Tho Principles Of Horsomanship-- Con-
divions OF u Good Sent.
Colonel IFariny IN ScriJacr's .,Eagaziuc.
J., ~ a recognized principle that
81 horscman grows from his scat. I"
by scot is meant the manner in
which The weight of his person re-
ceivcs the impulse of the horse's
movement. At every step tho i'm
pulse chaagos, and at every change
unless the scat is u good one, tho
weight is jostlcd and the smooth
action OF tho horse is disturbed.
If it is good, it is SO adjusted as to
receive the changing action with
yielding resistance to tho shock,
and to givo no unluo check to tho
motive power. While there must
be certain ease of displacement
there must also be an ability to
hoid firm to the saddle, and, after
lowing it, to return smoothly to it.
l"o real points Of attachment
fhnnld 10 only from tho knee up
"A:l-hy tho inner flat Of the
tri%h. E',se of motion depends on

mcNS ot the horse should be 80
sudden, and no lift in lcnpiny
should be 50 glc"t, th;,t tho thighs
nay nos securely retain their
position, and the body and calves
their tiexib,!jty. Eiyitity of the
body implies the transmission Of
force to tho long end OF the lover,
which is the father Of the fall,
wiIi,c riTidi;y of tho lower legs
carries al uncontrolled impulse to
tho other end Of the lever and dis
tu BIS tho horse. The absolute
point Of contact-tho point which
never yields it's grip-is at the
knees only. In the leap, and to O
less degree in the gallop, these arc
the constant points of communica-
tion, and however much the scat
inNJ De raised in Il strong leap these
regulate it's safe and correct re-
turn.
Piiancy Of the hips and freedom
Of the calves are the first objects
TO be sought, and it is these which
it is the most difficult for the
mature beginner to acquire. Much
help may be gained from sort of
calisthenic exercise of the body,
swaying from front to roar and
from side to side, and moving the
arms in all directions, retaining
meanwhile a firm scat without the
action Of the calves or tho heels.
There should be cultivated, too, the
ability to reach the toe far forward
on the horses shoulder, and to
raise the heel high against his side
without materially changing the
position Of tho knee. In short. the
man should learn the new art OF
moving his head, arms, body and
lower legs from his now point OF
attachment at the thighs and scat
with the same instructive case and
certainty with which he has learned
to move his whole person when
resting on his feet. In proportion
as this supplencss has become com
picto and inat;nctive, in that
proportion does the man remove
himself from the condition Of G
suit OF clothes stuffed with sand
which would topplc over with the
least movement OF tho horse.

In spite of the snow storm, the opening lecture
of the popular course, by Rev. DR.. Penticost Of
Boston, at the Free Baptist church last evening
was we'll attended. The lecture continued an
hour and half, and was intensely interesting
and very able throughout. 1t was an ingenious,
popular and convincing argument for the truth OF
the bible, and for reckoning that as the best au-
thority for answering questions of immense i'm
portance to the human race. Whence came the
world, man, sin, conscience, death "What an
swer" to all these important questions are we
able to give. He challenged, in turn, and
thoroughly, philosophy, science, and the bible
not to preach a sermon. but to ask and seek an
answer for plain and pratical Questions; and his
final conclusion was, that the only satisfactory
answer to the questions must be derived from the
word of God, given to us in the old bible of oui
fathers.
