HORSES

lIIGHT OF Colts. The following rule |
to judge the hight colt will attain, when
full grown, is said to be reliable
When the colt gets to be three weeks
old, Or as soon as it is perfectly straight
ened in its limbs, measure from the edge
Of the hair on the hoofs to the middle of
the first joint; and for every inch, it will
grow to the hight of a hand four inches
when its growth is matured. Thus, if
this distance be found sixteen inches. it
will make horse sixteen hands high.

AARON BURR :
HIS TRICKS AS A LAWYER.


lie delighted to surprise his adversary,
tolay an ambuscade for him, and carry a
case by an ingenious stroke before the
other'side could recover their selfposses-
sion. 1t is related that, in an ejectment
suit to recover a valuable house in New
York, the opposing counsel had expended
their whole strength in proving the genu-
ineness Of a will, supposing of course,
that that was the only point susceptible
of dispute. What was their surprise to
find that Burr's main attack was against
the authenticity of an ancient deed, one

never before been disputed, and had been

murder, in which both Hamilton and
himself defended the prisoner, and which
excited intense interest at the time. Al
first the evidence against the prisoner
seemed conclusive, anu, | think, Burr
himself thought him guilty. But as the
trial proceeded, suspicious arose agains
the principal witness. Colonel Burr sub
iected him to a relentless cross-examina
ton, and he became convinced that thu
guilt lay between the witness and tn
prisoner, with the balance of probabilit,
against the witness.
The mans appearance and bearin;
were most unprepossessing. Beside
being remarkably ugly, he had the mea
down look, which is associated with tn
timidity of guilt. Hamilton had addres
sed the jury with his usual fluent elo
quence, combining his remarks to the win
dication Of the prisoner, without alludin

The prosecuting attorney replied, an
it was now Burr's province to say the las

not to be baked, however. Through one
of his satellites, of whom he always had
several revolving around him, he caused
an extra number of candles to be brought
into the Courtroom, and TO be so arrang-
ed as to throw a strong light upon cen
trail pillar, in fullview ofthe jury, against
which the suspected witness had leaned
throughout the trial.
The Court assembled, the man resumed
his accustomed place, and Col. Burr rose.
With the clear conciseness of which he
was master, he set forth the facts which
bore against the man, and then, seizing
two candebras from the table, he held
them up before him, throwing glare of
light upon his face, and exclaimed:
Behold the murderer, gentlemen"
Every eye was turned upon the
wretch's CHASTITY countenanee, which to
the excited multitude, seemed to wear the
very expression of convicted murderer.
The man reeled as though he had been
struck then shrunk away behind the
crowd, and rushed from the room. The
effect Of this incident was decisive. Col

WHEN NIGHT AND MORNING MEET.

Into the dark and narrow street,
Into a world Of wo,
Where the tread ofmany feet
When trampling to and fro,
A child WAS born tspeak low,)
When night and morning meet.
Full seventy summers back
Was this: so long ago,
The feet that wore the track
Are lying straight and lows
Yet is there still no lack
OF passers to and fro.
Within the narrow street,
This childhood ever played;
Beyond the narrow street
This manhood never strayedi
This age sat still and prayed
A-near the trampling feet.
The sound Of tramplng FEET
Flowed through his lie uu,tirred
Ply waters fall, or feet
Wild music, or the bird
At morn. The sounds are sweet,
But they were never heard.
Within the narrow street,
stood beside bed
lheld dying head,
When the night and morning meet;
And every word was sweet,
Though few the words we said.
And while we talked, dawn grew
To day Tho world was fair
IN fields afar, I knew;
Yer spoke not to him there
Orhow the grasses grew,
Besprcut with dewdrops rare.
Ispoke not Of the sun,
Nor Of this green earth fair,
This soul whose day was done
Haduever claimed its share
IN these, aud yet its rare
Rich heritage had won.
From the dark and narrow street
Into world Of love
A soul was born; speak low,
Speak reverent-lor we know
Not how they speak above,
When the night and morning meet.
