THE PARTING HOUR.

There's something in the '.parling hour
Will Chill the warmest hsart-
Yet kindred, comrades, lovers, friends,
Are fated al 10 part
But this I've seen-and many pang
Has pressed it on my mind
The one who goes is happier
Than those we leave behind.
No matter what the journey be;
Adventurous, dangerous far,
To the wild, deep, or bleak frontier,
To solitude, or war
In all of human kind,
And they who go are happier
Than those they leave behind?
TIL bride goes TO the bridegroom's home
With doubtings and with tears,
But does not Hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fears?
Alas the mother WHO remains,
What comfort can she find,
But this-ths gone are happier
Than those they leave behind?
Have you fricnd-a comrade dear
An old and valued friend?
Be sure your term Of sweet concourse
At length will have end
And when you part-as part you will
0 take it not unkind,
If he who goes is happier
Than vou he leaves he hind
God wills it so-aDd so it is;
The pilgrims their way,
Though weak and w orn, more cheerful are
Than all the rest who stay.
And when at last, poor man subdued,
Lies down te earth resigned,
May he not still be happier far
Than these he leaves behind?

MANAGEMENT OF RALKY HORSES

The first aud better way. is never TO have
ba!ky horse. If horses are handled prog
erly. they will never balk. After a horse has
been ''fooled," as horsemcn very properly
say, where good horse baiks. it will require
a vast amount OF cautious management to cor
rect the bad habit Horses are taught to
bali. by stupid and cruel drivers, who have
really less good sense than the animal they

m;.naged SO improperly that they soon be-
come almost ineorli-ibe bakers; whereas, if

aged he will drag with, all his might. trot or
run as his driver may indicate, until he drops
his harness from utter exhaustion After a
horse has really contracted the habit of balk- :
ing, the vice can be corrected only BY kind
ness aud gentle treatment The more he is
whipped kicked, dubbed and handled rough
lf, the more obstinate he will be- Hence
throw away whips ard clubs, and let the gen-
tie treatment bear rule. Then, beware Of over
loading. A person can coar out Of u horse a
service that whips and kicks never can sc~
cure, Always provide some apraas to enable
a team to start a heaey load easily Avoid
stopping, if possible, where it will be difficult
to start. 1t is better to let team stop for
moment, ten times when hauling a load up
slope. than to allow it to slap in place where
it would be difficult to start. The writer
once was accustomed to carry pieces Of plank
to the field for the wheels Of the wagon to
rest upon. while it Was bein. loaded with po-
tatoes or coru. SO that The team wouid move

Cart" says Bettino, s'is the body of
music, which is the soul of every art. p
Music, is not poetry; but it is the spirit
which inspires the poet Music is not ell
oquence; but it is the melody which per-
vades all persuasive utterances. Music is
not painting; but it is the light which
shines through the colQrs Of Raphael, Ii
tan, and Tintorett1. Music is not sculp-
ture but it is the modest beauty that
clothes the Venus de Medici, and the mai
e ty that stands confessed in the Apollo
l5elvidere. Music is not arcf itecture; yet
without some Orpheus, no Moes Hadriani,
no BosiliQs Fatioana, had reared itself
| aloft. an immortal song in marble Music
is the feminine principle of all things, per
vading all space. informing all life, whis-
pering in the zephyr, laundering through
the forest, and playing its symphonies over
the sea. Music is the art Of prophets, the
pastlme of seraphin, and the glory Of God S
redeemed Church. When its spell is upon
the spirit, the stormy passions are laid
asleep, and the better parts Of our nature
awake, and sweet memories of youth and
home revive, and eyes beam tendery on
us which have long been quenched in death
