Hints for Horse bearers.

Tonpkins bought fine horse-paid $500 For
him. The horse, after a. few months, proved
to be lame in the right shonlaer-Thompkins
was distressed about IT, Tried all sorts of
remedies, e,hbrocations, lnaments, mustang m
clnded, nndepsthe aavic Of the very best vete
ri naries, sfiii the lameness was obstinate and
grew rather worse. He became desperate,
and hit upon tlhs device to self the horse. -
He drove an ugly ten penny nail plump into
the right fore foot, and left it there for ten
davs. W en- he led the tor ed a nal limping to
a neighhoring blacksmith to be shod. The
blacksmith was dealer In horses, and quite
a jockey in his way. After while, Tomp-
kins called atthe shop for his horse. "That's
"a splendid gelding OF yours. Mr.. Tkompkins,
pity he's so lame,,s says the blacksmith
/" He 10. indeed replied Tompkins, shut he isI
very lame, andsI am afraid he can't be cared. -
'sPerhaps not, and may be he cam" says vul-
can. s'Hsw much would you be willing to
take for him just as he stands, Mr.. Tompkins,
money down ?'' sAh, we'll, don't know
what to say about that. II he is cured, he is
worth all I paid for him, antfeveu much more,
as horses go now but if bis slameness should
continue, you see he is worth nothing-not
dollar. The blacksmith began TO chatter
First he offered $50, than SIS, and at last 500,
for the animal. Tompkins was persuaded and
accepted the last offer. The money was paid,
and The horse was delivered on the spot
''Nosv,' says the blacksmith, Gas the bargain
is finished, I willbefrank with you Mr.. Tomp-
kins. IsupposeaI can tell you just exactly
whstwas the matter with that horses asSCan
you?' say Tompkins, g well, Ishall be glad to
hear it. thought you mist know an about
it, or ycu would not have paid me 50 much
money for him.'' The Blacksmith produced
the nail and assured Tompkins, with great ap-
parent satisfacfion that while pairing down the
horses hoofs, he had found the internal piece
Of iron, and that he drew il out of the frog of
the near fore foot. SIS that all you know
about itsg Tompkins asked'svery quietly :
'sAlI pvreplied the blacksmitk. .s All isn't that
enough for conscience sake?ssp~Wefl,'' "a re-
