SMART CHILDREN

do not fancy preeooious children, for the
very reason that they are almost always in some
abnormal physical condition. II isn't natural
for child to be preooeious. A healthy, right
kind Of child is foolish and unrenecting at
best. You have to plant yourself plump against
their IRON little Wills and stout muscles. with a
still stoster will and stronger muscle. When you
reason with them your arguments meet shOal
logic. Tho verses you teach them and the bright
sayings they retail, are always part memorial
izings
The whole natural characteristic life Of q
child is noisy, rollicking, tumbliug, bruislug,
cracking, breaking. You endure their savage
presence for the hope you have in them. You
love them far more for what they will be than
for what they are to you. No; | do not want
any Of your proper children. Department is
more alien than oannibalism 10 their nature.

ment 10 them. Their arst falsehood Is AZ sure
as their first tooth, and the host OF them are
jealous aud envieus little reprobates.

RoMAMcE AND REALlrY.

The story OF Boz Brieoly in the play entitled
the "Tioket.of Leave Man. fnds curious H.
lu.tration from real life IN the following police
report, which appears in late English paper
''At tho Warwickshire sessions on the 10Th Of
October. George Haynes, twenty five, was
charged with having ut Siratfnrd. Avon, on
The 18th of August last, stolen two pounds
weight Of beef. The pritoner pleaded guilty,
and asked 10 make statement. The chairman
having remarked that he had been previously
sentenced TO penal servitude at Gloucester as
SIZES for hOusebreaklng, the prisoner said that
was really true. lie committed the offence when
he wns only thirteen years of age, and was sent
to G,hral'er TO The PENAL settlement there. After
having been imprisoned for three years and a
half his conduct Lad been SO satisfactory that he
had been Released upon ticket-of leave. lie
forthwith returned to England, aud did all he
could TO obtain an honest livelihood. After
working for four years in Warwick, during a
part Of that time he had attended regularly at
All Saints Church, Ems cote, md assisted in the
choir; he went to reside at SiratfOTI, got work,
and attended the parish church at Chailecote,
singing in the chor All things went on well
with him and with his family for long lime
One day one of tho Stratford police, named
| Weston, called upon hia, and asked if he had
ever been transported lie declined at first 10
answer the question but ultimately Gdmiited
| that such was she case From that time his
/ prospects were blighted. lie was dismissed from
the choir nj Carecole Church, and lost his
| place, In every way he WAS being hunted down
! and oppressed, At the lme he took the meat
his wife aud children were in starving condi.
tion, and he took the meat for them.
"Rev. Y. h. Dickens, of Emscote, sent letter
testiryug TO the prisoners character as being
honest, SOBER and in every way respectable. MIR.
| kynnersly expressed his deep regret at the

probable, the policeman had exceeded his duty,

THE CAVALRY HORSE.

The cavalry horse is quite az familiar with the
the long list Of various trumpet signals as the
rider himself he stops instantly when the sig

at him, and when he ascertains there is no hone
Of his remouutug, makes his way back to his
troop, wedges himself in his place in the ranks,
and shares afterwards in the movements OF the
rest. Music has an amazing influence over him.
If an air bO suddenly struck up, you will see the
woin-out and mortally tired horse raise his sick
head, prick up bis ears, become animated, and
move bTlskly forward to the front.

which 1t would be impossible to disentangle
men and horse side by side, the rider using his
horse as pillow, or rolling himself beside 1t to
shield himself from the cold. the faithful crea-
ture seldom changing the position il has once
taken. II il does SO, 1t is with the greateat pro-
caution; first II moves it's head and legs, en-
deayorng gently to free itself; then 1t rises or
turns itself very slowly and carefully, SO as not
to trample upon or disturb those who surround
IT, II the halt take place where the ground is
wet or frozen, the rider will gladly force his
horse to one side after it has lain down awhile,
which by that time Is warm IL not dry.
The most atiectionate relationship subsists be-
tween man aud horse, as the result Of their thus
living together. The animal seems to UNDER
stand everything connected with his rider; he
knows his masters step, his peculiar ways; knows
how to seek him out from among others; ia a
faithful disinterested companion and friend to
him. and has this advantage over many other
good comrade-that he does not grow weary
even OF suffering for him.
