Have you been out in a blizzard, with no house within miles?" "No, no, no!" was the threefold reply. "I've tried them all," said Johanson, "and I am not afraid of a little snow. Lend me your stick, and I'm off." Off he was, but not to return through the long morning. Towards noon, a party who had been out with a snow-plough and a sledge came back, bearing two bodies carefully covered.
The unlooked-for interruption of his progress by a long-forgotten climate only deepened his discontent. And now that train was actually backing! It appeared they must return to the last station to wait for a snow-plough to clear the line. It was, explained the conductor, barely a mile from Shepherdstown, where there was a good hotel and a chance of breaking the journey for the night.
We have, I observe, a snow-plough fixed on the front of the engine; and, from the look of the weather, it would appear as if we should have abundant use for it yet. Snow-fences and snow-sheds are numerous along the line we are traversing, for the purpose of preventing the cuts being drifted up by the snow.
Town-House Hill was not as well travelled as many others, and Deacon Baxter had often to break his own road down to the store, without waiting for the help of the village snow-plough to make things easier for him.
So is a snow-plough, in midwinter, though I prefer a more flexible implement when it comes to cultivating my early peas. There is something worse than to be a Doctrinaire who pursues an ideal without regard to practical consideration; it is worse to be a Philistine so immersed in practical considerations that he doesn't know an ideal when he sees it.
