nd ease of motion, in both theswan and horse, by the use of the overdraw check-rein, thenwe shall change the accompanying cut No. 1 to that of No. 2.Can any of my readers see any great improvement in this? Ifnot, then why torture the poor things i THERE BE THOSE. There be those who sow besideThe waters that in silence glide,Trusting no echo will declareWhose footsteps ever wandered there. The noiseless footsteps pass away,The stream flows on as yesterday;Nor can it for a time be seenA benefactor there had been. Yet think not that the seed is deadWhich in the lonely place is spread ;It lives, it lives—the Spring is nigh.And soon its life shall testify. That silent stream, that desert ground,No more unlovely shall be found ;But scattered flowers of simplest graceShall spread their beauty round the place. And soon or late a time will comeWhen witnessess, that now are dumb.With grateful eloquence shall tellFrom whom the seed, there scattered, fell.Bekkard Barton. 336 VETERINARY SCIENCE,
