No Horse Shoes.

The slipping Of horses on the asphalte
pavemcnts, in London, has given rise to
some discussion rs to the proper form
for shoes, whercupon writer in the
Times comes forward with the rccommen-
dation that no horse shoes at all be used
He says he has constantly dispensed with
them since 1862, adding Il have owned
over 200 animals at one time, dedicated
to all manner of purposes, draught, sad
die and pack, and not one Of them shod.
Some one will say that they worked over
grass or sand. They did not, but over
tho toughest roads imaginable, in places
excessively hard, and in Others as disa-
greeably soft and heavy He gives his
experience in Brazil, where pack horses,
without being shod, travel journeys of
over eight hundred miles. Unshod hor-
ses are also used In Brazilian cities, with
out slipping on the pavement Ofcourse,
says the writer, if an owner were to pull
off his horses shoes, and at once ride
him a long distance, he would find his
horse 90 tender on all his feet: but were
he to use him gently for fortnight, and
gradually let him feel his feet, keeping
the edges of his hoof slightly rounded
Off with rasp to prevent the ravcling up
of the edges of hoof, for the first time
since colthooa brought naked to the
ground, he would be agreeably surpris-
ed. Occasionly pairing will always be
needed, but the frog should never be cut
The writer anticipates an objection which
will occur too many readers "Some one
will be likely to say that draught horses
have to dig their toes in the ground te
start Il load. OF course they have wher
they are shod. But the unshod horse
starts with the fiat Of his foot. which af
fords him mnch larger and more hold
ing surface--more holding because it is
tougher and rougher than bright shoe

POETRY.
Tired Mothers.

A little elbow leans upon your knee
Your tired knee that has so much to bear
A ehild's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thateh of tangled hair
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm moist fingers holding yours so tight
leu do not prize the blessing overmueh
You almost are too tired to pray tonight.
But 1t is blessedness. year ago
did not see 1t as | do to-day--
We arc all so dun and thankless, and to slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away
And now 1t seems surprising strange to mo
That while | wore the badge of motherhood
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brougt me only good.
And if, some night whenyou sit down to rest
You miss the elbow on your tired knee
This restless curly head from off your breast
This lisping tongue that elatters constantly
lffrom your own the little hands has slipped
And nc'er would nestle in your palm again.
If the white feet into the grave had trlpped--
could not blame you your heartache then
wonder that some mothers ever fret
At their little children ,linging to their gown
Or that the footprints, when the days are wet
Are over black enough to make them frown
If | could find a little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket on my chamber floor
II | could kiss u rosy, restless foot,
And hear it patter in my house once more.
If could mend a broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make q kite to reach the sky,
There is no woman in Gods world could say
She was more blissfully content than !
But ah !! the dainty pillow next my own
Is ever rumpled by a shining head!
My singing birding from its nest has flown---
The little boy used to kiss is--dead'
