THE CAVALRY HORSE.

The cavalry horse is quite as familiar with
the long list OF varying trumpet signals as
the rider himself; no stops instantly when
tn" signal for hating is sounded; passes
from walk to trot, from trot to galop,
without requiring any reminder from spur
or rein. Ii his lider fall in battle, or lose
stlrrupS, he stops in moment, and waits for
him; II he remain lying on the ground, he
stoops bis head, smells at him, and when he
aseertains that there is no hope Of his re-
mounting, makes his way back to the troop,
wedges himself into his place in the ranks,
and shares afterwards in the movements of
the rest. Music has an amazing influence
over him. Ii an air DO suddenly struck up
you Will see the worn out and MORALLY tired
horse raise his head prick up his cars, be.
come animated, and move briskly forward to
tho front.
During a halt, or when quartored for the
night, the cavalry division stretched out on
the ground, lies sleeping confuscdly together,
jumbed mass, which it would be imposs-
BILE 70 disentangle; man and horse side by
side, the rider using his horse as pillow, or
rolling himself beside it to shield himself
from the cold, the faithful creature seldom
changing the position it has once taken. IL
It did so, il is with the greatest precaution {;
first it moves its head and legs, endeayoring
gently to free itself; then it raises or turns
itself very slowly or carefully, so az not to
trample upon or disturb those who surround
it. If the halt takes place when 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 affcctonate relationship subsis,s
between man and horse, as the result OF their
thus living together. The animal seems to
understand everything connected with his
rider he knows his masters step, his pecu.
liar ways; knows how to seek him out from
among others; is a faithful, disintercsted
companion and friend to him, and has this
advantage over many another good comradc
that he does not grow weary even of SUI.

HORRORS or TIE SITUATION.

What moment was that succeeding tbs

the mangled and bleeding corpse of your
friend, the fearful uncertainty as TO the fatc
Of those on board whom you loved the con
