DOCkING HORSES.

We are sorry to perceive that the barbarous,
cruel aud inhuman practice of docking and nick
ing horses is again beginning TO be looked upon
with favor alter some years of merited disuse.
We wish TO enter n decided protest against the
sys.em as injurious to the horse and offensive 10
good taste. A handsome flowing name and tail
constitute the most graceful and useful appendix
yes to this noble animal, and are essential TO his
strength and comfort. None but o narrow mind
ed ignorant man, would have in the brst place
ventured on such violation of vested rights and
none but blockheads or Jockeys, destitute OF the
better human feelings, could have perperated or
tolerated the innovation. We are not i'll the habit
of INDUCING in unkind feelings against ouT fellow
men, however useless or ridiculous their conduct
may be, but when we have seen a locked horse
turned out to grass, and obliged, between every
mouthiul of food, to employ, at least as rnueh
time in biting off fes he uses in eating,
loss of time and labor that tail, in its natural
sta,e, would have entirely prevented, we have
almost wished that the perpetraor OF the outrage,
in state of nudity and bis hands tied, could lie
placed in some of our swamps, for half an hour
in order realize the pleasure AN unprotected
animal must experience when exposed TO the as

an English gentlemen had a fine hunting horse,
that would carry his rider over five barred gate

the result was that when he got well, he could
scarcely carry him ovey two bars. "Tbus, said
he 81 spoiled good horse, and no wonder; for
the operation weakened his oins, result that
might have been reasonably expected from the
severIng of two such muscles"
| Race horses, we believe, are never locked or

and that too where nature placed them. The

prevent that of sthe carriage or farm horse.

the greater beauty of the animal. Let who will

DUTIES OLE PARENTS.

Why nre cases so frequent in which the chill
dren Of virtuous parents grow up vicious anu
abandoned? There are many nice and delicate
adjustments necessary to secure The highest and
best results in the education of a child, but the
principles necessary for toerable success must be
few aud simple. There are two, which we wish
we had voice loud enough to thunder in the ears
Of every parent in the country the breach of one
or the oher OF which will explain almost every
case of gross failure on the part of virtuous pa
rents which we have ever known. They are these:
l. Keep your children from bad company.
2. Make them obey you.
Habits of INSTRUMENTATION at home, and the COM
pany of bad boys abroad are the two great sour
ces of evil, which undo so much of what moral
and religious instruction might otherwise effect.
What folly TO think that boy can play with the
protane impure, passionate boys, who herd IN the
streets six days in the week, and have all the stains
wiped away by being compelled to learn has sun
day school lesson on the seventh or that children
who make the kitchen or the nursery scenes oil
riot or noise, from the age of three to eight years
will be prepared for any thing in after le but tc
carry the spirit of INSTRUMENTATION and riot wher-
ever they may 20. No! children must be taker
care of. They must he governed at home, anC
kept from communicating influences abroad,or they
are ruined. II parents usk, how shall we make
our children obey? We answer, in the easies
and pleasantest way you can, but at all events
make them obey. If you ask, how shall we keel
our boys from bad company? We answer, TOO
in the easiest and peasantest way you possibly
can but at all events, if in the city, keep them on
of the Streets and wherever you are, keep then
from lad company. The alternative, it seems Il
us, is as clear and decided as any which circum
stances ever made up for man; you must govern
your children, and keep them away from the con
tamnation of vice, or you must expect to spen
your old age in mourning over the ruins of you
