ERRORS IN THE TREATMENT OF
HORSES.

When a horse SHES or shears at some unaccus-
object (Which all young horses will dog
never speak sharply, nor, which is worse, strike
him, if you wish to avoid his starting the next
time he sees the same or any similar object. Al
most any horse may be brought to a considerable
habit of shying by such treatment. What should
be done, then? Check him to a walk, give him
time to see the object, and he will take little or
no notice of it..
If a horse stumbles or trips, it is a common
practice to strike him for il. This will not mend
his habits of tripping and stumbling, but will add
to them, if he has spirit, that of springing forward
with dangerous quickness whenever it occurs; as
he will expect the lash to follow as a matter OF
course. The remedy, if it can be called one, is to
keep an eye upon the road, and where, from
stones or unevenness, a falling is apprehended
tighten the reins and e%nliven the horse, but never
strike him after the accident.
As YOU would save the strength and wind OF
your horses, drive slow up hill, and rs you would
save his limbs and your own, drive slowly dowr
hill.
Never wash your horse with cold water wher
he is hot, or let him drink it freely in that state
If the water is quite warm, it will not hurt him.
Do not permit the smith, when he shoes you
horse to cut out any portion of the soft part, OF
what is called the frog of the toot-this is apt t.
gradually draw in the quarters of the hoof ant
cripple the anlmal-and is recommended only BY
the smooth appearance it gives to the bottom o
the foot, which is more apt TO catch n round stont
in the crook of the shoe than otherwise.
Do not feed with grain, especially corn, when
horse is warm, or very much f%atigued; if you do
you may founder and injure him.
If you want your horse to last: and carriage al
so, drive slowly.
The more kindness and good temper is extend
ed to a horse, the better will he behave in return
Bad temper and bad habits com generally fror
bad usage.-Farmer's Monthly Magazine.

1T is a dreadful night said Joseph Anderson,
to his. wife, as he shook the snow from his fishing
coat-Fit is II dreadful night, indeed
God have mercy on the poor sailors, and save
them said his wife, wiping ii tear from her eye
with the corner Of her apron. Oh! that my poor

"A men, said the young girl, laying aside her
bonnet and cloak, which were wet with sleet and

burn hair, displayed a face of loneliness. AS she

only tree which shaded it, in pieces.

1t is truly said that there is but one way to re-
form men, and that is to render them happier. 1t
is good and easy to enfeeble vice, by bringing them
nearer to each other, and thus rendering them
more happy. All the sciences, indeed, are still in
a happy state of infancy; but that ofrendering men
happy has scarce seen the light yet, even in Chris
tendom.

ed, at the top of their voices, in haw-hawing, and
shouting either praises or curses ofalcohol-it was
difficult to tell which, as they ratified away without
rhyme or reason. But the Col. saved his corn.-
As soon as they became sober, they set their faces
steadfastly aginst alcohol. Not another kernel
would they touch in his field, lest it should contain
the same thing, while they went and pulled up the
corn ofhis neighbors. They havetoo much respect
for their character, black as they are, again to be
found drunk.

Parting of the Faithful Mother.
BY MRS. %sIGoURNEY.
A solemn parting hour!
A mother, mid her children dear,
Is called to meet what mortals fear,-
The Spoilers power.
Faithful in duty's path,
Her calm and upright course she led;
Aud now, the stroke that worldlings dread,
Comes not in wrath.
Though earthly scenes are fair,
Warned from her most beloved employ,
10 enter to her Savior's joy,
Is terror there!
Can she reluctant be,
To quit this trembling tent of clay,
And, soaring to celestial day,
Heavens glory see?
No! In her uprais'd eye,
What grateful praise enraptured lives,
TO him, who to her warfare gives,
The victory.
Turning from all the charms
That here her pilgrimage beguil'd,
She meekly, like a wearied child,
Rests in his arms.
God would not bar too long
The gates of Paradise divine,
From one so well prepared to join
The angels song.

TuNE-From Greenland's Icy Mountain 5.
We ask not "martiaI glory"
Nor "battles bravely won;"
We tell no boast(ul story
To laud our "favorite SOM"
We do not seek to gather
From gIory's field of blood,
The %laurels of the warrior,
STEPPED in the crimson flood;
But we can boast that Birney
Holds not the tyrant's rod,
Nor binds in chains and letters,
The image of his God;
No %vassGI, at his bidding,
Is doomed the lash to feel;
No mental crouches near him,
No Chraley" at his heel.
His heart is free from murder.
His hand without its stain;
His head and heart united,
To loose the bonlman's chain;
His deeds, of noble daring,
Shall make the tyrant cover;
Oppression fees before him,
With all its boosted power.
Soon shall the voice of freedom,
O'er earth its echoes ROLL
And earth's rejoicing millions
Be free, from pole to pole:
Then rally round your leader,
Ye friends Of liberty,
And let the shout for Birney,
Ring out DER land and sea.

At the saving touch of Wing principles,
the evil spirit Of the government was ex-
terminated and by the powerful arm of
the united and patriotic Wing people, the
Government House at Washington was
swept and garnshed, and made ready to
receive the pure and excellent, and, we be-

But alas! within our own ranks,-yes
