Breaking a Horse S Heart.

A term which has been taken with 6
great deal OF allowance when applied
to any disaster in the human family
has now an accepted place in the voca-
bulaIy of those who indulge in "hors
talk. King Richard says; "They say
women's hearts are easily broken-I
find them tough enough On the turf
horses heart is said to be broken when
he is excelled by another horse while
doing his level best, if that horse, so
excelled, does not make powerful and
continued effort to turn the scales again.
For instance, they say, if "Occident
has leading race he does well enough,
and therefore Brown Dick was not
allowed to pass him in his great trial ;
but if Brown Dick or any other horse
should pass the California champion
while extending himself to his utmost,
it would "break his heart" and he
would cease to make the necessary ex-
ertion to keep up the same rate OF speed.
To this k owledge of the weakness Of
other horses the little Goldsmith
Maid " owed the most of her triumphs
for it is now generally understood
that she drives herself with as much in
telligence as any human who can sit
behind her. Mr.. Collins, thorough
admirer of good horses, followed the
little "Maid" through one campaign
| in the eastern cities, and there disoov.
cred that the mare allowed her compe-
titor to have leading race until after
passing the three-quarter pole, and then
she went forward with her tremendous
burst of speed, held in reserve for this
emergency, and by so easily excelline
that competitor produced that sensation
which turimen cau breaking th,
heart. She, herself, had to undergo
these trials till she learned the trick
and now ahe playa Il on the othara. :

Not for Light Reasons.

In a recent lecture on marriage, "
Mr. Chas. G.. Ames compressed much
truth and common sense in the follow
ing terms " In class Of cases sepa.
ration is right and necessary. It ia too
loose and vague to say that incompati
bility" is sufficient ground for divorce.
There are all degrees OF incompatibility,
and nearly every union is marred
by some degree Of it, But where this
iucompatibility is deep-seated, radical
and incurable, SO that neither can be to
the other more than n dog is to a cat or
bird to q beast where one party
proves hopelessly lost in loathsome per
sonal vices, where one party is persis
tently faithless to all that is meant by
marriage; where all means of com.
ing into kindly relations have been
thoroughly tried and have thor
ougliy failed and where the yoke
is chronic agony and disqual tication
for all life; in such cases / think it is
an awful crime not TO separate. But
this will not often happen, unless one
party or the other has fallen very low.
Not for light reasons, not in haste, even
for reasons, should law, public opinion,
or private practice, consent to the de-
struction of a household once formed.
The talk Of divorce whenever there
is difficulty, is like sending for
the graye-digger whenever there is
sickness. We do not give up even
when the doctor says no hope We
send for the other doctors, we fan the
last spark and when all is over, we
place a hand on the still heart and ask
if its warmth must forever depart.
Nor do We then hasten to bury till the
dead threatens pestilonce to the living.
In this spirit We must treat the disor-
iers to which the married state is al
ways liable; grudging no pains by
which harmony might be restored !;
welcoming every symptom of conyales-
c nee saying or doing nothing to ag-
gravate or irritate hoping against hope
to the last never 80 much as alluding
toa fatal termination till the last throb
of mutual interest has ceased, and the
moral health of household and c0mmu-
nifty command to bury the dead mar.

The Invention of the Steamboat

In an article From the Potomac TO
the Ohio, in Lippincotta Magazine for
October, occurs this paragraph:
"When the little harbor at the mouth
OF Sir Johns run was still more wild
and lonely than now, James Rumsez, q
working bath-tender at Berkely springs,
launched upon it boat that he had in
vented OF novel principle and propul.
i've force. The force was steam, and
Rumsey mad shown his model to Wash
ington in 1880 First discoYerers of
steam Iocomotion are turning up every
few months in embarrassing numbers,
but we cannot feel that We have a right
TO suppress the claims of honest Rum
sey, the protege Of Washington. The
dates are said to be as follows Rum
sey launched his steamboat here at Sir
Johns run in 1874, before the general
and @ throug Of visitors from the
springs in 17ss, John Fitch launched
another first steamboat on the Delaware,
and sent it successfully up to Burlirg-
ton; in 1907, Robert Fulton set third
first steamboat On the Hudson, the Cler-
mont Rumseys motion was obtained
by the reaction OF current sguirted
through tue stern Of the boat against
the water of the river, the current be-
ing pumped by steam. This action, SO
primitive, 30 remote from the principle
of the engine now used, seems hardly
worthy to b. connected with the great
revolutionary invention OF s.eam.travel;
vet Washington certified his opinion
that 1.-The discovery is of vast impor.
tance, aud may be Of the greatest use-
fulness in our inland navigation. -
james Rumsey, with Just a suspicion Of
the ir1itabiliiv Of talent, accused Fitch
OF looming pottering around his Vir-
ginis workbench and carrying off his
ideas, to be afterward developed in
Philadelphia. 1t is certain that the de.
velopment was great. Rumsey died in
England OF Gpoplexey at public lee
ture where he Was explaining his con-
triyance.
