Mr.. SIDNEY BUXTON relates in the
An'imal World, that his pony gets very
cross when disparaging remarks are
made upon him, and becomes furious,
stamping about his stall, putting back
bis ears and attempting to bite, If he is
greatly pleases him. Dogs, and proba-
bly, horses, know the difference between
being laughed at in derision and being
laughed at in admiration, and enjoy the
latter as much as they resent the for
mer. The truth is, that it is only those
creatures which can feel sympathy with
men which can also appreciate ridicule.
The horse sympathizes evidently with
many OF his riders feelings and amuse-
ments, while the dog can enter into no
small proportion Of his feelings-as
Cowper's dog "Beau," for instance,
entered into the poets desire to possess
himself of the water-lily.

could yet find in his heart to regard a.
false and dangerous. He was even ven,
turing to make Mrs. George Downes
that exception said to be contingent on
every rule, when suddenly all bis sus.
picions were forced into active life and
prominence.
One day-a very wet one-a close car
risge drove up to Georges house, and
Mrs. George, heavily cl0aked and veil.

"Very well, ma'am," said Mark, sus.

whether you confess to having been out
to-day"
So he went over to Georges, played
rubber or two with his favorite, and
tried every way to induce q confession
as to the drive in the rain; but the
young wife would make no allusion to
it. This was on Monday. On Thurs
day, at the same hour, the carriage came
again, and Georges wife went away in
it. The next week she went out on
three different days, and twice, the
