thnt if lie mint inn, he wimlil ln tho only
horse which hud done so; hut Hill 1 cimsid

ever wen. "Try linn to-morrow nt nun o'
clock," snid lie, nil he tnrneil to iro nwny, " I
will Imve n few friends with me to see how
you succeed."
I determined, however, to try dim thnt
night, anil without any witness to see w beih
r J succeeded or not. My room w.is over
llie stables, nml ns tlio moon iliil not rise till
eleven o'clock, I threw myself upon tlio bed
clothes, nml contrary to my iiitimtion, fi ll
sleep. When I awoke, it wns twelve, the
moon wm shining brightly, nml rendering
everything ns visible ns if it were ily.
I went down to the stnblo with u bridle,
prepared for the purpose, nnd n henvily
loaded whip in my hnml. I knew that it
wonhl ho impossible to saddle him; nul, in
deed I should he safer on hi" bare t):u k, in
the event; of his throwing himself down.
I opened the stable door g'.ntly, mid there ho

In p.
lie fuirly overturned nil my preronoeivi'd
notions of n fast horse. On lie thundered,
till we came under the shadow of n fir-wood,
ml then, whether out of mischief or dread
of the darkness, he halted instantaneously,
his fore-feet so close together that you might
Imve put them into n bucket. Owing to the
depression of his shoulders lor he had no
more withers than mi hks llie way lie nail
Jerked down his dead, nml the suddenness
f the stop a monkey, ulihmigli he had linen
holding on with his teeth, must have Is-en
unsealed. For me, I was pitched n long
way over li is head, but alighted iiion n spul
so stilt and mossy that it looked ns if some
kind lisnd had prepared it lor me. Had I in
the lightest decree been stunned, or uiiuiile
lo have pained my feet, that instant he would
bnve torn me to pieces with his toeih, nml
beaten my tunneled body Into the earth with
his hool. Uut I nt once sprang to my feet,
ml faced him. I rouhl have escaped by
leaping into the wood ; but my blood was up,
my brain clear, nml my heart gnve no extra
pulsation. There he stood upon his hind
legs nearly upright, beating the air with bis
rorti-fbcl, bis mouth open, bis upper lip curl
ad, bis under one draw n down, his huge
white teeth glancing like ivory in the moon
light. As soon ns he saw me upon my lict,
lie gave a yell such ns I hail never heard from
an horse before, save once, and which be
lieve is never elicited limn that iiliiuml ex
cept when under the iloii'iinatioii of liaiilie
rago or fear.
This unearthly cry roused every living
liiug within hearing. An army of rooks
startled from their encampment in the wood,
circled and wheeled between us nnd llie
moon, shading her light, nml filling the mid
night air with their discordant screams. This
ttrneted the attention of S.itau, nnd bringing
bis fore feet to the ground, he pricked up his
ears and listened. I sprang lot ward, seized
him hy the mane, nnd vaulted upon bis hack.
As I stooptn forward to gather up the reins,
which were dangling Irom his head, he

I was llie mailer ot tlio two now; unil of I

blow between the ears w ith the cud of the

might rise the more rendily, nnd then hnhed
him into life. He tinned bis head shmly
round und looked nt me, nml then 1 saw that
the savago glare of bis eyes was nearly
quenched, nnd that if I could 'follow up the
advantage 1 had gained, I should ultimately
ba the coiupierer. I now assisted him lo
rise, mounted him, and struck with whip und
pur. He gnve a few bounds forward, a
tagger or two, nml then fell heavily upon
bis side. I was iienrt) umlerhiin; however,
I did snva my distance, nlthough that wits nil.

A watery cloud was parsing over the (lice

accidentally came iu contact w ith bis sides.
lie gavo one tremendous leap lorwanl the
ground sank Under his feel the horse turn
tiled over his own head I was jerked into
the air ami amid iiuuvalaiiche ol euilli mid
stones, we hurled down n perpendicular
hank into the brown swollen waters of the
Clyde.
Owing to a Ih-iuI in the river the force of
the current was diiecled against this partic
ular spot, nud had undermined it ; und al
though strong enough tu hear a manor horse
under ordinary ciicumsliuices, jet down nt
mice it thundered under the desperate leap
of Satan. However, it did not siguily, ns
nothing rouhl have prevented us Irom surg

A large quantity of rain bud fallen in the
upper purl ol'lhe shire; nud in consequence,
the river was full Irom hank lo brae. 1 was
nearly o stranger to the place; indeed, so
much so, that 1 liail supposed we were run
ning limn the river. Thit-, combined with
the suddenness ut the shock, nml the appear
ance of n tin hid, rapid river sweeping down
trees, brushwood branches, liny, corn nnd
straw liclure it, with resistless force was so
fireigti to my idea of the calm, peaceful
Clyde, that wlien J rose to the surface, I wns
quite bewildered. and had very serious doubts
as to my own idcuity.
I wns roused from this slate of bewilder
ment by the snorting nud siilashiui: of the
horse; ho was making a hold attempt to
stale the perpendicular bnnk. Had I been
Ihrowu into the tmdy of tfin stream, 1 should
have lieen swept nway, nud the nnimnl must
have perished ; but iu all heavy runs of water.
salt or fresh, there is what is termed an eddy
stream, running close iu shore, in a contrary
ilirei'tinu from the main body of wnter. I
have seen highbinders in their boats catching
IWi in the eddy stream of tint Oulf of Cor
rievrc kin, within a short distance of the main
tide, w hich, had it but got the slightest hold
on their boats, wonhl have swept Hiein with
li.'arl'ul velocity into the j iws of lliu roaring
gulf. 1 was caught hy this eddy, which kept
me stationary, nud enabled me by a lew
strokes, to reach the horse's side.
To cross the river, or to laud here, wns
iiliko impossible; so I look the reins in my
light build, wheeled at once from the bank,
nud dashed at once with him into I hi) strength
of the current. Away we went, .Satan nnd
i'i capital spirits, both; not u doubt of our
eU'ectiug n safe binding over crossing my
mind. And the horse evinced his certainty
nu thnt subject, by snatching a bite out of n
hcip of hay that Honied at his side, ami eat
inn it as composedly as if he had been in the
stable.
We soon swept round tlio high bnnk thnt
bad caused our misfortune, mid came to a
level pnrl of the country, which was flooded
liir up into tho fields. I then struck strongly
out iu n blaming direction for the shore, and
soon bail the siilisliictimi of finding myself
once more upon the green turf. Satan shook
liunsell, pricked up his ears, nnd gave n low
neigh. 1 then stroked him, nud spoke kindly
to bim. He returned the caresses by licking
my hand. Poor fellow ! he had contracted
ii friendship for me iu the water n friend
ship which terminated only with his life;
nud which wns rendered the morn valuable,
by bis never extending it to unother living

The Sleeper on Galilee.
BY MISS H. J. MEEK.
The storms were abroad, and tho winds on the
sea
Had roc ked the rough cracllo of dark Oalilec,
Till tho waters were fearful, and hoarse was the
roar.
As tho billows leaped outward, and broko on
the shoro.
A frail hark was ploughing each hollow and
atccp.
Now mounting to ether, now lost in the deep,
And the face of tho seaman at mldninht grow
pale,
And his moans and his murmurs wore lost in
tho gale.
Yot ono in that tumult wns sleeping the whilo,
And his check of pulo peacofulnoss glowed to a
smile;
Whilo tho anguish that shadowed his forehead
by day,
In a dream of strange rapture had melted away.
Ho slept "on a pillow," and slumber was sweet,
For faint were his eyelids and weay his feet t
Ho hud wept in tho desert and traversed the
grove,
For tho lovo of his mcrey, tho lost of his love.
A wail on his car, and a hand on his arm
" Ah 1 carcst thou not that wo dio in the atorm'r"
And sesreo from thut lip had the murmuring
passod,
Ere the brow of tho sleeper wis bared to the
blast.
Ho breathed on tho billows, they knelt to his
breath,
And still was the heart of the ocean in death ;
And tho pitiless tempest came muto at his nod,
And furled its durk wings in tho presence of
God.
Tho stars wore in waiting, and full was tho glow,
As they thronged o'er the motionless mirror
below, we,
And fearful ones whispered, " what being have
That reins the fierce tempest and fetters the sear"
But he turned with a sigh to his pillow apart,
And tho dreum that was brokou crept back to
his heart; .
And tho word that had stilled, and the storm
that had riven,
Alike were forgot in that vision of heaven I

LITTELL'S LIVING AGE.

Cambridge, April 24, 1844.
I have rend the prospectus w itL ereul plea
sure, and entirely approve the idnn. If il
can only obtain tbe public patronage long
enough, nnd Inrge enough, and securely
enough to main its true ends, it will contri
bute in nn eminent degree to give a healthy
tone not only to our literature, hut to public
opinion. It will enable us to possess In a
moderate compass a select library of the best
productions ol the nge. It will do morn il
will redeem our periodienl literature from
the rrprnnrh of being devoted to light nnd
superficial rending, to transitory spcri.lali on,
tnsickly nnd ephemeral sentimentalities, ana
false and extravagant sketches of life and
diameter. JOSEPH STORY.
