A Model Composition.

We commend the following model
to boys and girls who are obliged to
write compositions and don't know
how to 60 to work:
WINTER. Winter is the coolest
season of the year, because it comes
in the winter mostly. In some coun-
tries winter comes in the summer and
then it is very pleasant wish win
ter came in summer in this country,
which is the best Government that the
sun ever shone upon. Then we could
go skating barefoot and slide down
hill in linen trowsers. We could snow
ball without our fingers getting cold
and men who go out sleigh-riding
wouldn't have to stop at every tavern,
to warm, as they do now. 1t SHOWS
more in the winter than it does at any
other season of the year. This is be.
cause so many cutters and sleighs are
made then. ,..
Ice grows much better in winter
than in summer, which was an incon-
venience before the discovery of ice
houses. Water that is left out of doors
is apt to freeze at this season. Some
folks take in their wells and cisterns
on cold night and keep them by
the fire, so they don't freeze.
Skating is great fun in the winter
The boys get their skates on when the
river is frozen over and race, play tag
break through the ice and get wet all
over (they get drownded sometimes
and are brought home aR dripping
which makes their mothers scold, get
ting water all over the carpet in the
front room), fall and break their heads
and enjoy themselves in many othel
ways. A wicked boy once stole my
skates and ran off with them, and
couldn't catch him. Mother said
''never mind, judgment will overtakC
him."
Well, if judgment does, judgment
will have to be pretty lively on his legs
for that boy runs bully.
There amt much sleigh riding ex.
cept in the winter. Folks don't seen
to care about it in warm weather
Grown-up boys and girls like to gosleigl
riding. The boys generally drive witt
one hand and help the girls hold thei
mufEs with the other. Brown Bob le
me, go along a little way once whel
he took Celia Ann Crane out sleigh ri
ding, and ] thought he paid more at
tention to holding the muff than h
did to holding the horses.
Snow balling is another winter sport
[ have snow-balled in the summer
but we used stones and hard apples
1t isn't SO amusing as it is in the win
ter somehow. -.#

Brides.

Some writer, who has evidently
been "there, or thereabouts," thus de-
scants upon bridesmaids:
Next to being a bride herself, every
young lady likes to be bridesmaid.
Wedlock is thought by large proper
tion of the blooming sex to be conta-
gious, and much to the credit of their
courage, fair spinsters are not at all
afraid Of catching it. So far as official
conduct is concerned, when you have
seen one bridesmaid you have seen the
whole fascinating tribe. Their leading
duty seems to be to treat the bride as a
"victim led with garlands to the sacri-
flce." They consider it necessary to ex-
hort her to "cheer up" Her fair as
sistants provide themselves with pun
gent essences lest she should faint OF
the "trying moment" which, between
you and me, she has no more idea Of
doing than she has ofdying. 1t is true
she sometimes tells them she feels "likC
she should sink into the EARTH "a and
they respond "poor dear!" and apply
the smelling-bottle; but she neverthe
less goes through her nuptial martyr
dom with great fortitude. In ninC
cases out of ten the bridegroom is NOR
clustered" than the fragile and lovely
creature at his side; but nobody think
of plying him, poor fellow! If on
of the groomsmen does recommenC
him to take glass of wine before th'
ceremony, to "steady his nerves." th'
advice is given superciliously, as whC
should say, "what a spoony you are
old fellow!" Bridesmaids may be con
sidered as brides in what lawyers cal
the "inchoate'' or incipient state
They are looking forward to the da.
of triumphant weakness when it shal
be their turn to be "poor dear creatures

Mr.. EDITOR: Since writing to you last,
was much surprised, while in conversa-
tion with our deservedly popular Station
Minister, after attending on his ministry
two or three months, on finding him to be
a former citizen of your town, and an at
tache of your office. Many of your clti-
zens will be glad to hear of VIM. Jesse
Grant, as a successful Methodist preacher,
having been in the ministry eight years.
You may expect to hear from him.
Among the first of your citizens whom no
mentioned was his former S. s. Teache',
Mrs. DR.. Sans. and his preceptor in tho
Academy, Prof. I. Sans.
In stature he is a small man, and looks
like youth of twenty, but works and
breaches like a man. Rev. J. D. Crum Is
also in this Conference, but l have not
seen him. Yours, j. T. a.

UNDER THE BED.-Most of the un-
married ladies enjoy a pleasant delu-
sion. They seem to think that men
have mania for getting under beds
And accordingly few ofthem retire for
the night without first, going through
the ceremony of looking there. We
have never known of but one instance
in which the search was rewarded by
success. The discovery was announced
by little scream of delight, and the
lucky lady was congratulated by hel
companion with the remark: "Well
Jane, 1 am glad you have found him
for to my certain knowledge, you have
been looking for him for the last TWEEN
ty years." 1t is little singular that
men never look under beds to see Il
they can find q woman there.

Natures IsarOmcters.

A venerable gentleman with whom
we recently conversed, assured us that
spiders were the best barometers yet
produced. The barometer invented by
the scientific, he affirmed, only indi-
Gated the kind of weather we are to
have Immediately, while spiders uner-
ringly told the character of the weather
for several days in advance. For in
stance, if the weather is likely to be-
come rainy, windy, or in other respects
disagreeable, the spiders make very
short and firm the terminating fla
aments on which their webs are sus-
pended. If, on the contrary, they make
the terminating filaments or fastenings
uncommonly long, the weather will
cOtinue serene from 10 to a dozen days.
Spiders usually make alterations in
their webs once in "a hours. If they
are totally indolent, and do not even
watch for flies, rain will speedily ensue.
If the spiders stay out upon their nets
during shower, and seem actively
engaged in putting affairs in good con-
dition, it is certain proof that the rain
will be of short duration, and that it
will be clear weather for some time. If,
during the stormy weather, the spiders
are seen fixing their damaged nets in
the evening, it certainly indicates that
the night will be pleasant, and that the
rain is over for the present. Our infor-
mant has often witnessed this result
when the sky looked most threatening,
and he has never known the sign tt
fail.

News from Mexico indicates the con-

Imperialists were expelled from al
most all Northern Mexico, their last
force in Durango having been defeated.
Great preparations were being made
by the Republicans for an attack on
San Luis Potosi. Max. was still at
Orizaba, and is said to have abdicated
in favor of triumvirate, and appealed
to the people to sustain the latter.

The spiders of the Sandwich Islands are
not venomous, and the housewives there
''look upon these insects as domestic fa-

on flies, mosquitoes, and small insects OF
various kinds, reducing their numbers at
