sweep of the cantle thus preserving from RECEIVING
any injury BY horse rolling in the saddle; and making
the saddle tree more firm than it would otherwise be-
which fail to give ease to both morse ana
frame also enters the back the cante OF the saddle
calculated to raise the valce pormanteau and keep
entirely clear OF the horses back This can be put

For though you boast throug h ages dark
Your pedigree from Noah's ark,

For was Adam-Adam
And was Eve---and Eve was l.,
In spite of wind and weather.
But mark me---Adam was not
Neither was Mrs. Adam !,
Unless they were together.
Suppose then Eve and Adam talking,
With all my heart;
But if they're walking,

And though Christian, yet 'tis true

MACREADY, THE TRAGEDIAN.

The following instance presents pleas
ing specimen of Mr.. Macready's courage
and humanity: When Mr.. Macready was
performing at the Birmingham Theatre, in
August 1923, he had left the house after
the Tragedy of Hamlet, in which he had
delneated, with his accustomed ability, the
philosOphic Prince, and was proceeding on
foot to his lodgings, when he approacheda
small Cottage in flames, surrounded by a
concourse of people, eager to look on, but
10th to assist cry of distress was heard
from within he instantly threw off his'c5a.
and waistcoat, and with the agility of a
harlequin, sprung into the parlour window,
from whence he soon issued with an infant
in his grasp, and was received by the
speechess mother in an agony no words
can describe. The hat, coat, and waist
coat of the adventurous hero were gone,
and he darted through the crowd as he
was, towards his lodgings /; no one could
tell the name of him, who had 50 gallantly
ventured his life; and pecuniary reward
Of considerable amount was offered to the
unknown by committee Of gentlemen. A
circumstance occurred which brought him
forward against himself; fellow was ap.
PChoHueu suing naHuSOine coat, III inc
sleeve of which was Mr.. Macready's name;
he was sent for by the police Magistrates,
and identified the coat stolen from him at
the fire. The papers now lauded his mod.
esty more than his intrepidity, and the
thunders of applause that greeted him on
his re-appearance atthe Theatre must have
been the most grateful tribute to feeling
heart. Mr.. Macready's goodness did not
stop here his Benefit took place shortly
after, and it was complete BUMPER. He
received in an anonymous letter hank
note for ten pounds, as tribute to bis hu-
manity and courage in rescuing the Gotta
gers child from the flames. Mr.. Macrea-
dy instantly called upon the unfortunate
couple, who had lost their all in the flames,
and presented them with that sum, saying
he had been only the mean instrument in
the hand of God, in procuring it for them:
he also promised to assist the infant as it ad-
vanced in years, and we have no doubt but
that he will fulfil his word.

An age OF wretehedness TO me;

I've drsinel the cup Of misery.

With the red steel that framed thy bier,
