- Powerful Playful"

Wrestler Muldoon, who is lover
Of horses, is telling an amusing incl
dent about biting horse he once
owned. 1t was in Belfast, \. Y, his
summer home. This horse was
splendid equine specimen and he had
paid $500 for him when he was a colt,
As he grew older his vicious tricks
began to show themselves and sew
eral hostlers had felt his teeth. as
well as his heels. One day Mr.. Null
doom said TO a colored man that if he
would dispose of the animal he would
give him all over $500 he got.
The helper jumped at the PROPOSE
tion and sought eagerly for pur-
chaser. The hotelkeeper told him
a city gentlemen had seen and adj
mired the horse and he thought him
n very likely buyer. An appoint
ment was made TO show the animal
that afternoon. When the horse was
in the barnyard he behaved himself
admirably, but just so soon as he was.
driven to the street he began to cut
capers. This was point the colored
man well knew, SO he made arrange
ments to show him in the barnyard.
The city gentleman was there at
the appointed time, and the horse
was led forth looking the picture of
amiability. The hustler logged him
up and down before the prospective
buyer, all the time expatiating upon
his quiet qualities. Just as the man
had made up his mind to take the
horse, he gave snort, jumped into
the air and viciously grabbed the
colored man by the shoulder and
literally lifted him of the ground.
thought you said he was quiet
demanded the city gentleman of the
hostler. Oh. he's all right boss,
he's powerful playful animal; he's
just playing, that's all. . But tire
sale was declared of then and there.

Leave me here those looks OF yours !
All those pretty airs and lures:
Flush of cheek and fash of eye;
Your lips smile and their deep dye;
Clean OF the white teeth within;
Dimple OF the cloven chin;
All the sunshine that you wear
In the summer Of your hair;
All the morning of your face;
All your figures wilding grace;
The fiower-pose Of your head, the light
Flutter of your footsteps flight:
j own all, and that glad heart
must claim ere you depart.
Go, yet go not unconsoled
Sometime, after you are old,
You shall come, and i will take
From your brow the sullen ache,
From your eyes the twilight gaze
Darkening upon winter days,
From your feet their palsy pace,
And the wrinkles from your face,
From your lock the snow; the droop
OF your head, your worn frames stoop,
And that withered smile within
The kissing Of the nose and chin:
j own ALL and that sad heart
will claim ere you depart.
