is then rubbed down with a quart of
rum, her legs are washed, but not one
drop of water goes on her shoulders or
back; her ankles are bandaged and
she lies down for a snooZe.
If the brown beauty is not in perfect
trim, she is dosed, ALPHABETICALLY. She
is given six drains of 'aloes to reduce
fat; the drug is put in the center of a
ball, size of marble, made of ginger,
to warm and prevent gripes, and oiled
meal. Her head is hung by the sur
geon, who, mounted on stepladder,
takes her tongue in his fingers and
moves it to one side. The bolus is
dropped to the root of the tongue, fin
gers removed, and down it goes. Oc-
casionally a tablespoonful of bicar-
Donate of soda and charcoal is put in
her mash to help digestion; this is her
spring medicine. She is never seen
without her blankets. unless on the
track. In the ring and in her stall she
is as carefully covered as a baby, and
she has as many wraps as q society
belle has toilets.
Her front shoes weigh twelve and
one-half ounces, the hind ones seven
ounces, of steel, fastened with four
nails on the outside and three on the
inside, instead of the nine or ten nails
generally used. She is driven with
the "sharp-bar" bit-the "snatfle" sets
her wild TO go.

head to the tip of her flowing tail. She
has the majestic grace of a queen, the
gentleness of tender girl, the intelli-

an athlete, and a record without an

half inches higher thar her withers,
which gives her the greyhound sweep,

How a Poem Was written.

At the age of twenty-one years VIII
lam Cullen Bryant was licensed to
practice law in the courts of Massa-
chusetts. 1t was not the calling for
which he was fitted: his nature wac
too shy and sensitive for the life of con.
fiict by which lawyers win fame and
fortune; but law seemed 10 him the
readiest means of earning his bread,
while literature, to which he would
gladly have devoted himself, offered
him the scantiest support.
While he and his father and the
other members of the family were dis.
cussing where he should nail up the
sign of william &. Bryant, Attorney
at Law he walked over the hills to
Plainfield, small village four or five
miles distant from Cummington, where
his father resided. The motive for the
journey was to see what inducements
the village offered for the practice OF
his profession.
He felt "very forlorn and desolate, y
for the world seemed dark and his flu
ture uncertain. The sun had set in q
sea of chrysolite and opal, and he
stopped to contemplate the brilliant
sky. Suddenly he saw solitary wa
terfowl winging its way along the ho-
rizon, and watched it until it was lost
in the distance.
The contemplation gave him such a
stimulus that he went on with new
strength and courage, and when he
reached the house where he was to
stay for the night, he sat down and
wrote the lines, "To a Waterfowl

the hope impaired to him by the flight
of the lone wanderer:

which we are indebted for the story OF
the POEMS origin, also tells an aneo-
dote illustrative of the admiration il
excited in England.
Once, when the late Matthew Arnold
was in this country, he was visiting al
a home where Mr. Parke Goodwin, Mr..
Bryant's son-in-law, happened to spend
an evening. In the course of the con-
versation Mr. Arnold took up a vol
ume of Mr.. Bryant's poem from the
table, and, turning to Mr.. Goodwin.

Peculiar, Mo. have been arrested charged
with conspiracy TO deprive the postmas-

at other towns and gave them away or
sold them to people in Peculiar so as to
