IMAGINATION.

It Is impossible forhuman beings to be
cheerful at alls times. Indeed, we are
SO constituted that it seems as though we
must have something to be wretched
about. If orF actual circumstances do
not admit of this oonsummation, then our
life is a world of imaginary evils, and we
weep as though Wefhad real sorrow. In
stead OF taking > bright and cheering
view we seem never to be quite happy
unless we have an Opportunity to put an
"if" or "but" in somewhere. We al
ways keep an eye. out for q storm cloud,
and make ourselves unhappy over the
possibility Of its coming, whether it ever
actually comes OF nok We once heard of
an invalid VINO insisted 10 his doctor that
he was certainly growing weaker e-e.y
day, and that the end was not far off
"Why, Doctor" he said one day, in
querulous tones, ga month ago could
walk round the park yonder, and to-day
Twas so weak that i eeuld only walk half
round and then back again" If he had
only thought q minute, he would have
discovered that to walk half way round
and back again was Just as far as to walk
ell the way round. The best way to live
is to live as well as you can, and the only
way to take care of the future is to let i
take care OF itself. Ta - ~ =

Healthfnlness Of Frnit.

Fruit need not be considered luxury
while apples are in the market; and they
possess nourishing and medicinal proper
ties of no mean order. This is not q new
statement, but it is one that win bear
repeating. n.has been said, with good
deal Of force, that a truth has to be
proclaimed seven hundred times In the
English Parliament before the least at
tention is paid to it. 1t is known among
editors, as it Is among advertisers, that q
similar rule prevails with respect to what
is published in the newspapers. A raw,
mellow apple is ordinarily digested in an
hour and half, while a boiled cabbage
requires five hours; and again, on au-
thority, "apples, if eaten with break
fast. omitting meals for the time, have
an admirable effect ON the system, re-

.jus4 been up On the mountain, aud
there he saw n drunken man los
fdg his money 10y tins hsndful,
betung on the color of three. cards
thi,tshe was throwing down; that he
lIad an idea of going hack and win
ming it, for tue fellow was losing it
all,aDyway, and he wanted to make
a donation to the church, etc. Of
course the preachers were horri-
fed at TIE idea of betting, but the
oily-tongued man persuad ed them to
accompany him anyway. and sure
enough there was the drunken fel.
low with three cards betting his
money recklessly and losing nearly
every time. The preachers n.w-
made friend finally said that he
would bet five hundred dollars that
he could tell which was the red
card, which was accepted by the
party. On counting out
his money he found that he lacked
something oyer two hundred dollars,
and borrowed the deficiency from
the preachers, showing them con-
clusively that he would have q
Thousand as soon as the card was
turned, and then would return 1t,
with fifty dollars for the support Of
the present ministry. The money
up, the card was turned, and Of
course it was black So the collec-
tion Of many a Sunday was "gone

This incident was related to us
BY a man who vouehed for its truth

within the last two weeks. .Ofl

Put on him an easy collar, having q
pair Of reins attached, on add two pieces
| to lengtheni the traces, and let strong
man walk behind, holding these. After
| . few minutes the leader may order the
man to pull the traces very gently, 50 as
/ to press the collar but slightly at first.
In d Httle time he may pull tighter,
NAfi6 the leader keeps his eye on the
colt, and II ihe shows any signs of finch
ing, let him order the trees to be slack
ened, and then gradually drawn q little
tighter, until the colt is seen to lean int.
his collar, when the man who holds the
traces may use his whole force, for 0
short time only. The traces must now
be slackened again, and the sane course
gone over repeatedly rbat-stopping the
colt occssioualtY tcI gentle him, taking
care, however, to slack the traces Just as
he stops, and to turn a little to one side
when startling each time while the man
pulls the opposite trace H.-4aSs
Po3 After the exercise 5let him be taken TO
the ecaft erlother vehicle for which he Is
intended; allow him tosmell and examine
it. then push it caway and draw it up to
HIM several times, raising and lowering
the shafts until he tRkes no notice of the
noise, or Of the apparent difference when
1sssea and I6Tarhd. Now hafn him
around and put him between the sllhfts;
rub them against has sides; epush back
anddraw up the cart, striking him behind
and ON the sides with il, until he allows
himself to be knocked about by il, so
to speak. This will do for one days les-
son. Next day let all his harness be put
on, leaving chains or straps to hang and
tstrike against. him, while the whole Of
tlte previous days lesson is gone through
step by step. Same on third and fourth
days. !, He may then be yoked or hitehed
10 the cart, and should have at least one
hours exercise in going up and down
hill. turning, etc. First start on Level
ground If these directions are carried

draws il not meant TO hurt him, and he
viii never try TO kick it away or run of
from it. ~ - ll's.-
Rules for training:
!. Never try. to beat colt into doing
q thing, for IL nervous, he may turn out a
vicious horse, and If stupid he may be-
come stubboFn.h Remember, by patience
end gentleness he can be got to do any
thing that will not hurt him.,
2. When the horse shows signs Of shy
ing at an object, do not beat HIM, but
lead him up to it, allowing him 20 stand
and look, as he comes closer; and after
he examines it few times he will not
fear anything of the kind again. In
passing by hedges with q colt throw in
stones and stop him until he takes no no
tice of the noise.
J s. Before putting on any article of har-
ness let your colt smell il, and then rub
against his head and body.
