Selecting q Horse.

A writer in the Country Gen.
Neman discourses Of horses as fol-
lows: 81 offer the following sug-
gestions, the result of close obser-
walton and long experience. IF
the color be light sorrel or ches-
nut, his feet, legs, and face white
these are marks of kindness
If he is broad and full between
the eyes, he may be depended on
as horse of good sense, and ca
pable of being trained to anything.
AS respects such horse, the more
kindly you treat them the better
you will be treated in return
Nor will a horse of this descrip-
tion stand a whip if well fed. If
you want a safe horse, avoid one
that's dish-faced. He may be so
far gentle as not to scare, but he
will have too much so ahead in
him to be safe with everybody
Ii you want tool but a horse OF
great bottom, get a deep bay, with
not a white hair about him. If
his face is little dished, SO much
the worse. Let no man ride such
a horse that is not an expert ri
der; they are always tricky and
unsafe. If you want one that
will never tire out, never buy an
overgrown one. A black horse
cannot stand heat, nor a white
one cold. If you want a gentle
horse, get one with more or less
white hair about the head, the
more the better. Selections thus
made are of great docility and
gentleness.

Our readers can imagine the
scene and the joy that followed
this speech of a wise and kind fa-
ther far better than we can des-
cribe them. The young man has
just finished years course at
school, where he has made won
derful progress. The father seems
proud of him, as he has found that
life in his new mansion on the
Hudson, with an accomplished
daughter who cannot sufficiently
express her gratitude for his kind
ness, and the occasional visits of a
noble minded young man who is
working his way up in the world,
is only a foretaste of elysium.-i
If other rich fathers would follow
bis example, there would be fewer
elopements and far less misery
than at present, and great many
happy hearts and happier homes.

CHILDREN GONE.
Sometimes, when the DAYS grow dusky.

Sometimes, when the days grow dusky,
And the stars begin to come,
When the children, from their PLAYING,
Come singingand laughing home,
think, with sudden sorrow,
AS they press through the open door,
Of the faces of the children
That we never shall see any more.
Children in snow white caskets,
Laid away to their rest,
Their hands still lying folded
Over the pulseless breast!
Children who came and tarried
As only it were for night,
And passed at the break of the morning,
On ajourney far out of sight.
On long and lonely journey,
Where we could not help or hold,
For we saw but the closing eye-lids,
The fading locks of gold,
And knew how now was but silence.
Where once had been prattle and song,
And only a child and a shadow.
Where was sunshine the whole day long.
Away from our care and caresses,
''God knows where they are," we say,
And we know we tsrry behind them
Only little way,
For we, too, haste in our Journey.
And we know it will not be long,
Till we come to the city eternal,
The rest and rapture of song.
Yet oft, when the sun is setting
In unspeakable splendor of light,
Or the day grows dim and dusky,
And the shadows stretch into the night,
When the children, tired with their playing
Comein through the open door,
think OF the dear, dear children,
Who nevor will come any more.
