From high to low, they are the same care
less, wclinformed, good hearted men-know-
ing how TO act better than they do. Nothing
at times, yet everything if occasion requires it,
we have seen one and the same individual of
the craft minister in Carolina, boatmGn on
he western canal, a sheriff in Ohio. a sailing
master on board privateer, a tidler in New
Orleans, dandy in Broadway, New York,
pressman in garret printing office!
Having nothing 10 lose, no calamity can over
whem them, and caring to gain nothing, no
tide Of fortune carries them upwards from the
level where they choose 10 stand, the least to
be envied, yet the happiest dogs in Christen-
dom. Philosophers by practice, and spend
thriNs by inclination. They complain not when
the stomach cries for bread and they have none
to give and in the next hour if fortune iayors
them With the means, GXpend more for unnc-
Cessary deiicacies than would serve to keep
them on wholesome food for whole week
SUBSTITUTE FOR STEAM ia Reform" an.
nounces that an operative al Ruel, near Paris,
has discovered new Substitute for steam. The
experiment is to be made in few days on the
Versailles railroad Figure to YOURSELF" says
the Reform, "an enormous double or drum
wheel, fve yards IN diameter, between the
.pokes Of which you can place horse with his
rider. This large wheel being attached to
four ordinary wheels placed on the rails Of a
road, il will merely be necessary to turn the
large wheel to make the carriage advance. But
what motive force does the inventor employ q!
It is the horse placed in the interior of the wheel,
and yoked by means of two bars Of iron placed
perpendicularly under the axle. The horse
by drawing, causes the wheel 10 turn, in the
came manner as mouse or a squirrel wheel,
il has been found necessary to dig an excavation
near the stationhorse, into which the horse is
let down. The inventor states that he can mo-
dify his wheel so as TO admit three horses, and
that, in such case, the heaviest train msy be
propelled along railroad with n velocity even
more rapid than that caused by steam"
METHOD OF CURING OBSTINATE lloRsEs.-
few days ago, as a carter was proceeding on
the York road, near Doncaster, with load OF
stones, his horse made sudden stop, and refu.
sed, even after an unmerciful whipping to pro.
ced. A gentleman told the inluriated carter
he must not beat him any more. "What shal
do :" said the man, "my horse has stood here
upwards OF an hour; shall stand here all day.
"Oh no. the horse must 90, but you must no
beat him any more. Get me a rope twice a.
long as the horse. The rope was obtained, Sc
cured to the horses tail, and then passed be
tween the legs forward, after which slight pul
was given. The animal then became iriqhten
cd, and showed strong .ymP,oms Of kicking
out tho pulling was continued suddenly b,
started forward, and went off without any NOR,
beating. The gentleman said he had seen rh,
same method tried, with similar effect, on TN
most refractory donkeys ever bred, II this fac
Is disputed by those who have obstinate horse
and asses, lie, them try the experiment.
