Wiest. does Mr. RAM! mean? There is some-
thing about his appearance among us at this junc-
ture which we want explained. Hu be indeed come
only to tame our horses and a casual zebra, or has he
an esoteric doctrine? Is he a sage in disguise, and
are kin lectures spologms in the =maw of the East?
We suspect him of allegory. His words are of beasts,
but is he sot thinking of man ? The world is one
great taming school, and we all are tamers. We
choose to regard Mr. RAHEY as a humane
philosopher, who uses the horse to illustrate
are of the greatest social lessons of modern times.
The great basis of his system, u we reed yesterday,
is the constant, patient, skilful application of the
law of kindness. The trainer must have well studied
the peonliarities, strength, weakness, tastes, pas-
sim, end aversions of his subject ; in order to tune,
be himself must have been humanised, and then he
may be sure tut in kindness he is employing the
mod pirwerfal agent tor subduing refractory spirits.
Among those who will read these lines are many
wire eau tell of human transformations quite
ea remarkable as the taming of Cruiser, due to a
treatment based on the principles just laid down. Our
Reformatories supply numberless attestations to the
potency of kindliest in breaking down obstinate tem-
pera and stubborn wills. Ruffianly young urchins,
with dispositions like " the most unruly harass
in the world, those of South America, caught with
" the Irmo, and controlled by the spur," are brought
without coercion in a few weeks to perform hard
work and endure hard fare with cheerfulness, to
obey with promptitude, and even to behave
with some approach to politeness. There is no
trick in doing these things any more than in
taming a horse. Mr. RAECT teaches the im-
portance of personal character to encores. A sys-
tem apart from individual character is of no =a
The trainer must, in the first instance, have
thoroughly mastered himself. "Hu temper must
have become even as a saint's, his touch as gentle
" as a woman's ; he mast neither swear nor bellow,
" nor call ill names." Kindness, to be effeetual with
boys or men, mat be sterling, and if so, it will be
rooted is principle and invariably accompanied by
justice. A man distinguished for his mom in re-
forming criminals and outcasts lately observed to en
inquirer My inmates do not want indulgent* t
" they would despise me if I offered it. They are
" sharp to detect the /east variation from the straight
" line; but they see that I never exceed by a word
" without recalling it, they are con vinoed that I am
" working for their good, and my influence over them
" is complete." The calm order and perfect discipline
that surrounded the speaker, attested the truth of
his words. Principled kindness is a power, while a
mere impulsive disposition to benevolence is found
atelier to leave as impression of weakness in its
object, than to be efficacious for restraint or reform.

The greatest taming experiment we have in hand
at the present time is the Government of India.
And here as nations instead of individuals are con-
owned, we get slower and fainter results. Neverthe-
less, as far as it is applicable, Rarity's principle must
hold good here also. We need not stay to answer
those who my that we endangered our Eastern Em-
pire through over-kindness. Those who wish the
