How to SiL a Horse

1t is recognized principle that "a
horseman grows from his seat BY
seat is meant the manner in which
the weight Of his person receives the
impulse of the horses movement
At every step the impulse changes,
and at every change, unless the seat
is a good one, the weight is jostled
and the smooth action of the horse
is disturbed, If it is good, it is so
adjusted as to receive the changing
action with a yielding resistance to
the shock, aud to give no undue
check to the motive power. While
there must be a certain ease of dis
placement, there must also be an
ability to hold firm to the saddle,
and, after leaving it, to return
smoothly to it. The real points of
attachment should be only from the
knee upward,-by the inner fiat of
the thigh. Ease of motion depends
on the freedom of the lower leg and
the ready fexibiity of the loins.-
From the knee TO the hip we need
frmness and soIidity; from the knee
downward and from the hip upward the
freest pliancy. No movement of the
horse should be so sudden, and no lift
in leaping should be SO great, that
the thighs may not securely retain
their position, and the body and
calves their flexibility. Rigidity of
the body implies the transmission Of
force to the long end of the lever,
which is the father of the fall. while
rigidity of the lower legs carries an
uncontrolled impulse to the other end
Of the lever and distur5s the horse.
The absolute point Of cOntract-the
point which never yields its GRIPS
at the knees only. In the leap, and
to less degree in the gallap, these
are the constant points of COMMUNE
cation. and however much the seat
may be raised in a strong leap these
regulate its safe and correct return.
Pliancy of the hips and freedom of
the calves are the first objects to be
sought, end il is these which it is the
most difficult for the mature beginner
to acquire. Much help may be
gained from sort of calisthenic eX-
ercise of the BODY, swaying from front
to rear and from side to side, and
moving the arms in all directions f.,
retaining meanwhile a firm seat with>
GU. the action of the calves or the
heels. There should be cultivated
too the ability to reach the toe far
forward on the hors' 5 shoulder, and
to raise the heel high against his

INDIAN SUMMER.


BY J. p. IRVINE.
~ last the aforementioned days arc over.
And airs Of noon are mellow as the morn
The blooms are brown upon the seeding clover.
And brown the silk that plume the ripening corn
All sounds are husEed Of reapng and Of moving
The winds are low, the waters lie uncurled .
Nor thistle-down nor gossamer is flowing,
Solulrd In languld Incidence the world.
And vineyards wide and farms along the voll.v
Are mute amid the vintage and the shesvss.
Save round the barns the noise Of rout and spIlv
Among the tenant-mAsons Of tho caves
hiar the upland glades are hccked in darrles
BY hocks Of lambs H-yambol from the fold
And orchards bend beneath their wei ght Of apples
And groves are bright In scarlet and in gold.
But bark hear Tho phoasont's munlsd drumming,
The turtles murmur from n distant dell
drowsy bee in may tanglcs humming,
The far, faint, tiukling tepor Of boil.
And now. from yondcr beech-trunk sheer and
sterile
The rat-tat OF the yellow hammers bill,
The sharp staccato barking Of the squirrel
4 dropping nut, and all again is still
--ScrtJner FOR November,
