The Wrong Passenger.

Rumor has it that a certain knight of
the quill from certain port (not sea-
port, however), last week being deter
mined to invest some loose change he
had in his pockets in Slelghride over
the Beautiful Snow we talk so much
about but see SO little of this winter,
called at certain house in the afore-
said locality, to invite a gentle cherub
of the family to share its pleasures
with him, in return for sundry pieces
of music she had favored him with on
other occasions. She was told he had
her consent, but it so happened that the
maiden had turned her thoughts from
Paradise some time ago, the wherefore
of which the gallant youth could not
understand. So. to give him another
gentle reminder that he was not wanted
there, she induced another young lady
to take her place in the proposed ride,
and when he brought his team to the
door, he took what he supposed was the
angel Of his heart and started of; but
he thought it was Elm barrassing all
the time that she did not talk until he
was some distance out of town, when,
to his astonishme he found he had
the wrong girl. We did not learn
whether he kept on to his original des-
tination or not, butt is safe to say he
returned a saGder If not wiser man.

much with them, but you are helpless
without them. They are the founda-

We wish the above were printed in

age which restricts the explosion of

How AND WHEN TO DRY Cows
It would seem as though there need be
no difference on the subject, when the
great trouble generally is with our
cows and our way Of feeding them, that
they viii dry up anyway for the greater
number, long before we really want
cows, and well kept, which continue to
give milk nearly the entire year. It is
better for these, however, to he dried
of carefully by drawing off all the
thick milk every three Or four days.
Not to do thia would be to endanger
the udder and perhaps cause the loss
Of the use Of one or more teats. The
time for doing it should be from q
month to six weeks before the cow
comes in.-Rxyal Press.
