AS good. She used often to envy me,
and say it was all the fault of. breaking
• in, and the gag bit in London, that her
mouth, was net so perfect as mine; and
then .old Sir Oliver would say, "There
therei`don't vex yourself,• you have the
greatest'honor; a mare that. can carry
a tall 'ma- i of our master's weight, with
all your spring and sprightly action,
does not need to hold her head down
because she does not carry the lady;
we horses must take things as they
comq,,and. always be contented and
willing so long as "e, are kindly used."
I had, often wondered how lit was
that Sir Oliver had such a very short
tail; it was only six or seven inches
long, with a tassel of hair hanging
fromit; ail on one of our holidays in
the orchard 1 ventured to ask him by
what accident it was that he had lost
his tail. "Accident!" he snorted with
a fierce look, "it was no accident! it
was a cruel, shameful, cold-blooded
act! When I was young I.was taken
to a place where these gruel things
were done; • 1 was tied up, and made
fast so that I. could not stir, and then
ti they came and cut off. my long and
beautiful tail, through the flesh and
through the bone, and took it away."
"How dreadful 1" I exclaimed.
"Dreadful, ahl it was dreadful; but
it was not only. the pain, though that
was terrible and lasted a long time; it
,was not only' the indignity of having
MY best ornament taken from me,
though that was bad; but it was this,
hdw could 1 ever brush the flies off my
sides and. my . hind legs any more?
"gots who have tails just whisk the
flies iofl* without thinking - about it;
and.you can't tell what a torment it is •
to have"them settle upon you and sting
and sting,. and have nothing in the
world to rash ,.them off with. I tell
you it is a lifelong wrong, and a life-
long lost; but tilaak Heaven, they do'
not do it now."
"What did they do it for then?" said
Ginger.
"For fashion!" said the other horse
with a stamp of his foot; "for fashion!

'tutting off their tails to Blake thein

When our master's carriage was over-
turned, before you came here, it was
said, that if the lamp on the left side
had not gone out, . John would have
seen the great hole that the road mak-
ers had left; and so he might, but if
old Colin had not had blinkers on, he
would have seen it, lamp or no lamp,
for he was far too knowing an old
horse to run into danger. As it was,
he was very much hurt, the carriage
was broken, and how Jon escaped no-
body knew."
"I should say," said Ginger, curling
her nostrils, "that these men, who are
so wise, had better give orders that in
future all foals should be born with
their eyes set just in the middle of their
foreheads, jinstead of on the • side; they
always think they can improve upon
nature and mend what God has made."
Things were• getting rather sore
again' when Merrylegs held up his
knowing little face and said, "I'11 tell
you a secret; I believe; John does not
approve of blinkers; I heard him talk-
ing with master about it one day. He
said, that 'if horses had been used to
them, it might be dangerous in some
cases to leave them off; and John said
he thought it would be a good thing if
all colts were broken in without blink-
ers, as was the case hisome foreign
countries. So let us cheer up, and
have a run to the . other end of the or-
chard; I believe the ,wind has blown
down some apples, and we might just
as well eat them as the slugs,"
' Merrylegs could not be resisted, so
we broke off otir long conversation,
and got up our spirits by munching
some very sweet apples which lay scat-
tered on the grass. •

been no smell of carrion from this carcase ;
but it might easily have been within sight
of a bird soaring at an elevation which
would have rendered it invisible, to a
traveller ; at the same time, an animal of
the size of a en,nlel lying motionless on the
grennd would have been easily visible to a
vulture while out of sight. ,
In order to account for the assembling ,of
a group of vultures in so short a time as is
here indicated, • while none of these birds
' were apparently within sight, we may sup-
pose that tale birds, spread themselves at
wide intervals throughgnt .an extensive dis-
triol and at a high altitude ; each bird
soars about, keeping a steady gaze en the
ground' for the carcase of some animal, at
the same time being within sight of his
fellowla. As soon as prey iii sighted by
one ofthe group he swoops down toward
it, and this action it a signal to the other•
birds that a meal is to be had where the
bird descended, and they all flock down Se-
dordinglyy. "Wheresoever the carcase is
there will the eagles (vultures) be gathered
together." -The Spectator. ., -
