With many people all other consid-
erAtiOns must yield to their notions of
symmetry, which often turn out to
msa mere balancing or measuring of
one part with another, and not the
higher harmony Of parts which some
times involves a little irregularity. The
artist finds that the symmetry of his
picture is helped by making the objects
which he represents at n side'of the
canvas higher than those which he de-
piets on the other.
Not so. however, was il with a
worthy man, by occupation a carpen-
ter. who once had charge of the ar
engagements at an exhibition given at a
country town in aid of a charity. A
tableau was to be given in which the

was a poet of no little reputation in
the country around, was TO be shown
seated in a chair and surrounded by
the muses.

ladies; why, there are nine Of US.

THE ROAD HOG.

In no place is the hog more offensive
than on the highway. The biped, not
the quadruped, is meant. The man who
drives so slowly as to obstruct the vehi-
Gle behind him and, when an attempt is
made to pass him, starts into rapid
gait, is hog. The man who drives rap
idly past team ahead of him and then
holds suddenly up is a hog. The man
who, driving at a brisk gait, with team
Immediately behind, suddenly stops to
talk with a person he meets is a hog.
The man who is driving slowly and de-
liberately refuses to give team coming
up behind him room to pass by is a hog.
The man who refuses to give half of the
road to a team he meets is a hog. The
man who leaves his team in the middle
of the road, while he is transacting busi-
ness at Il roadside house, is a hog. The
man who speeds his horse, in place
where vehicles are constantly passing
either way, is a hog. When travellers
driving from opposite directions meet
and stop to talk on the road and thus OBJ
stluct the passage of others, there is a
strong suspicion that two hogs have met.
In no place where men come in contact
is equality of rights more imperative
than Oh the public highway. There
none can claim precedence or preference.
The humbest and the most sumptuous
-turnouts have the same rights and their
occupants are on equal footing for the
time. The we'll bred man will recognize
this and shape his conduct accordingly.
He will observe the minutest points of
road etiquette, while the boor will make
himself conspicuous by his boorishness.
If he meet team, the well bred man
will give it full half of the road to pass
and more, if he can do it with safety to
himself. If team drive up behind him
evidently wishing to travel faster than
his gait, he will turn one side and give it
full space to pass. If he overtake team
on the road moving slower than he de-
sires to travel, he will pass quickly by
without offensive demonstration or air of
bravado. If he stop on the road to talk
with a person he meets, he will be care
full to not obstruct the passage of a vehi-
Gle coming up behind him. If he has oc-
casion to leave his team on the road un-
fastened, he will get it fairly out of the
travelled path. If he meet a heavily
loaded team in a hard place, he will give
it the best side of the road without re-
gard to his own rights as traveller. He
will concede special consideration to la
dies driving on the road. If returning
from church or funeral, he will not at
tempt to crowd his horse, nor break a
line of carriages by driving by. except
in case of strict necessity. He will not
speed his horse on highways while vehi-
cles are constantly passing and repass-
ing. If these simple amenities of travel
were scrupulously observed, there would
be less unpleasantness and fewer collis-
ions on the road and riding would indeed
be Observation-Disclosures.
