vices they ever had. Did you ever know
man having the lie-ability to defame his
neighbor, that would go around the corner
to see the best horse in the state?
There is contradistinction to this class
suggested to my mind by reading in the
GLOBE the result of a rattle that lately
took place for son of Western Chief.
Some one has said that there is divinity
that shapes our ends" don't know who
said it; probably some shoemaker or hat
ter. However, let US look and see
what there is divine. in connection
with the rattle. Well, the horse belonged
to man that pays his debts, fears God
and goes fishing consequently he had
kind and considerate master, but he was
to be rallied off, perhaps to fall into
the hands of some one having more gall
than consideration for dumb animals. But
divinity steps in and causes all the fves
and skies to turn face up when that good
friend of the horse, Squire Wood, shakes
the box, and the animal becomes the prop
erty of man, knowing the rights of
horse dare maintain them.
One day on Third street l saw poor old
woman appeal to the squire for aims. Of
course her application was success,
and as promptly as he dropped
the quarter into her hand he
| turned to feast his eyes on the form of a
fine horse that was passing up the street.
| The countenance of the man when contem-
plating human woe, as personated in the
! poor old woman, presented cast of sym
pathy and commiseration, but as quickly
| as his eyes met the form of the animal, all
was changed to glow of light. The beau
ties of animated animal nature, and prac
| tical sympathy for the woes of humanity,
controlled the same heart at the same mo-
ment. I then took the squire by the arm
and we slowly, but deliberately, took a
walk, around the corner into Wabashaw
street.
"a bottle and an honest friend, what more does
a man want?H
The author of this sentiment may
have loved the girls more than horses,
but no person ever had better apprecia
ton of their quality than he, when de-
! scribing Tam O'Shanters mare.
The GLOBE says that my good friend T.
B. Marret, has been offered fifteen thou
sand dollars for his sorrel PAGER, and that
the horse was too good for the money. If
the turf editor does not consent to remove
one round 80" from these figures, I shall
spend the balance of my life in obtaining
poor piece of land to trade for sorrel
PAGER. However, it may be true, and if
there is any person that is glad of it more
than I, let him stand up and be counted.
For the benefit of Martin Delaney, will
state that the gray mare Pilotta
by Pilot Hutchinson, that brought with
me from st. Paul, is being driven daily,
and that she is forming up, and stepping
out handsomely, and can now trot nearly
as fast as her mother can pace.
And to Mr.. McGrath, who is fully nine
tailors concentrated into one, will say
that the young filly sired by his stallion,
Theseus, is growing finely, and promises
to do great credit to its sire, which in my
opinion will prove to be one of the best
in Minnesota. VETERAN.
NoTE-'Veteran" need not fool away
his time in hunting for poor piece of
land to trade for a PAGER. The last big
round 80" in the mention of the sum
offered ourf riend Capt. Marrett for his
PAGER, was the fancy of the intelligent COM
positor.-ED.
