Grass for Horses.

Many think that horses that
are kept in the stable ali the sum-
mer should not be allowed to eas
grass. They think it will make
the horse soft, wishy,washy, and
that it will throw him out of con-
dition for hard work. This is par
ticularly the case with some of
the trainers of trotting and rune
ming horses. And horses that
are kept up for farm and other
work are refused grass because
the driver thinks they will not eat
hay so well. This was formerly
more than it is now. But these are
erroneous opinions and practices,
and are giving away, gradually, to
a more reasonable and natural syss
TEN of feeding. Grass is the nat
ural food of the horse. 1t keeps
the bowels open and sharpens the
appetite. 1t promotes Digestion
and removes fever from the sys~
TEN. Therefore, by ell means,
let the horse nip grass fifteen or
twenty minutes daily. Whether
training for trotting or not, will be
attended with the highest benefit.
The horse will lose none of his
speed by such a course of treat
ment. Horses that are kept up,
the year round for farm work
should certainly be allowed nice
nibble at grass every day. They
work hard, and all they get for it is
something to eat. Let them have,
then, what they all like so well.

he refuses, but afterwards grants
it, provided the Confederate but
tons are removed from his coat.
He even sends his clerk to see
that the buttons are cut off"

Pope and the Schoolboys.

Gen. Pope, as we stated the
other day, says the National In
telligencer, ordered the closing of
the Georgia University during the
commencement exercises, and the
forfeiture Of $4,000 given by the
State Of Georgia to the Universi-
ty; and all this ON account of a
speech of one of the schoolboys.
He afterwards graciously consent
ed that the doors of the Universi-
ty should be opened upon condi-
ton that no allusion should be
made by the newspapers to the
schoolboEs obnoxious speech, but
he wouldn't consent, On any con-
dition, that the State donation
should go to the University. He
allowed the commencement exer-
cises to go on without waiting to
hear from the newspapers, taking
it for granted that they would not
dare to disregard his exacting
conditions. But they were not
controlled as easily as he thought
they would be. They have COM
mented in the most manly and
Independent style upon the school
boys speech, which they applaud; /;
upon Pope's action, which they
treat with indignation and scorn.
We wonder what the satrap will
do about it. 1t won't do at all
for a satrap to back out, or be
backed out from anything. 1t
would bring satraps and satrapy,
and every thing satrapist, into
contempt. The fate of five sa-
trapies, old Pope, depends upon
your energy. Be. resolute! Be
fierce! Be terrible!

THE LOVE KNOT.

Tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied her raven rlnglets in,
But not alone in the silken snare,
Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For tviny her bonnet under her chin,
She tied yeung man s heart within.
They were strolling up the hill,
When the wind comes blowing merry and chill
And it blew the curls frolicsoIne race,
All over the happy, peach-colored face,
Till, scolding and laughing, she tied them in
Under her beautiful dimpled chin.
And it blew a color, bright as the bloom
Of the pinkiest fuschias' tossing plume,
All over thecheeks of the prettiest girl
That ever imprisoned romping curl;
Or, in tying her bonnet underther chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
Sleeper and sleeper grew the hill
Madder, merrier, chillier still,
The western wind blew down and played
The widest tricks with the little maid,
As, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
Oh, western wind, do you think it was fair
To play such tricks with her floating hair!
To gladly, gleefully, do your best
To blow her against the young mans breast
W here he as gladly folded her in,
And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin?
Oh, Elery yane, you little thought,
An hour ago, when you besought
This country lass to walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
What perilous danger you'd be in,
As she tied her bonnet under her chin.

New Way of Conducting
Law Suit.

| Judge R relates the fol
lowing incident as occurring In his
practice:
He was trying petty case, in
which one of the parties was not
able to pay counsel fees, and un-
dertook to plead his own cause
But he found, in the course of the
trial, that the keen adroit attorney
who managed the case for the
other party was too much for him
in legal strategy, evidently making
the worst appear the better cause.
The poor man, Mr.. A., was
in state of mind bordering on
desperation, when the opposing
counsel closed his plea, and the
case was about to be submitted to
the Justice for decision. ''May it
please your Honor" said the man,
"may l pray2"
The Judge was taken somewhat
by surprise, and could only say
that he saw no objection. Where
upon Mr.. A went down on
his knees, and made a fervent
prayer, In which he laid the mer-
It's of his case before the Lord in
a very clear and methodical state
mentof all the particulars, pleading
that right and justice might pre-
vail. 80 Lord, thou knowest
this lawyer has misrepresented the
facts, and thou knowest it is SO and
so"-to the end of the chapter. Ar
guments which he could not pre-
sent in logical array to the under
standing of men, he had no diff
Guilty in addressing to the Lord,
being evidently better versed in
praying than pettifogging. When
he arose from his knees, Esquire
W, the opposing counsel,
very much exasperated by the
turn which the case had taken,
said: "Mr. Justice, does not the
closing argument belong to me?"
Esquire W was in the habit
of praying at home, but, not see
ing the propriety of connecting
his prayer with his practice, wise
ly forbore, leaving poor Mr.. A.
to win the case, which he did by
this novel mode of presenting it.
