ON WOOING. , Although Firmer Tucker ma long dreamed of II Sit to Chautauqua,when be actually fond hiraseltat that Mecca of devout exoUnioniats, eats, last Au- st, the brawliiy man was tempted to oubt. his own, identity. The olida surroundings. Were wholly unlike any thing to which he was accustomed i his drowsy b•Ttsv England home th rich, crowded prograrntne offered wa In striking contrast to the dull mon tony of farm life. When this son toil first entered the Auditorium, an saw that rustie amphitheatre crowd with thousan s of people listenin breathlessly t the grand org heart was, strft pa,nded. For in that he had like to come t a 0. Samuel, to come back for me this rainy day," and then thetears flowed so 'fast that further words were impossible. Completely taken by surprise, Mr. Tucker exclaimed ; dollen) 1 I hadn't no idea you'd oke somuch about 11 wouldn't mind the walk," respond- ed the wife, "but—SamUel—I'm so happy to have you oare 'enough about me t come !" The strong mai was brushing moray a tear from his own cheek now; his tenderer, better nature was mastering the hardasellish spirit whioh had long possessed him, and, with some cough- ed, ing and .choking, he said: "Jane, I g see I've inade an awful -botch of our mar- ried life; if yolfre a mind to forgive me, I'll see if I can't treat you from to -day as a woman ought to be treated." This confession was all too much for the Weeping wife, and she answered, quickly: "You're not a bit more to blame than I 9,m ; I've been proud and obstinate; but I tell you what it is, we'll begin all over again." The ice was now thoroughly broken, and that afternoon Farmer Tucker and his wife had a long talk over the past and the future. And in the evening when they were abent to start for the prayer meeting to be held in a neighboe- ing school -house, the renewed husband stooped and kissed his wife, saying?: "Jane, I've been a -thinking that mart ried life ain't so very different from farming or any other occupation. Now I ain't such a fool as to think a field will keep a yielding if I only enrich it once and plant it once; I have to go over the same round every season; and here I supposed you was a going to always do as you did when we were the full, sweet tones , his cramped, selfis gely touched and ex n instant the wish ore* asked Jane if she woul 0. But there was !1Oe much time for his own thoughts, for the music ceased a whitehaired speake arose and Was I introduced to the. an dience as Mr. ;folin B. Gough. At this announcement Samuel Zeck er's satisfaction was too great to be kep to himself, and he said, half aloud, t his next neighbor : "Well, now, I am beat to think Ilea going to hear the ma I've wanted to see for more'n twent yeare." TheYoting lady gave an amuse little laugh, but it fell unheeded upo ated speaker, whose at ady caught by the orator mmenced his brief leo ture with one o his inimitable desorip tons.. The sto y was of a man who ap plied for a divorce, and was advised b his eminent lawyer, to try the effect o raakinglove to his wife as he had don before naarryine her, instead of resort lug to the measure he had proposed It included an ziccomat of a later visi when the happy- husband withdrew his application ; and, fairly claiming with glee, assured the lawyer that his experi- ment had worked like a charm that "Sally had become as amiable and af- fectionate a wittli as a man could ask to have." `Mr. Gough's representation of the scene drew forth prolonged applause; but Samuel Tucker's interest was of too serious a nature to permit his join- ing in the laughter. As if nuconackUs; for the moment, of the multitude about him, he said in an undertone: "I'd be williog to take my oath that wouldn't work with Jane.1 All I have to say is, e was different from nal:link of feeding ger- as to begin sparkiug h , the unsophisti tention wait air Mr. Gough c ; . courting, without my doing ray part at , all." t "If I hadn't changed any, maybe you would always have been as tender as you used to be," pleaded the happy wife. "Perhaps so, and perhaps not; but I don't mean to leave you to try no suoh plan. I tell you what it is, Jane, Ifeel as if we hadn't never been really mar- ried till to -day. It most seems as if -we ought to take a wedding tower." "I'm afraid- we'll have to wait till next sueoraer for that," was the smiling response. aI suppose we shall; but we'll take it then certain; and tell you where 1 we'll go, wife—that's to Chautauguy.— The Congregationadist. th,at man's w mine; I'd as 90 rup to a rciumm again with her." Itwould seen that this course of reasoning thd no wholly dismiss from the farnier's mi4d a train of thoughts and possibiliti s suggested by the lecturer's story. In every treat of the following days' --at sacred service or popular lecture, in the museum or by the model Of the Holy Land, when listening to concert or gazing with throngs upon the illuminated fleet, the far away husbandwas relentlesely fol- lowed by a- vision et hard-vvdrked Jane, looking upon, hint with reproachful eyes. At length he quieted his conscience with the deter inatiort to prove that his. estimate of iis wife was correct. "When I go back," he said to himself, "I'll just show tbe woman some little attentions, and I'll see they won't have no more effect on her than they would_ on the old bay tn. re. Jane's bound to be sullen and ob aurae, and I suppose I may as well make up my mind to it." On reaching h me the resolution was not easily carri d out. When Mr. Tucker planned some gallantry towards his wife, the very thought made him feel so unnatural and foolish that post- ponement resulted ; but the Sabbath offered an opportunity so convenient that he improved it. The farra was nearly a mile from church, yet SamuelTucker had for years been in the habit id driving back after the forenoon serv ce, leaving his wife to 13 attendE the Sabb9th school, and then walk home as bet she could- through raud and dust. Get was Mrs. Tucker's astonishment, therefore. on the Sabbath after his return, te find him waiting for her at the close 'of the Bible service. The faintest su,picion that he had driven back to- th church for her did not cross the, wo1:7 an'e mind; she sup- posed he had busiaess with some of the brethren, and wee hesitating whether to walk on as usual or to suggest wait- iegfor him, when the farmer called out, "It's jest as cheap to rich; as to walk." Silently the wife ook her seat ha the buggy, and silently they drove home, much to the husband's satisfaction, for it seemed to him El. proof of the woman's dull, unappreciative nature. "She didn't act pleated, bet was only dazed like, aa 1 kneweh wonlci be," he mat- tered, as he went about his mid-day "chores.' At the same time Mr. I Tucker was conscious of havieg performed a ritost praise -worthy Ewaand felt so comfor- table that he resolhed to repeat the ex- periment. So an he following Sabbath, i Jane again found er husband in wait- ing, and as she meunted the high buggy, ventured to utter a half-andibIe "thanks," and to ask Samuel if he had been waiting long. To which Mr. Tucker replied that he had juat reached thechurch, and didn't know but he would find_ she had started on foot. This reply seemed to Jane a positive assurance that her husband had really returned for thetsOie purpose of taking her home, and her chilled heart glowed with a warmth ma nawn for years. She longed to tell her. usband how much she appreciated hie trouble, bat imagin- ed it would sound i''so foolish" that she kept her pleasure to herself. t The third Sabbath was rainy, and d she, washed the breakfast dishes Mr Tuaker kept thinking, "I wonder Samuel means to +erne for me this nob it weuld be auch a help in the rain I'm half a' mind to ask him 1" Thi resolution was son stifled, however, with the reasoning which had silenced many similar resolves in the past ten year& "No, I won't ask no favors; if itaft don't think enough of me to come, why he needn't." Although proudly i unwilling to seek a tentions,Ja,nelonged for some deraonstr tion of her husband's love and caret she had walked home in the rain too often greatly to dread such exposure; but a week before, the wife had tasted the joy of being considered, and longed for sonie new and further proof of her companion's affection. Mrs. Tucker's heart leaped for joy, when, at boon she saw the old mare's head from th lee ure room 'window. 1 Indeed, her henge,1 pg heart suddenly bees/no quite umn. nageable, and enter- ing the carriage* r, melted Jane sob- bed out. "I'm sure it's very good of you, • A New Yorker in. Montreal. One who has spent all his winters in a place like New York, where the cold lasts only for a few days at a time and snow is almost always followed by rein or thaw, will be very ranch- astonished at his first experience of winter in Can- ada. When I got out of the cars the other morning in Montreal, on my way to the Ice Carnival, the streets were covered. thick with snow, and the hotel omnibuses toward which I terned my steps were on rann rs. allow cold. is it ?" ome one asked the conductor of the oi4nibns. "Six below," he replied—at which everybody looked pleased. It bad been thirty above when we left New York the night before, and l in the warm ' sleeper we had hardly guessed the thermometer was falling. If it had dropped to twenty six below, everyone would have been more pleased still; for when one sets out to enjoy an unusual experience he wants it to be as unusual as possible. But though the mercury was so low, one did not feel cold. The sun shone bright, tbe air was dry and crisp, people walked along, or drove by in their sleighs, with ab air of uncon- cern; only I noticed Ithat everybody was well wrapped up, that fur caps were very common, and that few ears were left exposed. By and by, as we, went out to survey the city, how odd everything seemed! Down under the snow, somewhere, vaare horse -car traeks, bet they had not btten used since Novem er and would not be until April. Mea while the cars, everything else, g� upon runners. or four months in the year vehicles of 11 kinds—trucks, wage s, fire engines, ose carts, hooks and la dent, baby car- iedages, even hearses—become sleighs, and one hears only the jingle of the bells or the grind of the sharp -steel runner over the packed snow. Bells are not as frequent novas musical -as one might think, nor does one often see the pretty red and blue plumes which we are com- ing to use in New York. But the horses go at a tremendous pace and one has to look sharp to avoid being ran over. On oue day of the Carnival all the sleighs in the city turned out in proces- sion. It was not such an elegant dis- play as one might witness in Central Park, New York, but it gave a good idea of the great variety of -conveyances used in the city, and made an aniniatad scene as the double line of vehicles moved rapidly throtigh the admiring crowd of epectators. Most of the riders wore bright and lively faces; those Of one party were grave and sad. Around their hats—there were four of them occupying a one horse sleigh—were draped white bands; the horse moved slowly along, while on the lap of the woraa,n who sat beside the driver rested a little coffin. It wae .a baby's funeral which had got mixed up with the par- a,de,and contrasted pathetically with the life and gayety all around. For the moment, indeed, it seemed as if all the procession had become a funeral, and U1100118OioUsly people's faces sobered and their voices were hushed as they whis- pered, "How sad I" Then as -the sleigh with its little burden passed by, and was ost to sight, the brief impression van- iehed and the gayety cams back. One gets the rnost •realizing sense of the Montreal winter, I think, by riding over the river St. Lawrence in a sleigh or by railroad—for one may take his choice. -A carriage—or to speak more correctly, a sleigh—road runs over the ice from shore to shore ;and, what is even more remarkable, a. railroad has been laid along the same route. It was three years ago that the tracke were first put down, and the experiment tried o running•trains across the ice. The first trip, it may be imagined, was an uncertain one. No one knew whether the ice would bear the weight; and, as a matter of fact, in places it did sway up and down under the loco/motive like the waves of the sea. The ekgine passed over in safety, howeder, andeas the ice thickened heavier trains were run uutil it was found that the road bed Was as solid as the earth itself, and would bear any weight that was put upon it. To -day locomotives and ten- ders, weighing 50,000 lbs., will drag over a praie of oars, each weighing 100 tons, without a jolt or -jar. Here and there in the river the ice is „ 'eeetee; , THE H purposely broken through and the water allowed,t0 eome to the surface, so as to relieve•the upward pressure of , the our,, rent. ind to preventit forcing a vent for itself. It is a novel sight.to anyone ; who has seen -the broad stream in sum- mer;.and perhapn sailed upon it, to look down frora the wharves at this time of year upon its frozen and snow-covered surface. • Up and down as far as the eye can reach Stietohea the white ex- panse; over towards the other shore winds the railroad train; and, not far away, the road by which peoPle cross and re -cross in their sleighs. Here in the foreground a group of men are play. ing a " milling ' match, with large, round discs that look like quoits, only they are slid along . the ice instead of being thrown; a little beyond„ a larger crowd marks the course where during Carnival week races are being run; while the black dots, still further off, are men cutting ice and hauling it to shore. The picture is framed in winter, as it is in summer, by the long, slender line of the Victoria tubular bridge, con- necting the two shores. - . , i One might think that the rfver afford- ed fine opportunities for skating, but it is too deeply covered' with now for that, and the sport is chiefly Practised in the rinks. Indeed one of the princi- pal events of the week was a fancy dress carnival in the ;Victoria Rink, in which 500 of the most practised skaters he the city performed their graceful evolutions in costume. The ice was hard and smooth for -the occasion, miciit by a single runner, and so inviting hat the 2,500 spectators who sat and stood around the sides of the inolosu •e found it difficult to keep off. In the Middle rose a temple of ice, built of solid blocks and columns, and beautifully lighted by electricity, and from time to time by red and blue fires. Very -, soisia after the appointed time a door at th further :, end of the building opened and a figure in a huntsman's red coat a peared. This was the president of the club, Mr. stream of quaint and picturc que fig- c)E Davidson, and after :him pour d outa nres. The music struck up, the figures glided off upon the ice, and in a moment the place was transformed. From a abating riuk it had become Aladdin's palace, or a bit of fairyland, or What is even a better comparison,a great kaleid- oscope. For some time it wa impos- sible to take the figures in or dentify them in one's mind; but after little, as one became more used to the bewil- dered 'spectacle, they began to assume shape, and one could distinguish' the Zulu_ Chief from the Crusad r, and Brother Jobnathan from the clown. Two of the most amusing characters represented babies. They went huge babies—quite six.feet tall—hut dressed in long white dresses, with white masks and caps, and carrying tin rattles in their hands; they looked to infantile that it . Was hard not to b lieve them the children of Blutaderbore or Bro;b- dignagt Besides these there were two, black bears, who glided up and down on their hind legs and -seemed to be threat- eubig a friendly hug toward everybody they approached; a Japanese lada, with an umbrella, looked as if she jut step- ped out of,a fan; an organ -grind r, pro- pelling his instrument befoie hi , and a diminutive Jumbo, wonderful1 like a real elephant, but in reality made up of two boys. To describe all theh •liro ters, however, would be an imp ssible task. When they got tired an went home I do not know, but there were no signs of the gayety bv breaking up hen I myself departed, and I dare say iti lasted for hours. Canadian young in n and women seern to be able to staaid is. good deal more fatigue than Amerhians, and if the sight of Montreal in mid -winter and of thetCarnival has taught those who were there anything at all: it is the value and healthfulnees of the (danadia-n winter sports. The Deepest 'Coal Mine in Am- erica. The deepest coal mine in this 660 - tion of the country is at Pettsville, Penn. The shaft is 1,576 feet deep. From its bottom, almost a third .of a mile down, 200 oars, holding leur tons each are lifted every dayt They are run upon a platform, and the :whole weight of sit tons is hoisted at it speed that makes the head swim, the time occupied in lifting a full car being only a little more than a Minute. The hoisting and lowering of men intp .coal mines is regulated by law in that 'State, and only ten can "stand on a platform at once under penalty of a heavy fine. However, earelessness cannot be pre- vented, and unaccustomed visitots are appalled by it; "A person of weak nerves," says a porrespondent, "should not brave the ordeal by descending the Pottsville shaft. v The machinery works as smoothly as a hotel elevator, but the speed is so terrific that one • seems falling through the air. The 'knees after a few seconds become weak and tremulous, the ears ring as the dram of these organs are forced inward by the air pressure, and the eyes shut invel- uuterily as the -beans of the shaft sem to dash upwarl only a foot or two away.
