The Strength OEthe Horse.

We are so completely in the habit of
regading the horse as a docile slave,
expected to minister to our necessities
withuncomplaining complaisance, ,-un-

to drag loads beyond their powers, that
we are apt to forget the tremendous
strength which, he can exert if he pleases

saw lately small pony running
away with little carriage, in which
were two large strong men; one sat in
his place dragging at the reins with all
his might, the other was on his knees,
adding his utmost power nearer the
head, but in vain. They were just able
to give some sort Of direction 10 their
course, so as to avoid the carts and
carriages, which unfortunately were
not many, and In turning several sharp
corners, but they could not moderate
the pace in the least, till it pleased tho
pony to stop at his own stable. They
set their strength against his, and on
the tenderest point, the mouth, and the
pony won.

A story Worth Telling.

1t has been stated that the duke of
Bedford was led to give the statue Of
John Bunyan to the town from which
His Grace derives his name, because the
Pilgrims Progress" was the first book
which he received as a child from his
mother. This is, we believe, true, as
far as it goes, but it is not the whole
truth. One of the main causes which
contributed to the bestowal of the gift
lrs never yet been communicated to
'r public and the story is one well
worthy of being related. When His
Grace succeeded to the Dukedom, he
found that one of the gifts which Bed.
ford looked for at his hands was year
u present of hundred guineas for a
cup to be run for at the local races, and
il felt the most insuperable objections
tn continuing to make such present.
lIa consulted with one of the borough
piembers (Mr. White bread) who had
also been in the habit, along with the
previous Duke, of giving hundred
guineas for the race cnp, and he ascer-
laned that the honorable member was
iardly less averes than himself to the
fystem which thus transformed them
into patrons of what they both believe
to be source of public demoralization.
1t was agreed between them that the
two cups should no longer be given.
The local sporting fraternity pleaded
very hard against this decision of the
new head of the House of Russell, but
all in vain. One Of the most retiring of
men he is characterized by great decis-
ion an firmness, and while he consented
to give the cub for one year, he warn
ed its recipients that they must not
come again, as his mind was thorough
ly made up on the subject. His Grace,
however, did not wish it to be supposed
that the step was taken on the ground
of saving his purse, than which moth
ing was really further from his thoughts,
and he accordingly consulted with some
of the leading civic authorities as to
what gift in place of the cup was most
likely to be generally appreciated by the
public of Bedford. A statue of Bunyan
was no sooner hinted at than the Duke
eagerly seized the idea; and he did this
all the more readily as he recoliected
how the "Pilgrim's Progre ess" was
1favorite with his mother, and the first
book she had given him when he was
child. The statue has, we believe, cost
His Craze about e3, 200, sum equival-
ent to at least thirty race cups-so that
the disappointed sporting men, while
they may no doubt sneer at the piety of
his action, are deprived of the chance of
calling him stingy. y.-English paper.
