He ib said to have been m tears the greater part of the day succeeding his 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, every*. 1 ' is lost through the horse failing lame, and the man—always the man—is the object of our pity. The horse's unuutered 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 say, " I uttered no com plaint until forced; I used to be treated with greatest consideration and kindnesa, and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing was under the personal care of ME KINGSTON. 2 17 WILLIAM = =PATCHING, EAST STREET.
