The YOUNG WIDOW ON A SLEIGH
RIDE Some writer has said, that q
young and beautiful widow sis the
most loving and loveable crearure in
existence is much truth in
the remark, and, as Samivel Weller
intimates, they are at the same time
the most dangerous to the liberties
of bachelor-when they once take
a notion in that way. Is it not a
singular fact, that most of the great
est men the world has produced,
have been brought to the feet of the
widows.
The reading of the following
sketch has amused us, and no doubt
will many others, who will probably
say, ''it's so like 'em."
1t is summer now, but it was win
ter, clear, cold, and the snow was
packed. DIR. Meadows. was one of
asIeighing party, which he describes,
so far as he and the young widow
Lambkin were concerned, in the
words following
"The lively widow Lambkin sat
in the sleigh, under the same buffalo
robe with me-"
ooh oh! don't p she exclaimed,
as We came to the first bridge, at
the same time catching hold of my
arm, and turning her yelled face
towards me while her little eyes
twiukled thro' the moonlight.
Don't what p | asked, 81 am
not doing anything"
"Well, but | thought you were
a going to take TOLL" replied Mrs.
Lambkin.
"Toll," | rejoined; "what's that"
"Well | declare !" cried the
widow, her clear laugh ringing out
above the music of the bells, "you
pretend you don't know what toll isl"
Indeed | don't then" | said,
laughing; pray, explain, if you
please"
"You never heard then" said the
widow, most provoking ly, "you never
heard that when we are on sleigh
ride the gentlemen always, that is
sometimes, when they cross bridge,
claim kiss, and call it toll. But |
never pay it."
| said that / never heard Of it be-
fore; but when we came to the next
bridge | claimed the toll, and the
widows struggle to hold the veil
over her face was not enough to tear
it. At last the veil was removed,
her round, rosy face was turned di-
rectly towards mine and in the clear
light of a frosty moon the toll was
taken, for the first time in his life,
by DIR. Meadows. Soon we came to
a long bridge with several arches,
the widow said it was no use to re-
sist a man that would have his own
way, SO she paid the toll without
murmur.
"But you won't take toll for every
arch, will you, doctor?" the widow
said SO archly that ! did not fail to
exact all my dues, and that was the
beginning. But never mind the rest.
The Lambkin had the Meadows all
to herself in the spring
