DEAR S1R-There are few sailors who
are Judges of horse fesh," and l make
no pretensions to that sort of knowledge.
am going however, to relate what |
have seen; if it is worth knowing, it is
well; if not, it is the easiest thing in the
world to throw this in the fire
Some time ago l bought very good
horse at the bazaar, for which paid nine
hundred piastres, or fifty dollars Some
thought he was dear at that price, as you
may for FIVE or six hundred piastres, buy
here such horse as no gentleman need be
ashamed to mount; however, | was much
pleased with my bargain On my rcmov-
al from Buyurdine to this place, the horse
was rode very hard, and 'on his arrival at
Top Thana distance of fourteen or ff-
teen miles, was permitted to stand in a
cold rain two hours, without being rub
bed down or walked about; consequently
he became foundered in the right fore leg,
so that he could scarcely walk.
l sent for Turkish tarrer, the one
who attends the sultan's horses He i'm
mediatety pronounced the horse founder
ed, and said he must be bled in the inside
Of the diseased leg. He put nipper on
his nose to keep him steady, then took up
the left fore leg, and crossing it over the
right, gave it to an attendant; he then
struck his lancet into the vein little above
the fetlock joint, and took from it about
three and halfpounds of blood-the vein
bled very freel Y. He now said, he had
taken enough; he then went to the very
opposite side of the leg, and striking his
lancet into vein above the knee Joint,
single drop of blood exuded, and both that
and the first opened vein ceased bleeding.
There may be no novelty in this, bat it
certainly astonished me to find that open
ing two veins in the same limb would
stop both from bleeding such, however,
is the fact, for witnessed it.
He desired that the horse should rest
the next day, that he should then be rode
with great virulence until he was in
prCtuse perspiration, the diseased limb
then 70 be rubbed with wet salt, Ito which
added pint of hot brandy then rubbed
dry, and walked about until cool and COW
cred with blankets; the same process to be
! repeated next day, which was done, and
all Iameness from that time disappeared
the horse the third day after the first rub
blng was perfectly we'll.
REMEMBER1NG AND FORGETTING
The philosophy of memory, we leave
to other hands Some of its phenomena,
however, may be here stated Every
body knows that men remember some
things more readily than others. For in
stance,
|. They remember afronts and lnju-
rles received, while they soon forget mju-
ries done to others.
2. They remember debts due to them,
but they forget those they owe to other
persons.
3. They remember their good deeds,
while they forget their bad ones.
4. They remember the homage they
consider due to them from their interiors,
but forget that which they owe to their su
periors.
5, They remember what is connected
with their business, while they often COM
plain ola bad memory which forgets
sermon.
1t is probable that the art Of memory is
the art of attention, and that attention is
given to that in which we feel Interested:
If so, these facts Of remembering and for
getting give no very fatering testimony
to the moral principle of mankind In
truth they evince the deprayity Of the
heart.-Baptist Rep
