" We pulled-upp in the rank at the back Of the,lest cab. Two or tree men cantle round and began to loo � at Me and pass their remarks. "Very good for a funeral," said one. "Too smart -looking," said another, shaking his head in- a very wise way; ',you'll find out. something wrong one of y these - Snit mornings, or my name is not Jones." • "Well." said Jerry pleasantly, "I suppose I nee. not find out Wigfinds me out, eh? And if so, I'1Lkeek my spirits a little longer." It i- Then there came up a broad*' aced man, dressed in a great, gray coat with great gray caps and .great white but- tons, agray hat, and a blue comforter loosely ied round his neck; his hair was gray, too; but he was a jolly -look- ing fellow, and the other men made way for him. He looked me all over, as if he had been going to buy me; and then straighteninghimself up with a grunt, he said, ` e's the right sort for you, Jerry;• I•d'o care what you gave for him, he'll be , orth it," Thus my character was established on the stand. This man's name was Grant, but he was Called "Gray Grant," or "Gover- nor Grant." He had been the longest ' on that stand of any of the men, and he took it upon himself to settle mat- ters and stop disputes. He was gen- erally a good-humored, sensible man, but if histemper was a•little out, as it 'wa& sometimes when he had drunk too much, nobody liked to come too near his fist, for he could deal a very heavy blow. The first week' of my life as a cab horse was very trying. I had :never been used to London, and the noise, the hurry, the crowds• of horses, carts, and carriages, that I had to make my way through, made vie feel anxious and harassed; but 1 soon found that I could perfectly trust my driver, and then I made myself easy, and got used • Ti) BE CONTINUED. with illy noble muster, event into • many aretioiia together without a •wound; sand though I so w horses shot down .wit}* ,bullets, pierced through with lances, and gashed Orth fearful sabre outs; tbquggh we left them dead on the field, .or clyimg. in the agony of • their wounds, • I don't think L feared for myself. My master's cheery voice, as he encouraged -his men, made me feel as if he and I could not be killed. I had such perfect trust in him, that whilst he was guiding me, I was ready to charge up to the very 'Cannon's month. I saw many brave men cut down, many fall mortally wounded from their saddles. I had heard the cries and groans of the dying, I bad cantered over ground slippery with blood, and frequently had to turn aside to avoid trampling on wounded roan or horse, but, until one dreadful day, I had never felt terror; that day I shall never forget." Here old Captain paused for a while and drew a long breath; I waited, and he went on. "It was one autumn morning, and as usual, an hour before daybreak our cavalry had turned out, ready capar- isoned for the day's work, whether it might be fighting or waiting. The hien stood by their horses waiting, ready for orders. As the light increas- ed, there seemed to be some excite- ment among the officers; and before the day was well begun, we heard the firing:of the enemy's guns. "Then one of the officers rode up and gave the word for the men to mount, and in a second, every man was inhis saddle,and every horse -stood expecting the touch of the rein, or the pressure of his rider's heels, all animated, all eager; but still we had been trained so well, that, except by the champing of our bits, and the res- tive tossing of our heads from time to to it. : time, it could not be said that we stir - Jerry was.ae g, ood a driver as I had ° red. ever known; and whatwas . tietter, hal ' "M?L dear master and I.were • at the took as much. though for his ,horses as ! headof the line, antl'a-s all sat motion - he *lid for himself.

He stroked my neck that morning more, I think, than he had ever done before; quietly on and on, as if he were thinking of something eine. I loved to feel -his hand on my neck, andyarched my crest tilll,l for 1 kneand w but I his moods and when he liked me to be quiet and when the reins; and I believe his whip was more frequently stuck up by his side than in his hand. In a short time I and my master ► understood each other, as w 11 as horse able, too, or our com- old-fashion- he slope; but s . fixed across the back of our. Stalls, ,fo that at night, when we were teethe , he just took off our halters and put/ up the bars, and thus _we could try about and stand whichever way w'/pleased, which isa great comfort. / Jerry kept us/very clean, and gave m us as'uch•chf,ge of food as he could, and always e.enty of it; and not only that, but hdialways gave us plenty of clean fresh water, which he allowed to stand by us both day and night, ex- cept of course when we came in warm. Some people say that a horse ought not to drink all he likes but I know if we are allowed to drink when we want it we drink only a little at a time, and. it doeb;'ut a great deal more good than swalloVVi'ng down half a bucket full at a time, because we have been left with-• out till we are thirsty and miserable. Some grooms will go home to their beer and Leave us for hours with our dry hay and oats and nothing to mois- ten them; then f course we gulp down too much at once, which helps to spoil our breathin and sometimes chills our and man can do. In the he did all that he could fort. I he.stalls were tb ed style, two much on he had.too movable b• ge,y. cannot tell all that happened on that day, but I will tell of the last charge that we made together; it was across a valley right in front of the enemy's cannon. By this time we were well used to the roar of heiifiry guns, the rattle of musket fire, and the flying of shot near us; but never had I been under such a fire as we rode through on that day. From the right, from the . left, and from the front, shot and shell poured in upon us. Many a brave man went down, many a horse fell, flinging his rider to the earth; many a horse without a rider ran wildly out of the ranks; then, terrified at being alone, with no hand to guide him, came pressing in amongst his old companions, to gallop with them to the charge. "Fearful as it was, no one stopped, no one turned back. Every moment the ranks were thinned, but as our comrades fell, we closed in to keep them together; and instead of being shaken or staggered in our pace, our gg gallop became faster and faster as we stomachs.

The button of bone was removed from the brain, and after removing the splinter, was replaced in its proper position.
