withal and seemingly possessed Of q
kindly and philosophic spirit. meandered
up Washington street Id the tender city
of Brooklyn yesterday and halted a
the acute angle where II runs into Fuk
ton street. says tie NJ Y. Herald.
He was attached TO the business end
Of dump cart, tails horse. Seated on
the drivers throne Of said dump cart
was . man Of such benignaiit counter.
ancc that you would have sworn him
first brother to the horse on the evi.
dence OF vision. He, too. was cheerful
and philosophic. and the very spirit OF
sedateness sat upon him. He was not
q man to joke or TO be joked with.
Life wore to him serious aspect. Any
one could see that 81 a glance.
1t would be rash 10 say that the man
drove the horse. He didn't. The
bond between them was far closer than
represented by cord or leather--and
they were both In the aged harness.
The lines lay on the horses back, and
the latter took his way sedately, as q
horse who knows he Is doing contract
work for the city might be expected TO
do. II compunctiors OF conscience
smote his equine brca no signs there
Of appeared In his BET Ign and tranquil
eye. His master--or 1 should say, per.
haps. his friend--did not urge him.
At the junction heretofore mentioned
In these memoirs the pair paused and
looked about them. They paused long.
II was 30 much easier TO pause than
work. The saucy wind caught up vas.
clouds OF dust--the dust that they were
paid to cart away--and tossed 1t In the
faces Of the passins throng making the
good to pray and, the bad to swear.
But this ruffled ndi the philosophy OF
man or beast. The voice Of the boss
was not heard, for the boss was In .
neighboring ginnery tuning up. and II
was 30 much easier to rest than work
the wear and tear were NO infinitely
less.
At length the Italian gentleman who
peddles fruit at this busy confluence Of
human life broke in on the dual reyery

why. to be sure Oh will. my dago
fri'nd. Take yure time. Oi'll kape me
oies on yure doigissibles-"
The Italian went Of TO transact hia
errand.
Pretty soon the horse reached tran
GULLY over, picked up . banana with
his teeth. and munched 1t down with
satisfaction beaming from his eye. His
master looked at him zdmiringiy. and
then looked the other way. Rcprooi
was far removed from bis face.
The horse took another and then .
third. There was neither haste nor
trepidation in his action. He appeared
to secure the full favor OF each banana,
skin and all, before be began upon
another.
In this way dozen were comforta.
bly, disposed OF, and the oat cavity In
the horses interior was much reduced
in size. when suddenly an electric
shock seemed TO seize the owner. He
whirled about and began lathering the
brute with an appearance Of the most
fendish cruelty, cursing him the while
as thafe Of the wurruld, an 0madhaun,
and ! don't know what other titles.
The horse started on q run up the
street--not . very wild pace, by the
way-and the owner climbed into the
dump cart from behind and made .
tremendous show Of tussle with him.
II did not last. A moment later they
were going down Myrtle avenue at {
pious walk. and II there was not .
twinkle in four sedate but cheerful
eyes then may ] never see twinkle
again. As for the poor Italian. he goi
back In time to ave his stand, and
surely that Is enough to make any
Italian grateful. What do they want
snyway-~the earth?
