For the Virginia Advocate.


MIR. PRINTEn-Iu reading, lately,
met with very interesting extract,
from an excellent work, published by
Mr.. Fleming in the 9Th century /;
which, | doubt not, will be as accepia-
BILE to some of your readers, as it
was to myself Mr.. Robert Bruce,
one Of the first Reformers, and most
eminent witnesses of pure, and e.
evangelical religion, in the church of
Scotland, happened to he present, on
the delivery of a sermon, by Mr.. An.
drew Blair, a young man OF great ia
Tents, who had lately entered on the
ministry. The preacher, finding that
the venerable Mr.. Bruce had been
present, desired to have the judgment
of so great man, on what had been
delivered. Truth, though courteous,
disdains to hatter, and deceive" |
found your sermon" said MIR. B. very
much polished, and digested" (which,
indeed was very easy to one of his
parts) but there is one thing, did
miss in it; the Spirit of God l found
not that" This censure was so bless
ed to Mr. Blair, that he said, he never
forgot it. He realised, that it was
something more to be minister Of Je-
sus Christ, than to be knowing and
eloquent preacher. Yrs. &c. ALIauIs.
l must add. though briefly, few
words respecting the peaceful and
blessed end of this holy man. The
morning before he died, his chief CON
plant being a weakness through the in
firmities of age, he came to breakfast
with his family. And having, as usu-
al, taken one egg. he said to his daugh-
ter, )" think ! am yet hungry, you may
bring me another" AS soon as he had
uttered these words, instantly falling
into deep meditation, alter having
unused awhile, he said, Hold, daugh
ter, hold: my master calls me-" With
these words his sight failed, whereupon
he called for the Bible. But finding
his sight gone, ne said, Find me the
eighth chapter to the Romans, and set
my finger on these words" am per-
suaded, that neither death, no, life, nor
angels. nor principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come,
nor height, nor depth, nor any other
creature, shall be able to separate us,
from the love Of God which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord" "Now," said he,
"is my finger upon them?" When
they told hin it was, 4" Now" said he,
"God be with you my children. have
breakfasted with you, and shall sup
with my Lord Jesus Christ this night"
Having said this, he instantly expired

The Farmers arithmetic shows that
the iarmer grows rich by saving, while
others continue poor by spending.

money to buy abroad? or measures his
wealth by comparing his money with
that OF others, who must give it all for
things which he has without buying?
Surely farmer may, without a sigh.

BOTS IN HORSES

a writer IN lne American Farmer
states the allowing as sure remedy
Tor the bots IN horses, and says ii was
practised by veterinary surgeon who
came to this country during the revo-
luton, with Baron Steuben First
drench the horse with quart of new
milk saturated with honey, molasses or
sugar, TO be preferred in the order in
which they are named leave him two
hours at rest; drench him again with
pint OF strong brine, previously made
by Gissulvlng IN boiling water as much
common salt as it VIII hold. aud leave
the h,rse undIsturbed two hours more.
Then administer halt pint Of linseed
oil, aud the treatment Is com oIete.
The rationale Of this course, accord
ing to the writer, Is as follows: Bots
destroy horses by feeding upon and
periorating the rnteguments of the
stomach but, preiering sweatened
milk to flesh diet, they leave the sub
stance of the stomach aud glut OK the
milk, OF which they partake SD much
that they are greatly dIstended, expos
ing thin skin to the action OF the brine
when administered, which easily de-
stroys them. Oil Is afterwards given
to heal the wounds I'D the stomach made
by the worms.
John HlGd in his Treatise on Far
rlery, a work which should be in the
hands Of every man who has the charge
vi horses attributed the generation OF
worms tolrregular feeding, aud TO feed
ing upon ind,gesllble substances, mus
" hay, grain, &c. and IN some aged
horses to imperfect mastication. These
produce indigestion, and ultimately
worms. Mr.. Kinds recommends, that
when it is certain the horse is attacke
by worms, the following bous or hall
be administered: Calomel, ID dracms
Annls seed s drachms, mISeo with trea
Gle into paste for two doses, to be
gwen on two successive nights, the
fist dose to be preceded by water Cruel
and the last Que followed the next day
by purgative compound of Barbados
aloes dracbms, Gamooge ] ! drachms,
prepared kali 2 dr.. ginger 1 DIR. oil o
amber teaspooDfui, syrup of buckhorn
sufficient to ioim the whole into bal
tor one dose. Should the horse be
weak y the first mixture may be divided
into three doses for as many successive
days, to be followed on the fourth
morning by the purgative. The horse
IN the mean willie should he fed with
fresh grass, cracked corn, mashed pc
tatoes or other food easily dlgestlble
accompanied occasionally with salt
As the disease is produced by impaired
digestive organs, it must be cured by
restoring TO those organs their healthluI
tone, towards which the medicines re-
commended have favourable tenden-
cy.

lleman spoken of i'll the above extract,
was an ardent: admirer of Napoleon,
and like many OF his coun,rymen was
eternalIy talking about that great war
rior. He was tailor, man of infinite
humpr, with powerful bass voice, and
would occasionally afford his friends
mucn amusement by his conversation.
He spoke the English language imper-
iectly, as many OF our cillzens will rec
oliect. He once made pair of pam
falcons Tor Mr.. Lamb, but forgetting
the name of his customer he went into
the market, and taking hold of leg OF
