According to their owners accounts IS
,bera nuIs1 be very many nice horses III
this world. We doubt whether any cIenteu
! beings are so eulogized as horses. bos-
xyeIps remarks about johnson are Dareiy
COMPLIMENTARY in comparison with the ian-
GRACE used by vendors OF their horses.
The nast history OF the horse about to oe
sold Is one of UNMARRIED lusire; bis present
nersections form the subject OF poetlcal
naneoyric. and his future prospects are
dsralt nnon with atfectionate anticipation !;
tho virt1,es and good works Of bis sire, dam,
orand.dam. brethren. and half-brethren are
Soyinrly narrated. No human being ever
enioyed such untarnished reputation. ln-
deed. the accounts OF salable horses surpass
the lives OF the saints.
There are, on the other hand, horse. DEAL
ers who avoid fulsom flattery OF their wares
When they do condescend to speak OF them,
they speak confidently, and as II the admls,
sion Of their PROJECTIONS had been eXtorted
from them urwillingly. They are careiul
TO point out disqualiticationsl in horses Wnlch
they do not expect you to buy, ana when
they come 10 the particular beast that they
intend you to purchase they rather hint
at than describe its merits. You are,
however, completely reassured as 10
their opinion Of the horse by the very
high price which they ask for 1t. we are
not very fond Of ostentatIously-honl'
est horse dealers. They converse mucn
about irrelevant topics, and apparently feel
more pride and pleasure in showing you
their roses than their horses. When III last
q move is reluctantly made to the siaoies tue
business is treated as somewhat uh"ei'
come but unavoidable duty. They evidently
feel that this also is vanity, and leave you
with the suppression that they would inl-
nitely prefer reading the Bible with you IN
their back parlors. Yet, somehow or other,
we seldom find ourselves much the better
after a deal with sanctimonious horse
dealer. This mention of sanctimonious
horse-dealers reminds us that we once pur-
chased q horse from clergyman. We dare
not trust ourselves 10 write about that trans
