different intellectual capacities and temper*;
but all may bo mastered by kindness, while
tho best, the most high-spirited, liio inos'

To illustrnte this which we mean to enlarge
upon hereafter, we will relate a little
circumstance that occured during a tour 10
to the Wnitu ll.lls. Having n horse?a
fine light grny sadJlc policy, we undertook,
with a fiiond, to ride to the summit of one
of tlio mountain*. Federal?that was Ins
name?and ho belonged to Miles?would
huvo dono anything for mo, for he and I
had become woll acquainted, and h?? was
n most noblodioancdf follow. Federal
>? clambered up according to any directions.
I thought I could fti'u ih" Ivst
way, and guided him accordingly. Wo got
ut l.ist upon the {>enk, where was a level ot
come yards square, and Federal who never
had Leon up so high in the world before,
as wo slicked the rein, turned
three times round to look at tho prosj^-ci,
and thou set up u sCiRam of del ghl. It was
not a neigh nor a whinner, nor nuy common
mode of talking for a horse, hut it was a
regular hurrah, as much as ?o say " O !
thunder and lightning ! Ami this glorious ?"
After n while wo turned to descend, and
gave Federal his own way. It aeomed at
