Such was the capricious tyranny of the
King that Mr. Knighton was hardly sur
prised. "It was probably some execution,"
he whispered to his companio , On they
drove. There were still no sign of any in
habitant so to be seen; the house were eve
rywhere closed; a sort of bre hless terror
seemed to reign in the city. P sently they
came to ,the body of a .lad sit ilarly, man
gled lying by the side of the rod, and they
stopped once more. On the top of an ad
joining house they saw one of the King's
troopers looking intently up,the street.
I " What is the matter?"

With a sober, soldierly air;
And the halt and the maimed are riding here,
And the priest and the poet there.
And now the troop of children comes. .
• In wavy, hesitant files,
All bright with the blush of .the early bloonis,; ; -
All wreatited in roses and mulles.

And a dirge will be softly sung; . • 1
And e parson will give to faith a voice,
An the poet to love a tongue, i
t
Bu you and I, my starry and Bess,
:
Will turn froth these well-meant words i
Apart throngh tho woodlauji silences 1 .
Alone with-the bre'eze s and birds.
Here, at this grave, where the pine boughs grieve,
When the solemn south winds roam, I
Our rosemary and one rue we'll leave,
And carry ottr heartsease home
Did I promise? Well, there is nothing neW,
But the joy and the pain are ono, •
Bit down on the bank here, Bossy, and you
Lie here on the grass, my son.
Fourteen next mouth! Yon were only four
When your father went away;
And you, iittio•queen, were scarcely more
Than a babe that desolate day.
A sudden and terrible call had come
.For au,army of volunteers;
And the tidings brought to our happy home
Hard struggles and boding fears.
That night he sat in a silent, mood, • -
And held yoltboth to his breast;
I saw on his brow the shadows baled
And darken—l knew the rest I
He carried you up to your crib that night, j
And watched with you tin you slept;
Then, praying that God would guide him arlgh l
The strong luau wrestled and wept.
I found him praying, and left him there'
Alone with his Father and you;
Till the Helper lifted his loadfof care,
And lightened his sorrow too,
And then he came forth and told me all.
I couldmeither strive nor cry;
He would follow his suffering country's mil,
Who should dare to forbid? Not I.
Yon know the story—the parting word—
The year that drearily passed,
The droning pain of a hope deferred,
The blinding blow at the last.
But hero is a picture you never aim—
On this side Mother and' Bess,
Hal on the othe4 the little flaw _
Is the din tt a ball, I guess,
He carried it'always here, by ids heart;
And, when they led him away
Faint from the field, where he bore his part
So gallantly on that day— .
When they laid bird down In a sheltered nook
(The chaplain told mejthis,)
Re drew it forth, and, with many a look, -
And many a . ,passionate kiss,
He gazed till he heard the order " Rest I"
And then, when his splrit passed,
It dropped from his hands upon his breast,
And they found it there, at the last.
That is all, my darlings, I have to tell.
Like another diviner Friend,
Having loved his own in the world so well,
He loved them unto the end,
The love that lie left to you and me
Is our fortune and our pride;
The truest, manliest man was he—
And he loved us all till he died
Como hither, Harry! I'll lean on you; •
Ms brow and his mouth are More;
And yours, little Bess, are his eyes of bluoi
And his wealth of golden hair.
So here at his grave, where the pine boughs
When the solemn south winds roam,'
Our rosemary and our ree we'll leave,
And carry our heartsease home.
The Strength of the Horse
HY. THE AUTHOR OF " STONE EDGE
We are so completely in the habit of re
garding.the horse as a docile slave, expect
ed to minister to our necessities with uncom
plaining complaisance; unresisting generally
under ill-treatment, often half-killing: him
self by struggling to draw loads beyond his
powers, that we are apt to forget the tre
mendous strength which he can exert if, he
pleases to put it forth.
I saw lately a small pony running divar
with a little carriage in which were two
large, strong Men; one sat in his place drag
ging at the reins with all his might, the oth
er was on his knees adding hia utmost pow
er nearer the head, but in. vain. They were
just able to give some sort of direction to
their course, so as to avoid the carts and
carriages, which fortunately were not many,
and in turning several sharp corners, but
they could not moderate the pace ithe
least till it' pleased the pony to stop a the
ni
door of his own stable. They set heir
strength against his, and on the tenderest
point, the mouth, and the pony won.
The great dray horses of a I,ondon brew
ery are almost like.elephants ip weight and
power, yet are so good-tempered that they
can be guidedy a child. TIO strength of
the neck, of II e heels, of the 'teeth of such
a beast is fear ul indeed, if they were used
against instead of for the service of man;
and it may help us to treat him with greater
respect to hear how powerful and at times
how savage an animal a horse can be. We
have much to learn in our treatment of him.
'An Arab will make his mare go far iloOger
distances without suffering than we can Our.
horses. In South America the " topping
merchant" of Santiago used always to have
at hand horses which could be ridden to
Valparaiso, sonic ninety odd miles, and
back next day with no food but hay land ti
little chopped straw. The Hanoverian
troopers in the Peninsular war were able to
keep their chargers in good condition, while
those of many of the English cavalry regi
ments were dying by wholesale. The Ger
mans were more kindly anxious for the wel
fare of their rough, ugly beasts than the
English " horse-subduers, ' as they count

The courage which horses will show in a
charge during a battle; the temper, when
in a mob; [the good-natured giants of the
Household Brigade back their horses, so as
to disperse a crowd by mere force of the
terror , of their heels, or the switching of
their tails, without doing any harm to map;
woman, or child] ; the intelligence ' with
which a horse _who is set to move whoki
lines
. of trucks and carriages at a railway
station understands the complicated com
mand§ made to'him by word and sign, all
show powers and qualities of which-at pres
ent we make but very indifferent use.
A curious proof of the strength alp cour
age of the horse is to be found in a book
some twenty years old, by a Mr. Knighton,
an Englishman, who was in the service of
the King of Oude in 1835. k lielells the fol
lowing story of what he himself once wit
nessed at Lucknow.
'The King, whom he, calls "'a sensual,
cruel, savage," kept many wild beasts, which
lie somebimes set to fighting with each other,
as in the Roman games. One day Mr.,
Knighton was driving from the river Goom
tee to one of the palaces in a sort of little'
open gig. As they passed along the streets
therewas not a creature to be seen; if any
one came in sight, he was rushing hurriedly
off. Presently be saw in the middle of the
road a trampled bloody heap. He stopped;
it was the corpse of a woman terribly 'lace
rated and corn, the face crushed by teeth
into a shapeless mass, the long, matted hair
clotted with blood.
" The man-eater is loose, wallah! Look
out, Sahibs, he is quite wild to day."
I had heard (continues Mr. Knighton) of
a savage horse belonging to one of the troop-
ers theft was called Kuuewallah, because he
had destroyed many men.
" Ile is yenning ' he is coming!" shouted
the man'suddenly,from the housetop, "take ,
care, take carer"
' Far down the roa d we could see the wild
brute, a large bay horse, savagely shaking
a child' which he had seized in his jaws, and
he was.evidently coming our way. In an-j

horse tremblealrom heats to foot, as 'if he
was' shivering. with cold; , the man-eater:
glared at us through the bars, walked around
to try andlind ,an opening, but: it was all
hard iron railing. &Wailed that lie was
baffled, he turned areund, rattled' his iron
heels against tlie"bals, .and with heed and
tail erect, and cocked ears, 'galloped oft'
down the road. • Later in the day we heard
that the trooper had contrived to let fall it I
noose over his head, That lie had been upset,
muzzled, 'and taken back tobis stable.
I mentioned what I had Seen to the King
'when I came to hiM shortly after. " lle is

The fang laughed. Then he shall tight
the tiger Burrhea,'! said Ite• ' so called after
the name of a village ; at the foot of the
Ilimalaya, front which the animal had been
brought. r
There was a courtyard lathe palace about
'sixty. yards square, surrounded by thick
bamboo railings on two sides. - On the third
was a gallery in which the -King sat sur
rounded by male and female slaves.ftinning
him with peacock fans: The man-eater was
lured on into the yard iafter.a little mare of
which he was fond, and the tiger; who was
withoUt food or drink, 'was let loose into
the inelosure.
The horse stood in easy attitude, with one
foot advanced; awaiting the attack, moving
as Burrhea moved, with This eyes fixed on
the eyes of his enemy. Suddenly, with. a
light bound, the tiger was upon the mare;
with one blow of his paw he threw her
over, his teeth fastened in her neck, and he
,drank her blood, enjoying his draught, but
with his eyes lixed'meantime all the while
on the . man-eater,.which, with-his neckpro
trudedz cocked ears, glaring eyeballs, and
'twitching tail, watched his enemy intently
in an easy attitude Of attention.
At length the tiger began to move stealth
ilk around the courtyard like a cat, quite
noiselessly, the soft balls of the large paws
put slowly down, the long, lithe back work -1,
ing as he went: In the middle stood the'
horse, slowly turning as the tiger turned,'
the head, cars, and neck bent forward,'
while on stole the tiger: Not a sound was
heard; every one WAS in - mute expectation;,
at last the tiger bounded like lightning, in-'
tending to seize his enemy by the head, but
the l}rse dodged aside a little and received
his antagonist on the haunches; the claws
sank deep into the flesh, while the hind feet
of the tigei made a grasp at the fore legs of
the horse. Suddenly the man-eater -dashed
out with his iron heels, and in a moment
Burrhea was sprakvlidg on his back; be was
up again, however, immediately, and steal
ing around once more, as if nothingwas the
mutter. NoiseleSsly around and around he
went, his broad head always turned to Ills
wary foe, while the horse, though his
haunches were bleeding and lacerated, with
an indignant snort resumed his former posi
tion, his head and neck still lowered and
protruding, one foot still out to admit of
that rapid drive and thrust by which he
turned his enemy'sflank. This monotonous
circling Vent on for eight or ten minutes, or
even more, the man-eater ever facing. bun,
and_snorting angrily from time to time.—
Once the tiger paused by the body of the
dead mare as if to eat it; then suddenly,
withOutlhe smalldat growl 'or preparation,
he sprang again, as if lifted by , galvanism
in the course of this monotonous gyration.
Kunewallah was, however, not taken by
surprise; his head ducked again, and again
he received the tiger on his haunches. We
could see the broad, round head for an in
stant near the tail of the horse, while his
bind claws reached to the bicast; his body
was quivering uneasily, with the belly near
ly on the horse's beck; .it was only, howev
er, for an instant. Again. the ferociorts
beast dashed out with his hind legs, almost
as if he would throw himself on his side,
and his iron heels came against the tiger's
jaws as he fell sprawling on his back. lie
soon arose again, but now only%'to try to es
cape. His jaw was- broken; and with his
tail between his legs, he cried out loudly
with pain, like a> whipped spaniel. - The
man-cater watched him narrowly, thinking
it might be only a ruse.
.Now the King ordered the door of the
cage to be opened, and Burrhea rushed into
its shelter, evidently having bad quite en
ough:
Proudly then the man-eater snorted and
pawed; he scampered up to the mare and
. spurned her with his foot, then,' with his
head aloft and tail arched, he trotted around
trYing
.to get at the attendant servants. Ills
blood was up, and, tiger or man, it was evi
dent that he did not mind any of them.
"Let another tiger be set at him," cried
the King, " I will have my revenge for
Burritea."

The keeper of the tigers was summoned,
and came in salaaming in fear. " May it
please your majesty'S greatness, the tigers
were fed two hours ago."
" And why were they fed two hours ago,
you scoundrel?" shouted the King.
"May it please the royal greatness of
your Majesty, it was the usual time," said
the poor man, sajaaming again, and trem
,bling in every limb.
You shall go to the man-eater yourself,
if the tiger won't attack him," cried the
King furiously.
The court was oppressively bet; the King
sat, fanned by the great peacocks' tails and
surrounded by his female slaves, watching.
The second tiger's cage was brought up; he
came leisurely put, but only when poked by
spears, and then quietly surveyed his antag
onist. , -He was larger than Bttrrhea, but not
so highbred, nor •so beautifully streaked,
neither, se light and graceful in his motions.
He Bcpiatted himself down on the dead
mare, and tore it leisurely in pieces with a
strength of claW and limb and jaw very ult.
pleasant (one would think to watch) for the
man-eater, who remained on the defensive
on the other side of the' ourt..
" RenioVe the carcase, you fools!" shout
ed the King, angry at the delay.
This could only be done by , driving away.
the tiger with red-hot bars. A noose, was
then flung over the dead ware, which was
at length drawn out - The tiger, much an
noyed, stretched himself at•full length and
lay growling in the middle of the court,
wbere, he could not be , reached. At last
they contrived to strike him with a spear of
immense length; he seized it in his mouth,'
ran along-its length, and began to shake the .
bamboo rails, but nothing would induce
him to assail the horse, which went on as]
befote facing the tiger as he turned. He
showed his glitterhig teeth at the then, but
refused. to inovc in the direction of Kuno

We began to feat for the poor keeper of
the wild beasts, b t the King had now for
gotten his threat, 'a d shouted that the =h
eater was a brave fellow, and ho would see
what he could do with three buffaloes.--
There is no animal so fierce as the buffalo
when thoroughly aroused; ,he will put a
good-sized elephant to goring him
terribly with those tremendous weapons; his'
horns. -
When the beasts came in the man-enter
seemed much disconcerted Itit the sight of
the uncouth monsters, and lie retreated,
snorting, almost with _fear but as they re
mained in the corner where they came in,
huddledlogether and never dreaming of au
attack, he took courage, pawed the ground,.
snuffed at them with distended nostrils, and
came slowly nearer and nearer; step by step.
Still they paid no heed - to him, Lut stu
pidly crowded on . each other. At lust the
horse's head altiost touched the side' of, one
of the buffaloes; he sniffed and smelled at
the hide,. and at list seeing that the un

Leon Gambetta.
.'' " Fear is the curse of this country. Fear
is the source from which our tyrants and
traitors have drawn their principal strength!
On fear they founded their, ascendancy, to
bear us down, after twenty years of empire,
to degradation, to mutilation! Front fear
they extracted that fatal plebiscite Which was
to drag us into war!' Of fear was born that
impotent reaction of the
'trading
of February,
18711 By fear , - with fear, trading on fear,
reaction always triumphs over us! Oh, let
us once for all rid ourselves of fear In our
political actions!"
These passionate words are taken from
the speech delivered last September at Gren
oble, in the southeast of France, by M. Le
on Gambetta. They illustrate etlectiVely
-the principal characteristic of the orator
himself, as well as that lamentable national
peculiarity which he has so powerfully and
justly described. "The chronic malady of
France," Gambetta exclaimed, "is politi
cal fear? So brave, -generous, ardent, hero
ic, disinterested as France is on the field of
battle, so is- she timid, hesitating; easily
troubled, deceived, befooled and terrified
in the domain of politics." Nothing can be
more. true than this. The bloody carnival
of the White Terror came front the panic
caused by the red reign of Robespierre.—
Fear bf the Red Republicans made 'France
fling herself into the arms of Napoleon 111.
The plebiscite was carried by playing on the
fears of the bourgeoisie and the peasantry,
and persuading both that a new lease o the
i,
Emperor was the :only possible me ns of
warding off battle and social disorder. The
same influence of fear drove republican
France two years ago to erect a National
Assembly which is a sworn foe to republi
canism. " Let.us have peace;" was the cry
—" peace at any price. If We give too
much poiver to Gambetta and his Republi
cans they will try to carry on the war still.
Better anything than that!"
But Elambetta's complaint against France
illustrates by the law of opposites his per
sonal character. His success-as an orator,
a politician, a ruler•of populations, has been
for the nest part duo to his utter freedom
from anything like fear. Not less than
Danton does he trust to audacity. • Any risk
for any'object appears to be his•principle of
action and of speaking. Stake all yoU have,
Ricca after piece—the luck must turn some
time. Make ' afiy promise to-day; if you
can't keep it, , make anothevpromise twice
as big and hold to-morrow, and increase the
day after; some day or other you may be
able to redeem all. Prophesy with the most
earnest brow and in the most thrilling voice
that the sky is going to fall; if 'thereby your
votaries obey your commands in the morti
ink, who cares though the prediction must
be falsified by the evening? , t
This seems to The to be broadly the prin
ciple of Gambetta's career, and one 'grand
explanation of his personal success.' In
tense belief in himself, complete devotion
to his own hopes, a faith in his cause which
for the moment seems to render failure iin
possible, the temper to say anything and do
anything which the inspiratioin of the "Mo
ment suggests, no matter how it ihay be con
futed by the realities of the next succeeding
moment—these are the elements of , that
strangely audacious character which has al
ready stamped its Timpress so deeply upon
the political life of France.
* x• * * • - *,
The career of M. Gambetta is now in its
fourth act. Many persons believe that the
fifth act will see him President of tbe French 1
Republic. I thiii it would at alt events be
safe to predict that the next great chapter
of his history will show him fin power or in
exile. No middle way, no commonplace
course seems possible for him. I cannot
imagine him "subsiding" like Jules Favre,
or patiently content to wait in the back
ground like Louis Blanc. There is proba
bly no man in Europe whose temperament
and mental constitution make him. More
thoroughly "irrepressible." (4 ambett WS

silica found in the soil are taken up by the

glass, which is spread 'evenly over ' the
straw and leaves-of the growing grain, as a
metallic' Icoat of arms was used m old-times
to cover the body - of aosoldier. , ! . When the
growing straw of wheat is encl sed in a thin
tube of elastic glass, the innumerable spores
which frequently fill the entire atmosphere -
like flakes of snow, and which prOduce rust
do not find a congenial place: or their lodg-
ment and complete development. But when
the plants do not .have access to a generous
supply of silicate and potash the stems are
'so limber that they 'are easily prostrated by
driving storms, so that•thetars pf grain will
be developed only in
,part. When- silica is
available only in small quantities the spores
from which fungi springs adhere' to the
leavesaad stems, where they find a suitable
spot for their development,. and thus ~the
productiveness of the plant is seriously im
paired.. The practical value of silica is far
ther perceived. in the yield of excellent fruit.
If the soil near an apple or a pear tree, that ,
has hitherto borne knotty and rusty fruit,
receive • a liberal., dressing of sand, •which
supplies silica s and of wood-ashes,• which
furnish the potash—the substance required
to make glass—nature will employ those-in
gredients to a great extent, in coVering the
leaves with an elastic glass, and the fruit
with a thick, transparent varnish, produted
from the silica and potash which will pro
tect - the leaves from blight , and the • fruit
from rust, scales and cracks. This fact has
been demonstrated repeatedly in some 'fruit ,
producing localities, where wood' ashes or
coal ashes have been scattered around about
pear trees and apple trees so liberally that
all grass and weeds were destroyed. Flint,
sharp sand, and quartz are composed, for
the most part, of silica. Hence the proprii -
ety of mingling scouring-sand with the Soil
in which flowers are cultivated. Divest the
soil g all silica and alkali where useful
plantsend beautiful flowers are to be grown;
and not one would attain to perfect devel
opinent, simply because silica and potash
..
are eminently essential to impart stiffness to .
the 'stems and elasticity and tenacity to the
leaies. When grape vines for example,
which are growing in a.sandy soil, have ac
cess to potash in abundance, the- leaves will
appear as tough as leather, an& no milaw ,

Nearly all sick horses and cows are made
so - in the,first place by eating improper food,
or too Much of it. As soon as the owner
finds reel yof his animals sick, it is , he coin-
mon custom to begin dosing mediclne.--
"We mum% leave the animal o die, we
must do something !" and so all manner of
hurtful drugs and poisons are thrust down •
the throat—saltpetre, copperas, turpentine,
I
etc., quite sufficient to make any well ani ;
mat sick, or kill a sick one. "You didn't '
give that poor thing enough—you should
have given it oftener—you can't expect your '
beast to get well if you don't do more for
its" Our rule has always been to give noth
, ins unless we know exactlywhat tOti; and
in the meantime attend to every, .exterior
I comfort practicable: If the weather is cold, '
place it in warniquarters", avoid all exposurq,
and attend to pure air and strict cleanliness.
But there is one medicine thacan-never db
harm, and is Commonly be eficial. This
is pulverized charcoal:As w have just re
marked, nearly all Sick anim s become So
by improper eating, in the first place. Nine
cases out of ten Aie digestion -is wrong.
Charcoal is the mt efficient and rapid cor
rective. It will cure in a majority of -cases,
if ,properly allininistered. An example I pf
its! use; The'llireil man came -in with iltlie
intelligence that one of the finest cows Was
very sick, and a kind neighbor proposed the
usual drugs and poisons. - The owner being
ill, and unable to examine the cow, coat
ded that the trouble came from over;eati gt -
and ordered a teacupful of pulverized char- '
coal given in water. It was mixed, placed
in a junk bottle ; the head held upwards, and
the water with the charcoal poured down
wards. In five minutes improvement was
visible, and in a few hours the animal was
in the pasture quietly eating grass.
• Another instance of equal success oc
curred with a young heifer which becOme
badly bloated by-eating green, apples after a
hard wind.- The bloat was so severe that
her sides were almost as hard as, a barrel.
The old remedy, saleratus, was tried for the
purpose of correcting the acidity. Butithe
attempt to put it down always caused cough
ing,'s.nd it did little good. Half a teacup
ful of fresh powdered. charcoal was next
given. In six Hours all appearance of bloat
hadhad gone and the heifer was well. I .
We disaipprove of quackery, where, with
out a precise knowledge of the disease, pow
erful remedies are given at random, indis
criminately. The objection of'quackery
cannot extend to the tise.of charcoal, .!or it
can do no harm, and goes directly •tq the
