HEATHEN CHILDREN.

During the late unusual religious attention
in the Island of ,Cey1on, the wife of one. OF
the missionaries addressed a letter TO the
members of tile female boarding school at

They answered tt Gin. English) as follows
"Dear Madam-We beg leave to state
to YOU that we gladly receive the letter you
sent to us, and while we read it, one thing
especially gave US great pleasure, which IS
the prayer you offered for the unconrerted
persons, that they maynot be suddenly de.
stroyed. The church.mcmbers at this
PLACE not only rejoice much to see the things
happened. in these days, but also feel
desirous to love God more than formerly, to
love others, and to labour for their souls.
We praise the Lord as he is the author of
suchfeelings in us. Among those that feel
for their souls, some cheerfully say, that
they have greater happiness Of mind, and
others feel happy when they think that
they have given up themselves to the Lord !;
but from what they show by their conduct,
it appears that they don't know what true
happiness is. AS the Spirit of the Lord is
much needed to know the various kinds of
joys, we beg you to pray to God'morc and
more than youdid formerly. The church.
members intend to hold meetings every
Thursday evening"

the same lady, with translation by boy
Of one of the schools, in which the same
scholars agree to set apart an hour on three

for us and our friends to go together to
the heavenly city, we are moved to entreat
you 10 help US more'-meaning by joining
in their prayers.

pleasing than the wicked and idolatrous
opinions in which these children would have
been. educated, if it had not been for the

Mr.. Editor.-I herein send you re.
ceipt for curing the cholic in horses. II
you think it worthy place in your journal,
you will perhaps confer service on some
of your readers, by giving it publicity
A few weeks ago, | was travelling into
the country. Before / had progressed
many miles, my horse showed evidently
that he was labouring under cholic.. He
became quite loose in the bowels, swelled.
and was in great agony. Fortunately
met with a WAGNER, whose kindness re-
leyed MY beast from his illness, and myself
from, perhaps, long walk. His remedy
consisted in tying upon the horses bit, q
piece Of tobacco. This being done, he
told me l could proceed upon my journey ;
assured me, that the horse would get well
before got one mile, and that he ''nuld
not be tsoubled again, while the TOBACCO
remained on the bit. I did as he directed
and to my perfect astonishment, my horse
became relieved as soon as he swallowed
the saliva created from the tobacco.
lam. yours, Mr.. Editor,
/. B. S.
We think our correspondent must be
somewhat mistaken, as to the effects Of the
tobacco. We are of opinion, that the
tobacco used upon the bit, is q preventive
Of cholic, in its incipient state; but once
the cholc has been violent upon the animal
we arc confident, that moro active remedy
must be used. In violent stages of cholic,
we have seen tobacco tea given with ex-
cellent effect.
We have heard of many receipts for this
disease, with which horses arc so frequently
plagued; but we venture to assert, that
none will be found more simple and sure,
than the following.
Take Of laudanum 6 or Z table spoons
full-of mustard the larger portion of q
bottle-mix these in a pint of whiskey, or
water, and give the mixture in horn OF
bottle to the horse. We have seen this
dose applied to horses which were SO tar
gone with cholc, as TO be perfectly cold and
stiff. In one instance, when the horse
could not swallow, the mixture was ad.
ministcred with aninjection pipe, and the
horse recovered in an hour afterwards.

Baron as her husband, has the greatest
influence over her. While the Physician

SIR TnoMAs PIcToN.-The follow.
inc anecdote is related of this celebrated
officer:
During the Peninsnlar war, when pro-
visions were rather difficult to be obtained,
young and dandi6ed commissary had
been instructed to supply the rations fo'
the third division at given place, by q
certain time; but by some mismanagemen
this officer forgot to fulfil his engagement
and the division was in consequence, lei
to its own resources, which were bad e
nough. A report of his neglect wa:
brought to General Picton, and be forth
with sent for the commissary. "Well sir
commenced Picton as he came il
where are the rations for my. division!
This being the very question that the
! commissary was not prepared to answer
he hesitated for short time, and ther
stammered cut some well worn excuse
Picton was not however, to be cajoiee
by excuses, while his men were kept with
empty stomachs; he led the alarmed com
missary to the door, aud pointing said
"Do you see that tree :" "Yes, sir" was
the reply. "WeIl, now" continued Pic
ton, .'if you don't get the rations for my
division at the place mentioned by Il
o'clock, to morrow, l will hang you uF
there at half past" He was then relcas
ed; when he proceeded forthwith to th'
Lord Wellington, and told him. with III
appearance Of injured dignity, of Gen
Picton's threat but the commissary wa'
dreadfully alarmed, when his LordshiI
cody remarked, "Ah he said he'd hang
YOU; did he he?'-"Yes, my Lord" "Wel
lifGeneral Picton said SO, | dare say hs
will keep his word, You'd better get tho
rations up in time" Further advice was
unnecesary,-,he rations were thereto TIT
