SHVE THE PIECES.

Irccollect when very young, my h-
ther gave me some cloth to carry to the
tailor's, to make suit OF clothes, and
my mother, just as | went out Of the
door, laid strict injunction upon me, to
tell the tailor to sane the pieces IN due
time, when my clothes wanted mending,
my mother wanted the pieces, but the
pieces could not be found; upon which
we had a strong lecture upon the useful
practice Of Saving the pieces. This les
sou was so often repeated during my
youth, as to make an indeliblc impress
ion on my mind, SO as grew up, ] was
pretty careful to SAGE the pieces; and
this disposition led me into the habit of
looking round among my neighbors to
see If they also were equally careful to
save the pieces. We live now. MIR.
Printer, at the sign Of the case is altered,
and It becomes the duty ofevcry one
that is desirous of. avoiding ruin, to sdve
the pieces; every body appears 20 be
thoroughly convinced Of this necessity,
at least as far as talking goes--but many
having been for years in the habit of
throwing them away, make very awk.
ward attempts at sauing The peers
When i see family drinking rye coffee
for breakfast, and Madeira wine, at six
dollars per gallon at dinner, these people,
thinks /, don't understand Saving the
pieces. When ] see the young ladies
tripping along Chesnut.sireet, trick'd
out in silks, and rufiles, and Aounces,
and furbclows, and | emit tell what
their mothers, thinks l, had better keep
them at home, and teach them to save
the pieces. When l see half a dozen
dant'ies with high herlcd boots, and
snipc tailed coats, mincing along arm
and arm like SO many petit maitres--
these chaps, says I, will never know any
thing about the pieces. And when /
heard a ycpug lady just behind them,
declare her shawl was nsopusexs cheap,

Mr. PnIsrEs, 49,
I'VE taken dame for NY wife.
Who is more than half worried me ont Of my lifes
thought her angel and made her my bride,
hut soon found my rib such Msrn in my side
adst journey through life with dry pesss in my
shoes,
Would be . less plague than the conjugai noosei
Vet she's nice body, and will be genteel,
Tho my credit and property go 70 The de;;l-
Spends all can earn 40 the fruit Of my lsbors.
BY way OF outshining our counsriGedr' neighbour
She thinks she's enchanting whenever she's fine,
That mu Sins and gauzes will make her divine,
But alas! the more gewgaws she gets in her dress
The more ike dowdy she looks nc'ertheless.
Prom the crown Of her head to the sole Of her feet
All 20 sextrsvagsnt--nothng is neat.
AZ home she's sour vsag'd sort Of slattern,
Abroad She: set up for gentility's pattern,
And when lis her duty my stockings to darn
She's playing the gossip, and spinning street yarn
She mskes more confusion when wdshing day comes
Than twenty INTERVALS. all beating their drums
Lud iud, what swsshing and splashing about!
That old bully Hercaes made less root
ln cleansing the Angean stable, which you know
Was job he performed to obIige madam Juno.
her drixzling career not q mortal can STOP
You'd swear that her mother had Iong'd for a mop.
Books, garden seeds. furniture all set aAost,
And when she has ihus fnisl,'d raising Old Nick,
The dirt may accumulate half An inch thick,
And lay undistuI b'd for fortnight or more,
Ere she touches . brush or broom to the Hoor,
Ahu spincrs hanB copwebs all over the room
And not be annoyed by brush or q broom.
Sometimes she win deal in smooth speeches and
smiies,
Like wsnton that's witching q wight with her
80 wilesy
a man might mistake her for one of the misses
Who formerly cozzen'd the cautious Ulysses.
Or the lady which solomon says led sstray
a simpletor.dandy, Who dash'd in his day
AZ other times. Lord, how she'll scod, and she'll
snap,
Az cross as catamount caught in trap
} send you this sketch Of the faults of my dear,
In hopes when her pictures presented to view.
And she's forced to acknowledge the likeness 10
She will alter the features Of which complain,
Nor force me to draw such picture again

sent forward to the gate, intimation hay-
ing been given to the lord Mayor that
there was loud knocking at the gate,

at arms. attend with warrant to pro-
claim King George the Fourth Open
your gates" The City Marshal an
swered, :" l shall inform the Lord May
or that you are waiting at the gate"
The Marshal then rode back to the lord
Mayor, and having informed him that
the Herald King at Arms was III waiting
for admission. to proclaim, George the
Fourth, King Of England, was directed
by his L9rdship to give the admission
required, which was to be limited to the
Herald King at Arms. The Marshal
upon going to the gates. said to the Off
GERS, "Open one side Of The gays and
admit the Herald King at arms, and him
alone" The Herald then rode in, sup
ported by his guards, and was accompa-
MED by the City Marshal to the Lord

sented the warrant.--The Lord Mayo
Immediately said, admit the whole

from home, that is, from his dressing
room, was recently on journey some
80 or 40 miles from the metropolis !;
while at an inn, he called for a glass of
punch "weIl tempered with ice" which
the landlord, with usual attention, inme-
diately handed him. After slipping,
tasting, and smacking, the dandy with a
good share of t" 6eiIcacy' and owlish
wisdom, asked the landlord "what is
this here rec made on?'' After receiv.
ing Yankee answer from the landlord,
tile dandy observed that "ice was not

Keeling Hor8eS.-Every gentleman,
who is Obliged by his health or his bust
ness to keep horse, complains OF the
enormous expense incurred by it. Ii
allowed to eat and waste as much as he
chooses, horse will consume from four
to five tons of hay in year besides the
necessary grain. But it is asserted on
actual experiment, that ten pounds OF
good hay, with two quarts of corn day,
are enough to keep a common horse III
fine order. Ten pounds OF hay a day are
$3.50 pounds, little more than ton and a
half year-and two quarts Of corn day
are about twenty-three bushels year.
Call hay seven dollars a ton and corn four
shiilings bushel, and you make the an
nual expense of feeding horse twenty
six or seven dollars, about half as much
as it commonly costs.
To keep horse in the cheapest and
heaihiest manner, let him stand on green
surf, dug up pretty thick, and placed on
the floor of his stable: let him be care
fully and faithfully curried every day.
This is gilmore importance than is some
times imagined. 1t opens the pores and
preserves healtbful state of the skin,
on which, in horses as we'll as in men,
depends as much as on almost any thing
else the proper and healthful operation
of the various animal functions.
Although the inferior animals are not
like men subject to natural appetites on
account of unnatural stimulants received
into the stomach, they unquestionably
often consume more food than is neces-
sary to maintain their vigor and spirit.
This surplus it is economy to ascertain
and retrench.
Corn is cheaper than oats for horses,
because there is more heart in a quantity
ofthe same price. II is better to be given
two or three times day in small messes;
and to be given dry that mastcation of
il may keep the mouth in healthy state.
To measure hay the tare of basket
may be taken, and the hay given from it
in small quantities through the day, but
chiefly at night.
A horse that is not used should be fed
with corn but sparingly. He should &C.
caSIonally De saited.
1t is not perhaps generally considered,
shat horses are subject TO colds and fe-
yers as really as men. They should
therefore be used with great tenderness,
and delicacy, and often washed in cold
water. The pulse generally indicate
the health of a horse. 1t may be felt
about an inch back of the eye, and in
health beats about IS strokes minute.
The great secret in making horses
look we'll and do we'll is attention to them.
Men who are too great gentlemen to look
to their horses, must be too great gentle
men to ride good ones.
In using horses it is better to drive
briskly and stop often than to drive even
slowly by long stages.
