Old Boreas said to himself, "I'll wake
them up" And he did. He inflated his
cheeks to their utmost capacity, and just
as the'pleasure seelRrs were crossing the
common near the Congregational church,
he blew great gust of wind that struck
them square amidships, changing their
course and driving them swiftly before the
gale half a mile southwark, where their lit
tie craft struck the rocks and capsized in
the twinkling of an eye.
The horse freed himself instantly from
the wreck, reversed his position and was
homeward bound before the young couple
were fairly out of the snowdrift. Rude as
he was, Old Boreas had compassion for
them, blew the snow from their garments
and wished them happy New Year. The
young man found another captain to take
his lady friend to her wished-for port,
while he returned to the one from which
they sailed.

DUMMERSTON,
Old BOreas Causes "a Shipwreck In Dunn
merstOn.

On Friday, December 81, during. the
closing hours of the year 1897, the flakes
of snow were falling fast and making
beautiful winter scene which gladdened
the hearts of many who have waited long
TO have the snow come deep enough for
business purposes as well as for pleasure.
Among the number seeking pleasure in
Dummerston was Old Boreas, who is some
what noted as a sportsman. He decided
to watch the old year out and the new year
in, and for that purpose took position on
Prospect hill as a high watch tower from
which to make his observation. He was
wholly absorbed for time in watching the
descending snow flakes and nearly missed
seeing the old year depart.
When it was gone and the new year
was ushered in, he concluded not to leave
his station until he had sported awhile with
the snow, which had fallen to a depth of
nearly ten inches. He had much fun I'm
blowing from the trees their embelish-
ment of snow. He then tried his skill in
blowing the fallen snow high into the air
and driving il from the hills into the val
leys. He succeeded admirably in this I'M
dertaking and was about concluding his
frOlic when he espied young couple com
ing from the New Year dance at Putney,
where youth and pleasure met "To chase
the glowing hours with flying feet" They
were winding their way up over the hills
in the direction of West Dummerston.
The reins were slack and the trusted horse
plodded slowly along the untrodden snow,
