S;TIRRrPs.-Riding on horseback was com
lnon in the East in very early times, and
large bodies Of cavalry were used in war
more than three thousand years ago. Fifty
thousand horsemen, according to Joscphus,
followed the lSraelites into the Red Sea.
Alexander the Great owed his most i'm
portnnt victories to his Thcssalian cavalry.
1t was to his cavalry that Hannibal owed
his greatest successes. Fabius the Dc
layer, who took command of the Roman
army after the defeat of the Thrasimene
Lake, kept his troops on high and I'M
even ground to avoid the Carthagenian
horse, and thus saved Rome. Among an
Gent nations generally, so far as we
know, cavalry WAS much more mpor-
tant arm of the service than it is at the
present day. Yet saddles and stlrrups are
said to be comparatively modern inventions.
Beckman has thought the history OF these
two articles Of horse equipment important
enough to occupy place in hls " history
Of Inventions, Discoveries, and Origins"
lie could find no certain account OF stlrrups
before the sixth century of our era. Sad
dies, lie thinks, may have been III use two
centuries earlier. Coverings for the backs
of horses we're used by the ancient Per-
slams and by several other nations of an
tiuuity. But those coverings, as it appears,
never suggested to any Eastern people the
idea of saddle.-OW Boys and Girls.

A STRIKING ILLuSTRATI0N.-Ar returned
missionary from India, in showing the pro-
prcss Of the Gospel in that country: uses
the following language: " IN India | have
often been brought to n temple that had
been built entirely of stone, not having
particle Of wood in it, and built evidently To
endure rs long rs the earth itself, the whole
surface of the outside walls being covered
with the most elaborate sculpturlng, the
greatest pains and expense having been be
slowed upon it. That temple now seems to
stand rs firmly as it did nine centuries ago,
when il was erected. But what do we sec
ut this day? Some bird, feeding upon the
fruit of the banyan tree, has taken seed
after seed and deposited it upon the top OF
the building without effect: but IN the course
of time Il little soil has gathered there and
given nourishncnt to one OF those seeds,
and We see the temple covered with luXu-
RANT foliage, the roots going down IN their
course to the ground, seeking n0urlshmcnt,
getting into every crevice, rending stone
from stone; and We know now that the quiet
expansion of that seed will eventually bring
the whole temple to inevitable destruction.
So it will be with hcatheniSm in India.
This incorruptiblc seed Of the word OF God
is working, not the less powerfully nor the
less certainly for its silent and undemon-
stratiye character. | know that it is now
entering the native mind entering all the
crcyiccs of society, and believe that ere
long the whole system Of hcathenism will
he rent asunder and come to the ground
and Christianity be established upon its
ruins"

STRANGE DISCOVERY on THE CONNECT
CUT.-A valuable discovery was strangely
made a short time since on the banks OF
the Connecticut river three miles from
Middletown.
A gentleman living in the neighborhood
went out cunning on the 4th instant, and in
the course of his perambulations reached
the river bank. All Of sudden it gave
way beneath him, and he slid down the
slope forty feet, feeling at the same time
that he was sinking into the sand. He
thought it quicksand deposit, and gave
himself up for lost, but he slid down safely
with his gun, sinking in, however, above
his knees.
After getting up. and shaking off the fine
soil, he next thought Of cleaning out his
gun, for in his fall it had become filled and
covered with sand. What was his surprise
to find that in wipng off the barrel he had
polished it up bright 1t Immediately &C.
Cured to him that it was emory, and that
somebody would make fortune.
Off he starts, post haste, to the owner of
the land.
How much do you want for that bit of
land of YOURS on the bank ?" Well, /
paid $300-you can have it for 5000, |
guess" "Done!" Sure enough it was
iirst-rate emory, of which there is only one
bank there, discovered since by the same
man. Emory is very valuable, and most of
it is imported. The Fourth of July ram
bier has to thank Dame Fortune for being
very good to him. The deposit is quite
large
