THE HILL.

/ am homesick for a hill,
For a barren hill and bare.
l have dreamed of it through days
OF the binding city glare,
When my tired-lidded eyes
Ached for something far TO see,
! have dreamed of how it stood,
And how cool its shade must be.
Now know the north winds come,
Meet the winds from out the west,
And upon its barren slope
In gigantic battle wrest.
From the city let me go
On its heathered face to lie,
That the winds may sweep my soul
Clear as they have swept the sky.

Great capital at the disposal Of

industrial development, over his fell

equally distrustful of the white man,
and both animals, until their spirits
are quite broken, are in terror of any
human being, through the bitter ex-
perience of breaking which has dem
onstrated that man is a fend incar-
nate and cruel brute where the
handling of their kind is concerned.
In these cases smell has seemed the
only sense involved, since no words
are spoken in handling a Wild horse,
and sight has but little to do with
it, as the effect is the same when
the canvas or leather blind is pull
ed over the eye.
That the horse is as sensitive to
pain as we have been taught from
countless circumstances would seem
unlikely. Even after the most severe
operations he will usually start eating
as if nothing were wrong-at least
at first, however feverishness or sub
sequent pain (as from firing, blister
ing etc. may affect him. The
severest punishment makes no diff
ference in this respect You may
dock him and crupper the mutilated
and severely burned tail with i'm
punity Immediately afterwards, and
he will feed at once as if nothing had
happened. You may perform this
and other terribly severe operations
with nothing more than twitch upon
his nose, and otter without that, yet
if you hamper and confne him he will
generally squeal and cry out at even
the most superficial prick OF the knife
Horrible wounds seem not to incon-
venience him so far as appetite and
composure go, and yet this is not
