THE HERA
Balky Horses.

The Society for the Prevention OF
Crnelty to Amin ais put forth the fol-
lowing rules for the treatment OF
balky horses. which will bear repro
duction
Pat the horse upon the neck !;
examine the harness carefully, hrst
on one side and then on the other,
speaking encouragingly while doing
50 then jump into the wagon ana
give the word go generally be will
obey.
q A teamster in Maine says he
can start the worst balky horse by
taking him out of the shafts and
making him go rcuad in circle TIL
no IS giddy. If the first dance Of
tni. sort doesn't cure him, the second

3. To cure a balky horse, simply
place your hand over the horses
nose and shut off his wind until he
wants to go, and then let him go.
4 The brain of horse seems to
entertain but one idea at a time
therefore continued whipping only
confirms his stubborn resolve. If
you can by any means give him a
rev subject to think Of, You will
gsnoraIiy have no trouble ~ starting
bin. 4 simple remedy is To take
couple of turns of stout twine around
the fore leg, just below the knee,
t,ght enough for the horse to feel,
aud tic in a bow knot. At the first
check be will generally 90 dancing
or. and after going short distance
YOU can got out and remove the
string, to prevent injury to the ten
don ia your further drive.

tween the hind legs, and tie it by q
cord to the saddle-girth.

Queen Victoria in Terror.

The Countess of London has died
with threat against Queen Victoria
on her quivcring lips. Dead or
alive" she gasped, 81 will be reyenged
on Victoria" The Countess had a
Younger sister who, some years ago,
was one of Victoria's maids of honor.
The queen had hearkened to gossip
and scandal impeaching the integrity
Of the sister of the Countess, and final
ly Vanished her from the royal house
hold. The falsity of the scandal was
shown, but not until after the lady's
death. The Countess blamed the
queen for her sisters untimely fate,
and determined to avenge the wrong
In the will of the Countess which has
recently been opened, was a clause
directing her right hand to be cut off
and buried in spot selected several
years ago by herself and overlooking
one of the Queens castles. Hewn in
large letters on the monument will be
the motto: 81 bide my time" This
postmortem pursuit of the Queen has
thrown the whole royal family into
CONSERVATION. The royal family be-
ing tinged with superstition, vague no
tons of ghosts and midnight specte@s
gaunt and CHASTITY, disturb their royal
repose. 1t is rather amusing to find
a trile, like this, disturbing the equani-
nifty of family, whose predecessors
have murdered their subjects by the
hundred, and who are themselves the
cause Of killing by inches, the hun
dreds who annually die of starvation
in the British dominioDs.

Prof. Swing on He'll.
From Sermon by Prof. swiag of Chicago

From Sermon by Prof swiag of chicago.l
1t is only a human religion such
as that Of Buddha. or Thor, or Ju-
piter, that may fear the growth of
intelligence, aud that may fade as
the light of reason dawns; but of a
religion fl, M God, given by inspira-
ton, the first distinguished principle
must be that it will reveal its reason.
ableness as fas: as man unfods his
own intelligence, and still become
more glorious where there is the
most culture. The medieval Chris
tianity having been disGgured By ig-
norance aud superstition, the subse-
quent growth OF religion had to ex-
press itself in infidility. When a
Dante describes hell to mankind, and
his frightful pictures become the
theology of the church, sweeping
through Romanism over into Protest
autism until Edwards says God will
dash the sinner down on hell's floor
and stamp upon him, then inidelity
must follow, not simply TO save a
man from such horrors, but to res
cue Gods blessed name from such
unspeakable lnfamy. La such hell
as Dante's, it is not man that is pun
ished, it is God that is destroyed.
From such IDEAS we must fly to q
more reasonable religion. We must
indeed separate forever the righteous
and the wicked but, as the drunk
ard is punished in this world, and as
the murderer accepts his arrest with
out blaming God, as the soul feels
its own wickedness and does not re-
proach the Creator, so the lost world
is o place, not where God is seen as
cruel monster but where the hu-
man free will stands forth in all it's
divine powers, and reveal a self
punishment over which we can al
most imagine the heavenly Father
himself to shed tears. Such is the
prediction Of reason-a place not
where the Saviour and God bee me
an inquisition, but where the sinners
own will and own heart have woven
themselves garments of perpetual
sackcloth, and where the tears of
sorrow fall not from malicious de-
cree of God, passed from eternity,
but fall out of the sinners own
wretched soul and misspent life.
Thus, over almost every ideal Of the
Christian religion there is lying a
drapery of reason fresh from the
God of infinite wisdom, and beautiful
to man, the image of the rational
God.
