A Cold Winter Years AGO.

THE winter of 1741 was famous
throughout New England as much colder
than any which preceded it. Probably
no year since could furnish testimony
for cold either so intense or protracted
The snow, which covered the whole
country as early as the 18th of Novem-
Der, was still found the next April cover
ing the fences. The Boston Post Boy for
Jan. IL reports a tent on the Charles
River for the entertainment of travellers.
The Boston NeaoS Letter for March tells
rs that the people ride every day from
tratford, Conn, to Long Island, which
=. three leagues" Even as far east as
New London we are told that the " ice
extended into the sound as far as could
be seen from the town." and " that Fish
er's Island was united to the mainland
by a solid bed" On March % the Bos-
ton Neoos Letter reports that the people
living on Thompson's Island had crossed
over to Dorchester to church on the ice
for the fifteen preceding Sundays.
AS late as the 9th of July letter from
New LONDON, conn, reports on the east
side of the Connecticut River body of
ice as large as two carts can draw, clear
and solid, and adds very artlessly that
" it might lay there month longer were
it not that so manyresort out of curiosity
to drink punch made out of it." On the
18th of July snow was still lying in a
mass in the town of Ipswich, Mass
nearly four feet thick.
But the most marvellous record of that
season is the statement made by Alonzo
Lewis, author of the Annals of Lynn,
Mass" that Francis Lewis, the signer Of
the Declaration of independence, drove
his horse from New York to Barnstable,
the whole length of Long Island Sound,
on the ice. "-Nelo H00en Palladium

up the strain; two voices strangely IA
miliar to Jack, standing there in the
shadow of the lindens, whose tones gave
him d great thrill Of enlightenment, as
Titania and Starveling, tired of dance
and mask, paced up and down the sweet,
secluded tryst and opened their hearts.
Emilia" Starveling was saying,
whom Jack had recognized earlier as the
handsome cousin of his fazscee, are you
still bent on feeding your pride and
starving your heart? Isn't love better
than noble birth, older than the oldest
families?"
q don't know" answered Emilia,
lightly. eve know what love is like,
you and I, Franz; but the trouble is, we
can't climb this family tree of ours far
Without coming upon hornets nest.
If our great-grandfather had traded in
the Indies and lost every cent, instead of
sitting on his bench and pegging shoes
and laying by treasure, why, in that case,
my dear Franz, should prefer you to all
the Jack Cheseldens that ever breathed."
Your pride is yet no mate for mine,
Too proud TO care from whence came"
quoted the love-sick youth as they
passed on through the treacherous shad-
oWs. The hand that Jack was about to
relnquish was pressed closer as the tune
full voices died away in whispers; the
farewell he had been about to utter
tainted on his lips; there was no reason
under heaven why he should marry
Emilia, since she did not love him. He
drew Dawn toward his heart: the adagio

them as if blown from some other world.

Marriage Under Difficulties.

NEAR the town of Castres, in France,
dwells noble family called Gayraud
d'Aurilhon. The eldest son of the house
lately fell in love with young lady of
Castres whose birth was far from the
caste of We're de We're. Nine. de Gay
raud d'Aurilhon forbade the marriage,
and the Marquis, being bat twentyIhree
years old, could not legally contract it.
After vainly trying to shake his mothers
resolution he betook himself to Castres,
from whence he sent q letter calling the
Marchioness thither upon business.
Without suspicion she set out. Her son,
meanwhile, lay hiding near with his aft
anced, who defed SANDER under the
guardianship of grocer's lady. AS
soon as the ancestral carriage had disap-
peared, quite early in the morning, the
Marquis and four friends, with the ladies,
made their appearance in the village
chapel, where the cure was just beginning
mass. Safely entered, Mademoiselle
threw off her cloak and showed the
bridal dress. orange flowers, veil, and all.
The Marquis also displayed the tradi-
tional tail coat and white cravat. Very
considerably astonished the priest went
through his service, at the end of which
the pair knelt suddenly before him,
and III. Henri d'Aurnhon eXcla lined,
very loudly: q declare Mdlle.

lawful husband" The priest thereupon

OLD TIMES.

THERE'S beautiful song on the slumberous
air
That drifts through the valley g dreams;
1t comes from a cline where the roses were,
And tuneful heart, and bright brown hair
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft ewes OF azure, and eyes of brown,
And snow-white foreheads are there;
A gIimmering cross and glittering crown,
A thorny bed and couch of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets of prayer.
A rosy leaf in dImpled hand,
a ring and plighted VOW;
Three golden rings on broken band,
tiny track on the snow-white sand,
A tear and sinless brow.
There's tincture of grief in the beautiful
song
That sobs on the summer air,
And loneliness felt in the festive throng
Sinks down in the soul as it trembles along
From a cline where the roses are.
Ne heard it first at the dawn of the day,
And it mingles with matin chimes;
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody floweth far away,
And we call It now cola Times"
--TtnSleyPs Udgozjne.

the vestry, the eccentric young peopl
summoned him to give a certificate,
which he had of course refused. The
wedding party then proceeded to the
chateau, where M. d'AuIilhon assembled
his mothers servants and presented his
wife to them. 4 great feast was ordered,
to provide which they had to break open
all the drawers, cupboards and plate
chests, since the Warehouses had car
ried Oft her keys. That lady, warned by
an old servant, hastily came back, tax
ing up on her way the village policeman.
At sight of him the wedding guests dis
persed suddenly; bride and bridegroom
also made themselves scarce. But they
persisted in the validity of Sheir mar
riage, and a few days after nj. Henri ex-
pressed his intention of coming home
Thereupen the mother appealed to the
magistrates of Toulouse. After one de-
cision against her they decided that the
young Marquis d'Aurilhon had no right
to bring bride against his mothers will
into q house where his sisters lived; and
they further pronounced indirectly that
Mile Blanche Bouscaut was not married
at all 4.

Take Care of the Tools.

THE tools employed upon the farm are
costly and should receive the same care
which is bestowed on other valuable
property. There is manifested by many
farmers a kind of chronic neglect in
respect to the care of the implements of
husbandry. Complicated machines like
those used for moving, raking, thresh
ing, ETC., with their iron wheels, levers
and cams, are allowed to rust and decay,
so that in a couple of seasons they are
worthless. This neglect is inexcusable,
objectionable Some farmers become
torpid, frozen up, in the winter, and APP
pear to have no active blood in their
veins They viii not take up rake or a
neglected hoe ia winter and put it under
cover. We have seen ladders, forks,
harrows, shovels, etc, peeping out from
under the snow in winter, in time of
thaw, and have asked why they were not
cared for. Sometimes the reply has
been, We will attend to it tomorrow"
but that tomorrow never came. There
must be a society organized for Hpro-
tectlng farming tools" and the officers
must have full power to forcibly seize
and put away all neglected implements,
no matter upon whose premises they are
found-Joanna1 Of Chemistry.

Ante Railroad Days.

Two CENTURIES ago there did not exist
In all England a single navigable canal,
not an inch of railway Gas we understand
the term), not public conveyance that
would bear. comparison with the most
numbering farm-wagon that can now be
found on the prairies beyond the Missis-
sippi, and not a mile of road which the
traveller of to-day would not consider as
impossible. By the public highways
both travellers and goods passed from
place to place, and those highways appear
to have been far worse than the most
ruinous roads that can now be found out
side of the sheep-walks of Australia or
the jungles of South Africa Thorsby
has left us accounts of journeys made
with guide along roads that led "over
most prodigious high hills "steeper
than the roofs of many houses" or rides
"along the edges of precipices that
grew to that height and steepness, and
withal so exceeding narrow, that we had
not an inch of ground to set foot upon
to alight from our horses" and of tramps
over highways full of ice and snow,
rougher than plowed field, yet hard as
iron" Hagbush lane, the principal bri
dle-path from London to the North of
England, was worn so deep that the
riders head was beneath the level of the
ground on either side, and so narrow as
barely to afford passage for single
horseman. Indeed, in many parts, being
once in it, to turn back became utterly
impossible, such was its extreme
narrownessl Nor does this seem to be
the exception rather than the rule
Many other bits of road were almost, if
not quite, as bad Even on roads which
the Englishmen of that day were accus-
toned to regard as the best the ruts were
deep, the descents precipitous, and the
mud often lay so thick that all communi-
cation was cut off for months a. 6 time
between towns separated by scarcely
score of miles. Over such roads as
these, as may we'll be supposed, the only
practicable method of travelling was on
| foot or on horse. The rich rode; the
| poor walked. To add to the discom-
forts of the situation highway robbery
was an admitted and apparently IRENE
dial evil, as mounted highwaymen were
to be found on every main road. And
| yet, with all the obstinacy Of his nature,
John Bull for long time opposed the
introduction of a stage-coach, saying
among other things that such an innoya-
ton would be ruinous to trade, as sad
dlers and spurriers would be ruined by
hundreds; that people who rode on
| horseback wore out more clothing than
those who kept themselves clean and
neat IN coaches "and were forced To
have new very often, and that increased
the consumption of the manufactures
and the employment of the manufactur-
ers, which travelling in coaches doth no
way do" Such were the cogent reasons
for (which our worthy forefathers de-
manded that the stage-coach should be
"put down." How it ultimately tri-
umped over ali opposition and became,
with it's rosy, gilded coachman, face
tious guard, it's upsets and breakdowns,
It's "outsides" and "insides," peculiar
ly English institution, is familiar to all
readers of English novels for the three
gener-.iGns back.-The Proof Sheet.

A Wedding q Spark"

a NEW YORK correspondent of the
Boston Transcript writes: "The story of
Miss Ward, who was on the eve Of her
marriage, is most remarkable. 1t was
but half an hour before the ceremony,
and many Of the guests had assembled.
She had beautiful and rich white satin
wedding dress made, covered with cost
" lace. A servant was intrusted to hang
it in closet opening from her 6OudO5r,
The closet door was closed, and the
bride commenced her toilet for the
wedding. Everything had been COM
pleted, and nothing remained to be done
save the putting on Of the wedding
dress. The closet-door was opened,
when 10! the beautiful dress had turned
to dust and ashes! A careless spark ha
somehow fallen INTO the lace and con
sumed the costume Other things in the
closet were found to be on fire and had
to be thrown out of window to save
the house. The poor brideto-be was
heartbroken What could be done?
Finally some one remembered that a sis
ter of Miss Ward had been married two
years before and that she had not cut up
her wedding-dress This was hurriedly
brought from its hiding-place and the
poor bride was married in her sisters
