SundinI Ninximn.

II is quite an interesting thing to
learn that some of our best known
proverbs and notices were originally
used in connection with sundials. Be
fore the days of watches and clocks,
when dials and sun marks We're among
the rude means of reckoning time, 1t
was n prevailing custom to inscribe
them.
Among the maxims traceable to this
source are, make hay while the sun
shines" "The longest day must end
and "All things do wax and wane."
Sundals spoke the truth, as may be
inferred from historic one which was
placed on st. Paul's cross, in London,
and which proclaimed, Il number none
but sunny hours" This no one will
doubt who has had occasion TO consult
dial ON an overcast day.
A famous dial in Sussex, England,
bore four famous notices applicable to
the flight of time and the brevlty of
life. They We're as follows: After
darkness, light" ALAS, how swiftW
Il warn whilst move" and 80 passes
life"
Another old sundial spoke pctulant-
y about the same subject in the words,
"Si:rah. be gone about your business"

A Sensitive Horse,

Harsh treatment, though it stop short
of inhicting physical pain, keeps a
nervous horse In state of misery. On
the other hand, it is perfectly true, as
a besotted but intelligent stable keeper
once observed to me, "a kind word for
a hoss is as good sometimes as a feed
of oats"
a single blow may be enough to spoil
a racer. Daniel Lambert founder of
the Lambert branch of the Morgan
family, was thought as three-year-old
to be the fastest trotting stallion of his
day. He was very handsome. stylish.
intelligent horse, and also extremely
sensitive.
His driver, Dan Mace, though one of
the best reinsmen in America, once
made the mistake, through Ill temper
or bad Judgment, of giving Daniel
Lambert severe cut with the wblp.
and! that single blow put an end to his
usefulness as a trotter. He became
wild and ungovernable in harness and
remained so for the rest of his life.

Force of Habit.

Speaking of force of habit, some
years ago there was an iron railing
around the capitol grounds at Wash
ington. The appropriation bill provided
for watchman to close and lock the
gates every night at Il certain hour and
open them at certain hour every
morning. In the course of time the
railing or fence was removed, but the
gates swung between their Egyptian
pillars for long time, and all that
time the watchman came and went
regularly, closing and opening the
gates according to law and drawing his
salary.
