The Prince and Princess of Wales and
the Duke of Edinburgh are mentioned
among those who are now seldom seen
in society. The Prince is said to have
abandoned the billiard and card rooms,
and taken to studying the history of In
dia, in preparation for his visit to that
country. PRINCE Arthur is always busy,
while the Princess Louise Is seldom seen
abroad. All of which makes the greedy

Under the ruins Of the old castle OF
King Dagobert the Able Denis found a
hens nest full of eggs. They had been
there 1900 years, hidden from the light
and the air and the changes of tempera-
ture, and the hen herself had, perhaps,
barely escaped when the falling walls
sealed her eggs hermetioally for future
times. Able Denis put three eggs under
hen, and they were Matched.

Thoughts for Saturday Night.

Temptation is never dangerous until
it has an inside accomplice. Sin within
betrays the heart to the outside assail-
ant.
II tomorrow you should want, your
sorrow would come in timo enough,
though you do not hasten it let your
trouble tarry till its own day comes.
The Joy resulting from tho diffusion Of
blessings to all around US is the purest
and sublfmest tllat can ever enter tho
human mind, and can be conceived only
by those who have experienced it.
Idleness is the dead sea that swallows
up all virtues, and the self-made sepul-
chre of q living man. The idle man is
the devils rrchin, whose livery Is rigs,
md whose diet and wages are famine
and disease.
What we labituate ourselves 10 nd
mire, we love to associate with; and
what we associate with, we gradually
initiate, and adopt its features into our
loves. They who assSciato with the
good are much stronger than they WHO
alone go out to fight the evil.
Enjoy the present, whatever it may
be, and bo not solicitous for the future ;
for il you take your foot from the pres
ent standing, and thrust it forward to to-
morrow's event, you are in n restless
condition. 1t is like refusing to quench
your present thirst by fearing you will
want to drink the next day.
We're the happiness of tho next world
as closely apprehended US the felicities
Of this, it were q mArtyrtlom 10 live and
unto such as consider none hereafter, II

makes us amazed ut those audacities TINT

chaos again.

People WHO have always been prosper.
ous are seldom tho most worthy and
never the most strong. He who has not

Clipping Horses.

The man who really loves his horses,
says Thrf, Field and Ia m, does not re-
quiro to be told that the clipped animal
suffers severely il allowed to stand I'M
covered in the bleak air Of winter. But,
unfortunately, there are u good many
people who come into the possession
Of quick-stepping horses who have no
real affection for the animalswhich serve
them, and in whom tho delicate sense
Of humanity is blunted. These people
care more for show tllnn comfort, and
they will keep clipped horse shiverihg
all day in the chilly streets. In some
cases they may tic a small blanket over
the loins, but it never enters into their
heads to moro fully protect the sllorn
equine. Now, clipping is m excellent
thing when practiced with Judgment, but
it is'nothing short Of cruelty when msile
indiscriminate. The heavy horse which
does slow work should never be deprived
Of his natural coat Of hair. As he hos to
face oil kinds Of weather and does not
warm his blood by violent exercise, n
long and thick coat Of hair Is essential
to his health and comfort. But with the
light, active horse 1t Is different. We
take him from the warm stable, give him
a merry spin over the road, and for tho
time being are done with him. II his
hair is long tho lungs are taxed more
severely in aerating the blood, the pores
Of the skin in n measure being clOgged
and at the end OF tho drive he Is enyel-
oped III wet mass. To dry him We
must rub him for hours with cloths, and
subject him to other inconvenience. II
we do not rub him dry, he will shiver
MI night in his stall, Just rs you, Mr..
Querist, would do were you compelled
to try and WOO balmy sleep between n
pair Of wet blankets. 1t is directly the
opposite with the clipped horse. When
putting forth his best effort ho breathes
freely, perspires naturally, and, MS there
is no hair to absorb tho moisture, hc
quickly gets rid of the sweat drops. You
put him into his stable after hot
drive, md then, with little grooming,
he Is ready for the blanket and COM
fortabc nights rest. Itstands to reason,
however, that the clipped horse should
not be tied under roadside shed with.
out being carefully covered with wooden
clothing, nor should hc be forced to
slliver through n stretch Of two hours in
the carriage traces waiting for my lady
to finish her gossiping call upon
some gossiping friend. II you clip
your carriage horses, you should make
1t your business, on descending to tho
pavement from your coach, to sec that
your driver throws heavy blankets over
the shorn animals. To allow the poor
equines to stand unprotected in the cold
winter air is to practice downright
crnelky.
