the interesting
widow Lambkin sat in the same sleigh, and
under the same buffalo with myself.
"Oh! oh! DON'T" she exclaimed, as We
came to the first bridge. catching me by the
arm. while her eyes twinkled through the
moonlight.
Don't what?.' I asked. "rm not doing
anything"
"Wel but I thought you we're going tc
take toll, replied Mrs. Lambkin."
"Whats that?" rejoined |.
+" How ?" exclaimed the widow, her cleal
laugh ringing oui above the music of the
bells. Dr.. Medows pretends he don't know
wath toll is"
"lndeed | don't then" said laughing il
turn.
"Don't you know. that gentlemen, wher
they go on seghing party, claim kiss as
toll when they cross a bridge? Well new
er!'
When next VIC came TO bridge and claim
ed toll, the struggles Of the widow to hold
the veil were not sufficient to tear il and some
how, when the veil was removed her face
was turned directly towards my own, and ia
the glitiering Of the moonlight, the horse trot
ted on himself toll was taken for the first
time in bis life by DR.. Medows. Soon we
came 10 long bridge. but the widow said il
was no use 10 resist, and she paid up as we
reached it without struggle.
But you won't take toll for every arch
will you, Doctor?' she asked.
To which the only reyly was a practical
affirmative to the question. Did you ever

A submarine feet of small boats, each to con-
tain crew of twenty men, is already talked OF
as being about to be organized for the Black sea.
1t seems that no intirnation whatever is given,
by the slightest ruffie on the surface, of the
approach of one of these vessels. The appara-
tus invented by DR.. Payerne enables the wear
er, moreover, to move about with perfect ease
at the bottom of the sea, and great anticipa-s
lions are formed of the immense benefit to be
derived in submarine history from the adoption
of this new method of becoming acquainted
with the hitherto unknown mystery of the
ocean. However it is not bad reelection on
the spirit Of the age in which we live, tor
