Recently one of our towns most dashing
young men was riding with young lady
In the cemetery. Soon they came TO
small river over which was high bridge.
Just as they were starting across the horse
became frightened at the bridge. The
young man was very much excited, and
jumped from the buggy. He told the
young lady that 1t was dangerous for her
to stay In the buggy, while he led the
horse across the bridge. The young lady
was perfectly cool, and was apprehensive
of no danger. as she had seen horses
straighten their ears at such things before.
But the young man was 40 greatly excited
that he was forced to tell her as d last resort
that she must get out Of the buggy and
walk across the bridge. The young lady,
laughing, compiled with his request, and
the young man, with his distressing e1-
citement somewhat sppeased, cautiously
led the horse across the bridge. After he
had safely crossed, and the thoughts OF
danger were no longer agitating bis mind,
he thought of the absurdity of his actions,
and earnestly and pathetically said, don't
you tell any body when you got home"
