The nights they come and the nights they 60.
And the rosy twilights round them lie
And the stars are bright and the stars are
sweet,
And I sit in the silence and watch them meet;
But all the while my heart beats low,
For the moon is out of my sky!
The sea sons come and the seasons go
Spring 80 gay. and the winter so drear-
And 1 sit in the light of the golden hours,
And nicl, the blushing and beautiful flowers ;
But all the while my heart beats low,
For the May is out Of my years:
The mornings come and the mornings go
Yellow and purple, crimson and gray,
And the milkmaid sings. as she calls her cows
And the farm lad whistles the while he plows
But all the while my heart beats low,
For the lark, the lark is away!
The rain descends. and the gardens grow,
And the woodland moss m, kes green her bed
And the bushes are as full as bushes can hold
o. bells of silver and globes of gold;
But all the while my heart beats low.

And all the while my heart beats low.

: USEFUL DEPARTMENT.
How TO Control Vicious Horses.

3 the control that Mr.. Bonner has acquir-
ed over Decker is truly wonderful. Those
who have been acquainted with the horse
would not believe the change without see
ing it. As is well known, Dexter has al
ways been very free with his heels. His
PLAYFUL moods bordered on the vicious, and
he had a fashion of lashing out somewhat
savagely at those who came close to his
onuarters. For this reason strangers have
viewed him at a respectable distance, and
trainers have hand ed him with the utmost
caution. Notwithstanding he was ir Do
ble's hands so long, the driver never ven
tured to take any liberties with him, for it
is to be presumed that a horse so strongly
muscled can kick wi h unusual force. But
Mr.. Bonner is always good at experiments,
and by kind and firm measures he has
made himself master of the situation. We
saw him pinch Dexter on the tanks, rub
him on the inner surface of the thighs, and
then wind up by crawling under him and
between his legs. No one ever before dar-
ed to be SO familiar with his kingship, for
his playful moods were general y IN the
%asccndancy, and at times he was continual
" on the qui rive 10 land a foot in some
body's bread basket. You have Hamil
tonized him, have you not?" we asked. as
we saw M. B. taking these liberties with
the horse. Partially" was the brief but
smiling reply. @"Look at his head; see
how broad he is between the eyes. Dexter
is. horse of sense, and I have conquered
him, not by brute force, but by appealing
to his reason" A sound theory, simple as
true. When hooking him to a wagon, he
has always had a fashion of striking out
first with one foot and then with the other,
very often to the Inconvenience of grooms
and damage of wheels. But Mr.. Bonner
has thoroughly broken him of this habit.
WeSaw him stand Ike an old plough-horse
between the shafts while the traces were
fastened, And viewing these things, it &C.
cured to us no horse is naturally vicious
that he; is maze SO by treatment. And
when you find an animal seemingly vicious,
the surest way to conquer him is by gentlr
measures which appeal to his understand

Water for Horses.

Mr.. B. CARTRIDGE, of sheffield, a member
OF. the Royal Veterinary College, calls at
Atention to the very commons mistake made
by keepers OF horses in limiting the supply
of water to their animals. Many owners OF
horses, most grooms and others who have
them, profess, he says, ''to know how
much water a horse ought to be allowed !;
and, when d poor, thirsty, "oycrdriven ami
mai arrives at his jonrn y end, he is treat
ed to a limited supply, and the pail is taken
away before its necessity is half met. 1t is
"a mistaken notion thgt cold water frequent
;ly produces collie. 1 have known it to cure
the dis ease. When cold water does cause
abdominal pain, it is from long abstinence
and when the horse drinks to excess. But
even this is rare. I allow my horse to
drink from every trough | meet on the
road. if the water is clean, and, in my W
stud. I never had a case of collie. At home
my horses always have water Def re them.
"A fiiend OF mine, to whom the other day |
gave this advice, directed his servant to
adopt it. r The servant shook his head, and
said, he thought he knew as well as Mr..
Cartledge VIII n his, horses required water
and how much, The owner, in reply, told
his servant that might might be so, and he
must allow his horses to drink as often and
as freely as he did himself -English Far
