AtrOc:ty Of FLINDERS for Horses

We never could see what vice or deformity
lay in a horses eye that should make it
necessary to cover it up and shut out its
owners from at least two-thirds Of his rightfnl
vision. The poets say that old age looks
backward; but we never heard such an lido
syncrasy charged upon the horse. The
theory that horse is less apt to be fright.
ened when shut out from everything behind
him. we suspect to be fallacy, else saddle
horses and warehouses would be duly blinded.
Every horse is as familiar with his own car
riage as with his own tail, and, as for his
personal" forttude is concerned, is no more
disturbed at being pursued by one than by
the other. AS for the other scare-crows thai
come up behind, they are mostly so familiar
to the animal that the more fully the horse
can perceive them the more quietly does he
submit to their approach. Then it is such
pity to cover up one Of the most brilliant
features of this most brilliant Grsatpre, The
horse has borne such hand in the ciyilisa-
top of this rough-and-tumble world, that It
see'as not so much cruelty as discourtesy,
as we'll as disgrace, TO hide his form with
embarrassing toggery. No wonder We esti-
mate the force in the world as horse power !;
no wonder the Romans and the Germans,
each in their own language, designate their
aristocracy as riders no wonder their de-
scendants made chivalry synonym for their
highest virtues. Let the horse be given his
due, aaa pnblinded. The check-rein is an
other nuisance in harGess-year which has
almost entirely disappeared from England,
the army having at last given it up by order
of the commander-in-chicf Sir George Bur-
gOyne. ~ -tf tfEs

| Last evening, according to appointment,
the Wayland Seminary Quartette, in charge
OF Rev. G. M. p. King, appeared in the
Second Baptist Church, and gave an enter
tainment which they term an evening with
Wayland Seminary. The objects of these
entertainments is to raise money with which
to complete their seminary building in WASH

audience, the school has already outgrown
three different quarters, and had now grown
up to the present building, and it only re-

evening with a song entitled "Turn back

might gain an education aud fit themselves
for the duties of life, and leave the Seminary
| Of which they are members in good financial
working order" The singing was better
than ordinary, and gave the audience good

the Southern stamp, weird and pleasing.
The gem Of the evening was ''Roll, Jordan,
Roll, i" which was finely rendered, and gave
the singers chance to show the power of
their voices, as well as the sweetness, Their
modulations were very good. In response
to very decided encore they sang "Pretty
pear-tree way over there" which convulsed
the audience with laughter. Mr.. Wigs gave
his mine month"; experience as school
teacher in Mississippi" in very pleasing
manner, and drew some vivid pictures Of his
trials while thus engaged. The readings
and rccItations by Miss Mason were very
| finely rendered. She possesses more than
ordinary talents in this direction. She ap-
pears easy and graceful, perfectly at home
either in grave or gay, pathetic or logical
passages. Her best efforts were the recita-
tons, 1.-The Crusade" and a parody on Ex-
celsior, entitled Charcoal" The reading
Of the descriptive piece, "Over the Hill to
the Poor HOUSE." was very fine.
Mr.. King, the Principal of the Seminary,
enters the work with his wnoie aoyl, and
Grwly believes in helping those who will try
and help themselves. May his works be
crowned with abundant success. Tonight

Cast thy burden on the Lord and he shall
sustain thee"
God and man are here brought face to face
in near relation the Helper and helped !;
the Infinite with the finite the Creator with
the created.
Man searches after condensed and abstract
definitions of the Divine Being. God re-
veals himself in his Word in more practical
and appreciative way, bringing himself down
to the wants and infrmitics of his creatures
in almost every condition and relation of life,
as a father, as friend, as brother, as a
husband, as a counsellor, as protector, as
helper.
1t is some one of these aspects of God our
Heavenly Father, that the soul reaches forth
and takes hold of his mighty power and love
for its comfort, its support and its strength.
The burdens of life are various sickness,
poverty, infirmity, bereavement, disappoint-
ment, financial disaster, business pressure,
anxiety, etc. They in some form or other,
and in a ter or less degree. press upon
the minds of all. None can shirk them.
The question is, how are they to be met !?
Cast thy burden on the Lord and he shall
sustain thee" Yet, alas how many carry
their burdens through life, without looking to
him for help! They bear them alone and
groan and often die under their pressure,
But, as children go to their father in their
little troubles, exigencies and wants, SO
should we bring our cares and wants to God
who careth for us.
Let us learn from the subject the following
truths:
LIST. God never formed human being to
live Independent of him, whenever men try
to live without God they make shipwreck OF
their happiness and hopes.
I'd. God does not promise to remove our
troubles or make them lighter to the Chris
tian, nor even to bear himself our burdens,
but to help us to bear them.
Sd. The Captain Of our Salvation was
made perfect through suffering. Somehow
God sees it to be necessary to bring his
children through similar discipline. ''Thou
shalt indeed drink Of the cup Of which drink
and be baptised Of the baptism which am
baptised Of"
4th. We never cease to need God as
helper: we are weak and dependent and
need help at all times, but there are circun-
stances in the history Of all where Gods
help 10 especially needed.

The funeral services of Miss Jane Louisa
Matthews, aged fifteen years, the second
and only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John l..
Matthews, of the District of Columbia, took
place from their residence on seventh street
on Friday, July Both, at halfpast three
O'Clock p. M. The services were conducted
by the Rev. Mr.. Van Deurs, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church. Many friends of the
family took the occasion to visit the house,
and to take the last view of the deceased.
She had formed many friends both in the
Sabbath School and out of it. During her
short illness she bore it with Christian forth
tude worthy the example Of older ones. This
affection, no doubt, comes upon her parents
with great weight Only few months past
Mrs. Matthews buried her step mother, then
shortly after her father died, and Just four
years ago their oldst daughter was carried
from the house to her last resting place.
We give them our Christian sympathy under
this stroke Of death. and may they be sup.
ported in this hour Of trial by Him who can
comfort in death, and give peace and assur-
ance Of a happy future to the dying. We
noticed many Sabbath school members in
the ranks which marked their respect and
love for the bereaved.
Mr.. Matthews, through honesty and indus
try, has built himself up in this place good
business, which has brought around him
many friends of our best citizens, and is be-
loved by all.
''Oh! why should the spirit of mortal be
