President Cleveland on a Sled.

At Albany, on one Of the snow-slides
President Cleveland stood last Monday
night. He was muff1ed to the chin, but
appeared to be cold. The hill was
thronged with coasters. Beautiful AL
bany bellies were out in force, accom-
panied by their escorts. The snUw-path
was dotted with swift-rushing sleds
decked with lovely girls in gay attire.
Mr.. Cleveland was II passive spectator
of the animated scene for many mir utes.
Finally he turned to friend at his ell
bow and remarked that he wished he
were boy again. This sentiment WAS
schoed by his auditor, and was over
heard by a rosy-cheeked young lady
with sled, who had just clambered up
the steep ascent. She quickly whispered
to her big brother, and he tlmidly ap-
preached the great man. Confusedly
he ten Gered Mr.. Cleveland the use of
his sled, but the offer was politely &C.
clined. Clevcland's friend urged him
to accept the proffereG "bob," and he
heroically volunteered to pilot the
cranky craft. Mr.. Cleveland hesitated,
and murmured something about its not
being dignitied. But his companion
overruled his objections, and Mr.. Cleve-
land permitted himself to be led to the
brow of the hill. The next President
sat down with dull thump. The next
instant they were darting down the
slide like flash Of light. Tears came
In the eyes of the President-elect, and
he held his breath as the wind blew
through his moustache with a mournful
cadence. Jolly coasters caught only a
glimpse of him as the sled sped down
ward, but he did not escape recognition.
Young men clapped their hands and
painting beauties paused to raise hand
kerchiefs and comforters. 1t was tri-
umph by moonlight. At last the little
sled came to pause, and Mr.. Cleveland
and his pilot alighted. Their clothing
was hecked with snowy particles, and
their noses had been deftly touched by
frosty hands, but they die not care. Mr..
Cleveland had enjoyed bob-sled ride
for the first time in thirty years.

THE three Charlestown papers are
engaged in sort of triangular war
fare about the ability and wisdom with
which they are managed. From what
We can gather, the difficulty seems to
be that two of them have no reading
matter and all advertisements, and
one of them has no advertisements and
all reading matter, while none of them
have any news. The readers have
their choice between reading thrilling
advertisements or long-winded and
struggling editorials-and as one is
about as interesting as the other, they
are in a quandary. The way out of
it is to subscribe for the REGISTER and
get the news every week in a readable
shape and complete in detail, with
just enough miscellaneous reading to
make it interesting to everybody.
Subscribe for the REGISTER and be
happy.

The ClOister.

The cioister was really the living
place of the monks. Here they puI.
sued their daily avocations, here they
taught their schools, they transacted
their business, they speut their time and
pursued their studies, always in society,
cooperating and consulting, and, as
rule. knowing no privacy. "But monk
always lived in CELL" l think you
will be inclined TO object. The sooner
you get rid of that delusion the better.
Until Henry III. founded the Carthusian
Abbey OF William, in il73, there was no
such thing known in England as a
monks cell, as we understand the term.
1t was popularity of the Carthusian
order, and when it was first introduced
it was regarded as q startling novelty
for any privacy or anything approach
ing solitude to be tolerated in mon
astery. The Carthusian system never
found much favor in England. The
Carthusians never had more than nine
houses all told; the discipline was Zoo
rigid. the rule too severe, the lonehdess
too dreadful for our tastes and for bur
climate. In the thirteenth century, If /
mistake not, there were only two mon
asteries in England in which monks or
nuns could boast of having any privacy,
any little corner of Their own to turn
into, any place where they could en- ioy
the luxury of retirement, any private
study snchsas every boy nowadays. in a
school Of any pre-. ension, expects to
Lave provided for himself, and without
which we assume that nobody could
