Mr.. Glllett's Wonderful Horse.

The other evening several persons
were in cigar store on Wall Street
talking about intelligent horses. One
of them referred to a horse once owned
by &. NJ. Gillett. which he used num-
Der of years ago while in the bakery
business. The horse Mr.. Gillett pur-
chased for a mere song, the animal be-
ing so poor he was thin as rail. but
his owner, BY dint Of good feeding and
good care, brouget him up to be in all
respects a handsome equine. Mr.. Gil
lett usually kept him before the bread
and cake wagon, and the horse became
very fond Of his owner, and, being very
intelligent, would do n great many
things that were really quite wonderful
for anything short of a trick horse. In
going from house to house with his
bread and cakes Mr.. Gillett would leave
his horse at one place and then go on.
crossing the street at times until COM
ing to house where they wished to
purchase, he would call his horse,
"COme, Ned, come over here, old fell
low," and the horse would trot away to
where his owner was. get as near to
him as possible, and then stop until
ordered further. Sometimes naughty
boys would annoy Mr.. Gillett, when an
he would have to do would be to point
his finger at them and say: "Ned. Just
go for them" The horse would Law
his ears back on his neck. and in
fact 90 for the boys, on the sidewalk
or elsewhere, until he caught the wag-
on fast. and then would back off and
start again. One time Mr.. Gillett left
his horse and went away about block
distant. Going in the middle of the
street, he shouted, Come, Ned, old
fellow, hurry up" and the horse i'm
mediately started for him on a trot.
Mr.. Gillett commenced to run. which
made the horse fairly crazy to catch up
with him, SO that he came along at tre-
mendous speed. Just as the horse
reached the front of fhe Court House
the top OF one of the barrels in which
bread was carried fell OFF with clatter,
and the animal stopped stock stillin the
road, and wouldn't move again until it
had been replaced.
Mr.. Gillett always claimed his horse
was wonderfully expert in business
matters, and that to him he owed at
least some of his success in business, as
while he had Ned, in twenty years he
made 800, 900, clearing each year 9 900.

There is very little consolation to

In garb that was guitless of colors
She stood. with a duh. listless air
A creature of dumps and of dolors,
But most undeniably fair.
The folds of her garment fell round her,
Revealing the curves Of each limb:
Well proportiOned and graceful found her,
Although quite alarmingly slim.
From the hem of her robe peeped one
sandal
High art was she down to her feet;
And though could not understand all
She said could sec she was sweet
Impressed by her limpness and languor,
proffered chair near at hand:
She looked back mild sort of anger
Posed anew. and continued To stand.
Some praises next tried to mutter
Of the fan that she held to her face;
she said il was utterly utter"
And waved II with languishing grace.

Begged her gaze on the bow in the sky.

Horse diseases, like those which
afflict the human family. are more like
ly to occur in low, cold. damp places
than in those which are dry and warm.
The best stables for horses are those
situated on dry. gravelly soils with
good natural drainage. Impure air is
one of the strongest predisposing
causes of disease. Horse stables should
be kept clean, sweet, and airy. and all
affections of the lungs which will i'm
pair breathing and the proper aeration
of the blood should be corrected. In
pure water. spoiled and insufficient
food should be guarded against.
