was in company with an English frigate, and
after the gale saw the same frigate, with all her

COLTS.

"Colts are usually foaled about the be-
ginning of summer, and it is the custom to
let them run till Michaelmas with the mare,
at which time they are to be weaned When
first weaned they are to be kept in conven-
lent house, with low rack and manger tor
hay and oats; the hay must be very sweet
and hne, especially at first, and a little wheat
brand should be mixed with their oats, IN
order to keep their bodies open and make
them eat and drink freely.-When the win
ter is spent, they should be turned into some
dry ground, where the grass is sweet and
short, and where there is good water that
they may drink at pleasure. The winter
after this, they may be kept in the stable,
without anv further care than that which is
taken of other horses: But after the first
year, the mare foas and horse foals are not
to be kept together. There is no difficulty
to know the shape foal is like to be of; fol
the shape he carries at a month, he will
carry at six years old, if he be not abused i'll
after keeping"
"NVe often hear it lamented that our breed
of horses is SO bad. But ! am convinced
that as our colts are managed, il VIC had any
other breed, we should soon make it ap-
pear to be as mean as our own, If not worse
The abusing of colts in the first winter, i:
1hc pf'hGlpal cause or their proving SO pau
For our farmers seldom allow their weanet
colts any food besides hay, and that is no
always of the best kind. SO that they sell
dom fail of being stnted in their growth, il
She first winter to such degree, that they
never get the better of it. A colt that j.
toaled late, should not be weaned till Feb
ruary or March, and should have oats during
1he whole of the winter. In some countries
they allow young colt fifteen bushels. We
need not grudge to feed them with meal,
oats and bran, besides the best of clover hay,
for they will pay for it in their growth. At
ter the first winter, they will need no ex-
traordnary feeding till they are grown up,
Were the above directions observed, we
should soon see an improvement Of our breed
of horses. They would be capable Of doing
much greater service, and be likely to hold
out to greater age"

These people who so by fits and starts,
are generally better companions abroad than
at home. They vent all their spleen at
their families. One hour they are all good
ness and love; the next, they as inaccessible
as hedgehogs. "My DEAR" says the hus-
band, when the fits take him, "you have
an excellent dinner prepared. This leg OF
mutton and the sauce are most excellent.
He has a change Of plates, and takes oeet-
steak--"What in the name OF common sense
does the woman mean, suffering such STEAK
to come upon the table!' cries the husband
1t is as tough as soal leather--t is not ut tor
dogs. .My dear ] wish you would see the
dinner cooked and brought on in order
/ This is intolerable--l never saw so bad
dinner any where but at home" Poor We
man, she makes good apology-the fault
was in the beef, not in the cookery. But
the husband is in rage and will not be APP
peased. He goes by fits and starts. In five
minutes he tries a custard; and never was
better cookery than at this house. 1t is just
as the fit takes him.
A womanaforms an acquaintance with a
young man Of small fortune, but great merit
she esteems him-treats him with much
politeness and respect--he is, she really
thinks, worthy man--but she finally per-
ceives'he has an attachment for her daugh-
ter--Intolerable, what! he love my daughter
How does he expect to maintain her in suit,
able style, The man has not half the mer-
it he had-in her opinonlt wont do, she
goes by fits and starts. What respecta-
Bile character must this be.
But of all whimslca sort Of people, those
are most 50, who are Religious By fits and
stdrts.-They ltngthen their faces at church
draw down the corners Of their mouths
lift their eyebrows and scowl-The next
day they torment their families with ground
less complaints, fretting and ill-nature; pee
wish at home, and probably knayish abroad
