Wild EEOrsex.

Though in this country horses show lit
tie vesIiges of policy, yet in the deserts Of
Iartary and Sibere, when hunted by the
Iariars, they are seen to form kind of
community, set watches to proven, being
surprised, and have commanders who di.
rect and hasten their flight. In this coun-
try, where four or five horses travel in
line, the first always points his ears for
ward, and the las. points his backward,
while the intermediate ones aeem quite
careless in this respect; which seems
part Of policy to prevent surprise--as all
animals depend mos, on the ear to an
prise them Of the approach of danger, the
eye taking in only half the horizon at
once, and hn~ses possess great nicely OF
this sencr. There are some parts OF
horse which he cannot conveniently rub
when they itch, as about the shoulder,
which he cannot bite with his teeth, nor
scratch with his hind foot. When this
part itches, he goes 10 another horse, and
gently bites him in the part which he
wishes to be bitten, which is Immediately
done by his intelligent friend. once OBJ
served a young ioal thus bite its large
mother, who did not choose to drop the
grass she had in her mouth, and rubbed
her nose against the foal's neck instead
of biting it; which evinces that she knew
the design OF her progeny, and was not
governed by necessary instinct to bite
where she was bitten. Many OF our
shrubs, which would otherwise afford an
agreeable food TO horses, are armed with
ihGrns and prickles, which secure Thorn
rom ihOse animals---as the holly, haw.
thorn, gooseberry, gorse. In the extern
slve moorands Of Staaorlshirc, the hor-
ses have learned TO stamp upon gefse-
bush with one Of their forc-leet for a min

THE PEASANTS SLEEP.

Sweet is the peasants sleep!
Sweet, if by toll he earn his bread;
He tnows not half the care and dread
Which agitate the rich mans mind,
Aud make him watch and weep;
But casting sorrow to the wind,
Sweet is the peasants sleep!
Refreshing are his dreams
No tantalzing scenes of wealth,
Mock him; possessed of ease and health,
He fears not murder, storms nor fire,
The rich mans nightly themes;
But innocence and peace inspire
His light and pleasant dreams
And when the cheerful morn
The wstchful cock procaims aloud,
Light fly his sIumhers, as a cloud,
Reflected by the MONDAY sun,
On wings of light is borne;
No headache wells, in mantle dun,
The peasants happy morn.
Goddess of sweet repose!
When toll invites my limbs to rest,
With thy warm pinons shield my breast,
Breathe thro' my lips thy kindest dreams
My willing cyc-lds close.
And as the peasants sluhber seems.
BE such my sound repose.

COL. IL. M. JOHNSON.

Speaking OF The late election in this State the
Globe Of the l7th says:
We attribute this glorious triumph 10 Kentucky
Tor a. ~ the greatest triumph TO extingush the
cen1eDcy OF our opponents in that State--to the
growing feeling, IN state essentially Republican, to

der and staiesman-Colonel Johnson. The hearts OF

The Globe might have went further with
truth. and attributed the overthrow of whiggery
Ia the whole of the Great West TO the power OF
Col. yohnson's name. The West is tired of
mere politicians, aud desirons to elevate to the
Presidency man fresh from the peopie-one
