How CRuIsER WAS TANED-Accompanied by one
individual alone, q nobleman Of indisputable nerve,
temper, and physical strength. Mr.. Rarey proceeded
10 the enccunter. Az we have heard the story told,
his iniunctions to his comrade were characteristic
enough. "Whatever happens. my lord" said he.
"a don't you speak or interfere; at least: not until you
zee me down under his feet, and him worrying me-
This compact made, he resoluseiy walked into the
arena, which consisted Of q loose box divided by q
half door of some four feet or more in height. Step
Ming Quietly M to this barrier he leaned his arm
upon il, % that it was just covered by the iron bar
that ran along the top, and looked hxedly at the
savage he intended 70 tame. Cruiser, from whom
muxzle, head stall, and all such impediments had
been removed, We believe by some mechanical ar
rangemenfs-6r none dare 60 near enough to touch
him-msde his usual dash ut the intrepid stranger,
to pounce ON him as a cat would on a mouse.
Rarey stood perfectly motionless. neither altering
his attitude nor the expression Of his countenance in
the slightest degree Thinking he had his enemy by
the arm, the horse seized and worried at the bar as
IL be would have bitten it through. Again and again
retiring for m impetus to the further corner. he
rushed At the mysterious stranger, actually scream
ing in the uncontrollable violence Of his rage Rarey
eustniusd shess successive charges with the same
sane-ffuid that he had shown at the commencement
Of the engagement. A length, amer more than an
hour Of this Wild scene, With its frantic fury on one
side, and it, calm scientific superiority on the other,
the redoubtable Cruiser, blown, exhausted, dripping
with sweat, and completely puzzled in his equine
mind as to the properties Of this figure, which he
could no longer believe TO be human, came quietly
close to il. and true to his nature, warped rs II was,
smelt 1t il, and touched il with his nose; then karey
threw open the halfdoor and walked boldly up to
him. The last sentence speaks volumes 1t was n
trait not Of the system, perhaps, 50 much as Of the
man But what confidence the man must have had
in his system, thus to preserve his GOODNESS and
eouanimity In . position which to every one but him

With a mystic, dreamy spell.

Distant streams were slowly singing
In deep and muffled strain ...
And the dews We're gently flinging
Pearls orsilver DER the plain.
Golden stars were quantity peeping
Thro' the curtains of the skies
And the roses, sweet, were sleeping
Meath the bree ezes lullabies.

On tho rivers silver tide.

other.
Yes; he has passed from death

his new birth, he united himself to
the church, and is now in fellowship
with III, saints"
What a blessed change~
"B!ess d, indeed. Another soul

company Of those who have washed
their robes, and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb. There is joy
in Heaven on his account"

"Of Fletcher Gray, believe" was

Few men stood more in need of
Christian graces," said |. "If he is,
indeed, numbered with The saints,
there is cause for rejoicing"

sentiments in this, and all like cases.
have learned to put small trust in
"profession;" to look past the Sunday
and prayer-meeting piety of people,
and to estimate religious quality by
the standard Of the Apostolic James.
There must be genuine love Of the
neighbor, before there can be love
of God; for neighborIy love is the
ground in which that higher and pu-
rer love takes root. 1t is all in vain
to talk of love as a mere ideal thing.
Love is an ac i've principle. and, ac-
cording to its quality, works. If the
love be heavenly, it will show itself
in good deeds to the neighbour; but ii
Internal. in acts of sellishness that dis.
regard the neighbor.
81 will observe this Mr.. Gray" said
|, as | walked hOmeward from the
company, sand see whether the report
touching him be true. II he is, in
deed, Christian as they affirm, the
Christian graces of meekness and
charity will blossom in his life, and
make all the air around him fra
grant"
Opportunity soon came. Fletcher
Gray was a storekeeper, and his life
in the world was, consequently, open
to the observation ofall men. He was
likewise a husband and father. His
relations were, therefore, of a charac.
ter to give, daily, test of his true
qnality.
1t was only the day after, that |
happened to meet Mr.. Gray under
circumstances favorable to observa-
ton. He came into the store OF a
merchant with whom | was transact
ing some business, and asked the
price of certain goods in the market.
| moved aside, and watched him mar.
rowly. There was a marked change
in the expression of his countenance
and in the tones of his voice. The
former had sober, almost solemn ex-
preston; the latter was subdued even
to plaintiveness. But, in little
while, these peculiarities gradually
disappeared, and ths aforetime Mr..
Gray stood there unchanged-un'
changed, not only in appearance but
