A Story Worth Telling.
It has been stated that tho duke of
Bedford was led to gtvo tho statuo of
J ilin Bunyan to tho town from which
ills Graco derives hlsuamo, bceauso tho
niKrlm's Progress" wastlio first book
which ho received as a child from his
mother. This Is, wo believe, truo, ns
far as It goes, but It Is not tho whole
truth. Ono of tho main causes which
rnn'ributcd to tho bestowal of tho gift
hi'H never yet been communicated to
' t publlo ; and tho story Is ono well
a. hi thy of being related. When His
(ir.ico succeeded to tho Dukedom, ho
fmind that ono of tho gifts which Bed
ford looked for athls hands was a year
ly present of a hundred guineas for a
up to be run for at tho local races, and
h felt tho most tnsupcrablo objections
to continuing to mak'o such a present.
II" consulted with ono of tho borough
members (Mr. Whltobrcad) who had
nNo been In tho habit, along with tho
revlous Duke, ,of giving a hundred
guineas for the raco cup, and ho ascer
tained that the honorablo member was
J ardly lees avcrcs than himself to th
jstcm which thus transformed them
r';ito patrons of what they both belbvo
to bo a source of public demoralization.
It was agreed between fliem thit tho
two cups should no longer be given.
Tho locnl sporting fraternity pleaded
very hard against this decision of tho
new head of tho IIouso of Bustcll, but
all In vain. Ono of tho most retiring of
men he Is characterized by great decis
ion an firmness, and whlldhe consented
to glvo tho cub for ono year, ho warn
ed Its recipients that they must not
come again, as his mind was thorough
ly made up on tto subject. Ills Graco,
however, did not wish It to be supposed
that tho step was taken on tho ground
of saving his purse, than whicji noth
ing was really further from his thoughts,
and ho accordingly consulted with somo
of tho leading civic authorities as to
what gift In place of the cup was most
likely to bo generally appreciated by the
public of Bedford. A statuo of Uunyan
was no sooner hinted at than the "l)uko
eagerly seized the Idea: and ho did this
All the more reidfiy as he recollected
how tho "Pilgrim's Progrjss" was a
favorlto with Tils mother, and tho first
book sho had given him when ho was a
child. The statuo has, we believe, cost
Ills Graze about 3,000, a sum equival
ent to at least thirty race cups so that
the disappointed sporting men, whllo
they may no doubt sneer at the piety of
his action, are deprived of thochancoqf
calling him stingy. English papor.
Tho Strength qjFthe Horgg.
We aro so completely In tho habit of
regadlng tho horso as a docile slavo,
expected to minister to our necessities
with uncomplaining complaisance, un
resisting generally under Ill-treatment,
often half-killing hlmsolf by struggling
to drag loads beyoud their powers, that
wo aro apt to forgot the tremendous
strength whlchho can exert It ho pleases
to put It forth.
I saw latoly a small pony rrjnnlng
away with a little carriage, in which
wero two largo strong men; ono sat in
His place dragging at the" reins with all
his might, tho other was on his kuees,
adding his utmost power nearer tho
bead, but In vain. Tbey were just able
to give somo soit of direction, to their
course, so as to avoid the carts and
carriages, which unfortunately wero
not many, and In turning several sharp
corners, but they could not moderate
tho pace in the least, till It pleased thp
pony to stop at his own stable. They
set their strength against bis, and on,
the tenderost point, tho mouth, and tho
pony won.
Tho great dray-horses of a London
brewery aro almost like elophants In
