BALKY PEoPLE.-Passing along coun
try road quite recently, We found a man, a
horse and wagoh, in trouble. The vehicle
was slight and the road was good, but the
horse refused to draw, and his driver was
in bad predicament. He had already de-
stroyed his whip in applying inducements to
progress in travel. He had pulled the
horse $ ears with sharp string. He had
backed him into the ditch. He had built a
FIRE of straw underneath him-the only re-
suit, smashed dashboard. The chief effect
of the violence and cruelties applied were
to increase the divergoncy OF feeling between
the brute and his MASTER We said to the
besweated and outraged actor in the scene
that the best thing for him to do was to let
his horse stand for awhile unwhipped and
uncoaxcd, setting some one to watch him,
while he, the driver, went away TO cool off.
We learned that the plan worked admiraS
bly, that the cold air, and the appetite for
oats, and the solitude of the road, favorable
for contemplation, had made the horse move
for adjournment to some other place and
time, and when the driver came up he had
but TO take up the reins, and the beast, first
so obstinate, dashed down the road at a
perilous speed.
We know of pastors who have balky
parishioners. When any important move
is to take place, and all the other horses of
the team are willing to draw, they lay them
selves back in the harness.
First the pastor pats the obstreper0us ell
der Or deacon on the neck, and tells him how
much he thinks Of him. This only makes
him shake his name and grind his bit. He
will die first before he consents to such
movement. Next he is pulled by the ear,
with good many sharp insinuations as TO
his motives for holding back. Fires OF indig-
nation are built under him for the purpose
Of consuming his balkiness. lie is whipped
with the scourge of public opinion, but this
makes him kick more tiercely and lie harder
in the breeching-straps. lie is backed down
into the ditch Of scorn and contempt, but
still Is not willing to draw an ounce. o fooi-
ish minister, trying to move balky PARISH
ionerl Let him alone. Go on and leave him
there Pay less attention to the horse that
balks and give more oats to those that pull.
Leave him out in the cold. Some day you
will come back and find him glad to start.
And at your first advance he will arch his
neck, paw his hoof, bend into the bit, stiffen
the traces, and dash on. We have the same
prescription for balky horses and mentor
a little while let him alone !-tMristian at
