ORIGIN AND ANTIQUITY OF
HORSE.RACING.

Having shown in our paper Of last
week upon this subject That horse.racing,
originally derived from the East, was a
portion of the ceremonies used in cele-
brating the festivities Of Aithras, or the
sun, and that this worship finding It's
way into Greece and Rome, itwas sub
sequently transplanted By the Romans
into England--that the English have
adopted many of the manners and Gus
toma Of the Romans is very evident to
any observing reader Of the social his
tory of that people--let us now inquire
how closely We have followed them in
respect Of horse.racing.
We nave already said that the races
of Rome were run in the open country
till Tar9uinius Priscus built the grand
circus in which the races were after.
wards performed. How far the horses
ran before they got to the last meta
from the starting place is not expressed
by historians, butw are informed that
the above circus is saidto be about two
thousand one hundred and sixty.seyen
Roman feet in length, andnine hundred
and sixty broad, of a semi.circular form
at one end, the other extending in a
right line, but rather circular; aud that
theraces commonly ended at the sey.

The thing was getting serious, and

Bob's prosecutors amongst the rest
whilst ne, poor wretch, sat upon .he
beach, exhausted, up to his neck in the
water. The unfortunate animal that
Ned had seized was left behind, Bob
could MT imagine unless it had been
wounded in the encounter. sssl
Ned had gone for the skilf. when the
lost che passed Bob without noticing
him. A feeling Of vengeance sprung
up in Bob's breast, and being sufficient

QUARTS ,---as he stated, Of salt water, he
rose suddenly, and gave chase. The
critter 'locoInoted' rapidly. Bob was
too swift for her, be overhaulcd her,
and we presume had battle, OF an ex,
planation, if they talk ,---or something
of the kind, for no did notreturn. Mean,
time Ned having righted the skiF AMI
anchored her, walked up the beach to
find Bob, or home, or both, or either.
In so doing, stumbled over frock and
hem-r-hem! no not exactly that; didn't
know what! Itiooked something like
q shirt, only that it was sleeveless and
longer. At any rate, Ned took it home
and made q very minute examination
thereof. but to no purpose, for though
ne enquired diligently, there was no one
in that neighborhood who owaed it He
was therefore forced into tho conclu.
sion that hereafter in the natural histo-
.ry of the Mermaid it should always be
mentioned that the creature evinces a
certain degree of womanlys delieaey,
and unless in ve,y hot nights, clothes
itself after the manner of females .ter-

aver, but of the species to be found in

to speak positively,-as he yet retains
the evidence thereof in. the garments
aforesaid (which differ in no apprecia-
BILE degree from those worn by nymphs
who ate not tcrrafueous.
Some two years after this occurrence
he was placed in a position to speak
with more certainty as to the close re-
scmblance borne by this animal to the
human race, by the receipt Of an invi-
tation to attend the wedding of his fishy
friend, Robert Stimson, ESQ.,, who, af:
ter the ceremony, took Ned aside and
whispered him, in strict confidence, so
don't you mention it, dear reader
to 'liying soul,'--that that the Ia
dy was the identical Mermaid that he
(Bob) had chased and captured on that
memorable occasion.
Ned assured me on his shonor,' that
she was in no wise distinguishable from
very pretty, healthy looking woman!

The trial of Childs. which is progress
ing at St. Louis, excites a great deal of
interest. The ST. Louis Republican says
in reference to it:
Whether the guilty be detected or con-
victed in this trial the public will certain
ly be the gamers. The evidence adduced
will at least develop the management of
this institution-the fidelity, intelligence
and industry of its officers and agents
and how far this bank has been conducted
" ith care and on the system of checks
and balances adopted in other similar in
stitutions. 1t will be useful in Demon
strating the improperly Of mingling po-
litical purposes with the conduct of the

FoRG1vENEss.-Wh peaceful, bless
ed abode this might even this world be-
come were we all heartily to imbibe and
practice the truly Christian sentiments
and spirits so impressively exhibited in the
following extract.
Let each one begin with himself, and
then the world will be reformed
There is no virtue in the human heart
which so much ajorns the life and char
acter of an individual, nor the duty more
enioined upon the christian than that of
forgiveness. For proof of this, look at
the examples of Christ, who while suffer
ing on the cross by the hand of his ene-
mics, exclaims in the anguish of his soul
-"Father, forgive them, for they know
not what they do"
How noble the sentiment.-how pure
it's author. And shall man "created but
little lower than the angels fail to i'm
itate the example of him in whom there
was "no guile" Or shall he debase him
self towards his brother man. So prone
are we all to stray from the path of recti'
tude and duty, that we find ourselves Of
ten called upon to forgive the faults and
errors of those who, in an lngrarded mo-
ment, do us an injury; and unless we dc
this hatred and revenge will reign tri.
umphant IN every heart, and sin hold un-
bounded sway.
But on the other hand, if we forgive
those who trespass against us, we shall
by so doing, obey the injunction Of Christ
and contribute to the enjoyment of those
who offend us. and advance our own hap.
piness We should see less of the spirit
of retaliation which now reigns in oul
midst, and like the destroying pestilence
spreading desolation wherever it goes. i
the poisinous darts of SANDER are hurried
to crush our hopes, and to darken oul
prospects, we should remember that etc
err is human, and freely forgive the often
der. 1t will duly increase the amount O
guilt, by cherishing illwill towards onl
fellow men, however great the offence
may be- But oh, tbs blessed to forgive
ITO do unto others as we would they
should do unto us; thus filling the hearts
of the sons Of men with Joy and not with
grief. Let us then, if we would render
ourselves ornaments to society, and be.
loved by the worthy and virtuous cherish
the Christ-like spirit of forgiveness, and
we cannot fail to be happy
