A Horse Advertisement.

A man in Wisconsin advertses his
horse for sale, and thus discourses:
Thou canst trust thy labor to him be-
cause his strength is great
Thou canst bind him with his band in
the furrow; he will harrow the yslleys af-
ter thee.
He will gather thy seed inlo the barn.
His strength is terrible, in which he re-
joicelh.
TIE glory Of his nostrils is his pride;
his neck is clothed with thunder.
He paweth in the valley, aud waxeth
proud in his speed.
He mocketh at fear; neither turneth he
his back from the hobgoblin.
Lo now, he moveth his tail like ce-
dar; his sinews are as cables
His bones are like strong pieces OF
brass, yea, like bars Of iron.
He eateth grass like an OK; behold he
drinketh up a river, and trustelh that he
can draw up Jordan in his mou'h.
Who can open the door of his face? yet
thou canst approach, him with bride.
His teeth are terrible round about.
l will NOT conceal his parts, nor his
power, nor his comely proportions.
'sHs is gentle, he Is kind,
And his tail sticks out behind"
And / want to sell him for something
