around on the hearth as of yore.
I have been out in the wind and
cold five hours-fve short hours
sleigh-riding. The flecks on the
let black coat of my horse, the
long, frosted whiskers he sported,
the creaking of the snow, the de-
serted look of farm houses we
passed, the haste with which kind
hands opened the door on return
ing, tell me 1t is cold without; but
I did not feel it. Two of us were
out riding. A fast horse, warm
plank for the feet, warm robes,
merry bells, warm hearts, hand
some cutter and smooth road never
vet froze man in five hours, nor
do I believe they ever will.
We went out into the country
by the old church, the little school
house, the old cider-mill. the post
Office and the country store, the
smithy's shop, and into the broad
yard where often we have driven
out and in. Fifteen years since
we rode out from the wide.opening
gate, and, if you like, I will tell
you of that ride.
It was clear, moonlight night
clear and cold. There was a
party of us. We had no bells
other than the rustic bellies, whose
beauty has never been surpassed.
We had no superabundance OF
wolf-skin robes-we had no light
running cutter or extra-fast horse,
as today; but we had six warm
hearts. Oh! it was fun-slelgh-
riding in those days! A. long
sleigh-box on two hobs, straw
enough to make the hearts of half
a-dozen poor families glad-and
down in there we alt They
were boys and girls years since
now they are young men and young
ladies. How costly we nestled to-
gether in that old sleigh! How
costly each boys arm encircled
one. How the heart shot out it's
feelers to clasp itself around and
protect that one-loved more than
others. How the heart warns, ex-
pands and rises into the throat
now as that old picture is called
up! Away we went! Some one
said as we started, BE careful,
boys, and don't upset." but little
heed was paid to the caution.
How cold the night was years
since! Perhaps you Remember it
it seems as if you must remember.
Nestled together in that good old
sleigh, how we glided over the
beaten track. and how our. hearts
glided into another beaten track!
Then, when the cheeks of those
we loved grew cold, we used to
warm them-no matter how.
Then, years since, lest others
would hear the kindly spoken
thanks, we took them from the
lips of the speaker, and closer
drew the loved form. 1t was cold,
but we felt it not! On by the
same houses as today we sped, and
on sped our hearts, linking each to
the other. How we laughed as a
sudden jolt would throw us all
together! How we laughed as the
foot balls came pelting our faces,
drew the hoods together, and looked
in to see if any one was hurt! 1t
was years ago that sleigh rides
were worth taking, but that day
has gone by. Then the snow was
deeper-the roads smoother-the

A Gopp PRoJEcT.

Murky, foggy old London is speaking of an innovation in the way of street cars that may or may not be prac- ticable. The proposition is that women. especially those of the work ing classes, shall have cars exclusive ly for their own use during certain busy hours of the day. We also see 1t stated that the experiment may be tried in New York, and it would doubt. less be q good thing. Those, says The Kansas City Journal. "who have watched the thFongs of men and women in the eongested- districts of lower New York during the rush hours of the early evening, fighting for standing room on cars of the various lines. including ferries and bridge cars, have been struck by the brutality of the average New York man In dealing with women. He has grown singular ly callous to all claims upon his gall lantry by woman-kind, and his weak CT competitor Tor car space IS generally crushed and battered beneath his self ish onslaught. If women were given cars for their exclusive use in the busy morning and evening hours, it would be a measure of protection to their safety and comfort that is their just due in the light of the growing disre- gard of men for the weaker sex"
 This statement of the case doesn't make a very favorable showing for the male contingent of Gothsm's popu- lation, though we have heard 1t be- fore. and 1t gives us a very poor opinion of New York's manhood Men who will so conduct themselves should not be suffered to ride among better people. Is 1t right sure that th' proposed plan would be effectual' Men who win fight and crowd womer

I have all along thought that the power that pro- pels the automobile could. with much less expense. be applied to propelIing the piow. Your, fellow .townsman, MT. Caldwell. Is on the right track. The cumbersome steam blows of the West are impracticabie for general use. expect In few years to see light. simply-made gasoiine blows in use all over our country.

Gasoline blows break ing ten or fifteen acres of land q day. and with adjustable blows for all sorts of cuitiyaticn; csnnot long be delayed. am confident that the two great wants of this country are. reasonable tartff. or tarin reform, and a practical gasoline blow. If anything will ever bring the tcwnrman to the country, CT keep the young country man on his farm. 1t will be improved agricultural instruments: 4 light gasoline machine. with q comfortable seat for the driver, could be made to do the work of a doz- en men, and thus solve the farmers greatest trouble.
