A PERILGEIS
The noble beaSt which forms the sub
ject of my story„ had been a bay of the
oriehe.st and most glossy color, with a lode
spot of white hair on the forehead. His
tail bad been allo'wed to flow, uncurtailed
by . the mutilating knife, oaturally and
gracefully as, dick: of the wild Mustangs
of the prairie. file ample clMst,.
ankle , and proud neck and the wide-apart
prominentnent eyes, and open coStrils denoted
gene° blood, but, at the time I a'a*
old age had whit!eoed, bid beautiful bay
coat, long tufts of hair were grotving he
hind each foot,.his eyes were rheumy,
andl t he few loug-teeth he possessed were
loose. I had noticed the care add atten
,tioM bestowed on blui by every!tueinber
of that family. 'INCIt a day passed that
his neck and face were not caressed by
soft feminine hands, and if I had been
surprised at that, how much more so was
I when Mrs. Morrison, wl.o like turself,
was staying 'there through the' 'summer,
would frequently throw both arms :around
his deck, and while his soft nee rested
against her shoulder, would call!him pet
names, and not unfrequcutly her beau-.
tiful eyes %rola.' Alf with tears While thus .
employed. "Dun John" received all these
caresses as if he had been accustomed to
them, frequently ' following One and
another of the ' , inmates like . !a huge
house-dog. I '
My curiosity El length became so great
that I resolvotilto become acquainted
with the reason Why I.e was thukhonored.
with the resncet land. attachment Of the'
household. , 'Not many days elari4d before,
I became acqUainted with thel.reasons,

of affection which, it might please. the
superior, brute to hestOW on llis fellow,
the durnb one. He had belonged to Dr.
Mosely,lof Whitesborr, for many years a
practicing physiianin that place.
I The Doctor had been ealled.te Utica,
on - besiness connected with his profession,
andlba:d been abSent:tbreedays.:j During
tbat time one or those drenching. wine,
breaking up rains had set in.
~Mountains
of ice were rushing dowa the [Mohawk,
sweeping.everything before them, over
flowing the banks; carrying. away bridges
.and dwellings, and alarming triany,of the
inhabitants, :as••well it 'might-for one
lutist see a freihet• to undersized its ter-
rible importance. One must, liear 'the
crash and roar, behold,;tho mad waters
rushing headlong and Wild, eager for
destruction ; behold• the floating wrecks
.of many a dwelling,' often bearing a "thing
of life," and sometinies a human life, as
was witnetsed not long since . .om the Le
high and the Schuylkill.
The night was inky black, :and Don
John picked out the way faithfully and
steadily, nevee but' with the
bridle hanging , slack across hist neck, and
his nose close ; to the earth, his. toaster ,
had little fear for the consequences: They
were, approaching the. Oriskany, Where al
bridge spdtitied the Mohawk, and DOil
John whined 'pitifully once or twice, till
a sharp word from his master ws:roed him
not to show the white ferther.. On the
other side he could just distinguish ; thro'
the. dense darkness, a moving and-. glim
mering light, and once he fancied he
hearil a shout ; but he little heeded, aught
save getting housed ,as - soon as possible,
and sleeping off. the fatigues ,consequent
to his profession.
' "New step, Don; step Sure; lold Oris
kany bridge to my owu band 'and your
knowledge, has _lost many a plank," said
the Doctor, patting his beast's neck, and

eminence loading to the- entra.nie,,when
the horse stopped. "GO on sir !" Said
the %dor, "you are nearly borne !" Still
no attempt at going on, - andbeneath•them
the angry waters roared and bellowed like
maddened' devils, baulked of their pray.,
"Do you hear me, sir ?" with a smart -buf
fet on: the neck, and a gathering up of
the . looSined bridle into the - firca'deter-
Mined hand, and the
. animal started—
slowly,. steadily, surely, firmly—though
the broad. back slightly shivei:eci froth
time to - Aline, and the gait was so meas
ured and 'methodical, that, at any other
time he' viould have observed it. ' As it
was he only let him have his ',own 'way,
'though - be enght have smoothed his neck,
for he ',had a kindly 'heart, and his poor
beast_ had labored hard through dreadful'
weather, and was sadly in need of food
and shelter., • •• -
Towards the end of the bridge the stepi
became slower, and once stumbled in the
hind foot. A quick grasp at the bridle,
and a cheery "Easy, John—easy, sir 1"
and
.again the cautious hoofs resounded
on the hard road. They Inere across, for
the animal neighed, and tossed his head
till the Doctor shook in his saddle. "One
more mile to go, poor fellow, but first I
and you want some refreslinients. So
r;ding up to the small tavern door where
a genial light Was shining from the win
dows, lie called loudly for the landlord.
A dozen or more .of the inmates came
rushing to the door with lanterns Which
they corned aloft and a "Good Gon, Doc
tor, where did you come from ?" broke
from their lips simultaneously.
"Come from ? Why, from over the's
Mohawk ! What is the Matter ?
.llas
the freshet carried away any of your
senses 7 Here boy," as dismounting, he
threw the rein to a gaping - fellow, "give
John Something nice, and dry him off;
Keep him well wrapped up while he eats,.
and, landlord I want a tuwbler of red hot
Jamaica, quick !"
"Doctor," said the group, "have you
crossed the Mohawk, to-night? and if so,
how . •
"Why, -on t'ne bridge ; are you all
drunk !" said the' exasperated physician.
"Doctor," said the cld gray-headed
landlord, "that bridge went down the
Mohawk this afternoon I Come with me
and I will show you ! If you crossed,
God only knows how youdid it."
• A shiver Went to :be Doctor's beart--
lantern-in band, he followedthe foot-steps
•of the men to the margin of the swollen
aMI turbid river. • Where was the bridge ?
'"Almighty God !" said the horror
• struck Doctor; "where is, my gratitude ?
1)1y noble beast came over here this night,
Ibacked by we, on this solitary string
-1 pieee ; and I, with this right baud gave
him a blow when
.he faltered," and the
Doctor sank upon his knees in the soft,
wet snow, and wept like a child—the
1 men moved from his presence
.respeet,
fully, and left him to himself. • .
When, after some little time, lie made !
his appearance, his eyes were greeted by 1
I the sight of his horse, surrounded by the
etitirki house-hold, each contributing to
render him some assistance. A quart oil
warm ale %vita given by one, another rub-,1
bed his neck and chest with spirits, a'
third dried his' glossy bide with warm
flannel, 'and (Abets patted his neck or
caressed his nose and face. The Doctor
came and took the head of his beast
against his breast, and great warm tears
rushed up from his heart, as the 'long,
graceful tongue lapped his master's face.
"0 John,.iny•boy,aud I gave you a blow!"
and the words ended in a low, wailing
groan. INien uncovered their heads and
turned their faces from him, and at length
led" him inside, where he spent'the night.
The morning revealed unto him the dread
ful danger he had escaped, Irons the
sagacity of his beast, and again did he
grieve for the blow he had dealt hini,when,
so tiObly, he was putting forth more than
hurnati power. -
Don John never did a day's wark after
that. Sometimes his master rode him
forth .on a pleasure tour, or demo him,
before a light vehicle, a few miles, with .
some member of his family, but his pro
fessional labors were over. Nothing could
exceed the care and attention that were
°Ver given him afterward. lie fed from
a manger made of mahogony; his room
was were like a parlor than a stable; and
company to the Doctor's always paid a
visit to Don John before they left.
Thus they lived many years, the Doc
tor and his horse growing old together.
Don John survived his master Some
years; and when the good man's will was:
opened.there was found a clausiappended,
which related to Don John, to this effect:
that he should be given to his youngest
daughter,' Mrs. Morrison, to be cared fur
as he had always done; and that he should,
at his death, be buried with his shoes on,
wrapped in his own rich blanket and in
closed in a. befitting box, in the corner of
his own burying 'ground. His wishes
were religiously respected, and two years
after I learned his history, Don John's
bones were buried in a corner ; of the old ,
burying ground of Whitcebore. -

A 54011. T. CLERGYMAN:.--A few miles
below, Poughkeepsie, N. B. there lives,
and has lived for years' past, a worthy
clergyman, a j man,i however,, very short
'in stature. upon acertain Sunday about
eight yeti's ago, thia clergyman; was in
vited by.2thel pastor of a-church in the
village.to fill big pulpit for, the day. The
invitation was accepted; and Sunday
morning:oW the pulpit. Now
it happened' that the pulpit was a very
high one; and accordingly bid the poor
little clergyman nearly Worn view. How
'ever, the Congregation, lout of respect,
managed to beep their countenances, and
with over pious faCes, seemed religiously,
anxious
_for the .text. They were not
obliged to wait long, fora nose and two
eyes suddenly appeared over the- top of
the pulpit, and al squeaking, tremulous
voice proclaimed in nasal tones the tekt - :,
"Be of good cheer .; ibis I, be not afraid."
A general roar of latighter followed
the announcement—the clergyman be
came confused and - turned all sorts of
colors. the general uproar left ,
the church; and it was a long time befOre
the minister was able, to proceed with his,'
sermon, So abruptly broken off.
Afternoon came, ,and;' man,!the little an,l
standing , on a foctstool,- had a fair view
of the audience. The test was announced
in due form , •
"A 410 while ;'ye shall see me, and a
little while yle shall not see me." , •
In the course of his sermon he repeated
his text with great :earnestness, mid,
'stepping balk, loSt his 'footing, and dis
appeared ,froin hearers. The effect
may be morti readily - imagined than de
scribed. • • •

TUE MISSION :Pr WOMAN.--It is a
striking fact that both the visions of an
gels, both .the first annunciations of the
resurrection, aud both the first appear
inees of Christ, were Made to women.
Why Was this? It seems strange that
the first, tidings of the resurrection from
; human lips :should have been, not from
Ithe lips 'of apostles, who were to be the
authorized heralds of thiS fact, but from
the wouten.who were to be forbidden to
;speak in. the church. It , seems at first
I sight, a'sing E nlsr exception to the divinely
I ordained plan of preaching the glad tid
( logs of
fi nibhed 'redemption. Yet a little,
!reflection will show that 'it is not-exccp
tional, butte very or&rof arrangement
that is rlepeated in every generation of
the world. IThe fact is the same that ex- ;
