doxy of the following passage, from one Of
Beecher's sermons, but will cheerfully en-
dure the penalty annexed to the propsga-
ton Of heresy. if it be heresy, and give il
the farthest reach of our circulation:
"This view interprets, too, what is

cloud, far 10 the horizon. But though
my memory of her form has SO faded

and in this form the resolution was
adopted.
BY the Bobtail Black
Reso,yed, That it is an abridgement oi
our own natural rights to curtaa us'at one
end and tie the other, while the flies are
suffered 10 suck our blood. Carried with
much unanimity.
BY the Black Pony
Resolved, That these flies bite like
Objected to by the Deacon's Yellow
Mare. (The Pony had been brought up
in livery stable where his morale had
been sadly neglected. The little Sorrel
said the Pony was right. The Old Dun
thought the language too strong for the
place, but would vote for it any other day
but Sunday. The Big Gray moved to
strike out all after Resol0ed, and insert,
'that these flies have the faculty of caus-
ing the members of this convention, and
our race generally, much pain and annoy
ance."
At this the Pony fairly kicked one leg
over the shaft, and bit splinter from a
rail. He said: .,.
Mr.. Chairman, the horse just up is an
old logy; go for calling things by their
right names. This standing up here in
such weather is id outrage, which no
Christian horse could endure. Master is
in there on his soft cushions, hearing Sha-
drach, etc., in the fiery furnace, that did
not burn them whit, while we stand
here in fiery furnace that does nearly
take the hair of, and are tormented by flies
to boot! I protest against Dun's milk
and water substitute, and c,ll for the pre-
vious question on my resolution.
This was seconded by the Bobtail Black.
Little Sorrel and Dapple Gray, and the
resolution was carried by large majority.
The Cream announced that the commit
tee on platform was ready to report, and
presented the following:
lst. Since the horses are deprived OF
their natural defenses, they should be
effeotually secured against flies, ETC., while
confined in harness.
I'd. No good Christian will leave his
horse tied in the sun, upon paving stones,
when there is shade and soft ground
within fifty yards.
Sd. The man who keeps a check rein
bitched up, while the horse is waiting by
The hour, ought to 20 TO the place we read
of. ...
4th. The provisions Of the Golden Rule
should be construed 80 as to applysto
horses as we'll as men.
This platform was adopted by a unani-
nous neigh, and the Secretary was ordered
to furnish a copy to every horse congre-
CATION in the city for ratification, with the
request that the subject be acted upon next
Sunday.
Just then the people began to come out
of the church. The little Black tossed his
head and gave the Chestnut wicked leer.
The Yellow Mare wnnied for her colt, the
Pony champed his bit sulkily, but all were
so glad to get away that they moved of
at the word, and guess this convention,
like many others, will end only in talk
However, if no reform is effected in short

Su Alay DGi1Igs Among Horses

Our parson is one of the kind who gives
the people the worth of their money, so he
gets up pretty extensive sermons for such
hot days Last Sunday sat till he got to
llthly. and, by that time, got as dry as
a contribution box; SO stepped out to get
drink at the pump. The meeting house
is on the corner. and the horses are hitched
along on both sides.
AS l went out, saw something was on
foot among the nags; most Of them had
their ears back. and were showing their
teeth. and stamping in anything but re-
ligious mood. When got my fluid
down 1 stopped to investigate the distur-
bance among the horses, and as l knew
horse-latin, sat down on the steps to take
notes.
All outside the rails and hitching post,
in paved gutter, each beating tattoo
with quartette of iron hoots, which at
first thought would be more profitable for
the black NTH and farrier, than for the
owner; but as The owners were mostly rich,
it was none of my business.
The little Black reached his head over
to the little Chestnut and whispered some,
thing; when the Chestnut moved the
meeting be organized, by calling the Big
Bay to the chair. This motion was car.
ried, and the chairman, proceeded to state
the object of the meeting as follows:
FELLOW HoRsEs:-We have now or.
ganzed ourselves into convention for the
purpose of peaceably discussing our grie
vance>, in accordance with the republican
character of our inalienabe rights. W.

hot weather, upon pavement of villainous
boulders, exposed to the heat of mid
summer sun and the bites of merciless
flies. Many of US have not stitch of fiy
net to our backs, and all of US have beer
more or less incapacitated from protecting
ourselves, by having our tails clipped, Il
crafty an uuseemly fashion, which neither
our masters nor mistIesses seemed dis
posed TO honor at this time in their out
ward combinations. Besides, our check
reius are left tied SO tight that we canno
bite q fly from our shoulders, or ease ou
aching muscles single minute. In view
oi these abuses, we feel that our condition
calls loudly for redress, and hope this con
vention will devise some means of relief
The Black then nominated the Chestnu
as Secretary, which WAS agreed on.

While this committee was consulting to

Ter poet OF Now England:
MY PSALM.
BY J. @. WHITTIER.
Imourn no more my vanished years;
Beneath tender rain,
An April rain Of smiles and tears,
My heart Is young again.
Tho west winds blow, and, singing low,
hear the glad streams run;
The windows Of my soal throw
Wide open to the sun.
No longer forward nor behind
look In hope and fear;
But, grateful, take the good l find,
The best of now and here.
Iplough no more desert land,
To harvest weed and tare;
The mamma dropping from Gods hand,
Rebukes my painful care.
break my pilgrim staff, lay
Aside the toiiing oar;
The angel sought so far away
l welcome at my door.
The airs of spring may play
Among the ripe ming corn,
Nor freshness of the flowers of May
Blow through the Autumn morn.
Through fringed lids TO heaven,
And the pale aster in the brook
Shall see its image given;
The woods shall wear their robes of praise,
The south wind softly sigh,
And sweet, calm days In golden haze
Melt down the amber sky.
Not less shall manly deed and word
Rebuke an age Of wrong;
The craven flowers that wreath the sword
Make not the blades less strong.
But smiting hands shall learn to heal,
To build as to destroy;
Nor less my heart for others feel
That the more enjoy.
All as God wills, who wisely heeds
To give or to withhold,
And knoweth more of all my needs
Than all my pray ers have told!
Enough that blessings undeserved
Have marked my erring track
That wheresoe'cr my feet have sweryed,
His Christening turned me buck
That more and moro a Providence
OF love Is understood,
Making the springs Of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good
That death seems but covered way
" hich opens INTO light,
W herein no blinded child can stray
Beyond the Fathers sight
That care and trial seems t last,
Through Memcry' ss sunset air,
Like mountuiR-ranges overpast,
In purple distance fuir-
That all the jarrng notes Of life
Seem blending in psalm,
And all the angels Of its strife
Slow rounding into calm.
And 80 the shadows fall apart,
aud so the west winds play;
Aud all The windows Of my lisart
| open 10 the day.
