A Very selr.willed Horse.

There Is an old nursery rhyme which
teaches that kindness and patience are
the best methods TO pursue in the case
OF donkey that wouldn't GO" An
English gentleman relates that he had a
horse that ''wouldn' t CO. Tut when he
came 20 try the patience remedy he
found that the horse had a larger sup
ply OF that virtue than he himself pos.
.essed, which, as viii presently be seen,
was considerable.
The English gentleman's horse was q
confirmed "balkcr.n One Saturday af.
teruoon, when he was returning home
in his dog-csrt, the horse baked, as IL
had often done before, and its master
thought that this time he would try
what calmneSs and patience would
do, Accordingly he sat still in the
dog-cart, an&addrossed the animal in
soothing tones and kindly Words but
10 no purpose. II was exactly ten min
utes past four on Saturday afternoon
when the horse stopped in the middle
Of the road.
The afternoon wore away, the sun
sank below the horizon, darkness set
tied down over the landscape, and yet
tile man and horse remained to fight
out the battle between obstinacy and
patience. Through the long night they
staid there, the whip remaining quietly
in the socket, and when the sun arose
after his voyage around the world he
found the contest sill going on.
AZ six O'Clock IN the morning the
owner babe his groom fetch n cart-rope
and tie ii 10 the horses fore-lcg; but
when the groom did so, and pulled with
all his might the only result was that
the horse stood with his forc.leg stuck
out aS If IL were a bronze statue. At
seven O'Clock the horse became perfect
~ furious, seizing the shaft with his
teeth, and shaking IL, kicking and
stamping with rage the while. Al half
past seven the groom tried to tempt
him with u measure Of oats, but the
angry beast would have none Of it, not
withs,anding that II was twenty hours
since he had had mouthfdl of food or
a drop of water
Then his master had TO confess him
sell beaten in the trial Of patience, and
having procured some tough shoots of
ground-ash, he applied them to Mr..
Horses back so vigorously that that
selfwilled quadrnped was Obliged 10 con-
fess himself beaten SO far as his hide
was concerned, II was then twenty
minutes before eight ON Sunday morn
ing, the contest having lasted .G6oea
hot'rs and "a haiG during which the
horse did not bulge an inch. nor his
owner stir from his seat in the carriage.
This IS probably the most remarkable
exhibition OF obstiracy on the one side
and of patience on the other that was
ever known, and the story as told here
is exactly true. -HWpcr's ioang ie7-

Careful MIXING.

The large flow of milk of cows is not
natural. but artificial. In a state OF
nature animals give only sufficient milk
tc nourlsh their young. This illustrates
one OF NE great truths of ethics and
physics, that nature allows no waste

so nature did not provide milk for that
purpose Nor is it hardly correct to
say mat this large How is produced by
