THE CHRISTIANS BELLS.
Hark-hear The bells,

Hark-hear The bells,
Whose music tells
or Christmas Joy, as sinks and swells
Each sound that sings
Ofhappy things,
This birthday of the King of Kings.
Lo, on this day.
The glad bells say,
In Bethlehem, far, far away,
And long ago,
In manger low,
Was born the Christ Who loved thee SO.
A radiant star
Shone bright and far
Above the plains where shepherds were,
And led the.way,
That Christmas Day,
To where the young Jesus lay.
Oglorious morn
When Christ was born
Among the garnered wheat and corn;
Ohappy place
Where His dear face
First shed the sunshine of Its grace.
Above the plain
A heavenly strain
Ofmusic rang; and its refrain
Is ringing still
Ger height and hill
BE Peace on Earth. to Men Good WILL"
Rejoice to-day,
The glad bells say;
Put all the cares that vex away;
Let Christmas cheer
Find welcome here.
And bless this best day o the year.
To Christ, thy King,
AS tribute bring
Thy heart, aud let the offspring
Withlove be sweet.
AS at His feet
Thy lips its grateful VOWS repeat.
Rejoice and sing,
The glad bells ring,
In honor of the worlds dear King;
Let love increase;
May discord cease.
All hall, all hail. thou Prince of Peace!

Saddle Horses.

Mr.. Editor DEAR SIR I would
address the readers Of your journal on a
subject which should interest every
farmer and raiser of horses in the State
of Vermont, namely, saddle horses.
The trotting horse has received the at
tention Of hoTsemen to such degree
that there is scarcity Of line carriage
and saddle horses in all our large cities.
The demand for these is much greater
than the supply. This is especially the
case in regard to saddle horses. Now II
there is one breeder of fine riding horses
in this State have never heard Of him /;
il there is one thoroughly broken saddle
horse in the whole State do not know
of it, and further, il there is one man
who knows how to break and train a
colt for the saddle, and the saddle only,
l do not know the man. In the South
where the boys are almost born in the
saddle, 30 to speak, all these are COM
mon.
1t takes but little time, comparatively,
to train horse for the saddle. Two
months will do it, while it takes years
to train and fully develop atrotter. So,
too, the expense Of training trottink
horse is much greater, to say nothing OF
the time required.
The we'll trained saddle horse brings
good price in New York and in the large
cities. Three hundred dollars and from
that up to one thousand, or even more,
is the range at four years old. Does not
this pay as well as anything the farmer
can do2 And why should not en- agri
cultural and horse breeders association
encourage the raising Of such horses by
Offering at their fairs premiums for the
beet saddle horses. and the best riders.
At the Southern fairs riding, by male
and female riders, is one Of the great
features OF the exhibitions. Why should
1t not be made such at our northern
fairs? II the young men and women Of
our State would train themselvest to ride,
a great attraction might be added to our
annual fairs. Surely 1t would be muC1
better for the young men 10 so spend
their time, than in attending horse trots
with all their demoraliziDg influences.
One would certainly think, too, it would
be much more agreeable.
hope the managers OF our fairs Will
turn their attention to the raising and
training of fine saddle horses. There
cannot be a more profitable work for the
farmer. MOSES HARRINGTON.
