Prevention Better Than Cure.

and so will the young colt be if properly
treated Even supposing there was an in
herent vicious propensity born with a
colt, by beginning familiarity early with
him it would in most cases be eradi-
Gated: if not, it would to a certainty be
most materially softened. As general
thing, however, we let them contract
bad habits. and then we trust to the
breaker to get rid of them. We hate the
term breaking as applied TO horses. Treat
them properly from the first, they will
then only want practice to teach them
what we want of them and will need no
breaking. We never begin teaching colts
half soon enough. The yearling should
be an old horse in point of dociliiy and
confidence in man. We fear most of us
who tread the thorny path Of life get
weary of the way long before we have
completed our allotted journey; but it
would be cruel to damp the youthful
travellers hope by telling him, what he
will after find, that the soft and balmy
morning of his setting out is but too
often the prelude of the coming storm.
Thus horses We fear have generally
reason enough to dread man in their
progress through life; but there can be
no reason to teach or allow them to dread
US from their birth, this dread to be fur
ther increased by the general usage of
them.
1t may be said that however wild the
colt may be work will tame him, and if
he gets vicious or troublesome propensi-
ties punishment and consequent feaI
may prevent his prseticing them. To a
certain degree this would probably be
the case; but if the inclination remains,
some ungusrded movement on our part
will afford the opportunity of showing
the ruling passion, and fatal will proba-
bly, be its effect. But supposing We do
make an animal submissive through
fear, brutal must be the mind of the
savage who would not feel more pleasure
in the services Of the confding and will
ing servant than in that of the detesting
and crouching slave.

colts have come of age, to break them

Why Mad Dogs Don't Bite Their
Masters.

Dogs are usually credited with a good
deal of intelligence and feeling. but
! never, perhaps, have their higher facul-
ties received such marked recognition as
from NJ. Bonley, veterinary surgeon
4 such prominence as to be member of
the French Institute and general in
spector of the veterinary schools in
France. In lecture on hydrophobia he
points out that the comparative immuni-
" OF masters from attacks by their dogs
Is in great part due to the affection the
animal feels for those about him The
aiteCtlonate feeling of the mad dog to-
ward his master is so powerful and
enduring that it governs him even in the
raving stages of his disease 1t controls
him, and even his fatal desire to bite is
overcome by an effort of his will, or
rather by the power of his attachment.
In this the nature of the dog seems
almost human, for man, under similar
diseased circumstances, is conscious of
the harm he may infiict, and is careful
10 avoid it." The power of this affection
Is 50 great as to control the dog even in
his most rabid moments, and as conse-
quence men are rarely bitten by their
own dogs. The voice of the master
seems to overcome the fury of the dis
ease for a time at least, and an animal
restless with madness will be quoted by
the sound of his masters voice. and i'm
mediately obey him. in fact, NJ Bonley
seems to think that in cases where obedi-
ence does not follow the call of the
beloved voice the fault is not due to the
dogs unwillingness, but to the fact that
disease has blinded his senses, and he
does not hear. Not less remarkable is
the explanation given of rabid dogs
tendency TO roam, Controlled as such
dogs are by their affectionate regard for
their friends" says NJ Bonley, II am
inclined 10 believe that the poor beasts
strive to obey these nobler impulses
when, before giving way to the disease,
they run away from home and disappear
II seems as if they were conscious of the
harm they might do, and TO avoid in
hicting this injury they run away from
those they love-

over the door is beautiful carvings in stone.
Here the monks used to meet for prayer
and to be scourged, etc. This was after
wards used for three hundred years as the

In the Poets corner we saw the busts or
statues placed in inches in the wall above
their graves. Over the graves of David
Garrick and Dickens there is only gray
stone, forming part of the floor, on which
their names are inscribed. We asked a

we went into the Chapel of Henry VI

FOR OUR COLUMN.

This is the age of co operation. There
are cooperative associations of mechanics,
co operative stores, and trades-unons for
the protection of the rights of labor, in
these latter there is a cooperation of all
the members of the union to protect each
member. But in the most vital and impor-
tant question that can affect us in this life,
the cooperation of the elements of the
question is not fully developed, | mean the
intellectual and moral culture of our youth.
There is great want of cooperation with
the teachers on the part of the parents.
We, as teachers, do not desr the parents
to interfere in our own peculiar province,
the schoolroom. There we expect, and
intend to be absolute monarchs autocrats,
from whose rule there must be no appeal.
And just here is the point at which we ask
the assistance of parents. When children
come home from school with querulous COM
plants, do not villify the teacher in the
presence of the children; but frown upon
all complaints, and refuse to hear them,
and they will soon cease.
Should any complaint seem to have a
good foundation, go kindly to the teacher,
and in mild words inquire into the COM
plant. Do not take an exparte statement
from the child, and fume and rage, but
listen to what can be said on the other side
Then you can cooperate with the teacher by
inquiring into the progress of the children
show an interest in their studies, and see
that their lessons are we'll learned, visit
the school, also, as looker-on-but do
not try to assume the teachers office while
there. This kind of cooperation will be
to good purpose and we hope soon to
see many such cooperative associations.

ANOTHER MAN WANTED.-Old farmer

caught John, the hired man, hugging Mrs.
p. the farmer said nothing, and went out
into the find.
After dinner he wanted John for some
thing, but John was not to be found. He
went at last into Johns room where the
latter was ON his knees packing his trunk

go, nothing replied John.
"What are you packing your trunk

"Im going away"

away for?"

"Come give me the reason of your sudden
desire to go away"
"Well," meekly answered John, "you
know what you caught me doing this fore
noon?'

so foolish. If you and me can't hug the
old woman enough, I'll hire another man."

Solomon, Moses and Noah as ancient, but
the history of that shell introduces us to
ages compared with which theirs are mod
ern. Backward still the mind wanders,
now the earth is covered with vast ice
mountains and then again tropic vegeta-
ton ascends far towards the poles, vast,
unwieldly animals sport in the waters of
seas that roll where our cities now stand
forests of ferns rise in the carbon laden air
or are buried in the mud of the marshes
after fuel, ages in the future. Still back
ward, the rank vegetation disappears and
shallow seas wrap the globe in a world OF
tepid waters. There in those seas this lit
tie shell had it's birth place. Could it tell
its story, it would be a strange one, how
age after age rolled away, one class of
beings after another came into life and
passed away to give place to higher ones.
1t would have to tell of the subsistence of
continents and the reign of lava fires
around the world. Not pausing here the
mind still wanders backward through the
vast ages devoid of life, backward toward
that mystic time when "the earth was
without form and void," when Good ere.
ated the heavens and earth" 1t is from
such little things that the history of ages
that passed before Adam titled the garden
or ate of the probation tree is being writ
ten history perhaps as reliable as that
of Greece and Rome and certainly as intel
ligible. Geology had it's birth place in
quarry among such little shells as these,
but Hugh Miller, like Copernicus, has rev.
olutionized the science and theology of our
age.
The little coral insect has reared the
foundation of States. yet it is almost micro
scopic. Moments are little things, but
upon them the destiny of life may depend.
Take care of the minutes and life will take
care Of itself. Grouchy was but little
late, but Waterloo was lost and Europe
saved from despotsm. Science depends
for half her success upon trifles. The ray
shot from a distant star is sufficient to
decide the elements of that star. so trif!es
are the surest indication Of individual
character, and slight attentions are often
the beginnings Of enduring friendships
The world cannot afford to forget that,
Little deeds of kindness. little word. of love
Make our earth Eden like to that abCye.'

VINO Is OLD?-A wise man will never
rust out. As long as he can move and
breathe, he will do something for himself,
for his neighbor or for his posterity. AL
most to the last hour of his life, Yelling
ton was at work. So were Newton, Bacon,
Milton and Franklin. The vigor of their
lives never decayed. No rust marred their
spirits. 1t is foolish idea to suppose that
we must lie down because we are old.
Who is old? Not the man of energy; not
the day-laborer in science, art or benevo-
lence; but he only suffers his energies to
waste time, and the spring of life to be-
come motionless, on whose hands the hours
drag heavily.

LOVES LAND.

In the South is Loves land,
Where the roses blow,
Where the Summer fingers,
Fearless of the snow.
There no Winter chills it,
SO it's life is long
Gentle breezes fan it,
Age but makes it strong.
Nay, fresh roses wither
Where the sun is hot
Not in torrid regions
Blooms forget me-not.
Loves tender blossom,
Which the Winter chills,
But too eager Summer
With its kisses kills.
