Horse."-The horse is quadruped with four
legs--twO behind and two before. lie has I,
tail which grows 10 the hind part of his body,
that nature has furnished with which 10 drive
the flies away. His head is situated on the
other end opposite his tail, and is used princi-
pally to tasten a bride to him BY and to put
INTO basket to eat oats with. Horses are very
useful animals, and people couldn't get along
very well without them-especlall truckmen
and omnibus drivers, who don't seem to be halt
grateful enough because they've got en-
They are very convenient animals in the coun-
try, in vacation time, and go very fast over the
country roads, when the boys stick piHs into
them, species of cruelty that won't encour-
age. Horses are generally covered with red
hair, though some are white and others are
gray and black. ..i -..if' a'h 2
Nobody ever saw blue horse, which is con-
sldered very strange by eminent naturalists.-
The horse is quite an intelligent animal, and
can sleep standing up, which is a very con-
venIent gift, especially where there is crowd
and il is difficult TO lay. There is great var
iety of horses-fast horses-clothes horses
horse Mackerel-saw horses and horse flies
horse chestnut and horse radish. The clothes
horse is a very quiet animal TO have around the
house, and is never known TO kick, though very
apt to make row when it gets capsized.-
The same may be said of the saw horse. which
will stand without tying. The horse fly is q
vicious beast and very annoying in the summer
time, when fellow is swimming. Horse mack
erel don't know anything about, only tina
they swim in the water and are a species o
fish. Horse chestnnts are prime to pelt Mick
les with, and horse radish- is a mighty smar
horse, but bad to have standing around wher'
there's children. The horse is found in. al
countries, principally in livery stables. where
they can be hired by the mile, and are consid
eredBy them as can get money, agreat luxury
especially in the sleighing season. In SOuil
America they grow, wfld' and th- Indians catcl

he might consider himself fortunate indeed ;
that she was as far above any woman he knew
as heaven was above earth.
When Mr.. Harley went home, he told Sophia
and Elma that gentleman had sought permis-
sion TO address one of them; he would leave
them to find out which was the lady 10 ques-
ton. Sophia blushed consciously, believing of
course it was her, and Elma did not suppose for
a moment it was herself, so she thought no
mofe of it. In the course of the afternoon, a
letter came addressed to Miss Harding; Elma
took it and FASTENED to her room, wondering
who could be writing to her. Imagine her sur
prise, dear reader, when she found it decara-
ton of love from Clarence Morton. She was
quite bewildered-it could not be that one SO
noble should make choice of one so unworthy
But there was his letter to speak for him. She
found she had loved him, though unconsciously,
since their first meeting; and her feelings at
the thought that he loved her, were those of in
tense delight She fell upon her knees and
poGred out her heart to the Giver of all good,
for the unbounded mercies he had bestowed
upon her, and earnestly prayed that she might
be made worthy of such trust.
Two months from that time, Elma was q
bride, and the sun never shown on happier
one. There was not brighter face in the
company than Mr. Harley's, for he had arrived
at the climax of his happiness, which was see.
ing Ema happy. He generously bestowed up
on her a marriage portion, which any daug hter
might well be proud of from parent; and it
prevented her from being what she otherwise
woud-a penniless bride. Mrs. Harley and
Sophia were a good deal chagrined that lheiI
plans were foiled but, seeing that Ema wat
placed in SO high station, and that she woult
be courted by all the bon ton of the city, they
concluded it was best to appear. pleased, anC
none were more profuse in their congratulations

Mr.. EDITOR: have been looking som
time for few items in your local column
from Belmont. But have SO far been dis
speointed. GAINESVILLE, Bellaire, Hendrys.
burgh and other places send in their items
while Belmont is silent, and community a,
large would suppose that nothing of impor.
/ taDce ever trsnspires in our little village. =
Blu; Belmont is bustling busy place, full
of energy and enter prise.
We have good steam Touring and saw
mill, three dry goods s.ures, two groceries
and quite a number Of workshops. Our
dealers in dry goods and groceries, are also
dealers in all kinds of country produce who
are men of energy, enterprise and economy
We also have a warehouse, and our produce
is taken from thence by the "iron horse" to
the Eastern markets. So that quite an &C.
tive trade is carried on in Belmont.
But our village has been.cursed with that
old tyrant, King Alcohol for some time, bur
some of his subjects are becoming rebelious,
and the "good book" says, kingdom divid-
ed against Itself, cannot stand. So hope
the old tyrsnt will be dragged down from
his throne, and the last drop of his evil blood
