for she said •' god has taken back a little angel he lent me lor a few years and why should 1 weep for my happy happy child !" the moonlight ride a number of years ago a gentleman in j clydesdale offered me a situaiion ot head j groom which i accepted he had one horse \ which was kept in a stable by himself and j was without exception the ugliest and most j savage animal ot his kind i had ever seen — j there was nol a single point of a strong or fast i horse aboul him he was black as charcoal ; j — he was named saian and richly did he de j serve the name he would fly at you like a dog with his teelh ; attempt to beal you down j with his forefeet ; and strike around a corner al you with his hind ones he had beaten off all the rough riders grooms and jockeys in that j pari of the country after being at tbe place a few days i was \ asked by the gentleman if i thought i could make anything of satan i replied that if he \ beat me he would be the first horse that had ever done so ; bul still i considered him to be . by far lhe most savage i had ever seen " try him to-morrow at one o'clock said he as he turned lo go away : " i will have a lew iriends with me to see how you succeed 1 determined however to try him that night and without any witness to see whether i sue , ceeded or not my room was over the stables and as the moon did not rise till eleven o'clock i threw myself upon the bed clothes and contra ry to my intention fell asleep when i woke it was twelve the moon was shining brightly and rendering everything as visible as it it ; were day i went down to the stable with a bridle pre pared for the purpose and heavily loaded whip in my hand 1 knew lhal it would be impossi ble to saddle him ; and indeed 1 would be sa ler on his bare back in the event of throwing himself down i opened the stable door gen tly and ihere ho was prone on his side his legs and neck stretched out as i had often seen , horses laying alter sore fatigue i clapped my knee upon his head loosed ihe collar that bound him slipped the bit into his mouth buckled lhe throat band raised him to his leet and backed him out and leaped upon his back belore he i bad lime to get his eyes wide open but open | them now he did and that wiih a vengeance ; he pawed and si tick the walls with his tore feet till the fire flash from tbe stones and then he reared till be fell back upon the pavement i was prepared for this and slipped off ot him | as he went down and then leaped on him a j gain as he rose i had not as yet touched him with whip bridle orspurr : bul now i gave him the curb and ihe spur at the same instant j he crave one mad bound and then went oft at | a rafe that completely eclipsed the speed ofthe j fleetest horse i had ever ridden he could not j trot bul his gallop was unapproachable and j i consisted of a succession of leaps p^med j ! with a precision velocity and strength absolute j ly bewildering . , ! he fairly overturned all my preconceived no i tions of a gul horse on he thundered nil he i came under lhe shadow of a firwood and then whether out of mischief or dread of the dark ne*s he baited instantaneously his forefeet so close together that you might have pul them in to a bucket owing to the depression ot bis shoulders for he had no more withers than an as,__the way lhat he jerked down his head and the suddenness of ihe stop a monkey al though he had been holding on with his teeth musfhave been unseated for me i was pitch ! ed a long way over his head but alighted upon j a spot so solt and mossy lhat it looked as if ! some kind hand had purposely prepared it for j me had i been lhe least stunned or unable j to gain my feet lhat instant he would have torn me to pieces with his teeth and beaten my mangled body into the earth with his hoofs — bu i at once sprang to my feet and faced him i could have escaped by leaping into the wood ; bul my blood was up my brain clear and my heart gave not one extra pulsalion there he stood upon his hind legs nearly upright beating the air with his fore-feet his mouth opened his upper lip curled his under one drawn down his large while teeth glancing like ivory in lhe moonlight a soon as he saw me upon my feet he gave a yell such as i had never heard irom a horse before save once and which i believe is never elided from lhat an imal except under the domination of frantic rage or fear this unearthly cry aroused every thing li v ing wiihin hearing an army of rooks start led from iheir encampment in the wood cir cled and wheeled between us and the moon shading her light and filling the midnight air wiih discordant screams this attracted the attention of satan and bringing his fore-feet tothe ground he pricked up his ear and listen ed i sprang forward and seized him by the mane and vaulted upon his back as i stoop ed forward to gather up the reins which wero from his head he caught me by the cuft of the jacket — luckily il was but the cuff — and tore it up to the shoulder instantly he seiz ed me again ; but this lime he succeeded rath er belter having a small portion of the skin and flesh of my thigh between his teelh the intense pain occasioned by lhe bite or ralher bruise of a borse can only be properly judg ed by those who have fell it 1 was the madder of the two now ; and of all animals an enraged man is the most dangerous and i most fearless i gave him a blow between ihe ears with the end of the whip and he went down at ouce stunned and senseless with his legs doubled under him and his nose buried in the ground 1 drew his forelegs from under him that he might rise the more readily and ihen lashed bim into life he turned his head slowly round and looked at me and then i saw the savage looking glare of his eye was nearly quenched and lhat if 1 could follow up the advantage 1 had gained i should ultimately be the conqueror i now assisted him to rise mounted him and struck j at once with whip and spur he gave a few bounds forward and a stagger or two and then fell heavily upon his side i was nearly under him ; however i did save my distance although that was about all i now began to feel sorry for him his won derful speed had won my respect ; and as 1 was far from being naturally cruel whip or j spur 1 never used except in cases of necessity : i so i thought i would allow him lo lie for a j few minutes if he did not incline lo get up j of himself however as i had no faith in j the creature i sal down upon him and watch ed hitn intently he lay motionless with his , eyes shut ; and had it not been for the firm . and fast beat of his hearl i should have con sidered him dying from lhe effects ofthe blow but the strong pulsation told me there was pien i ty of life in him ; and i suspected he was lying j quiet meditating mischief i was right ev i ery muscle began presently to quiver with sup . pressed rage he opened his eyes and gave \ me a look in which fear and fury were sl range iy blended i am not without superslilion and for an instant i quailed under that look as . the thought lhat lhe black unshapely brute be , fore me might be lhe spirit indicated by his name with a muttered growl at my lolly i threw the idea from me leaped up seized , the reins with a lash and a cry made him j spring to his feet — mounted him as he rose i and struck the spurs into his sides he reared and wheeled bul finding lhat he could nol get rid of me and being unable to stand tbe torture i of the spurs which i used freely it was no time lor mercy !) he gave iwo or three plunges and then bounded away at lhat dreadful leaping gallop that pace which seemed peculiarly his own i tried to moderate his speed with the bridle ; but found to my surprise lhat i had no command over him 1 knew at once that some j thin was wrong as with the bit 1 had in his mouth i ought to have had the power to have broken his jawbone i stooped forward to as certain the cause ; the loose curb dangling at the side of his head gave satisfactory explanation he had it all his own way now ; he was fairly oft with me ; and all i could do was to bear bis head as well as i could to prevent him from stumbling however as it would have been bad policy to let him know how much he was master i gave him an occasion al touch with the spur as if wishing him to accelerate his pace ; and when he made an extra bound i palled him on the neck as if pleas ed with his performance \ watery cloud was passing over the lace of the moon which rendered every-th.ng dim and indistinct as we tore away down a grassy slope ; the view terminating in a grove ot tall trees situated upon a rising ground beyond the dark outline of the trees 1 saw nothing as we neared the grove satan slacked his speed this i thought he did with an intention to crush me against the trunks of lhe trees to prevent him from doing this 1 struck him with the spurs and again he went like fury s he burst through the trees 1 flung my head forward upon his neck to prevent myself from beim swept off by the lower branches in do in this the spurs accidently came in contact with his sides he gave one tremendous leap forward the ground sank under his jet-the horse was thrown over his own head-l a5 jerked into the air and amid an ava.anche of earth and stones we were hurled down a per pendicular bank into he brown swollen trtm of the clyde owing to a bend in the r ve the force of the current was directed again this particular spot and had undermined it and ll.hough strong enough to bear a man or a horse under ordinary circumstances yet down at once it thundered under the desperate eap of satan however it did nol signify as noth ing could have prevented us from surging into the river at the next bound a large quantity of rain had fallen in lhe up j per part of ihe shire ; and in consequence the river was full from bank to bank i was j nearly a stranger to the place ; indeed so much 1 so lhat i had supposed we were running from the river this combined with ihe suddenness ' of the shock and lhe appearance ot a turbid j rapid river sweeping down trees brushwood branches hay corn and straw belore it with resistless force — was so foreign to my idea of calm peaceful clyde that when i rose to the surface i was quite bewildered and bad very serious doubts as to my own identity i was aroused from this state of of bewilder ; men by the snorting and splashing ofthe horse ; he was making boid attempts lo scale the per pendicular bank had i been ihrown into the body of the stream i must have been swept a way and the animal must have perished but , iu all heavy runs of water sail or fresh ihere i is what is termed the eddy stream running ; close in shore in a contrary direction lo the ; main body of water i have seen highlanders ; in tbeir boats catching fish in the eddy-siream of he gulf of corrievrekin within a short dis : lance of he main tide which had it but got lhe slightest hold on their boat would have swept them with fearful velocity in the jaws of ike roaring gulf i was caught by this eddy ; which kept me stationary and enabled me by a few strokes to reach the horse's side to , cross the river or to land here was alike im possible ; sol took the reins in my right hand j wheeled the horse from the bank and dashed at once into the strength ofthe current away ' i we went satan and 1 in capital spirits both : , ! not a doubt of our effecting a safe landing ever i l crossed my mind and the horse evinced his certainty upon that subject by snatching a bite ! out of a heap of hay that floated at bis side ■ \ and eating it as composedly as if he had been i in lhe stable i we soon swept around the high bank which ; i had caused our misfortune : and came to a lev j \ el part of the country which was flooded far ; up into the fields i then struck strongly out j i in a slanting direction for the shore and soon j ' had the satisfaction of finding myself once more j j upon the green turf satan shook himself and \ pricked up his ears and gave a low neigh i \ , then stroked him and spoke kindly lo him — j he returned tbe caress by licking my hand — ■ ! poor fellow ! he had contracted a friendship for j i me in water — a friendship which terminated on i ly with his life ; and which was rendered the i more valuable by his never extending it to an other living thing the mammoth cave of ken tucky the subjoined interesting extract rela ting to this great natural curiosity is ex tracted from willis's letters in the new york home journal : col croghan to whose family it be longs was resident of louisville ken \ tucky he went to europe twenty years j ago and as an american found himself frequently questioned of the wonders of the mammoth cave a place he had nev er visited and of which at home though living within ninety miles of it he had heard very little he went there imme diately on his return and the idea struck j him to purchase and make it a family in j heritance in 15 minutes bargaining he bought it for 810.000 though shortly after | he was offered 100.000 for his purchase • in his will he tied it up in such a way that j it must remain in his family for two gene i rations thus appending its celebrity to his name there are nineteen hundred acres in the estate three square miles above j ground though the cave probably runs un j der the property of a great number of other j land owners for fear of those who might j dig down and establish an enl ranee to the cave on their own property a man's farm extending up to zenith and down to the nadir great vigilance is exercised to pre i vent such subterranean surveys and mea | surements as would enable them to sink | a shaft with any certainty the cave ex | tends ten or twelve miles in several direc i tions and there is probably many a back j woodsman sitting in his log hut within j 10 miles of the cave quite unconscious j that the most fashionable ladies and gen tlemen of europe and america are walk j ing without leave under his corn and po ;
