of the corpse and the sad faces aud stiasd
sobs Of tie friends Of the q, pIrted, aided
TO ITS gloomy and wretchtd appearance.
Many Of the people who crowded into
the room where the corpse lay, had known
Nixon. Some must have held friendly rela-
tons with him aud have remembered him
with kindly feelings, for many Of the girls
and women sobbcI as they rassed by the
casket and looked for the last time at bis
features. The casket lay near tie window
and the bright, warm sunshine streamel
into the room. The rays Of the sun fell
upon a beautiful cross Of v bite flower,

face, that looked almost as white as the
towers. The expression was resigned and
sad; tie eyes were slightly opened and

Exercise for Horses

Dr.. " lthers, an eminent veterinarian Of
Chicago, says that exercise, when a horse
Is couvalcscing, is medicine; that without
it disease will be pcrpetuated and become
complicated. Therefore he believes the
only question to be, how much exercise do
cur horses demand? The answer to this,
OF course, VIII be that the amout Of exer.
else must be governed by the condition Of
the horse. Some are in such a tate thar
they demand Only walk up and down the
barn, while others are actually made frsky
by drive Of two miles or more. Now.
says Withcrs:
IF owners of horses will use judgment
III the amount Of exercise given to the an
imals, the effect Will be beneficial rather
than hurtfa!. The result of long expert
encc, and the present condition of the
horses, sustain this thecvy. Dropsy has
afflicted more animals which have been
withheld from labor, than those which
ha'e Oteu lehaIAcSseu anu put INTO lntlf
old tracks. 1t is disease which follows
N the wake Of every disease which tends
to thin, thsir hood, and eau easily be
avoided by judicicus treatment. Iiqza2s
must not be exercised too mucL--neither
too little so that if dropsy shall prevail to
any considerable extc-t, it will either be
the natural re>Il.s of the epizootic in those
horses which have weak constitutions. or
the result Of defective Judgment or abuse,
in giving ooDyalesoins animals too much
exeI else
