Agent Jot {Cooper's Sheep Dip. riIHE Duke of Wellington carried a tender _1_ heart beneath a stern appearance. He is said to have been m tears the greater parti of the day succeeding Mb great-victory, and pathetic indeed, is the exclamation attributed to him, "Believe me, there is nothing more terrible than a battle won, except a battle lost." But who can describe a man's anger — controlled of course—where, every pre paration having been made for an urgent journey, eveiyv ' is lost through the horse falling lame, and the man—always the man—is the object of our pity. The horse's unuttered sufferings are rarely thought of, beyond the removal of the shoe (often unskilfully done) and an imprecation upon the blacksmith. The owner ought to consider his servant's comfort, who, could he speak, would Bay, •• I uttered no com plaint until forced; I used to be tteated with greatest consideration and kindness, and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing was under the personal care of MR KINGSTON. 2 17 WILLIAM = =PATCHING, EAST STREET.
