ESSAY ON THE HORSE.

Improvements of every kind in that which
is useful deserve attention, and the person
who farms my place, by simple contriv-
ancc to make two old posts in rail fence
supply the place, answer very nearly al
the purposes of new one, has contriouted
more to the good OF mankind, than the VINE
bibber Alexander, and the barbarous Chen
gis Khan by all their victories.
l have often seen, and so dare say have
most people seen, before farmers door
many old posts which, being decayed, by
long contact with the earth, at the bottom,
have been laid aside as fit only for fircwood.
Take two of these posts, saw OFT the un-
sound part, which usually extends very little
if any, above what has been covered by the
Garth bury one of them so as to cover two
of the post holes and you will then have
three holes above the ground. Then place
the other post close to one buried, so that
the rails will pass through three holes OF
each leaving of couse two holes Of the latter
above any point of their union. The rails
thus placed, braced the two posts together,
and make them sufficiently substantial for
all inner enclosures, and the fence will be of
the usual height, that is, five rails. or five
and half feet. Simple as this operation is
am sure might have saved OIL my farm
some hundred of dollars, had l known 1t
twenty years ago.
Sir John Chardin says that "the Arabian
method of trying a maiden horse, is to ride
him ninety miles without stopping, and then
plunge him up to the chest in water. 1t
he would immediately eat his food, that
proef of the yigour Of his appetite also
proves the genuineness of his blood" This
mode OF trial, if ever practised, would in
hi III irfio uy,th ctr for
if it prove the "biood'' of the horse, one
would imagine that it proved too, the hardi-
hood, patience and perseverance of the rider.
Be that as it may, one fact is beyond dispute,
it is this, those horses which with us we call
.bloed horses" possesses in greater or less
degree, probably according to the mixture
or in other words, the purity of their blood
all these qualities which we admire in theil
progenitors.
1t would be no difficult matter to satisfy
the most sceptical man, that horse which
is able to travel sixty miles day. for week
together is better and more profitable an
imal than one which can journey over but *
miles, and at that rate for few days only
yet this is about the average difference be
tween the "blood horses" and the common
ones. 1t was stated few years ago by Mr.
Chester Baily, Of Philadelphia, a gentlema'
who has been extensively concerned in tn
mail line of stages between Baltimore an
New-York; for quarter of a century, tina
"blood horses" were capable according t
his experience, Of accomplishing one thir
more labour in given time than the com
mon breed. Who then if he be able to ot
tain "blood horse" would purchase an
o,her! Certainly not he who has tried boil

John Randolph in an error! !!-Nlr. Randolph,
the Senator from Virginia. prides himself on the
great powers of his memory, and the nicely OF his
acquaintance with historical and classical matters /;
so much so that mistake in this respect in anoth
er person is never suffered 10 escape his severest
correction.
In his introduction to his resolution respecting
Negro Slavery in South America, where he intro.
duced a comparison between Washington and Boil
var, he says, with not little pomposy, as il to
show his learning; :" remember" as if he had
heard it himself " / remember sir, that the old
Earl OF Bedford, when he was condoled with by a
hypocrite, who wished in fact to wound his feelings
on the murder Of his son, Lord Russel, indignantly
replied, that he would not exchange his dead son
for the living son of any man on earth So !, Mr..
President, would not give our dead Washington for
any living Washington, or any Washington that is
likely to live in your time, Mr. President, or mine"
Now it happens that Mr.. Randolph does not ere

1t was neither the duke of Bedford nor his Son
Lord Russell, but the Duke of Ormand and his son
Lord Ossory. This beautiful sentiment Of the be.
reayed Duke, the language and incidents OF which
Mr. r. has shockipgly mangled, may be found
in the 9th Vol. Of Hume's History OF England,
page l67. "Ormapd bore the loss of his son
with patience and dignity, though he ever retain
ed pleasing, however melancholy, sense of the
signal merits Of Ossory'' would not exchange
my dead SON." said he, " for any living son in
