T AM A GASH BUYER OF— RYE GRASS, COCKSFOOT, AND CLOVER SEED. C. H. DOWDING. Agenfc^forJCooper's Sheep Dip. 67 nnHE Duke of Wellington carried a tender JL heart beneath a stern appearance. He is said to have been m tears the greater parb 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 lest." 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 Jame^ and the man—always the man—is the object of our pity. The horse's unaltered sufferings are rarely Ihought 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 do com plaint until forced; I used to be treated with greatest consideration and kindness, and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing waß under the personal care of MR KINGSTON. 2 17
