FOUR-FOOTED 1IYI()( MITES AX J) (111 IMIXA LS.

There wa* a pony on the farm, 11 at hai a e.nrious artful trick of Kliaiuminjr lamenena \vli«*n ln» was driven in a diri'ction which he happened, from some caurfc or other, not to like. JIo was a good tempered little animal very pn-tty, and would have been a favorite, only lor this perverse habit. His pretended lameness appeared so real, and wai so distressing to witness, that every one frit ashamed of driving him, lest by any chance it was no longer make believe, but a nail that pricked him, or else that he had sprained himself. Yet no sooner was lie put in the field than he was all right again, anil would oven frisk about as if delighted with tha success of his artifice. There were two roads that he never liked, one to a mill and the other to villago in the opposite direction to Downham. Hut as there was another pony besides himself, he was generally excused from these two objectionable roads. If however, after an interval of six or eight months, or even more, he happened to be driven toward either ofthem, he again pretended lameness, dropped into a walk, and feigned so completely a state of sull'ering, there was nothing for it but to excuse him and turn back. He had been beaten, poor fellow, for his falsehood, but it made no difference, anil it was thought probably that ho had oil MOine former occasion, before he came to the farm, been illused either at the mill or in the village, and never been able to forge' it, hail hit upon this device to save himself from ever going there again. He might, it is true, have been taught this trick by a former master or groom for both dogs and horses are capable of being made the accom'plieps, and were active coopcrators in crime, as several instances 011 record prove.

It Is stated by Mr. Harrison Weir tli.it between 17~U and 17(il) a Scottish lawyer made a journey to London. At that period such journeys were usually performed with horses, when the traveler iiii^ht either travel part, nr if desirous ol studying economy, buy a horse and s( ll him at the end of his journey. Tiii! lawyer in question had chosen the latter mode, and accordingly sold the horse on which lie had ridden to London as soon as he reached that place. When the time for his return arrived, he went to Smithticld, then a horse market, to purchase a hackney for his journey. Not. finding one at lirst to his mind, iie wailed till toward dusk, when a handsome animal was offered, but at sojow price, considering his appearance. thai he immediately suspected w4K some secret blemish or defect that would not bearthodaylight. Howevr, alter much xaminalion, none s.urh being found, and being himself a iiood judge of a horse, I10 consented to become its purchaser.

The next morningstill better pleased with the appearance of his bargain, he again commenced his journey. 1 he horse hail excellent paces, and the lawyer riding the lirst few miles on a welli'reiiuented road, and observing that his horse was admired by nearly all lie met, did not fail to congratulate himself on his good luck in having obtained so admirable asteedat so low a price. Uv tills 1 inie he had reached Kinchley Common—then noted resort of high waymen—and coming to one spot in a hollow which lay between two slight ascents, he met* a clerical-looking gentleman driving to town in a one horse chaise. The road was solitary not a creature was in sight, when the horse astonished his rider by makingasudden manouvre, by which he brought his hind quarters close to the chaise, and so stopped it, proving at once what the prol'essioii of his former master had been, as Well as his own complicity in the high wayman's art.

The clergyman believing to a certainty that 1 high wayman as well as the horse was at hind and unfortunately, not having a pistol to defend himself, or rat her as appeared, being of a peaceful turn, produced his purse at once, asuring the astonished lawyer that it was quite uunetvssary to use violence, as lie was not about to'olVer resistance. The lawyer spurred up his horse, and witli inanv apologies to the terrified clergyman, resumed his journey. In a while, however, they met a stage coach on another solitary part of the road, and again the horse prepared, by the same extraordinary manouvre, to bring it to a sudden stand. Hut here a different reeention met him a blunderbuss was leveled from the coach window, with denunciations of death and destruction against the luckless rider, who was now in his turn more terrified than the unresisting clergyman hud been.

So it went through the day. W herever an opportunity of robbing occurred the horse ort'ercd it to his master, and did the best in his power to aid him. In fact, after his life had Iwn repeatedly endamrered bv the suspicions which the conduct of his steed naturally gave rise to, and his liberty threatened by the peac officers, who were alxnit to take him up as a notorious high wayman to whom, of a truth, the horse had lormerlv lelonged. the lawyer was obliood to part with him for a trifle, ana to purchase one in his stead, which, though far less beautiful, had not been trained to those criminal habits in Inch the other had beooino a perfect swept.-— »(W.

PHOTOGRAPHY WITHOUT J.IUHT.

A new process, called

011

with a roller, is used: and

the sheet is printed in an ordinary printing-press, and with a remarkable preservation of the lights and half-tones Oil-paintings, engravings, chalk-draw-ings, and anything, living or dead that can le photographed, may, by this process, be reproduced and multiplied in a permanent form and when a sufficient number olT impressions has been taken, the sheet of gelatine can be lifted from the plate, and laid aside for future use. This is obviously a vt ry important addition to the resources of art from 300 to 400 impressions can be taken in a day, quite indejiendently ot weather: and, if required, the picture can be printed along with type in the pages of a book. •Specimens were exhibited at the conversazione given by the President of the Royal Society at Burlington House, including chalk-drawings by the old Italian masters, landscapes, buildings, engravings, sea-pieces, maps, and number of shattered and wounded bones from the recent battle-fields in 'France, intended to illustrate a work on surgery. All these speeimons were reproduced with such skill that in many eases, it would have been difficult to distinguish them from the originals.—

AH the Year Round.

HA mix ESS IX THE FAMILY CIRCLE.

If a man is so situated that he cannot bo happy in his family relations, he will not enjoy happiness at all. Man must cultivate, therefore, and look for this great end of his labors at home, in the lx)som of his wife and in the affection of his children. Around his own hearth, in the presence of a loving family, the husband and father, himself the affectionate head of the household, cannot be otherwise than happy. He has no competition in business there, 110 opposing candidates for honors, 110 grasping and unscrupulous enemy,who may seek to take advantage of evenweak point to injure him and tear from him his earnings and possessions but every one near him gives him preference* is awake to his interest in everything they emulate each other in doing him heart-felt honor, and without dissimulation or affectation, sympathize with him in all his sorrows, hopes, joys and triumphs. His loving intercourse at homo is followed by no remorse, is .attended by no disquieting reflections or regrets, lie is there perfectly at ease, may be himself without reserve, and to bo sure that 110 unpleasant occurrence or consequence can rosult therefrom. It is his kingdom, and he is beloved by every subject. His wife is the honored queen of home none dispute her benign sway she rules by smiles, and the whole family lives in'lier love, and can be happy only where they possess it.
