Horse Education.

In something written We have aR
indistinct recollection of having made
reference TO a general disposition
among boys in their teens, as well as
boys Of maturer years, To enlighten
and bless the world with their pro-
found knowledge Of the horse and his
history. Our books and newspapers
are full Of this kind of literature, and
it varies in style from the production
Of the child at school. commencing
with: The horse mas four legs and i
tail; up to the eloquent tribute nf the
scholar when he quotes from job: That
his neck is clothed with thunder and
the glory of his nOstrils is terrible
He smelleth the battle afar off. the
thunder of the captains aud the
shouting. Between these two ex-
tremes Of the child at his first school
composition, and the professional
literature, We have every grade of pre-
tentIon, anu each protesting {" have
mastered the whole subject. As We
approach the close of this nineteenth
century, We begin to look for some
thing better in this department of
knowledge from those who assume to
instruct. And it is to be found in
Kendalls Treatise on the horse, sent
by mail to any person for twenty-five
cents, postage paid. Apply to THE
