"THE LADY's MUSICAL LrBRARY"is published
at the surprisingly low price of So per annurn.
BY glance at the foregoing list will be seen
that those who subscribe to the Library obtain
their music at less than one twelfth of what they
would have TO pay in any other way. This diff
ference in cost, always important, is Just now
especially so, the state Of the times will not ad
NIT Of extravagance IN any thing. Thirty dollars
in year is no trihing saving in single article Of
consumption; and at least that and far more than
that will I've saved to those who use music, and
who take the Library instead of purchasing single
pieces at the music stores.
The Lady's Musical Library is not publ ca
| ton issued by incompetent or inexperienced per-
sons, who promise what they have not the ability
| to perform. 1t is edited and arranged by Charles
| Jarvis, Professor of Music, a well-known and
| highly esteemed teacher Of Phade lphia, whose
skill and taste arc both cknoNlcdGed and extol-
Iced ~ his roles, ional brethren. Besides his
own services, Mr.. Jarvis has secured the aid of
many ofthe mos, eminent composers, who fur
nish for the Library their choicest productions;
and through musical friends across the Atlantic,
| he is enabled to procure the best issues of Lon
don and Paris Immediately after their appearance
in those capitals. With these advantages, the
publishers have succeeded in giving to the Ii
brary character Of originality, freshness, and
excellence, which has won for 1t the universal
|
ted, and secured for it permanent and most res
pectable patronage. In all the large cities it Is
introduced into families Of the highest reputation
for musical attainments, and eagerly sought for
by all class es; aud Of dtrs constantly received
from all parts Of the country. As it is perlod-
cal (having been so pronounced by the Postmas-
| ter GeneraD it can be sent through the mails at
| the ordinary rates Of postage; and in this way
persons in remote parts Of the country can be
| supplied with music almost Al early as it can be
procured by the residents of the Atlantic cities.

Sailing HoRsEs.-A curious fact is
mentioned in Palker's Treaties on Salt:
"A person, who kept sixteen farming hor-
SEES, made the following experiment with
seven of them which had been accustom-
ed to take salt with their food. Lumps OF
rock salt were laiu in their managers, and
these Jumps, previously weighed, were ex-
amined weekly, to ascertain what quantl-
ly had been consumed, and it was re-
pea,edly found that whenever these hor-
SEES were fed on old hay and corn, they
consumed only from 2 l-2 to OF. per
day, but that when they were fed with
new hay, they took 6 OF. per day" This
should convince us of the expedlency of
permitting our cattle the free use of salt
at all times, and it cannot be given in so
convenient a form as rock salt, in being
much more palatable than the article in Il
refined state, and by la cheaper. A good
lump should always be kept in box by
The side of every animal, without fear thai
it will ever he taken in excess.
