Runaway Horses.

The horse that has once acquired the
habit of running away, says "The Book
of the Horse" will bolt on the first OPP
portunity. If you suspect his intention
the best plan is to check it the moment
he begins to move, taking hold of one
rein with both hands, and giving it one
or two such violent jerks that the rogue
must pause or turn round. Then stop
him, and il you doubt your being able to
hold him, get of. Perhaps a too v1gor-
Gus "plug" may make him cross his legs
and fall-not pleasant contingency, but
anything is better than being runaway
with in a street. In open country you
may compel the runaway to gallop with
a loose rein until he is tired, or to move
in constantly narrowing circle until he
is glad to halt. A ten acre field is big
enough for this expedient. But the great
point is to stop runaway before he gets
into stride; after he is once away few
bits will stop a real runaway-a steady
pull is waste of exertIon on the riders
part. Some horses may be stopped by
saving the mouth with the snaf11e. An
other expedient is to hold the reIns very
lightly, and on the first favorable oppor-
tunity, as rising hill for Instance, to try
a succession Of jerks. But the cunning,
practiced runaway is not to be so much
feared as the mad frightened horse. The
mad horse will dash against brick wall,
or jump at spiked ratings of great height.

WHERE TaE cHILpREN ARE.

Out in the fields where the daisies are grow
ing,
Far from the city away:
Out in the meadows where breeZes are blow
ing
All through the glad summer day;
Where the bees hover over
The red and white clover,
And yellow-winged butterflies soar
From flower TO flower,
Through many al hour.
Till the bright day of sunshine is DER;
Out where the sunbeams are pickering and
falling
Down through the old forest trees,
Where sweet birds are ever their truant mates
calling,
And leaves rustic low in the breeze;
Where the brook sings its song,
Running gaily along,
Past the grasses and ferns bending low
Der the ripple so bright,
Sparkling in the sunlight,
As It scatters its rays to and fro;
Out in the wealth of summer-tide glory,
Under the tender blue skies,
While nature is telling its own wondrous story
To glad human hearts, ears and eyes
Growing strong day by day,
At their wilk, merry play.
Arc the dear little children we seek;
Romplng here, romping there,
Finding joy everywhere,
Gathering dimples in chin and in cheek.

AnecdOte Of DR.. Mott, of Union Col
lopn,

On an evening preceding Thanksgiv-
ing, many years ago, two students left
the college, with the most fowl intent
procuring some of the doctors fine fat
chickens, that roasted in tree adjoining
the house. When they arrived at. the
spot one assembled the tree, while the 9TH
er stood with the bag ready to receive
the plumber. 1t so happened that the
doctor himself had just left his house,
with the view of securing the same
chickens for his Thanksgiving dinner.
The rogue under the tree hearing some
one approaching, Immediately crept away
without notifying his companion among
the branches. The doctor came up 81.

above as follows: care you ready?".Yes,n
responded the doctor, assembling his
voice as much as possible. The other
Immediately laying hands on the old
rooster, exclaimed, "Here's old Prex-
will you have him9" "Pass him along,'
was the reply, and he was soon in the
doctors bag. "Here's Marin Prex, said
the all unconscious student, grabbing a
fine old hen; twill you have her?""Yes y
again responded the doctor. "Here's
son John-will you have him?" Here's
daughter Sal-take her?' and so on un-
til he had gone regularly through the
doctors famsly and chickens.
The old man then walked off in one
direction with the plumber, while the
student, we'll satisfied with his nights
work, came down and streaked it for the
college. Great was his establishment to
learn from his companion that he had
not got any chickens, and If he gave
them to any one it must have been to
DR.. Mott. Expulsions, fines and disgrace
were uppermost in their thoughts until
the next forenoon, when both received a
polite invitation from the President, re-
questing the presence of their company
TO Thanksgiving dinner. To decline
was impossible, so with hearts full of
anxiety for the result they wendell their
way to the house, where they were pleas
antly received by the old gentleman, and
with large party, were soon seated
around the festive board. After asking
a blessing, the doctor rose from his seat,
and taking the carving-knife, turned
with smile to the rogues and said,

A Famous Horse.

We sometimes hear, or see in print, 8
horse spoken of as Bucephalus. Children
learn from their school books about the
first of that name, belonging to Alexander
previous to his being called Alexander the
Great; whose father, King Philip, was rul
er of Macedonia 335 years before the
time of Christ. This little sketch from
the school journal is worth remembering
as showing how a boy won by kindness 8
horse that men could not conquer BY
force:
One day there came to Philips court &
beautiful high-splrited war-horse, as 6
present to the king. The animal was
pure white, with the exception of black
spot the shape of bulls head on his fore
head. Now, in the Greek language
ssBucephalus' means bulls head, and SC
was the horse named. Bucephalus was
led to one of the parks which belonged te
King Philips palace, and the courtiers
and the king followed to examine him
The grooms attempted to mount him, but
were each thrown in turn, some breaking
their limbs. Then the most experienced
horseman tried, and the daring young no.
bleman; but they all gave up, for no one
could conquer the unruly horse. who be-
came more and more restless. In those
days there was no stirrups or saddles, and
it was not an easy matter to mount a vi.
c1ous horse, and those who tried to subdue
fiery Bull'shead had to give up, and
King Philip ordered the animal to be
taken away.
All this time the young Prince Alex
ander,the kings son, had stood by watch
ing the motions of the horse, and thought
that he discovered the Bucephalus strange
behavior. The prince was an intelligent
young man, full of energy and spirit, and
of reflective and considerate turn of
mind; his teacher was Aristotle, one of
the great Greek philosophers, and from
him Alexander had studied until his
powers of judgment and calculation
were improved, and above that of the
general Grec1an youths.
"Father," said Alexander, "let me try
and mount the horse"
King Philip would not hear of this. but
Alexander begged again for the favor,
this time with success. The young prince
stepped to the side OF Bulls head, pat
ted him on the neck, turned his head to-
ward the sun, and leaping quickly on
his back, rode off at high speed, holding
in perfect control the once fiery horse.
He had found that Bucephalus was fright
ened at his own shadow. King Philip
was pleased when his son returned with
the now tractable and docile horse. and
said, proudly:
Alexander, you deserve larger king
dom than Macedonia to govern"
Bucephalus became the Princes fav-
orite war horse, kneeling at Alexander's
command in order that he might mount
more easily; and when he died, at the age
of thirty, Alexander had him buried
with great ceremony on the banks of the
Hydaspes, and city founded in honor
of his memory, and called Bucephalus.

laughing.
aYou are not SO very lean," I said,
