at niiy of the housps with welcome.
The wife at Rainbow in a splen
did housekeeper and has a devoted
husband ; her family are wpII rais
ed and a great comfort to their
inothpr.
Ad to churches they are not tin
nierous, but yet people are inclined
to lie good just the name aft if they
did go to church. There in a school
house in which the natives wor
ship ever two weeks an a preacher
goes by as a circuit rider, stops
and preaches to a small congrega
tion by the Dame of Mr. Francis,
who is a good speaker and singer,
and he tries in every way to teach
from the Bible and not from the
world, that any child can under
stand him very nicely. I have
learned a great deal since I came
to this mountain region and have
seen things I never saw before.
Teke a sleigh with its shafts on
one side in order to keep the tan
ners in the middle of the road and
the borne is on the path. In case
a horse falls he cau get up quicker
than if he was in the centre of the
road. Then they also have a sleigh
called a snow plough or pongue.
This is a long bow establishment
made for ten people to ride in a
sort of a box like a tray to a trunk.
This is set on runners for a horse
to pull. The shafts are made of
wood and are on one side of the
sleigh. It is a most laughable
looking affair I ever saw. I had
an idea to try it, but backed out,
as my life is not insured and hav
ing a feeling it was not the thing
to do or have done to the earth so
quickly, while others would risk
their life as it seems best for them
to do. 1 had an experience once
in riding with a teemster in win
ter on a sled used for carryiug
freight on, feuch as wood, corn and
barrels or ha.y, and on our return
we stopped to get a hogshead to
carry to my hotel. We turned the
hogshead on its side and as- the
hiiow was coming fast I got inside
the hogshead for cover and as soon
as we came to a hill the teemster
let out his teem on a run, while I
was seen rol'ing both sides the
barrel in an unpleasant position,
while the teemster was laughing
at r.e at the position I was in like
a dg in the manger; but we ar
rived hoLie all right. I was known
as the hero in these parts, but uev-
r iu all was I more at home than
when in the Adiroudacks, and a
tow years went to Asheville, N. C,
where I have been ever since.

THE PACK ROLLINS WED
DING. The Miss Pack to Mr. Rollins of
New York, were solemnized on the
morning of May 16, 195, at the
Kpiscopal church, in Asheville, by
Mr. W. DuBonse r fflciating. The
impression of richness and pleas
ure preyed upon D. E.'s mind with
a feeling of joy entered his heart
as the carriascPB pass him by while
looking at them going to the
church and bsck to the bride's fa
ther's. May joy With them and
extensive congratulationsupon the
newly married couple.

inis was a type or noutnern
heauty and the Northern wealth
alone. The bride being adorned
in white satin dress, toule veil, as
ehe passed the street in the car
riage to meet her husband at the
church altar, who in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these.
The wedding at the church was
not long being tied, made by "the
happy couple, who soon came back
te the home of the bride, ana to
D. K. mind there appeared a ques
tion not necessary to spend so
much fuss on a wedding when the
two couples pledge their troth be
fore public as man and wite,wbicn
is a custom with all marriages,
which will doubtless in a measure
in cases with all marriages in such
extent when found the same idea
the world over.
D. E. does not know much about
love affairs, can say but little;
but his principles are that in all
love and marriages he hopes the
many weddings will be a grand
success in general throughout life
and only wish every one to do all
these parts the same. Wishing
one and sll many happy returns of
the day. Words cannot express
much on this wedding as he is not
well posted, but writes a card on
this happy couple who are man
and wife.

"I'D GO WITHOUT PUSHING."
It is said, a mother was showing
her little daughter Carrie, five
years old, an engraving represent
ing mothers pushing their child
ren toward Jesus, when he held
one of their number in his arms.
"I wouldu't be pushed to Jesus,
mamma," she said with earnest
ness, as her mother said to her:
"That's the way I would do with
you, Carrie, if I had been there."
"I wouldn't want to be pushed :
I'd go to him without pushiug."
Little Carrie was right. No
pushing is required ot get to Jbsus;
whether in the case of a child or a
man. His arms are widely ex
tended, and his sweet voice of love
says "Come!" Strange that peo
ple everywhere are not ruuning to
hiiu. CUi-UtUm Standard

Do you want your children to be
as indifferent aa you are and have
been? Remember that "Habit is
a cable; we weave a thread of it
each day." When rkiished, it is
by uo means easily broken. Let
your children form a habit of goings
every Sunday. It is the bent

To say "go"' is not what a parent
ought to say, but ;'coaie, let us go."
