Unsatisfying Portion.

The San Francisco Neacs Letter tells the
following story: A certain stock broker in
this town had landlady, pleasant sort of
woman, but had an eye on the main chance.
One evening the good lady became lachry-
NOSE. "What ails you, Mrs. S.? sympathe-
tically asked the big-hearted broker.
ooh, sir" replied the dame, Pm in heap
of trouble. do wish was rich"
"Thats very common disease. How
much now, would you call a comfortable in
dependence?'
"Well," said the lady, eff l had two thou
sand dollars I'd be n happy woman"
The broker reflected. He wanted to make
the old woman happy, and so he invested in
Consolidated Virginia to the amount oftwcn-
ty shares, which gave n profit of $4,000, which
he instantly handed To Mrs. s with his best
regards. The lady was overjoyed. She wept
ON his waistcoat she called him her pTeser-
yer; she would have kissed him, but he would
not let her At last, when her transports had
somewhat subsidized, the instinct of money
making began to show itself, and she request
ed the broker to rcinvest the whole sum on
her behalf He demurred; he objected; he
begged other to be content with the profit
she had made. He knew the uncertainty of
stocks hut all in vain Mammon reignod
triumphant in the old woman's breast She
insisted he yielded, and lost half the invest
ment. The old lady had $4,000 left, but was
she satisfied? No. She actually sued the
broker for the remainder

in Iowa the other day, when a servant girl
suddenly recollected, just as twenty people
were sitting down to ice cream, that she ac-
cidentally split arsenic in the freezer.

II we were to go to many blacksmith and
ask him if he did not think nature had made
mistake in putting the clumsy frog into the
horses foot, he would hardly be ready to
say yes, and very likely would put on a sur
prised look, and perhaps explain that in some
countries horses did very well without shoes,
and SO the frog was lift to care ofitself But
while not ready to take ground with you in
any criticism ofthe plan upon which The foot
is constructed, you have but to look in the
corner of the shop where two horses stand
newly shod; lift up their feet and observe for
yourself, that ifthe smith has not said it, the
knife has said the frog is bad thing, and
must be cut away. The horses do not stand
on the ground, but nearly half an inch higher
on the iron of their shoes, and which takes
the weight of the horse on the outer shell of
the boot The practice is as sensible as it
would be for man who had to travel on all
fours taking the weight on the nails of his
fingers and toes rather than on the cushion
which lies behind them. 1t is always the
soft part-the india rubber part of the
feet of animals that have sucl-which re-
ceives the weight, and not the shelly, hard
part. We know what an elephants foot is;
it is all rubber-liko, The horse has the same
encased in shell, which gives him accuracy
and steadiness ofmovement. Now, this cas-
ing protects the frog. 1t grows slowly, the
frog grows rapidly. The healthy foot of the
colt shows centre, ifnot projecting, at least
level with the line of the hoof He does not
take his weight wholly on the rim ofhis feet
Old horses would have feet more like them if
blacksmiths would allow they knew n little
less than nature, and really knew enough to
read her intentions.
The object in shocing the ANIMAL aside
from the occasional one of changing its gait
is simply to prevent the wear and shattering
of the outer shell, and 10 enable il to take u
fimcr hold of the ground, escaping the
slipping of the unshod horn. II is an unfor-
trnate incident ofour system ofshoeing that
the horse is raised from the ground as boy
is when he mounts stills.
