All honor to the memory of Professor Hjrgli,
the. chief apostle for the brute creation, for
Ido uterey li' demanded an la iiievc.l for this
king of beast's. A man who owned 400J
horses, aud sumo say 40,01)0, wrote In the
lllble, "A righteous man regardeth tho life
of his henst.'1 Sir Henry I.nwrenee's care of
tiie horso was beautifully Christina. "Ho
says: "I expect we shall lose Conrad, though
1 have taken ho much care of him that he
maycouie in cool. 1 always walk him the
last four or live miles, and us I walk myself
tho first hour, it is only iu the middle of the
journey we get over the ground." The Ett
rlck Hheplmrd iu his mutehloas "Ambrosial
Nights' speaks of tho maltreat meat of the
horse as a practical blasphemy. I do not
believe in the transmigration of souls, but I
cuunot very severely denounce the idea, for
when I co men who out nud bruise and
whack and welt and strike nud maul nnd out
rage und insult the horse, that beautiful
servant of the human race, who carrion our
burdens nnd pulls our plows aud turas our
thrashers and our mills and runs for our
doctors when I see men thus beating nnd
ubusiug ai.d outraging that creature, itseoms
to mo that It would bo only fair Unit the
doctriue of transmigration of souls should
prove true, and that for their punishment
they should pass over into some poon miser

cruelly treated nud fror.a au I heated nud

There is a delusion abroad in tho world
that u thing must be necessarily Kiodaad
Christian it it is slow aud dull mid plodding.
Thereare very few good people who sown to
imagine it is humbly pious to drive a

cavalry service doe; the most execution, aud
us tiie battles of the world are probably not
nil past, our t'hristiau patrioiisia demands
that we be iu!crc.so.l in equinal velocity.
We might as well have poorer gnus in our
arsenals and clumsier ships in our navy

back the Arab Invasion. The Carthaginian
envalry. with the los of only 700 men, over
threw the Romnn army with the loss of 70,

drove back the Moorish horde. The best

Hut what shall I say of the effort beinu

evil? I mnk no indiscriminate assault
against the turf. 1 believe In the turf if it
can be conducted on right principles and
wl'h no betting. There is no more harm in
offering prize for the swiftest racer than
there is hnrm at an ngrlculturnl (air in offer

That is the way God develops the race. lie.

Itself is called a prize, "the priz" of
the hlch calling id God in Christ .le
ans." no what Is right iu one direction Is
right In another direction. And without th

strength will never be fnllv developed." If It

that, go down to tho river and pitch It olT

by "Preach mutusls." by what Is callel
"liookmaking" - all gambling, all bad. all

that needs to lie written on the brnv of every

a word to be written also a the brow
of every bookkeeper who at extra in

nnd on the brow it every jockey who slack
