MISCELLANEOUS.

Shakespeare Horse Jockg.-An ac- qualntance or ours {says the N. Y. Even lng post,) inquiring the other day, of per- son somewhat noted for his perfect know ledge of whatever appertains to the Turf, what book he could refer him to for such concise and accurate description of the points and qualities of horse as might serve to guide him in the selection of good one, we were not little surprised to near tic latter answer, Shakespeare. Uni Yersai and various as are the topics which his pen has adorned and illustrated, one would hardly suppose that he could turn to his works as to Turf Register, or Sport ing Dictionary, for information of the kind sought by the individual alluded to. Yet 1t is quite true that he can find passage of a few lines in Shakespeare which serves his purpose as well as . much moro extended and elaborate description in books written exclusively on the subject. Ill the volume of the Library of Useful Knowledge deyot- ed to Treatise on the Horse, several pa- ges are taken up with dissertation or the points and qualities which distinguish the best specimens of that noble aninial.- In Shakespeare, the same information is conveyed in the compass of dozen lines. For example, what better svade mecum" could Il person wishing to purchase a steed desire, than the following stanza:
 Round hoofd, short jointed ,fetlocksshag
 and long,
 Broad breast full eyes, small head ,and nos-
 trils wide,
 High crest, short ears, strait legs, and
 passing strong,
 Thin mane, thick tail, broad buttook, ten-
 der hide,
 Look what horse should have, he did not
 lack,
 Save proud rider on so proud a back. This IS description of horse at rest, but let us mount s'proud rider'' upon him, and see whether his action equal his beauty: His ears arc prick'd; his braided hang
 is.g mane,
 Upon his compassed crest, now stands on
 end;
 His nostrils drink the air, ard forth a
 gain,
 As from furpace, yapors doth he send; His eye, which scornfully glistens like
 ire,
 Shows his hot courage
 Sometimes he trots, as If he told the
 steps,
 With gentle majesty, and modest pride; Anon he rears and bounds, curvets and
 leaps,
 As we should say, To! thus my strength is
 trled.
 The whole passage from which we take these fragments Is a remarkably spirited, nj the same time, accurate description of a fine, proud, full blooded horse; and we re- commend to such of our readers as are connoisseurs of that animal, to turn to it at once.

PARTING OF THREE FRIENDS,


 When shall we three meet again! When shall we three meet again Oft shall glowing hope expire, oft shall wearIed love retire, Dn shall ] aca.!i l. ss..ssa! s.ss4a~ reign, Ere we three shall meet again. Though in distant lands we sigh, Parch'd beneath burning sky, Though the deep between us rolls, Friendship shali unite our souls; A nd n fancy 5 wite domain, Oft shall we three meet again. When our furnished locks are gray, Tfinn'd by many toil spent day, When around this youthful pine, Moss shall creep and ivy twine, Long may this loved bower remain Ere we three shall meet again. When the dream of life is fled, When ;.s wasted lamps are dead, When in cold ohlivion's shade iieauty, fame and wealth are laid, Where immortal spirits reign, There may we three meet again MEETING or THREE FRIENDS. Parted many toll spent year, Pledged in youth to memory dear, S.il! to friendships magnet true, We our social joys renew:
 Bound by Ioye's unseger'd chain, Here on earth we meet again. But our bower sunk by decay, Wasting time has swept away, And the youthful evergreen, Lopp'd by death, no more is seen; Bleak the winds sweep o'er the plain Where in age we meet again. Many a friend we us'd to greet, Here on earth no more we meet; Oft the funeral knell has rung, Many a heart has sorrow st.ng, Since we parted on the plain, Fearhl ne'er to meet again. Worn by toil, and sunk with years, Soon we'll quit this vale of tears, Aud these hoary locks be laid Low ssin cold oblyion's shade;' But where saints and angels reign, There we nope to meet again.

in the opposition school long enough to
that their pretensions far trans
Ice nd their practice that liberal course
which judges every measure proposed by
its own intrinsic merits, without regard
TO the party which supports or opposes
il, is the chart by which the legislator
ou ght to direct his course-it will salts
fy his oath of office, it will give peace
10 his conscience--it will elevate his
character, and in nine times out of ten,
rebound to the good of his country. Mr..
Pearce is a Newport man-born in the
county of Newport-attached to the In

how was that feeling manifested The

THE WIFE.

The young men Of boston have recelt

perance. Mr.. BARBouRmade some pr
t,nent remarks, from which we extrc
the following characteristic anecdote.
"Mr. b. mentioned the case Of "A vo

Just within the door. II seemed she I'D

a pillow under his head. "She could'}

and the children" So it often is, sal
Mr.. b. /" the wife will be the wife, thoug
the husband be the brute"
And yet the wretch thus housed an
thus pillowed, will, perhaps, as soon 9
the personal inconveniences of his de
bauch have passed away, commenI'
anew the sacrifice Of character aIs
happiness, and if not so unbeasl,
drunk as require wife's aid to find ~

The election Of this distinguished gen.
tlsman to the senate Of tho United States
must be quite gratifying to the faith
ful and fearless" Few there are, who.
occupying so high station a. MI. Pot
ter, would have dared in the very face
and eyes of bigotry and hypocrisy, to
have given u.terance to the sentiment in
General Assembly at its late session. re-
lasive to "ths section Of the act sub
jecting sturdy 6eggars to be treated as
vagrants."
Mr.. Potter "was in favour Of the act, as
it might SUBJECT to punishment, those sturdy
6eggars, who as missionary preachers were
in the habit of visiting evory part Of the
State and flching from the industry Of the
people the fruits Of their labours."
Now this is the very man whom the peo-
pie want in the councils of the nation by
the side Of RICHARD M. JOHNSON
to stem the tide of missionary evils
These moral pestilences cover the earth
with sores wherever il is polluted by
their presence. But although daily expe-
rience proves that Missionaries are the
most detestable Of sturdy beggars, and
nothing behind the mendicsnt saints Of
Catholic countries, we would not like to
see the evil corrected by punishment--
but rather by education and enlightsn-
ment of the ignorant. Missionary abom-
nations can only take root and find nou-
rishment in barren and uncultivated soil
from such soil saintsd p!underers
reap rich harvest. and so long az a
credulous people continue to reward
sancti6sd beggars, SO long do such peo-
pie offer premiums for fanaticism and
hypocrisy. 1t is much easier for the
henriless to preach for hire than to pur-
sue any other calling for a living. But
this state Of things is now quite fashion
able.
