Bashful Bill's Terrible Ride,
"Wife," said Ed. Wilbur one
morning as he sat stirring his coffee
with one hand and holding a plum
cake on his knee with the other,
and looking aero the table into
.e It a ee o his the bright f 1. !;flit wife,
1 y r ,
g
"wouldn't it be a good joke to get
bachelor Bili Smiley to take widow
Watson to the Clinton races,?
"You can't do it., Ed, ; he won't
• ask her, he's so awful shy. Why,
he cane by here the other positing
when I was hanging out the clothes,
and he looked over the fence and
spoke, but when I a'Iook out t.
night gown he blusltell like a girl
and went away,"
"1 think I aan n:tfnage it," said
Ed. ; "but I'll have to lie just a
little. But, thee, it wouldn't be
much harem uutler the circumstan-
oes, for I know she likes him, and
he don't dislike her, but just as
you say, he's so shy. 1'11 ,last go
over to his place to borrow some
bags of him, and if I don't Lam hire
before I come back don't kiss me
for a week Nelly."
So saying Ed. started, and while
he is stowing the Gelds we will
take a look at Billy Smiley. He
was rather a good looking fellow,
though his hair and whiskers show.
ed some gray hairs, and he had • got
in a set of false teeth. But every
one said lie was a good soul, and so
he was. He had as good a bund•
real -acre farts as any in Stanley
%vitt' a new house punt everything
comfortable, met if ho wanted a
Wife, many a gill would have•juutp-
ed at the donee like a rooster
on a grasshopper. But, Bill was
no bashful—always was—end when
Span Sberrybottle, whom he was
so sweet on, though he never said
-"boo" to her, got married to old
Watson, lie just drew in his head
like a uhud.turte into his shell, and
there was no getting hint out again,
though is had been noticed that
since Susan had become a widow,
lie paid more attention to his
clothes, and ihad been very regular
in his attendance at the church the
fair widow attended.
'But here routes E 1. Wilber.
"Good morning, Mr. Shiley."
•"(,lord morlwg, \Ir. Wilber ;
what's news your way?"
"Oh, nothing particular that, I
know of," said Ed., "uuly the Clin-
ton races that 'everyloby aid his
girl are gong to. I was over to
old Sockrider's last night, and I
see Gus has got a new buggy, and
was scrubbing up his harness, and
he's got that white•faced colt of his
as slick as a seal, , 1 understand he
thinks of taking willow Watson to
the races. He's been hanging
around there a good deal of late,
but; I'd just like to cut- him out, I
would. Susan is a nice little wo-
man, and deserves a better elan
thaw that young' pup. of a-_ fellow,'
. though I would not binlne her if
she takes hint, for :she must be
dreadfully lonesome, and theft she
has to let her farm out owl shares,
and it; isn't half worker!, and no
one else seems"to have the, aputtk to
speak up to her. By jingo ! if I were
a ,single roan I'd show you a
trick or two."
So saying, Ed. borrowed some
hags and started arouuttd the corn•
er of the barn, where he had left
Bill sweeping, alai put his ear to a
knot -hole and listened, knowing the
bachelor had a habit of talking 'to
himself when anything worired hint.
"Confound that young bagrider!"
saitl Bill, ',what business has he
there, I'd like to know ? Got a
new buggy has lie? Well, HO have
1, and a new harness, too; and his
horse can't get sight of mitre ; and
I decltlrr I've half a' mind to—yes,
I will ! 1'11 go this very night and
ask her to go to t.le races with ate.
Lill show Ed. Wilber that ]r ain't
such a calf as he thinks I and if I
did let. old Watson get the start of
the in the fir -t place !"
Ed. could scarce help laughing
out.riglt, but he finally hitched the
•ba ;s on his shoulder, and with a
a low chuckle at his success, started
home to tell the news to Nellie;
and art -about 5 o'clock that evening
they saw bill go by with his house
end buggy, on his way to the
widow's. He jogged along quietly
thinking of the old singing.school
days—and what a pretty girl Susan
was then, and wondering inwardly
if the would have more courage to
talk up to her—until, at a distance
of about a mile from her house, he
carte to a bridge, he gave a tre-
mendous sneeze that blew his teeth
out of his mouth, and clear over the
dashboard, and striking ph the
planks, they rolled over the side of
the bridge, and dropped into four
feet of water.
Words cannot do justice to poor
Bill, to paint the expression of his
face as he Fat there—completely
dumbfounded at his startll'ng piece
of ill luck. After a while he atop -
ped nut of his buggy, and getting
down on his hands and knees, look-
ed over into the wetC.r. Yea, there
they were, to the. batten, with ea
crowd of little fishes rubbing their
noses against theta, and Bill wished
to goudneaa that his nose was as
eluse for one second. His beautiful
teeth that had cost hitt so much,
and the races coming ot., ,1u01 ao
time to get another set—and the
Miaow and souig Suckrider. Well,
he must try and get them some-
how—and no time to be lost, foi'
some one might come along and ask
him what he was fooling around
there for. He had no notion of
spoiling; his clothes by wading in
with theta oil, and leeide, if he did
he could not go to the widow's that
eight, so be took a look up and
down 1 he road to see that no one
was in sight, and tbeu quickly un-
dressed himself, laying his clothes
hi the buggy to keep them clean.
Then he ran around the bank and
waded into the almost icy cold
water, but his teeth did not chatter
in his head—rte only wished they
could. Quickly he waded along SO
as not to stir the mud up, and when
he got to the right spot he dropped
under the nater, and came out
his teeth in his hand, and replaced
them iu his mouth. But hark !
what noise is that 1 A wagon and
a dog barking with all its might,
and lis horse is starting. "Whoa
whoa ! Stop, you brute you, stop !"
But stop he would not,- but went orf
at at spanking pace, with the unfor-
tunate bachelor after hien. Bill was
certainly in capital running costume,
but, though he strained every nerve,
he could not touch the dui gy or
react the lines that were. druggitig
ou the ground.
After a white his plug hat sho k
cif the seat, land the hind wheel
went over it, making it as flat as a
pancake. fi Il stretched it us he
ran, and, after lamming his fist into
it, stuck it, :all ,dirty ttil l rutuple 1
on his lead. And tow he saw the
widow's house on top of the hill,and,
what, oh, what will he do 1 Then
his coat fel! out and he slipgred it
on, and then slaking a very desper-
ate spurt he clutched the Lack of his
seat and scrambled in, anal pulling
the buffalo robe over his legs; stuffed
the otter beneath. Now the horse
happtou d to bo one he got of "Squire
;Moore, and he got it frolr) the
widow, and be took it into his
lend to stop at ler gate, which Bill
had no power tao'prevent• as he was
too busy butt -Soling his coat up to
his chin le think of doing nhtchelse.
The willow heard the rattling of
the wheels, and looked (int awl see-
ing that it %vas -Smiley, rued that he
didn't offer to get out, she went 10
see what lie wanted, and there site
:stood chatty ril)g with her white,
arms on tie top of ler gate, and
lar face toward him while the chills,
ran clown bis; shirtless back clear
to his bare feet beneath •the buf-
falo robe, and the water from lis
head and the dust from his feet
Nod combined to make some nice
little streains of mud that came
trickling dowu his face.
She asked him to come in. No, -
he was in . a hurry, he said. Stf11
ho did not otl'er to go, - Ho did not
like to ask her to pick up his reins
for him because he did not know
what excu o-t'o 'make for nit doing
it himself. Then he looked down
the roach behind him and saw a
white-faced horse corning, and at
once surmised it was thattIncesGus
Sockrider. Ho resolved to do or
die, and hurriedly told his errand.
The widow would be delighted to
go, of Bourse -she worild. Ent
wouldn't he coins in. No, he was
in a hurry, le said ; I -[o had go
on to Green's place. ,
"Oh," said the willow, "you're
going to Green's, aro you? Why,
I'm going there my If to get one
of the girls to help 1 quilt to-
morrow. Just wait a -' '•ond while
I get my bonnet and sh ,w1, and I'll
ride with you." And away she
skipped.
"Thunder and lightning !" said
Bill,' "what a scrape !„ and he,
hastily clutched his pants from be-
tween his feet, and was preparing
to wiggle into theta, when a light
wagon drawn by a white-faced
horse, driven by a boy, who held
up a pair of boots in ono hand and
a pair of socks in the other, and
just as the widow reached the gate
again, he said :
"Here's your boots and socks,
Mr. Smiley, that you left on the
bridge when, you were in swim-
ming.
"You're mistaken," said Bill,
"They ere not mina"
"Why," Haid the boy, "ain't
you •• the young than that had
the race after the horse just now 1"
"No, sir, I .ani not ! You had
better go on about your business."
Bill sighed at the loss of his Sanday
boots, and, turning to the widow'
said
"Just pick up the lines, will you,
please ;, this brute of a horse is
always switching them out of my
!lands." The widow complied,then
he pulled ono corner of the robe
cautiously down as she got in.
"What a lovely evening, said she,
" and so warns I don't think we
wan't the robe over tis, do wo?"
(You see she had on a nice now
dress and a pair of now gaiters, and
site wanted to show them )
"Oh, lay !" said hill, earnestly,
"you'll find it chilly riding, and 1
ou
orldld'llt have you catch cold for the
ww."
She seemed pleased at this tend-
er care for her health, and content-
ed herself with sticking one of her
little feet ottt with a long silk ueck-
tie over the cud of it.
"What is that, Mr. Smiley, a
necktie 1
"Yes," said he, "I bought it the
other day and I roust have loft it in
the buggy. Neyer Mind it."
'Batt,' said she, 'it was careless ;
and, stooping over, she picked it up
and made a ►notion to stuff it in be-
tweeen thein.
Bill felt her hand going down,
and making a.tlivo after it, clutched
it in his laud held it hard tend fast.
Thou they went ou quite a dis-
tance, he still her hand iu his and
wondering what he should do when
he got to Ureeu'a and she woudore 1
why he slid nut say something nice
to her as well as squeeze her hand,
why his cunt \vas buttoned up so
tightly on such a warn). tV011iug,and
what !natio his faeo and lett so dirty,
until they tete going down a 1till
and one of the traces came un•-
hitclhed and they had to stop.
'Oh, 'murder: exclaimed Bill,
"'what next 1"
"What is the matter, Mr. Smiley?'
said the widow, with a start which
came near jerking the robe off •iris
k nees.
"One ol'the truces is off," 3118 Win-
ed lie.
"Well, why don't you get out and
put it on 1,1
"I can't," said hill ; "I've gut—
that is, I haven't got—oil, Clear, I'm
so sick ! What shall [ do?"
"Why, Willie," said she toullelly,
'su•ltat is the matter?' do tell lou."
She gave his hand a little squeeze,
and looked into his pale face; she
tht3ught he was guiug to f;tiut, so
site got out her S11Utllltlg bottle \vith
her left haute, and pulling the stop-
per out with her teeth, she stuck it
to his nose.
Bill was just taking in breath for
a mighty sigh, and the pungent odor
made him throw back his head so
far that he lost his balance and went
over the low back buggy. '.l'ime little
wotnail gave a law scream as his bare
feet flew past her head ; and cover-
ing her face with her hands gave
way to tears ur smiles—it is hard to
.ell which. Bill was "rigiht sidle
tip," in a moment, and leaning over
the seat humbly apologising and ex-
plaining, \darn rd. Wilbur and his
wife and baby ;drove up behiud and
stopped. Poor Bill felt that he
would rather • have bceu shut than
had Ed. Wilbur catch him in such a
scrape, but there was nu help for it
110Ws so he called Ed. to -hits and
whispered in his ear. 1:d. was like
to burst with suppressed la ohtolr
but lie beckoned to his wife to draw
up, aud, after saying something
to her, he helped the widow
out of Bill's buggy and into
his, and the two 'wUrhlen went 011,
leaving the men behind. Bill lost
no time in arranging his toilet as
well as he,.could,.and.-thea with
great per's'uasion Ed. got hull to-gohome wtth him, and hunting srip-
pers and socks,, and getting hint
washed and9eonibedyirad•hini quite
preseu!ftble when the ladies arrived.
I need not tell you how the story
was all wormed out of bashful Bill,
and how they all laughed as they
sat around the tea -table that night,
but will concludeby 'snyiug that
they went to the racestogether, and
Bill has no fear of Gus Sockrider
now.

solve at their leisure :
Canada sells ltorses to the Un-

the Canadian farmer would get 20
per. cent more for his horses thou

CANADA, BEFORE TIIII FALL OF BATOCllb1,
ON' THE. RVR 00' A MOST APPALLING
INDIAN WAR.
Ottawa, August 31.—Dr. A. Jukes,
Chief Surgeon of the North-west
Mrs -tied Police, in an interview, con-
tributes a statement which is calcul-
ated to form bistorj'. From investi•
gation since the late Northwest, re-
bellion he has obtained information
tending to show that.Canatla, before
the fall of Batoche; was on the eve of
one of tlto most appalling Indian
wars of modern times. Ile says the
victory of General Middleton caused
a well-planned uprising to collapse.
A11 theglndians of the Northwest, ad
well as their allies in the United
States, west of the Missouri, the
Chinooks, o[ the Rockies, as well as
the Flatheads of the Pacific Coast,
had agreed to sink their differences
t.nd fight the common enemy. Dr -
Junes went on to express his belief
that the the Indians were acquainted
_with every tuove.at the .front just as
quickly as the whites.
