How TO break a RaIky Horse.

Balky horses may be divided into
three classes: l. Such as do not like
to go from pure iaziness or stop
when tired and refuse to go any fur
ther. This is balky horse in a
very mild form, and can generally be
cured by any good horseman.
2. Embraces snch horses as are
really stubborn and refuse to go from
a headstrong disposition to have
their own way. This class are gen
orally the most troublesome, but in
fact are the easiest to break, and
when once broken seldom make any
more trouble.
8. Are timid horses combined with
q stubborn disposition, and often re-
fuse to go from fear as well as stub.
borness. This is the worst from of
a balky horse, and the hardest to
manage, but can be broken so as to
work good, but can never be consid-
cred really safe.
One important point should always
be remembered in breaking horses:
always speak kind and pleasant,
though YOU may use a commanding
tone and even harsh means, but never
lose your temper.
Now, suppose we are to commence
to break a balky horse of class second
and that he Is sufficiently gentel to
know what is wanted of him. Put
on your harness and hitch him to

An OId MaId,s OPINION.

If it doesn't make me laugh, and I
can't help it, to hear married people
pity old maids, never thinking for
one moment how an old maid might
pity the married.
Oh, no!
Poor soul, she hasn't any husband!
Poor dear, she hasn't any children!
It's so very, very sad!
OF course it is, poetically speak
ing; but don't you ever pity a woman
for not marrying until you are quite
sure what sort of a man she hasn't
married.
I've known a broken engagement
or two that were really subjects of
eongratulation.
There isn't any other time when
woman feels so ike feeling of her
shoulder blades to see whether the
wings have sprouted, as when she
slipped the wrong mans ring on her
finger, aud feels that she'll never
bear the brunt of his hateful temper,
or put up with his neglect, or grow
old before her time because of his
unfaithfulness, when she stands free
again and ready for the right man to
Q me along.
/ suppose a woman never feels
quite certain that the right man won't
come in all her life.
However, we are talking of old
maids and the people who pity them.
1t is all very well to get poetical
over married life, and set single wo-
men down as miserable creatures,
but like most theories, the "thing
don't wash"
If you get an adoring husband
ready to cherish and protect you
while life lasts, you're certainly a
happy woman; but how many dog
One out of fifty, perhaps.
It's lottery with few lucky num-
bers, and even an old maid doesn't
bitterly envy q woman with q mean,
quarrelsome or negleetful husband
Ia woman who is left alone with all
her cares, q woman who is q slave,
not wife-Ror even always ell that
falls to the los of the best loved wife
on earth.
There is peace and rest in lie
when one is ones own mistress, at
all events; when ] hear worn ont,
worried matrons plying single wo-
men, / feel often ike laughing, it is
so funny.

NICKNAMEs.-Whilo you are think
ing of these things, pray make up
your mind to drop the stupid nick
names that girls seem to delight in.
/ say stupid ones; but you are not to
think, as some good people do, that
that all nicknames are senseless.
When we are familiar with any one,
it is an instinct to soften and shorten
their names, and nicknames often
express some popularity of person
with good deal of pith. Trudie is
a softer name than Gertrude, Gertie
is a shorter one; and somehow it is
nature among all the nations in the
world to turn friends name, shor
ten it, and pet it, to make special
name of it for those who love him.
Pet names and nicknames are pleas
ant because they belong only to ones
family and intimates. But there
are some names so h1rsh and uncouth,
without any meaning or fun, that
there is no excuse for using them.
l know girls whose fayorite nick
name for Gertrude is "Toot" or
''Tute," as you like to spell it. Beside
making one think # fsh-horn, it
isn't in the least like the name it is
taken for, any more than Caddie, or
Cad, is like Caroline, Wede is unlike
Louisa, for which I've had the un-
happiness of hearing 1t used. The
worst and most siekishly silly of all
is Mamie for Mary, in any but very
little girl who cannot speak plain.
Are names any sweeter for being
spoken as toothless babies might
humble them in trying to talk? Don't
make dumplings out of all shape.
Bows have their whims that are past
endurance. Georlie always sounds
like a babyish nickname for that
manly name George. To hear boy
called Dode, when his real name is
Theodore, gives most people dis
position to think little OF the speaker
and of the boy too. In the country
l believe it is the height of manliness
for boy who goes to district school
to be called Hank, if his name hap
pens to be Henry-for what reason
l cannot tell, unless because it is the
least like it of any namein the spell
ing-book. You must have the least
grain of sense in your foolishness to
make it fun, just as we have to put
pinch of salt into iee-cream to make
it taste right.-AprR VIDE AsOake.
