SAGACITY IN A HORsg.-Some time
ago, gentleman who had been pay
ing his devoirs rather freely at the
shrine Of Bachus in a fishing village i'll
Scotland, was vending his way home
ward, mounted on his old but trust
worthy steed, whose movements, and
its rider hauled either to the larboard
or starboard, in order to carry It's bur
den on an even bottom, were an anus
ing scene. Notwithstanding the poor
animals endeavors to keep its load on
an equilibrium, down he tumbled, and
there he lay as fat as founder, fully
divested Of all his sheet ropes, haul
ward. and cables. On feeling the dis
mantling and unloading of the cargo,
the sagacious animal looked around
with look of pity and it may be of
chaprin, as much as to say, 'Ah poor
man, if you would only do as | do
take no more than what would satisfy
natures wants, and abide by the re-
freshing draughts of the lmp'd stream,
YOU would not require my energies 50
much to keep you on your balance. L
must be content for a time to share
along with you cold, damp bed on the
road, without food. without litter, un-
unless some one cOmmlserate our state,
and set YOU again on my back Ac-
cordngly, as if suiting the action to the
word, the natural, kind, and good
hearted ami nal, turning cautiously
round, and bending its f're-legs, ay
down besid its master, stretching Its
neck and head around his caput, which
was d,vested of the upper covering, as
if to protect it from the nocturnal dews,
IT the expense, perhaps, "t It's own
health, and there the poor animal lay
until a few farm servants, who were all
the while spectators of the rather IN
terestug scene, went forward, more
out of pity for the tender and KIND
hearted animal than for It's master, and
cot hun conveyed ZONE. This Is not
the first time this wonderfully sagacI>
ous animal has shown ITS love for its
owner in a nearly similar way. lie
