A Friend in Need.

1t is generally known that thorough,
bred and other well.bred horses have
their attachments for stable comparisons
cats, goats, dogs, and at times even for
dCmestlcated fowls, geese, ducks, etc. To
these they exhibit great partlality, aud
often q marked affection. The { flowing
'ncident--one among many we could re-
cite is an illustration in point:
A gentleman living in Norway, Maine,
owned a thoroughbred lorse, which 10
used for the saddle. He also owned af,

there existed a friendship strong and

and on such occasions the horse would

with a ioTce and power that brought forth

Shall We Meet Again.

The following is said to be one of
the most brilliant articles WI item by
the lamented Geo. ID. Prentice.
The fat of nature is memorable
There is no appeal for relief from the
great law doc ms us to dust. We four
ish nd fade as the leaves o the forest

Ia q dcy, have no frazier hold upon life

SHOOK the earth with his footsteps
Generations of men will appear and
disappear as on the earth, snd the
multitude that throng the world to day
will disappear Is the footsteps on the
shore. Men seldom think of the great
event of death until the shadow falls
across their own pathway, hiding from
their eyes the faces of loved ones
whose living smile was the sunlight Of
their existence. Death is the antago.
mist of life, and the thought of the
tomb is the skeleton Of all feasts.
We do not want to 60 through the
dark, although the passage may lead
to Paradise. we do not want TO lie down
in the grave even with princcsses for
bed fellows. In the beautiful drama
of Ion the hope Of immortality is elo'
quen'ly uttered by the death devoted
Greek, and finds response in every
thoughtful soul. When about to yield
his young existence as q sacrifice to
fate, his Clcmenthe ash il they should
meet again, to which he rep'es: Il
have asked that question of the hills
that look eterr al of the clear stream
that flows furever-of the stars among
whose fields of azure my raised SIP rits
have walked in glory. All were dumb.
but as | gaze upon the living face,
feel that there is something in the love
| that nantes through the beauty that
cannot wholly perish. We must meet
