to the place where they were kept the pre¬ 
ceding Winter, of their own accord, as or¬ 
derly and properly as a person of high degree. 
The conclusion to be drawn from the facts 
I have given is, that it is incumbent upon the 
human race to exercise almost as much kind¬ 
ness, care and caution in the management of 
the brute as in the rearing of a baby.

in winter, with due caution, us to the length 
of the lialter, I led him out of the stable to 
water. He proceeded kindly, and while ho 
was drinking, I congratulated myself on the. 
triumph I had achieved, when in a Hash, I 
found myself sailing in the air up stream, and

bridle. 
The more I used that horse the more l liked 
him, for Ids exceeding beauty, kindness, floet-

faithfully followed the injunctions of the 
seller, and put a bridle on his head, before
