And grief sur hearts should sever,

A YANKEE TRIcK.-It was a time oI

woods in the state of Massachusetts.
There was to be a special frolic in the
shape OF horse race IA horse race. did

Great, or the steeds of mail stages, if
YOU have ever been in that country; or
the progeny of that celebrated mare
whom a flash of lightning chased all
round ten-acre lot, without being able
to catch her. But horse-racing is no
regular trade or common occupation
in New England; nobody makes bu.

and when an occurrence OF this sort
takes place, it is no very stddied affair,
but irolicsome scramble among all the
beasts OF burden in the neighborhood, or
such as chance brings along at the mo-

Once year it had been customary to
run race of this sort in the village Of
L., and the heetest runner ofthis mot

to which every adventurer contributed
a sum. On the present occasion, the
prize was considerably augmented by
