LOAFER OOULOQUr. Among the dry, quaint, and philosophical scenes with which Mr. Neat's recent tolumes of "Char coal Sketches" abounds, we think the following soliloquy of a loafer) who had beeu sleigh riding and got spill," is inimitable t Mlts a man's nalur, I believe, and we cant help it, no hw, As for me, I wish I w a pg there a some sense in being a pig wot'sjat. Pigs don't bave to specilate, and bust ; pigs never go a sleighing, quarrel with their dsddies-io law wst was lo be, get into sprees, and make tsrnal loots uf themselves. Pigs is decent behaved people, and good citixens, though they ain't got no wote. ,x And . then they hav'nt got no old clothes to put on of cold morning, when they get up ; they don't hare lo be dsrniu'fand patching Ibeir own pants they don't wear old hats oa their heads, nor hsve ihey to ask people for 'em ; cold wittals is plenty for pigs. My eye I if I wss a jolly fat pig, belonging lo respectable people, it would be tantamount to nothin' with me, who was President. Who ever see'd one pig sitlui' on a cold curbstone, rub1in-an-other pig's head wot got chucked out of a sleigh t Pigs has too much sense to go a rid in', if so be as tbey-ean help it, I wish 1 was one, and out of this scrspe. It's true pigs has Iheir troubles like human's: constables catches 'em ; dogs bite 'em ; and pigs sometimes done over suckers as men. But pigs never rune Iheir own noses into scrapes, coaifii themselves lo believe it's fun, as we do. I never see a pig go the whole bog in my life' 'sept upon rum cherries." THE HORSE AND HIS RIDER. av Lswaii todd. M The horse knoweth his owner," jmd he knows much more. I verily believe he knows more than many of the two legged animals who ride upon his back ; and i am quite sure there is more of the spirit of Christianity in his practice than is to be limnd in m m? of the biped aforesaid, for lite hone, especislly the nriMn', imi, on the 8tb bath ; whereas, ins .rider often works harder for the soul andf body tugether-oM-- any -other- dayin-the-eek. Beside, the horse will caress the hand that foed hiiu;but thousands uf his riders thank nut God, in whom they live, and move, and have their s few snecdotes of this beautiful and friendly ani imlr'Ufie-ls--,eisa W- entlwJfer4, ( 4 (h -and art -arwrv of Wha rmm stouaTirw 'itsM wiiw.s,.sM the horses were turned out to ia-iture, this good tempered creature constantly look his blind friend under his protection. When he strayed from his companions, his kind friend would run neighing. after, and smell round bim, and when reeogmz- d, ney would walk side by side, until the blind friend was led to the best grass in the field. Th? horte was so exceedingly gentle that lie had incurred the character of being a coward, when only himself was concerned j but if any of lhem made an al ack upon but blind friend, he w ould fly lo the rescue with such fury, that not a horse on the field could stand against him. This singular sagacity. I hid a I moot said of disinterested human ity, may well put Ihe whole fraternity of horse jockeys lo the blush. Tbev, Iu be sure, will fight (by a brother jockey, whether he is right or wrong : yet they expect him to fight for them on the first similar occasion ; but this kindht artcd animal could anticipate no such reciprocity. 8ome years ago, ihe servaut of Thomas Wslk cr, of Manchester, Euglsnd, .going lo water Ihe carriage horses al a atone trough which stooil al one end uf the Exchange, a dog thai was acrua tnreed lo lie in the stall with one of lhem, followed lb horse as ususl. On the way, he wss attacked by a Urge mastiff, and waa in danger of being kil led. Tbe dog's favorite horse seeing the critical situation of bis friend, suddenly broke loose from the eeftajil, ran to the spot wl fighting, and with a violent kick threw the mastiff from Ihe other dog into a cooper's cellar opposite j aud having thus rescued hi friendly companion, relumed quietly with bim to drink al Ihe fountain, God, epeaking to Job, ask him t " Hast thou given the horxe strength f (last thou clothed his neck with thunder t He mocketh al fear, ami is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from ths sword." Shortly after that mighty battle, which closed the career of Bonaparte, ami staed his wholesale murders, and al the disbanding of pott of ihe British army, Ihe remains of a troop of horse, belonging to the 8tch Graya were brought to the hammer. The captain being rich, and a man of feeling, was loth to see the noble fellows turned into butcher, baker, or beer house drugs, after helping 10 drive the French from (Spain, and to turn Ihe flank of Ihe Invincible at Waterloo. He 1 therefore bought Ihe whole lot, and set them loose in one of his fiiM grass parks, to wear away their old age in piece. One warm summer evening, when it was just dark enough to render lightning visible, a vivid flash waa instantly followed by a J food report -of thunder. At this moment the bur.,. sew,ere grazing leisurely, and apart from one an- other ; but seeing tiie thus, and hearing tbf re port, Ihey thought a battle had begun. In a min ute Ihey were in the ceutre of the field, all drawn up iu line, their beautiful ears quivering with enti ty, like the leaf of a poplar trembling in the breeze. listening lor the word of the rider to lead them to the charge. My intormant, who waa an eye wit nessoi this woudeitul scene, told pie lie had of ten seen these horses. Many ( them bore honor sble scars on Iheir faces, necks, and shoulder, but none on the rump. A BcoU b G ray never turns tail." ; -- ' ' . Some (ew years ago, a baker in London, pur chased an old horse at public sale. lie placed on his sides a pair of panniers, or Urge baskets, sue peiided by a strong leathern strap across the hack, where he himself sat, while his feet rested on a block of woo3 attached to the sides. Thus ac coutereJ, lie sallied forth lo supply his customer with hot rolls, &mu One .day he happened to be passing Ihe gsle of Ilyd Park at the moment the trumpet was sounding for the regiment of Life Guards to U in. No sooner had ihe sound assail led the animal's ears, than bedashed like lightning through the park, with the baker on his back, into the mid of the squadron I The poor man, con founded at being placed in military line in the front rank of the Lile Guards, began to whip, kick, spur, and swear ; but all to no purpose. Hie old char ger wss so aroused at lite 'sound of the trumpet, that lo move him from bis slut ion was impossible. Tbe soldiers were elceedingly amused at the gro tesque appearance of the baker and the deportment ofdna steed, and were expressing their surprise at the apparition, when an old comrade recognized the animal, and informed the corps thai the horse once belonged to ibe regiment, but had been sold, on account of some infirmity, a few years before. Several of the officers kindly greeted their old companion ; and the colonel, delighted a) tbe cir cumnlance, gnve the signal lo advance in line; when I ho baker, finding all resistance useless, calmly . revigned himself lo his) situation. The trumpet then sounded the charge, and the rider was instantly carried, between his two panniers, with the rapidity uf Ihe wind, to a great distance. Various evolutions ware Iheu performed, ia which the aiiimai Jisplayed sundry equestrian feats. Al length ihe sound of retreat was proclaimed, when off went tos sagacmus , creature , with his. rider A ter having performed his duly in the field he content to resign himself lo Ihe guidance oi tbe bridle In a more humble walk of life. Rrpublici of Europt.Fw reflect that there are several republics now existing on the ctmtiut-at of Europe.
