THE EVENING NEWS.

ever DeSlUNGO OAl I'LL ' SAAASNSS wan -AS
rora. Everything that had runners Tex
cepting Stage Companys and Gift Enter
prise concernsl. was in earnest requiSition
for a sleigh ride. Brown-of course you
know the genial, good natured Brown
of the Virginia and Gold Hill Omnibus
Line, rugged 3 sleigh several cables in
length, with two rows Of seats facing each
other, camp meeting style, and hltchng
ND six ferv untamed sreedS, drove up IN
great stvle in front Of the International,
and politely invited US TO take slelgh-
ride" We quietly suggested the safety OF
the adventure, but Brown assured US Of
his skill and care. and persuaded US to
,uls, our fragile form to the capacious
DEPTHS of his cutter. We started, and
here permit us to state that we will never
forgive Birdsall for begging the assembled
multitude not to throw snow-balls at our
devoted head. The balls few fast and
thick. immediately One of our ears was
blockaded, and while buSily engaged in
drifting through the cold application, our
left-hand dark bay-eye, was closed by the
same unpleasant material, next off went
ten dollar hat We won OF Charley Cheney,
and TO increase our confusion our reyered
wig fell in the Slush, and we were left
literally uncovered; at last Brown pitying
our misfortunes put whip to his team, and
We were beyond reach Of juvenile missiles.
Our ride TO Gold Hill was pleasant, and
che virtuous citizens of the Hill had re-
SpeCc for our years and sober habits, and
no hostile projectile disturbed our course.
The return commenced most auspiciously,
and Miss Lulu CASTOR, being duly intro
duced. shook her curlS and nestled her
tlimpled cheek confdingly against our
arm, and eonversed of the Sleighing and
other items. We enjoyed ourself. We
were happy. Our load increased, and o
bevy of femininity, with sparkling eyes
and rosy cheeks increased our good hu-
NOR. We toiled up the hill, and again
fair women were added to our bill of Ia
ding, and the laugh and jest went freely
round. Miss Lulu grew more con6ding,
we more elated-everything was lovely.
\ change came DER the happy scene. We
experienced sensation Of falling; Lulu
chung convulsively to our neck; we
gasped for breath; we clutched the empty
air. and over we went. Our presence of
mind did not forsake us, and we yalor-
ously protected Lulu. The snow received
Us in its soft embrace, and 4 hurried
glance disclosed several romantic scenes
that our modeSty forbade enjoyment of;
our eyes closed; a strong arm drew US
and our fair Lulu to an upright position,
and we again looked upon the world.
Lulu was safe we were uninjured; our
wig and teeth were all right. But our
lady friends, alas. were changed. One
was covered with snow until she looked
Is white as a miller another was a pic
ture of Cardinal Woolsey; and the rest
were in state Of trepidation. We in
wardly uttered expletive adjectives, but
Brown assured US it was unintentiopal,
and We accepted his apology and was
again en- route for Virginia. But our joy
business was gone. Lulu was silent, and
our lady friends were disinchned to talk,
and 50 in sorrow ended our first sleigh
ride. SIGH is life /; and we concur. Adieu
Brown; farewell Lulu: goodbye every
body.
