I'veentered him for'the Ladies' Hack Race and I want to keep him under my own eye until the time/' The' gentleman was so overcome by astonishment and amusement than he offered no objection to the proposed arrangement, and on the eventful day the young lady not only rode in tho' race, but won it, and returned home in great glee with the stakes, evidently taking it for granted that her triumph would bo heartily participated by every member of the household. It should be added that, barring her sporting tastes, the damsel is all that could bo desired as a •'help," and it is pleasing to know that her patronage of the flirt has caused no interruption of her relations with her employer? On tho contrary, it is understood that in future that gentleman's " stable" will be regularly represented at the annual vaco meeting,
