The neat little churches, too, appeared as bright as though the painters had left them the evening before.

And here I must remark a convenience attached to them, which it might be well to imitate in those of our own churches which are situated in out-of-the-way districts, such as the Highlands of Scotland, where many of the congregation have to come from a considerable distance.

The convenience I allude to is simply a long, broad shed, open all one side of its length, and fitted with rings, &c., for tethering the horses of those who, from fancy, distance, age, or sickness, are unwilling or unable to come on foot.

The expense would be but small, and the advantage great.

Onward speed our dapper greys, fresh as four-year-olds; and the further we go, the better they seem to like it.
