The men blanketed the poor horses
huddled them close together at tht
month of the cave, turned the sleigh boz
up before them as a partial shelter, then
bringing my trunk, lunch-basket and
the robes, joined us.
The temperature of the cave was COM
Portable compared with the upper air
and We were truly thankful for tn,
change. Vigorous and continued eXer-
ton soon restored our benumbed limbs
to their normal condition, and we set
tied down to a quiet discussion of the
situation, and the probabilities in our
| favor
After time the talk languishcd, and
Frank made, in whisper, the queerest
proposition. l gave a decided negative,
but at last yielding to his ent.eaty; and
almost before the rest realized what was
going on, We stood before the minister
with clasped hands, and he was speaking
the solemn word that bound us for bet
ter or worse for life.
1t was strange bridal. In that low,
dark cave, lighted only by the smoky
lantern, the terrible blizzard bowling
overhead, and death lurking near in the
fearful cold, which steadily increased.
Mother cried softly, and fathers voice
tremblAd as he gave me his blessing.
Frank face was very white as he clasped
me in his arms and called me wife. Ny
own feelings were a mixture of terror
and happiness, such as l hope never to
experience again.
We remained in our safe but gloomy
refuge forty eight hours. Then we were
dug out by my brothers and a party from
Bunker, who were in search of the min
lister, and had found us by the mounds
caused by the snow drifting over the
poor horses. Two were dead, and the
other had to be killed he was so badly
frozen.
Huddled together under the ground,
with fifteen inches of snow over us, we
had not suffered so badly, and the lunch
basket filled by mother for Frank and
| on our journey had sufficed to keep us
from actually suffering from hunger.
Perhaps some who know of these cir
cumstances may read this and vouch for
its truth.

A DISPATCH from Newark announces
the ninth annual convention of County
Recorders of Ohio, and that the subject
of chattel mortgages was discussed. The
Recorder of Belmont county, we believe,
is Secretary of the convention.
What is the necessity for conventions
of county officers? Are MT they satisfied
with their fees? If not, why not avail
themselves of the remedy suggested by
the late Judge Cowen? resign. And then,
what occasion is there for the able gen.
tlemen discussing chattel mortgages? -
Is not the matter of fees their chief con-
cern? Do they think they can improve
the laws in any other respect?

THE LYRE OF ANACREON.

The minstrel of the classic lay
Of love and wine who sings
Still found the fingers run aStray
That touched the rebel strings.
OF Cadmus he would fain have sung.
OF AtreuS and his line;
But all the jOcund echoes rung
With SONGS of love and wine.
All, brothers. I would fain have caught
Some freSher f.incy'S CLEAN:
Siy truant accents find, unSOught,
The old familiar theme.
Love, LOvel but not the SpOrtive child
With shaft and twanging bow,
Whose random arrows drove us wild
Some threeScOre years ago.
Not Eros, with his joyous laugh,
The urchin blind and bare,
But Love, with SpectacleS and staff,
And scaHty, silyered hair.
Our heads with frosted locks are white,
Our roofs are matched with snow,
But red, in chilling winters spite,
Our hearts and hearthS.OneS glow.
Our Old acquaintance, Time, drops in,
and while the running sands
Their golden thread unheeded spin,
He warns his frozen hands.
Stay, winged hours, too swift, to sweet,
ANA waft this message DER
To all We miss, from all we meet
On LIES faSt-crumbling shore:
Say that, to old affection true.
We hug the narrowing chain
That binds our hearts-alaS, how few
The links that yet remain.
The fatal touch awaits them all
That turns the rocks TO dust;
From year to year they break and fall
They break, but never rust.
Say if one note OF happier strain
This worn out harp afford
One thrOb that trembleS, not in vain,
Their memory lent its chord.
Say that when Fancy closed her wings
And Passion qIenched his fire,
Love, Love still echoed from the strings
As from AnacreOn'S Tyre!
-Olir,F Wendell Holmes.
