The Horse and the Umbrella.

A gentleman had highly valuable horse,
which, but for one thing, was perfectly safe
for his family. This alone made it impracti-
cable for his wife or daughters to drive her
She would always shy at an open umbrella
aud spring across the road. She was not
afraid of anything else, and, though spirited
was very gentle. He thought for some time
about curing this fear. He was unwilling to
whip the beautiful creature and besides, he
reasoned in this way, and very sensibly:
" That would not lessen her fear it would
only give her an additional cause Of terror
and she would try TO escape both by more
violent effort" But he concluded to give
the horse some pleasure with the very object
which had frightened her.
Horses are very fond Of potatoes as fond
as curly-heads are of candy. Fanny's owner
put several nicely washed potatoes into his
pocket, took an umbrella, and went into her
stall lie offered her potato on the point
of the closed umbrella, after giving her one
from his right hand holding the terrible OBJ
iect in the other. She was shy, but after
some hesitation took it of. Presently he gave
her another, having the umbrella slightly open
then little more open; and so on, till, after
a few lessons, always letting her have the
dainty,) she learned to connect it with the
umbrella, and would allow the latter to be
fured and unfurlod at her side, over ber head
or under her nose. Soon she liked te see her
friend bring an umbrella into her stable.
But how she would act when out Of it was
still a question. A rainy day soon decided
it, Fanny was harnessed, and as soon as she
saw a man approaching with an umbrella, the
roins being somewhat free, she went Of her
own accord towards it, no doubt expecting a
potato. She was rewarded with one on reach
ing home, and never afterwards SHE'D at an
umbrella.
This is only one of many instances of this
kind. The old saying, a Love is better than
fear" is as true Of dumb animals as Of human
beings.
A horse was cured of kicking by a simple
means. He had been whipped repeatedly,
and was nothing bettered but rather grew
worse. An old man suggested a way, and
the driver tried it, He took a barrel with
both heads in (therefore too strong to be de-
moished by the hoofs,) bored each head, and
passed a rope through, fastening the ends to
the harness, just behind the horse. OF course
he kicked, and he kicked half an hour stead
lily; but finding that nobody cared or made
any stir, he left of, once for all. There was
no trouble afterwards from his kicking in
harness.
Gentleness is better than anger, the rule oil
love better, wiser, snrer than that of fear.
Prevention, too, is better than cure. Almost
without exception, trick in an animal is
the result of bad or thoughtless management
at some ime-Merrys Museum.

The EmIgranps story.

The steeroge Of our ship was crowded with
passengers Of all ages, and before we had
been long at sea a malignant disease broke
out among the children on board One after
another sickened and died, and each was 10
its turn wrapped in its narrow shroud and
committed to the deep, with no requiem but
the bursting sigh Of fond mother, and no
obsequies but the tears Of fathers, and broth
ers and plying spectators. As they sud-
denly plunged into the sea, and the blue
waves closed over them, clasped my own
babe more strongly to my bosom, and prayed
that heaven might spare my only child. But
this was not to be. 1t sickened, and day by
day saw that its life was ebbing and the
work Of death begun. On Friday night it
died, aud TO avoid the necessity Of seeing
what was once so beautiful. and still so dear,
given to gorge the monsters Of the deep,
concealed its death from all around me. To
lul suspicion | gave evasive answers to those
who inquired after it, and folded it in my
arms, and sang to ii, as If my babe were only
sleeping for an hour, when the cold long
sleep Of death was on it, A weary day and
night had passed away, and the Sabbath
came. Like others, wore my neatest dress,
and put on a smiling face, but no II was a
heavy task, for felt my heart breaking. On
Monday the death Of the child could no longer
be concealed; but, from regard to my feelings,
the captain had il enclosed 10 a rude coffin
and promised TO keep it two days for burial
il in that time We should make land. The
coffin was placed in the boat which foatec
at the ships stern, and through the long
hours OF night | watched it, dark speck on
the waves which might shut it from sight
forever 1t was then thought Of my deai
cottage home, and my native land, and tn,
kind friends had left behind me, and longec
to miugle my tears with theirs. BY night
watched the coffin of my babe, and by da,
looked for the land raising my heart in praye
to Him who holds the winds in His hand, tha
they might wait US swiftly onward. On th
third morning. Just as the sun had risen, th,
fog lifted, and showed US the green shores o
New Brunswick. The ship was laid to ant

Mohammed All and the Apple.

Mohammed Ali once summoned council
Of his officers and advisers to deliberate on
the matter Of an important expedition. When
they came together he pointed to an apple
which lay on the floor of the divan. 1t had
been placed exactly on the centre of the large
carpet spread in the hall before them
e" Now" said he, " whoever Of you can, with
out placing his feet on the carpet where it lies,
reach and give me that apple, he shall COM
mand the expedition against Nigid." One
after another tried in vain, sprawling at full
length upon the carpet with their heels just
beyond its edge, and stretching out their arms
as far as possible The distance, however,
was too great, and the apple remained un.
grasped. At last the adopted brother of Mo-
hammed Ali, the short, stout Ibrahim, who,
from his shortness and stoutness, had less
chance than any one else, arose, bowed to
the pacha, and offered to execute the difficult
performance. All laughed, fully expecting
that he would make ridiculous failure.
This laughter soon, however, changed into
admiration when they saw lbrahim quietly
fold up the carpet until the apple was fairly
within his grasp. 1t was the very thing
which was so easy 10 be done, II they had
only thought of it. II was like Columbus
making the egg to stand by breaking in one
end or Alexander solving the Gordian knot
by the simple process of cutting it through.
Such device might not be the best way oi
choosing general for difficult undertaking
but il was congenial to the Oriental mind,
and was test Of that unexpected sort which
sometimes best brings out the tact or readi'
ness Of men. 1t was Characteristic Of Mo.
hammed Ali, and the penetrating qualities
by which he achieved so much.
