forth violent oaths. Just then three
horsemen in military undress, who were
riding by, paused, and one of them ask

thanked the plowman tor his answer, and
added: my friend, I am older than

doesn't comprehend the difference be-

EQUINE sAGACITY.

Reinett, as in all the old Dutch towns
in the colony, there is, in the centre Of
the place, large market square, where
the farmers, traders and Others, arriv-
ing with their produce at any hour of
the day or night may ttout-span" the
oxen or horses from their wagons, send
the cattle out to the tscommonage'' to
feed, while they bivouac at their
wagons, ss is the won't of African
travellers to do, until the eight o'clock
morning market auction. An old
horse belonging to one of these parties
had wandered about in search Of grass
and water-vainly, no doubt, for it
was during the severe drought from
which the country is but now recover
ing. Coming to the great bare market
place, and finding a knot of men talk
ing there, he singled out one of them,
and pulled him by the sleeve with his
teeth. The man, thinking the hose
might possibly bite, repulsed him, but
as it was not very roughly done he
returned to the charge, with the same
reception; but he was a persevering
animal, and practically demonstrated
tho axiom that perseverance, gains
the day." for upon his taken the chosen
sleeve for the third time between his
teeth, the owner awoke to the idea
that u deed of kindness might be
required of him so putting his hand
upon tho horses neck he said, "All
right, old fellow; march on ~ The
horse at once led the way to q pump |
at the further side of the square. Some |
colored servants were lounging about |
the spot. One of them, at the bidding
of the white man, filled the bucket
with water three times was the bucket
replenished and empticd before the
"great thirst" was assuaged, and then
the grateful brute almost spoke his
thanks to his white friend by rubbing
his nose gently against his arm, after
which he walked off with great sigh
of relief. A story somewhat analogous
to the foregoing wes told me by a friend,
whose uncle, an old country squire in
one OF our western counties, had a
favOrite hunter in loose box in the
stable. One warm summer day he
was stathirst, }" and could get no water.
He tried to draw the groom's attention
to the fact, but without success. The
horse was not to be discouraged he
evidently gave the matter considera-
ton. The thirst was pressing. All at
once he remembered that he always
had a certain halter put upon his head
when led to water. He knew where it
hung. He managed to unlock it from
the peg, and carried it to the groom,
who at once, in great admiration of
tho knowledgeable brute, rewarded
him in the manner he desired.

WE omitted last week to record an i'm
portant meeting in the Episcopal Church.
The congregation desired to make a united
movement to relieve the church of its in
debtedness. 1t is true that as corporation
it is not in debt at all, the balance of the
expenses of their new building having been
shouldered by individual members, but of
course the congregation considers it sacred
duty to relieve these gentlemen of their La
bilities. For this purpose a meeting had
been called for Thursday, the Sd inst, which
duly assembled in the church building at ~
p. NJ. on that day, the Right Rev. the Bishop
of the Diocese presiding. Addresses were
made by the Rev. p. A. Fits, Capt. Polk G..
johnson and Major Henry. This latter gem
tleman spoke in his happiest vein and took
the lead in the proceedings throughout the
evening. The result was p subscription to
the amount of $500 during the meeting,
which has since been supplemented by $500
more. This leaves 5000 still to be raised,
part of which it is anticipated viii be raised
tomorrow, as the Easter offerings will be
devoted to that purpose. We cordially con-
graduate our Episcopal friends upon the
near approach of relief from their embar-
easements, and accord high commentator
10 the members who have practiced a degree
of self-denial and munificence far beyond
what their pecuniary circumstances would
render obligatory on them.
