I re mam Ur r—ye*. 1 roir.ouaber the
oold Friday and titturJay of '30, when
I was a little mall boy—and had to ride
t'jn mall from lAwreuoeYllle to line
well, twenty-four mile* end back lit a
dey. Friday waa my day. rain or ahiue,
cold or hot, and my mother cried when
fathnr helped me on the high drome
dary hone that morning; but I wat
bundled up good, aud had warm wool
en enck* over my those and a piir o(
home-kult mltient on my hands and a
woolen comforter erotzrri around my
neok and ears, t thought I could stand
It, for I wai voung kdu lough, aod full
o( blood, and had been ralerd to wmk
la the cold and to cbop wood aud to go
lo mill, and my fatlier always laid Unit
boys who wme railed rosy woo'd be no
account and die bard. I made llie trip
to Boswell In gnod tlmr, Unt It woe
growing cottier and colder, and the
drizzling rala had turned Into elect.
For about en hour I eat l.y the post
master's Ore and got thawed, lie urged
me to stay all night, aod ould X would
freeze to death on lb* road; bat I knew
toy mother would Imagine 1 wat S'Hne
where dead on Ibe way and l« die
Ireeatd, and to the }to»lmaau-r helped
roe on the okl dromedary sod I gave
him the reins for home end held oa to
tbe horn of llie saddle. He was a One
traveler and paced up hill and down

his oars were full. I slopped in
the shelter of Ills covered bridge a
few minutes and round I wsa getting
colder, for tho sleet had Uown under
me on the laddie and into toy socks.
A feeling of alarm Cato* over me, tor
my fingers were onmh aod my feel too.
Desperately I ducked to tbegood horse,
sod away be wen', for there was yot
sixteen mile* to make, aod the b)lew id
was ou In earnset and It louksd like III*
darkness of night bad aim*: come.
Mile after mile was left tie Mud. sud I
felt Uiat we could make It; but ail of a
sudden, wheui I got toFairvlewchuicb,
I lusllzsd that 1 had about Inst feeling,
for I oooldn’t unclutch my hand from
the horn of the saddle and 1 didn’t
know whether my feet were In the stir
rups or not. 1 was ooly two milrs from
home and my good horse paced on.
They were lo kiug for me—roy father
and mother—eud as IIm horse rounded
up to the bank door I almost fell Into
their arms, snd ay hand was wrenched
from its frozen grip oo the aa'die. I
remember that, for it was U>e cold Fri
day, snd the next day was colder. I
wae robbed with turpentine and oil and
tenderly Dorsad, and In a few days was
reedy for another trip. We had no
thermometers then,sod there is uu rec
ord buw oo id it was, but 1 remember
that birds wero fr zen iu lltn woods
aod chickens ou the roost. I don’t
know whether these Ihermometvre ure
any advent age or not. The oilier room
lug 1 got up end toon made s fire in
two rooms end then went out lo the
coaihouee to gat more coal for upstairs.
I noticed that the back hall floor and
the atepa and platform cracked strange
ly aa I walked on them, and I ialt that
it was oo id—very cold—but I never
looked at the thermometer for Itself an
hour and It wan 7 degrees below zero.
I got colder Immediately, for I bad
riever seen the mercury that low be
fore, My opiDlon is that 10 degrees
shove zero is shout as cold as 10 de
gree! below If you have uo thermome
ter. I can’t realize the difference, end
that Is the reason why our northern
brethren make so little fuse nboot
weather 30 aod 40 drgreea below the
mark. It 1« like the engineer who was
called by a railroad committee to givs
bit opinion about speed. Tliry asked
him If it was more dsngarnuu to run
fifty miles an hour Ihau forty, lie
•eld no. "Can you ruo slaty na arfe as
forty T” “Ves.” mid ha. "Mow
about aeveoty or eighty ?” -Just as
safe as forty,” be said, “for If you
jump the track at forty yon will go to
the devil, and that la aa far a* you can
get at lot! ml let an hour.” Jnet so I
doa’t care much wham the mercury
gwrn nwr il get* Dtlow XU.
I tu talking to an old friend from
Maine about tlie weather, and be aakl
he bad suffered about as much down
here •• up there, but didn’t coffer long
at a time—only a day or two; but up
there it waaaever*] long weary tnooUt*.
"Where 1 wai raised,” be auld, "the
mercury wee far below zero for a month
at a time, and I remember one long,
weary night when It dropped to 30 and
then 35 nod 40. There wen an old

It waa made of thick rentable Iron and

and pine notll It waa rad hoi all round.
Oo Hilt partial Ur night we boys had
