The Arabian Horse.

Arabian horses are being imported into
America 70 a slight extent of recent years.
Messenger, the famous old stallion from
whom our American trotting stock is ali
descended had large strain Of Arabian
blood in him.
Arabian stations have been brought to
this country from time to time as pres
ents to public men and others. But it IS
doubtful If a full-bloodcd Arabian mare
was ever in the United States. They
are valued more highly than the stations,
and not allowed to leave the country.
There are six distinct families of horses
IN Arabia, and the pedigree Of some Of
them runs back unmistakably for five
hundrcdycars. They come of old families
These are the horses for swiftness and
endurance. They are not draught horses,
but in the two qualities named they excel
all other breeds in the world. They
have delicate Decks and fine, small,
straight limbs, flashing eyes and strong,
flowing name and tail. They are not
large, fifteen and a half hands being an
unusual height. The back is not arehcd
much, the tail is high set and the hoofs
are always small, black and very tough.
Centuries Of pounding over the sands of
the desert have made them SO. They
have small ears and powerful chest, from
which they get their great endurance.
They are distinguished for soundness of
wind and limb, though their high-bred,
far-oiT cousin, the Kentucky horse, of
lateyears seems to be developing lack
of ofhardincss.
The Arabian horse is noted, too, for its
gentle temper and intelligence. Its mas
ter, the Arab, says the horse is Allah's
best Gift to man.

''curyture Of the spine"
At evening, when the ironin's done, an
auntys fixed the fire,
An filed an lit tho lamp, and trimmed the
wick an turned it higher
An fetched the wool all in fer night, an
locked the kitchen door
An stuffed the ole crack whero the wind
blows in up through the floor
She sets the kittle on the Goals, an bilea an
makes the tea,
An fries the liver an mush, an cooks egg
fer me,
An sometimes when cough 50 hard, hel
elderberry wine
Don't 20 so bad fer little boys with 'curv'tur'
of the spinen
But utamty's all SO childish, like, on my ac
count, you see,
I'm most afeared she'll be took down, an at
what bothers me
Cause eff my good ole aunty ever would &c
sick an die
don't know what she'd do in heaven, till
come, by an by,
For she's so ust to all my ways, an every
thing, you know,
An no one there like me, to nurse, an worr
over so,
Cause all the little childrens there's S
straight an strong, an fine,
They's nary angel bout the place wit
''curv'ture of the spine"
