Tho great delight Of the Arab
horsemsn Is the ~fantasiya, writes Col.
Dodge In Harper's Magazine. The
entries contain all manner OF horse
men, armed and unarmed, who ride
more or less wild figures to more or
less monotonous drumming music,
and who end by the most excited and
exciting pot-pourri Of feat riding.
They stand in their stirrups and
throw their guns In the air, whirl
them about in the most approved
wariike style, and fire them at inter
walls In what seems an uncalled Tor
and dangerous fashion. They rear,
wheel, kick, buck, rush, stop, turn,
and twist horses, like 20 many tum.
blers, shouting meanwhile, yelling,
screaming like so many devils No
picture can do Justice tc the kaleido-
scopic fervor and wildness OF the
scene II there are many riders en-
gagged In it. 1t is a seething whirl.
pool Of wild, unmeauing. half.merry,
Mathematical excitement. In which
no end Of excellent horsemanship
comes to the fore. From time to
time the riders stop and rank them
selves for a rest on mi side; then out
come individuals to show what, sin.
gle, their steeds can do. They
piroutte and piaffer and dance, and
then make a rush at full gallop to one
or the other side, stop suddenly, and
wheel about. There is no specific art
in what they do; each man has
trained his horse on his own unframed
ideas. They have a close seat, cling
ing with their heels, and exhibit a
great deal OF skill in their gyratory
exercises; but once see the fantasiya
loses its interest. All semi-wild ma
tions do about the same tricks on
horseback. l think our Indian easily
excels them all; while nothing l have
ever seer in fantasiyas in the faintest
degree approaches in delicacy and
difficulty the fine work Of a school,
trained horse in the hands OF q master
of the art.

Life, or Luxufies?

In a sketch of an author who had
abandoned the study for the market
place, which appeared somewhere re-
Gently. the writer Of it asked the
man OF letters how he could resist
the call to the literary life, to which
he replied that there was a stronger
call: that he was making a future
for his children. II must have
money!" he continued, ''and l get it,
but not by literature"
Life is, certainly, a series OF choices.
II a man regards it az more valuable
to his children to leave them bank
stocks and rent rolls than to leave
them the inheritance of a great name,
it is natural that he devote himself
to those. II Matthew Arnold had
deliberately weighed in the balance
the results of a life of devotion to
scholarly purposes and critical litera-
ture, and the results of life devoted
to trade, and had chosen the market
In preference to poetry and criticism.
the world would have been the poorer
for the choice. The deeper truth,
however, underlying all this trend Of
reflection is that when q man can Sc.
riously consider material accumula-
tion against Art he is not the artist.
Art chooses her votarieS, rather than
waits to be chosen by them. The
true poet does not, because he can
not, pause to decide whether he will
write his poem, tor If it be given him
to do he has no choice. The chrism
Of divine purpose is upon MIN. IT is
not the ideallst who can weigh and
balance the spiritual against the sor.
lid, the eternal against that which is
merely transient and temporal. And
the loss to literature of those who
Tan seriously balance these considera.
tionS is not a serious one.
