MischieviOus Old Errors.

In the midst of change, improvement
and reform, quite a number of question
able old notions continue to be followed
even now, whrn the very erroneous
character of some of them has been
generally acknowledged. OF this char
acter is the rigid adherence of drivers
of horses to that useless and injurious
rule of old times, the check.rein. Its
use with draft horses is positively cru
ell. When horse is drawing heavy
load, and particularly up hill, he needs
the utmost freedom of lungs aud wind
and this he can never have with tight
check-rein. That the check-rein pre-.
vents horse from stumbling is more
than doubtful on the contrary, by ele-
waiting his eyes, it prevents him from
seeing clearly where to place his foot.
When horse does stumble, he is far
less likely to go down when his head is
left free. In England, where they are
far ahead of us in everything pertain
ing to horses, the check-rein has been
abolished; the last surrender being
that of the artillery and commissarait
trains of the British army, the change
having been made by Sir George Bur-
goyne, the Commander in Chief, and
he testities to the beneficial effects at
tending it. In New York City many
of the finest equipages are driven with
out the check,rein, and few humane
people have also thrown it out of use
here. The old fashioned "blinkers," I"
or blind halters, are also useless, if not
positively injurious, by rubbing the
lids Of the horses eyes and many ex
perienced horsemen long ago came to
the conclusion that horses are more ea-
silly alarmed at what they hear and do
not see, because intelligent animals, if
they can fully see the objects, which
when unseen or imperfectly seen, tend
to frighten them, they are more readily
calmcd

A Good Word for Good HuniOr.

Every man should be sober some
time. 1 once knew man to be so I'M
fortunate as to be sober all the time,
and yet an honest man. We have
known men that never smiled, or sell
dom, whose mces were rigid as an iron
mask, and yet they were kind, simple
and really reliable.
But such are exceptional cases. Uni
form sobriety is presumptively very
much against man. He who gives no
play to the gentler feelings has some-
thing the matter with him that should
be looked into before he trusts him.
Mirth itself is not always honest.
But it tends to openness. Mirth has
better stuff in it to make man of than
sobriety has. 1t too, is used sometimes
as a mask for hypocrisy; but not half
as often as sobriety is Only consider
how many men, quite empty and
worthless inwardly, neither brave nor
fearful, are kept going by the mere
trick of gravity.
When some men come to you it is
like sunrise. Everything seems to take
new life and shines. Other men bring
night with them. The chill shadow of
their sobriety falls upon every innocept
gayety, and your feelings, like birds at
evening, stop singing and go to their
roosts.
Away with these fellows who go
growing through life, all the while
passing for birds of Paradise.
He that cannot laugh well and be gay
should look well to himself. He should
fast and pray until his face breaks forth
into light.

Unused Powers,

We seldom hear better sermon on
the duty of preparing for the "bourne
whence no traveller returns" than is
contained in the allegOry which relates
that man once fell through this world
into the next. There he discovered
that we retain those parts of ourselves,
and those only, which we have assid-
uously used here. Curious was the
spectacle presented TO his wondering
sight. He saw hundreds of hungry
looking ears. They were forever con-
gregating and hurrying hither and
thither. He was informed that on earth
these had done the hearing of church
music and church sermons; had cult
waited the listening faculty, and moth
ing else, so that they were now ears
and nothing more. He noticed big
stomachs lying about contentedly un-
der fences and trees, and was told that
these were persons who had chiefly
used their gastronomic powers-who
had assiduously guzzled at saloons, and
gormandized at restaurants. He be-
came interested in some large dolls,
with compilations like wax dolls, too,
that appeared to move their eyelids
languidly, and sometimes to cape.
These, he learned, were what remained
of ladies who had cultivated only good
looks. On inquiry for popular preach
er, he was conducted to place full OF
ears, where lively skeleton, without
vestige of heart or brain, WAS still
gesticulating impressively. Upon max
ing this discovery the man Immediately
telegraphed earthward as follows; 81
find that powers unused die out that
parts neglectoi fall away; that we are
allowed only to keep so much of our
selves as we use. Look out that you
do not end as a restless ear, as lazy
stomach, or as big bag of wind"

Little Feet.

In castle halls, or cottage homes,
Wherever guileless childhood roams,
o, there is nothing half so sweet
as busy tread of little feet.
The signing breeze, the oceans roar,
The purlirg rlll, the organs power,
All stir the soul, but none so deep
AS tiny tread of little feet.
When forth we go at early morn,
To meet the world and brave its scorn,
Adown the garden walks 50 neat,
We see the prints of little feet.
AT eve, when HON eward we repair,
With aching limbs and brow of care,
The voices ring out clear and sweet
Then comes the rush OF little feet.
The knives are lost, the dishes stray,
The tools are spirited away;
And when we go the lost to seek,
We take the trail of little feet.
But when the angel Death has come
And called the flowerets from our home,
Oppressive silence reigns completes;
We miss the sound of little feet,
Then tools are safe, no dishes stray,
No doors go slamming all the day;
But o, 'twould give us pleasure sweet
To hear again those noisy feet.
Soft night hath come; all are asleep;
Yes, all but mel vigil keep.
Hush hush! my heart, and cease to beat
Was that the step of little feet?
Yes, fearful mother, tits the tread
OF him you miss and mourn as dead;
And en- in your sweetest sleep,
You'll dream of hearing little feet.
And when this pilgrimage is DER,
And you approach that blissful shore,
The first to run your soul to greet,
VIII be your darling's little feet.
