When man and his horse differ seriously in pub
c and the feels the horse has the best of it, it
best for the man to accommodate his views to those
of the horse rather than risk defeat 1t is best to
let the horse 90 his way-and pretend it is yours
There is secret SO close that between rider
and his horse.
We knew young dumping shaped doctor at Ed
monitor, who rode himself into considerable prac
tce by being seen flying about the country in all
directions a runaway tit that he had bought at
Tattersalls the strength of its having mouth.
"This is lot 34,' said Tat, as wiry and spring
tailed bay came wincing and hitching up to the
hammer looking sideways to see who she might kick
at; " bay mare six years old, capital hack, has
carried lady, and has no mouth. What will any
gentleman give for the bay forty guineas forty
guneas thirty guneas?-twenty guineas ten o.
and having got down to that sum without even an
eye being turned upon him, and having given her
the usual flourish down the yard, he commenced
running her up so as to restore her handsomely to
the stable s'Ten guineas bid" said he; '' eleven,
twelve thirteen, fourteen fourteen-ffteen.'
Hang it y said the doctor to himself she must
be cheap at that: six years old-brght bay-black
! legs--no mouth-can,t eat cost nothing to keep
sreen :! exclaimed he, in state of excitement that
caused the whole yard to turn upon him in astonish
ment.
The doctor, as he said, ''stoppcd their gallop."-
Not another bid was made.
'Sixteen guineas" repeated Tat; "any advance
on sixteen ! All done at sixteen guineas ?--gotng
at sixteen guineas !--bang"- the mare was the
doctors.
But, though the doctor had stopped the bidders
gallop, he couldn't stop the mares and many were
the airings she gave him, whether he would or no
At first he fought with her,--we sorry to say
with but Indifferent success; for if the mare couldn't
dslodge him by kicking and plungng and rearing
she had no scruples about coming back over upon
; nina disagreeable disposition i any one, espe
cially for doctor with bottles in his pocket.
Hang it!' said the DOCTOR as he picked up the
remains of the third els ht-and-sixpenny gossamer

doctors and served him we'll. The next time the
mare started as if she shot, and wheeled rounC
to be off instead of checking and fighting her. he
gave her her head riding her with slack re in, anc
saluting his friends as he passed, though it was
all right, and the and he were both ola mind

Another said, " the young man seemed to have {

A third " that he seemed great economist of hi
