HoRsEs. The two following items viii
be considered as worth the subscription
price of this paper, by persons who have
much do with, and a proper feeling Tor
horses. -
LoRETTo, Va. Oct. 81, 1877.
Dear Sir-The following extracts from
a very popular scientific work now publish
ing in England, and called "The Library
of Useful Knowledge" will save, hope,
many poor horse from much suffering
and injury. With this view take the llb-
erty to offer them for publication IN your
uselal paper. Yours, with regard,
JAMES NJ. GARNETT.
Speaking of the eye-lids of birds, the
writer remarks A third eye-lid of the
same kind is found in the horse, and called
the haav it is moistened with q PUPPY sub
stance, (o1 mucilage) to take hold OF the
dust on the eye-ball, and wipe it clean Oil,
so that the eye is hardly ever seen with
any thing upon it, though greatly exposed
from its size and posture. The swift mo-
ton of the haw is given to it by grIstle,
so as to drive out the haw with great yeloc-
ity over the eye, and let it come back as
quickly. Ignorant persons, when this haW
4 is inaamed from cold and swells SO as TO
appear, which it never does in healthy
! state, often mistake it for an imperiection,
and cut it off: so nearly does ignorance
produce the same mischief as cruelty
They might as well cut out the pupil OF the
eve, taking it for a black spot"
! The other extract relates tothe horses
hoof, and is as follows -" The bones OF
the foot are not placed directly under the
weight; if they were in an uplght posi-
ton, they would make a firm pillar, and
every motion would cause shock. They
are placed slanting, or obliqte, and tied
together by an elastic bindingon their low
er surfaces, so as to form sprngs as exact
as those which we make of leather or steel
for carriages. Then the fairness of the
hoof, which stretches out on each side, and
the frog coming down in the middle be-
tween the quarters, adds greatly to the
elasticity of the machine. Ignorant of this,
i'll informed farriers nail the shoe too far
back, fixing the quarters, and causing per
manent contraction-so that the contracted
hoof loses its elasticity; every step is a
shock inflammation and lameaess ensue.'

great reluctance; and, after suffering hunger
for three days, he with difficulty made his
1sscane As soon as he was out of danger,
he took farewell view of the garden, the
scene of his delight and trouble, and thus
addressed it: "Garden! garden thou
art indeed charming and delightful; thy
fruits are delicious and exquisite but oil
what benefit art thou to me? What nave
now for all nv labor and cunning Am
not as lean as was before I"
1t is even so with man. Naked comes
he into the world-naked must he go out
of it; and of all his tolls and labor, he can
carry nothing with him save the fruits OF
his righteousness.

CoUNSELs.

BY BERNARD BARTON, ESQ.
Though bright thy morn of life may seem,
Remember clouds may rise;
And trust not to the transient CLEAN
OF calm and smiling skies
So tread life's path, in sunshine drest,
With lowly cautious fear;
That when griefs shadows DER it rest,
It's memory may be dear.
If dark life's matin hours may be,
Despond not at their gloom
joys cloudless sun may rise for thee,
And Hopes bright fow'rets bloom.
So trace thy pathway thorn-bestrew'd,
That thou, in happier hours,
With pure and pangless gratitude
May'st bless its fragrant flowers.
Through cloud and sunshine, flower and thorn
Pursue thy even way,
Nor let thy better hopes be born
Ofthings that must decay.
Rejoice with trembling, mourn with hope,
Take life as life was given;
Its rough ascent, its iowery slope,
May lead alike to heaven

hablted by the Turks and Christians
Ihose on the European side most attracted
my attention. Booyookdereh, which is
Two hours and forty minutes from Constan-
tinople, is one of the most beautiful. Here
reside most of the foreign ambassadors.
AT Therapla, where the French ambassa-
dor resides, were pointed out to me the
beautiful seats of the celebrated Ipsilanti
and Mavrocol DAFT.
The fine pure air which filed the sails
OF merchant ships passing up and down
the channels boats rowing in different d.
rections; fioeks of birds resting on the
waters, or skimming along the surface
hills interspersed with villages and gar
dens; country seats of the rich, with the
more splendid palaces of sutans and sui
tanas; formed scene truly beautiful
The pleasure of contemplating it was
however, now and then interrupted by see
ing the dead body Of JAM airy floating
along, which reminded me OF the iniatuat-
ed capital, where arrived by the help OF
the oaI and the strong current, in one hour
and half from Booycokdereh.
RETURN TO SMYRNA. From Constan-
tinople l,took passage on board an English
merchant ship for Smyrna. left the city
vi 'Uhiuspl, plague, and death, without Il
single regret. 1t was half past 5, P. NJ.
when we got under weigh, and fair strong
breeze, together with the current, carried
us swiftly down the sea of Marmora. Thus
happily, said l, when death comes, may
be waited from this world. which seems so
beautiful, but which is the residence of sin
and sorrqw. After passing the Seven
Towers, ! sat down On the stern of the
ship, rejecting on the changes of fifteen
hundred years; and watching the city of
Constantine the Great, till darkness began
to hover oyer it, and could only discern
family some of the loftiest domes and min
arets, like a few of the deeds of anIent
times which remain in history, while rnulti-
tudes of less note are lost in oblivion
