A Samaritan Horse.

The Turf, Fei!, and Farm relates the fol-
lowing good story, illustrating the sagacity
as well rs sympathetic nature Of the horse
Was he ''cOnverted?"
About year ago dog was set upon by a
crowd Of cruel boys, and peltcd with sticks
and stones. The poor dog had given no
ohense, but this mattered not. lie tried to
escape from his tormentors, and had nearly
succeeded in doing so, when stsnc hurled
with great violence struck him on the fore
leg, bruising the flesh and frac,urng the
bone. The animal howled pitcously, but
none OF his prosecutors went to his relief
Having injured him, they turned carelcssly
and coldly away, and left him to his fate.
The dog limpcd into the stable of Mr.. Ed
ward Fitzpatrick, moaning piteously. In one
OF the stalls of the stable was well-bred
young horse of more than ordinary intelli-
gence. 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 fore feet he pushed some clean straw into
one corner of his stall and made a soft bed,
on which the dog was induced to lay himself
down. a close AID atrectionate intimacy
was at once established between the horse and
the dog. The horse was being largely fed on
bran mash, and one day on receiving his
feed, thinking the dog might be hungry, the
equine bowed his head, caught the canine
gently by the skin of the neck, and with the
teeth lifted him into the trough or bcx. The
dog fell to with a will. which showed that
his hunger was great, and that his gratitude
was equal to his appetite. 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 brought together slept in the most low
ing manner. The horse would arrange . soft
bed for the dog, and then lie down and ten
derby encirclc the canine form with one of his
fore legs. 1t is seldom that such a beautiful
and authentic incident is brought to our no.
tice. 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 perse-
cution TO IFS heart and home, and tenderly
nursed the same back TO health and strength.
We claim to be practical rather than senu-
mental; still we cannot resist the thought
that the horse revealed more evidence of a
divine spirit than did the rude bows. who re-
ceive credit for having immortal souls.
While they reviled aud persecuted, he
played the part of the good Samaritan
and in so doing he developed power OF
thought and intelligence too b, Dad to occupy
the contracted sphere Of what we commonly
call instinct. The horse reasoned, and then
! acted like Christian.

Perhaps the sevcrcst criticism, in an cpl
srammatic form, passed on the mistakes OF
Napoleon Ill. was that Of Theirs There
are no more faults to commit
The Empress Eugene, supposng that the
Prince Imperial cvinced Il marked taste for
music, invited 4 teacher to the Tuicries.
When Napoleon learned from her who the
visitor was he said "Scnd him away: one
troubadour King is enough for Europe"-
abiding to the King of Bavaria, whose pas
sionatc love for music is well known.
The most toTgiving and patriotic supporter
of the late Emperor was perhaps old General
Changarnier. He was once the chief coun-
celor Of the Prince-Presidcnt, but fell into
distavor, and was among the imprisoned Of
iiccrs at the coup d'etat. When, however.
the country was in danger, this veteran of
eighty years joined the army, and vowed his
fidelity to the Empire, and was true to the
last.
When the terrible responsibility Of dcclar-
ing war devolyed upon Napoleon ILL.,, be
showed his characteristic want of nerve at
critical moments. The formal declaration OF
hostilties was drawn up and signed on the
18th Of July, but through hcsitancy upon the
part of the Emperor, the document was not
made public until twenty four hours later
This fact was learned at the Prussian head
quarters from private papers which fell into
the hands Of the Germans.
Appeals 10 the susceptibilitics Of the French
people regarding his great uncle were in early
life potent means, with Louis Napoleon, OF
promoting his own popularity. Thus, in 1899
he ieelingly wrote Of the great Emperor
/ THE lightning flashed once morc-but soon
came Waterloo. Here every French voice is
choked, and finds only tears--tears for the
vanquished and tears for the victors, who will
sooner or later regret the overthrow of the
only man who could mediate between the
two hostile ages"
In his '.Napoleonic IDEAS which the ex-
Emperor published in 1899, lie foreshaIovcd
for the United States a grander destiny than
he was willing to concede atterwaTf when
misled by the phantom OF 4 Mexican Empire.
His words in 1889 were, providence has
committed 10 the United States OF America
the charge OF peop.in. and Of subdg.n. t.
CIVILIZATION all that immense territory wA,cii
extends from the Atlantic TO the Pacific
Ocean. and from the north pole 10 the eqga-
tor. Their Government, which Is a simple
administration, has had, up to the presen,
time, but to put in practice the old adage-
Laisse- far, laisssz pdsseT-in order 10 favor
that invisible instinct which urges the popu-
lation OF the United States toward the
West.'
Prince Napoleon was regarded with de.
gree Of disfavor by the late Emperor which
the Empress labo.ed to increase. During
what was probably the last visit oil the Prince
10 the imperial exile Of Chiselhurst, he spoke
harshly of the different ministries Of the las;
month of the Empire, and went SO far a. Il
pronounce one Of them a ministry Of idiots
| THIS provoked sharp reply from the I'm.
press. II know not" she said, "shat you
mean by ministry Of idiots, but what dc
know is, that down To the last moment tbs
| Emperor was served by devoted and faithful
