TrOttinK Horses,

Vermont has long been celebrated for its
trottng horses and the Morgan breed is so
identified with that state that the name is al
most synonym Of the horses raised there.
In New York, however, the greatest attcn.
ton is paid to the business the single county
of Orange having over one hundred breeding
establishments, some of which are very cX-
tcnsive.
Millions of dollars are invested in stock
farms all along the Hudson river, in the breed
ing of horses.
There are smaller breeding establishments
in nearly all the states, but the business is not
carried on in any others as 1t is in Vermont
and New York.
For the last thirty or forty years the value of
rotting horses has increased even faster than
their number or speed, their rate beng more
than one hundred per cent every decade.
In 1853 Flora Temple was sold for eight
thousand dollars, in 1862 the California Dam
sci sold for eleven thousand 1866 Young Po-
cahontas for thirtytvc thousand, and in 1867,
DeXter,who in that year surpassed all previous
speed trotting mile in 211l5, sold for thirty
three. thousand.
1t 4 no unusual thing for fast trotling horses
and fine stock horses OF the best trottng blood
to sell for from ten thousand to twenty thous-
and dollars
This shows the immense popularity OF the
American breed of trolting horses and the
amount of wealth they represent
The founder of this breed seems to have been
the Messenger whose lineage is traceable back
to some Of the very finest Arabian blood in
England,
He was imported into New York in 1888,
and was Of superior form and extraordinary
power and spirit
HIS form, with the remarkable vitality and
endurance Of his race, has endowed his pro
gcny (Which has been pcrsitcntly used and
trained to troting) with extraordinary courage
and endurance.
So grca; has been the impress Of this won
dcriul stamina and splendid form upon Amcri.
can horses that his value may be estimated at
millions of dollars to the country.
His stock has been bred in and in to an un-
prcccdcntcd degree, without any of the disas-
trous effects generally produced by il breed
ing stock.
This success has led many To think, where
sire and dam are affected with no disease, in
breeding may he rcSortcG To with safety, the
only effect being to intensity in the progeny
the characteristics common 10 both parents

An Old Yarn.

A melancholy woman lay
In sickness on her bed,
And in faint and broken voice,
To her sad husband said
Dear David, when my earthly form
Hath turned to lifeless clay,
O. wait and weep little While,
Nor throac yourself dacdy.
4 know a woman kind and true
On whom you may depend;
o, marry Arabela Jones
She is my dearest friend.''
Eyes, Hattie, l have much desired
To talk of this before
For Arabella Jones and I
Have thought the matter o'er.''
''Then you and Arabella Jones
Have been too smart an sly;
tell you, David Wilkinson,
I'm not a going to die!
Her dark eyes flashed, her strength returned,
She left her bed Of pain:
A week had hardly passed away
When she was well again.
