A Charitable World.

1t is Il temptation to Il temperate
man to become Il sot. TO hear what tai
ent, what versatility, what genius is
almost always attributed to moder-
atelv-hright man who is habitually
drunk. such a mechanic. such math-
ematician. such Il poet us he would he.
if he were only sober: and then he is
sure to be the most generous. magnani
nous. friendly soul. couscientiously hon
orahle, if he were not so conscientiously
drunk. | suppose it is now notorious
that the most brilliant and promising
men have been lost to the world in this
way. 1t is sometimes almost painful to
think what surplus of talent and ge-
Mus there would be in the world if the
habit of intUXication should suddenly
cease: and what Il slim chance there
would he for the plodding people who
have always had tolerablv good habits.
The fear is only mitigatcd 10y the Oh
ServatInn that the reputation of Il per
son for great talent sometimes ceases
with his reformation.
1t is believed 10y some that the maid
ems who would make the hest wives
never marry, but remain free, to bless
the world with their impartial sweet
ness and make ii generally habitahle.
This is one of the mysteries of Provi-
dence and New England life. 1t seems
Il pity. 1T first sight. that all those who
hccomc poor wives have the matrimo-
NAL chance. and that they are deprived
of the reputation OF those h" would he
gaod wives We're they no; ST apart for
the high and perpetual office of priest
cS>cS of society. There is no beauty
like that which WAS spoiled 10 accident,
II" accomplishments and grares are so
to Ice cnvicd a> those that circumstances
rudely hindered the development Of
All of which shows what charitable
and good-tempercd world it is. notwith-
standing its reputation for cynicism and
detraetion. Charles Dudley Warner. in

The intelligent horse very often SYM
pathizes with animals in distress. About
a year ago, q dog was set upon by a
crowd, of cruel boys, and pelted with
sticks and stones. The poor dog mad
given no offense, but this mattcred not.
He tried to escape from his tormentors,
and had nearly succeeded in doing so,
when a stone hurled with great violence
struck him on the fore.leg, bruising the
flesh and fracturing the bone. The
animal howled piteously, but none of
his prosecutors went to his relief. HAv-
ing injured him, they turned carelessly
and coldly away, and left him to his
fate. The dog limped into the stable of
Mr.. Edward fitzpatrick, moaning pit
eously. In one of the stalls Of tho
stable was a well bred young horse of
more than ordinary intelligence. The
distress of the dog seemed to move the
heart of the horse to pity. He bent
his head, caressed the canine, and care
fully inspected the broken leg. Then
with his forefeet he pushed some clean
straw into one corner of his stall and
made soft bed on which the dog was
induced to lay himself down. A close
and affectionate intimacy was at once
established between the horse and the
dog. The horse was being largely fed
on bran mash, and one day when re-
ceiving his feed, thinking the dog
might be hungry, the equine bowed
his mead, ca light the canine. gently by
the skin OF the neck, and with the
teeth lifted him into the trough or box.
The dog fell to with a hearty will, which
showed that his hunger was great, and
that his gratitude was equal to his ap-
petite. Days and weeks passed, and
the dog and horse continued firm
friends. The bran. mash fed them both,
and the invalid grew strong and fat on
the wholesome diet. AT night the two
animals thus strangely brought together
slept in the most loving manner. The
horse would arrange soft bed for the
dog, and then lay down and tenderly
encircle the canine form with one of
his forelegs. 1t is seldom that such
beautiful and authentic incident is
brought TO our notice. The horse
showed for the unfortunate more of that
feeling which we term humanity than
did the dozen lusty youths, who were
presumed to walk in the image Of their
God. Nay, it took the poor victim of
mans persecution TO it's heart and
home, and tenderly nursed the same
back to strength and health. We claim
to be practical, rather than sentimental,
still we cannot resist the thought that
the horse revealed more evidences Of q
divine spirit than did the rude boys
who receive credit for having immortal
souls. While they reviled and perse-
cuted, he played the part of the good
Samaritan and in doing SO he devel-
oped q power of thought and intelli-
gence too broad to occupy the con-
tracted sphere. of what we commonly
call instinct. The horse reasoned, and
then acted like Christianity Field
and Farm. - ...
