for instance when under the saddle, and has plenty of room, it will, if al- ! lowed to gel off at a distance and do so. turn round and look at the object. This action indicates that if it could he 1 brought up to the object and shown tiiat it was harmless, all would be right, and that is true. Perhaps no better direction can be given for remedying this fault than to leatl or drive the horse up to the object when it is practical. Judgment must always he used. Sometimes it is advisable to whip the animal up to the object; but the way nine-tenths of drivers do, is to whip the horse after he has passed the object, a most reprehensible thing to do. If the horse is frightened, the fright can not be whipped out of him, and the whipping is rather associated in his mind with the danger he thinks he has incurred, ami not being able to separate the two, he becomes confirmed in the belief that he was right in suspecting that he would be harmed. If the horse is permitted to pass the object without being driven up to it, that : should be the end of it. No amount of whipping or swearing, or jerking the

mouth will do any good.

The driver of such a horse needs to keep himself well in hand, and if onehalf the drivers would devote two minutes of attention to themselves and one to their horses, there would not be so many horses addicted to tricks ami faults. A young horse like the one we are noticing is often driven by a man who becomes nervous when the imimal becomes frightened and begins to shy,

I say, let them be as comfortable as possible consistent with healthful attitudeof body. They have a right to a frequent change. Did you ever try to lie Niobe or Cleopatra in a tableau, or sit for your picture? If so, vou have learned to dread tho former and to bless the instantaneous process of the latter; and don’t make classic tableaux of your scholars and think you are keepino' splendid order. I tell you it is splendid torture. They have a right to be treated as ladies and gentlemen, to just the same courtesy and politeness you would exact from them or expect from your equals in society. They have a right to their own self-respect, ami to a treatment from us which will not take this away or detract from the respect of their mates In years and in knowledge they are our inferiors, hut this gives us no right to insult them, tyrannize over them or neglect them. In innocence, in earnestness, in native ability, iu promise of usefulness, they may lie for oar superiors, anti by and by some of them may soar far above us in the wheel. In case of accusation they have a right to a fair and impartial hearing. 1 do not suppose we can all, for lack of time and pernaps other reasons, always resort to Bronson Alcott's trial by a jury of the peers of the accused, but he has an undeniable right to be heard in his defense, and to offer any proper testimony in his case. O, well do I remember these words of doom: “ I don’t want to hear one word —I know you are guilty,” and then the rattan. How liable we all are to allow our feelings ak the moment to carry us away, to think under the irritation caused by the present offense. •• Why, I am constantly annoyed by this fellow; he must be made an example of." Last April I heard the venerable ami respected Francis Coggswell, Superintendent of the Cambridge, Mass., schools, tell this He was in the habit of of keeping a “ black book,” in which he recorded the offense of each pupil, giving a pa^e to each. At the commencem* *it of a term a boy had offended. Irritated and in a morbid state he said, “ This boy is an old offender; he must be punished.” He told the lad to remain after school, intending fully to inflict a whipping. But, as was his usual custom, he first referred to his record, expecting to find there a long black list, and lo! to his surprise there was found but the bov’s name at the head of the page. It is needless to siy tbe boy received a kindly rebuke, under wttich he broke down in tears and went home with love in his heart for his teacher and friend, a man rather than a brute, with self-respect in his heart instead of a burning sense of injustice
