THE HORSE RACE.

Dick Homespun was brought up n per-
feet, well educated plough boy, who
summered on the farm and wintered at a
town school. Both summer and winter
were well improved by him, and his fathers
crops of corn, cabbages and hay, and his
own intellectual crop of arithmetic, gram
mar, geography and writing, were album
dant At twenty one, his father died and
left him money, knowledge, good habits,
and farm, and he was the delight of the
girls, Of his workmen, his mother and him
self Dick worked hard in the summer,
paid his taxes, courted, eat roast potatoes
and baked apples and milk, and knew not

dire day came about that horse race oc-
cured in his neighborhood. Dick on the
eventful day dropped his hoe in the field,
went home aud told his blooming bride that
he must 60 and see the sport, called foI
his old leather pocket book, and promised
to be at home at dusk, and started for the
horse race. He was surrounded at the
ring by those veYmin called the knowing

} to solve-he was upon the half bent, all
the while like an aimed rife, and his face
was IN the form of Hope and Despair inter-
mixed by skilful painter.
i The issue of the race was that Dick won,
and doubled his fifty dollars, with the ex-
/ ceptlon OF two for treating,in which instance
IN order to save something, he drank his
full proportion of the liquor and went home
with good deal of money, and very little
reason; in fact, he scarcely knew his own
house, and his own household scarcely
knew him. His bride laughed at his situa-
/ ton, foTgave him his first error, watched oveE
his cascading slumbers, laughingly boxed
his ears In the morning, when he, asham-

thought that fifty dollars was so easily won,
| that 1T was an act of prudence to obtain
the IKE sum to be placed at interest with
1t. His afectionate wife demonstrated.
that they already had enough with COM
mon industry, to supply their wants, and it
was wrong to take money from others wher.
he did not need it, and that the principle
was dishonest. But Dick saw nothing but
the fifty dollars, and his wife gave up, as
IL was useless to contend. Dick raised
a hundred and started for the horse race.
lie was no niggard in bets, this time
seventy five betted in short time, and
Dick sat down to see the event and
pocket the money, never doubling any thing

ing friends consoled him by saying that a

to 60 on in the evening, and he might there
win back again his losses, and go home
with money IN both pockets. Dicky swal-
lowed the bait, and drank rum and water
went home pretty decently corned, with
money an neither pocket, having given his
note for seventy FIVE dollars more than he
had the where with to pay cash on the nail.
Dickey's hoe is pawned for rum, and the
