When wetiave the black horse and one of the otherstogether, the black comes in for the mostpoints. Our white chickens are not molested whenscratching in the yard; but the Minorcasare allowed to stay hardly long enough tolocate a hunting-ground.

Inthe first little cell there is latently contain-ed the whole future animal with all its va-rying psychic ((ualities. Is there on theface of the earth any thing more mysteriousand wonderful than this minute cell, whosediameter is perhaps not more than j^o ofthe width of a line?
