Every gentleman who is obliged by his health or
business to keep horse, complains Of the enor-
nous expense incurred BY it. If allowed to eat and
waste as much as he chooses, horse will consume
from four 10 five tons of hay in year, besides the
necessary grain. But it is asserted from actual
experiment, thar ten pounds of good hay, with two
quarts Of corn day, are enough TO keep common
horse in fine order. Ten pounds of hay day are
$3.50 pounds, little more than ton and half a
year--and two quarts Of corn per day are about
twenty three bushels year. Call hey seven dollars
la ton, and corn four shillings a bushel, and you
make the annual expense Of feeding horse twenty
six or seven dollars, about half aa much as it COM
monty costs.
To keep horse in the cheapest and heallhiest
manner, let him stand on green turf, dug up pretty
thick, and placed on the floor of his stable let him
|be carefully and faithfully curried every day
This is of more Importance than is sometimes ina
lgined. 1t opens the pores and preserves heahful
state Of the skin, on which, in horses as in men,
depends, as much as almost any thing else, The
proper and healthy operation Of the various animal
functions.
| Although the inferior animals are not, like men,
subject to unnatural appetites on account of unna-
tural slimulans received into the stomach, they
|unquestionable often consume more food tlsn is
necessary to maintain their yigor and spirit This
surplus it is economy to ascertain and retrench.
| Corn is cheaper than oats for horses, because
there is more heart ina quantity OF the same price.
| 1t is better to be given two or three times day in
small messes--and to he given dry that the masti.
cation Of it may keep the mouth in healthy state.
/! To measure hay the tare Of basket may be ia
KEN and the hay given from it in small quantities
Through the day, but chiefly at night
4 horse that is not used should be fed with corn
but sparngly. 1t should be occasionally sailed.
4 1t is not perhaps generally considered, that hor-
Ises are iect colds and levers as really
Il They should therefore be used with great tender
ness and delicacy, and often washed in cold water.
The pulse generally indicates the health of horse.
1t may be eli about an inch back OF the eye, and in
health beats about thirty FIVE strokes in minute.
4 The great secret in making horses look well and
! do we'll is attention TO Them. Men who are above
Hooking to their horses will seldom ride good ones
In using horses il is better to drive briskly and
n stop often than 10 drive slowly by long stages.

llopstock, the German Poet wrote the verses from
which the idea of the following was taken--they
are translated into English prose, or, may be, il
was intended for blank verse.
Who thro' the boundless realms Of space
Our whrling orb all pleasant flung?
Who gave the sun resting place,
And starry lamps around it hung?
Who bid the former light the day;
The latter sparkle 10 the even?
He, whom all times and space obey
:" Our Father aOho art in Heaven \"
Who formed our race, whose wond'rous care
From nothing made the creature man;
Whose power at once is every where;
Whose being none can say began;
Who bid all creatures own the sway,
He gave our favored kind 10 claim;
The great ALL-wIsE and worlds must say,
".U hatlotced be thy name"
And of his handy work divine,
No portion small escapes his sight;
For he who bids the planets shine
Protects the sparrow in its flight.
And man exclaims when life is run,
All Joys extinct, all feelings rven,
Thy kingdom come, thy ,CW be done
IN earth as ii as IN Heaven.
And that same hand which gave us life,
Lends thro' its scenes protecting power;
Shields US from harm in fields oil strife,
Meath noon-tide sun, in midnight hour:
Then, though in fortunes rays we bask;
Though honors circle round our head;
Still should we ever humbly ask,
Giue as this day our daily bread.
Best beings! oh how proudly great
This partial favor makes us all;
Yon Heaven above is our estate,
Its glorious Lord we Father call
But will its portal ope to us,
When springs the soul from earthly letters?
Yes, if our faith and prayers are thus,
Our debts forgive, as ace forgive our debtors
But not the roses ruby pride
The lilly's cup Of snowy hue
Could save them from the whelming tide
Or prop them where the whirlwind blew.
IT'S so with US, and all creation
Should pray in danger or in reye,
"0h lead us NOS into temptation,
"But deliUer as from eriL"
Then thro' the air send trumph's notes,
Aye, let all space with them be ringing;
So that the wild bird as he floats
Shall startled hear us gladly singing,
From babe Just born TO sire that's hoary
The worlds till death each tie shall sever.
Thine is the Kingdom posCer and glory
Euer and erer, erer erer.

OF three memoers, by the last caucus, now presented
IA pretty formidable force. They required, now,
but one person to give the Doctor majority, pro-
vided they AL stood firm. All eyes were now turn
ed towards MIR. Reynolds, he being the only one of
the three, OF whom this party had any hopes. Every
art tried to gain him over to the Doctor, bu,
every article was counteracted, and proved unaya-

There was a lady lived at Leith,
lady very stylish, man;
And yet. in spite of all her teeth.
She fell in love with Irishmani
A nasty. ugly Irshman,
wild tremendous Irishman-
| tearing, swearing, humping, humping ramping
roaring lTishman.
His face was no ways beautiful,
For with small X twas scarr'd across,
And the Shoulders 81 the ugly dog
Were almost double yard across.

The Whskey devouring Irishman,--
The great he rogue with his wonderful brogue. the
fighting rioting Irishman.
One Of his eyes was bottle green,
And the other eye out, my dear;
And the calves Of his wicked looking legs
Were more than three feet about, my dear
O the great big Irishman,
The rafting, battling Irshman--
The stamping, ramping, staggering, staggering lah-
ering swash Of an Irishman.
He took 50 much Of Lundy-oot,
That he used TO snort and shuttle O;
and in shape and size, the fellows neck
Was as bad as the neck of Buffaloe
O the horrible Irishman,
The laundering, blundering Irishman
The sashing,. dashing, smashing, ashing thrashins
hashing Irshman
His name terrible namei indeed,
Being Timothy Thady Mulligan,
And whenever he emptied his tumbler Of punch,
He'd not rest till he hl'd full il again.
The boozing, bruisng Irshnan.
The toxicated Irshman-
The whiskey. risky, rummy gummy, brandy no dandy
Irishman.
This the lad the lady lov'd
Like all the girls Of quality
And he broke the skulls Of the men Of Leith,
Just by the way Of jollity.

The barbarous savage Irishman-
The hearts Of the maids, and the gentlemens heads.
