AN INTELLIGENT MARE.

On the Harrods burg road, four miles
from Lexington, lives Mr.. Funkhouser,
Last Tuesday night Mr.. f. was enjoying
the profound sleep which follows an hon
est mans hard days work, he was awak-
ened by the repeated neighng of his sad
die nag. After waiting some time for
the mare to cease, he became impatient
and, bouncing out of bed, drove her off
He thought it rather strange, too, that
she should come to the house and leave
her colt in the woods, where she had been
running some weeks. He thought it still
more remarkable that his man, usually
very careful, should have LETT the gates
open, so that the mare could come from
the woods to the house.
While he was turning over these things
in his mind, in that halfunconscious state
preceding sleep, he was again aroused by
the mare. She neighed loud and shrill,
and ut last put her head to his window.
Her persistence finally suggested that
something might be wrong with her. He
got up again, but as soon rs he approach
ed her, she started in brisk trot for the
woods, and he re-entered the house. But
scarce had he seated himself in the bed
when the mare was again at the window,
making more noise than ever. AT last
he thought of the colt, and remembering
some wonderful instances of intelligence
in blutes, determined to follow. The
mare preceded him to the gate; when he
opened it she passed through, and imme-
diately struck out in the darkness, and
he lost sight OF her. When he had stood
pondering Il few minutes, thinking the
mare had played rather a sharp trick on
him to get back to her colt, and when he
bad just started again for the house in no
good humor, the mare reappeared. AT
first he was disposed to go home, but she
actually blocked his way ut every step.
He took the hint, and agair followed her,
and near the middle Of the woods, she
stopped at sink hole. a little examina-
ton showed him the colt lying on its back
at the bottom, unable to move. He had
but one match, and used this up in seeing
the position of the colt. He found him.
sell unable to eXtricate it without assist
ance and it was near morning before he
obtained help and got the colt out. The
mare, meantime had prunced around,
showing the liveliest interest in every
thing done, and when the colt was tnnlly
made careful examination to a-ccttain,
ii possible, how she got out of the wnuds,

PRAYER BEFORE Whether
1t is true or not that the Welsh are a
quarrelsome people, we cauuot under take

would seem to countenance the conclus-
ion (and Shakespeare alway- represents
his Welsh characters as touchy in the
highest degree), that there i, modlcum
of truth in the charge. But to the story.
A Scotch peddler, without the remotest
intention on his part of getting into n
fight with my man, had put up, with his
pack, for the night at II country nle house
bordering on Wales, where ns the Iates
would have it, he found motley ASSEM-
blage in the kitchen Of the inn, OF not the
most desirable individuals and among
the rest, II Welshman, whose aim from
the very first seemed to be- to get into hot
water with poor Sawney. The latter, SUI
gaci"usIy appreciating the true char
acter of his toimentor, and detel mined to
get rid Of him in the quiete,t way possi-
Bile, told him that he did not want to
fight. This only excited 10 still higher
pitch the bravado of the Wcl,hman, and
he told the Scotchman that he would
make him fight. We'll" said the
Scotchman, if must fight, let me ,ay
my prayers first" which the Welshmnn
conceding, the Scotchman fell upon his
knees, imploring his Maker to pardon
him for the t,0a men be hnd already
killed, and the one that was ddoot to die.
The Scotchman then slowly rose from
his knees, but not before the Welshman
had made precipitate retreat from the
room.

ALLOWING CHILDREN 70 PLAY ON
SuNDAy.--If The rlayEa adie children
is in itself innocent, and not Of a nature
to disturb others Il mean seriously, for
some people are much too essily disturb
ed), why not let them play on the Sab
bath But the example, says bne. The
example? 1t is just what it should be.
1t is an example Of "sweet reaspnable-
ness" worthy OF imitation. 1t is tot an
example of worldly buying and sailing,
or of reveling, or unseemly rioting4 SO
far from conflicting with the grand old
fundamental rule of love to God and to
ones neighbor, it may and should be
made a means of promoting both. rhe
plays of the children are their hest optor-
tunities of learning the Golden RDle;
while, on the other hand let any patent
strictly forbid playing Of any sort, and
enforce an unnatural quietness of conduct
"because it is Gods holy day." and the
unreasonable (?) little soul straightWay
rises into rebellion. "Oh, | wish it was

the children OF to day, will to morlpw,

A CAPRIcoUs CAT.-A clergyman S
cat at West Springfield has shown some
remarkable symptoms OF natural deprav-
ity. After giving birth to seven kittens
recently, OF various colors, she removed
the two backest from the group and ut
terly refused to take any notice OF them.
No sooner were they restored to her nest
than she again and again elected them,
and death finally relieved the little waits.
And this in defiance of the Fifteenth
Amendment, which declares that there
shall be no distinction on account OF color!
No other than Massachusetts cat would
have dared thus to offend the majesty OF
the law.
