RELIGION.-lIow bright ii shines upon
the path of affection and adversely. Its
power is not seen in the noisy ebulliiions
of heated spirits, in their extravagant ges-
lures, and loud hosannas! Nor is its worth,
its amazing worth to be seen in the pom
pous displays, and empty forms of many
of its protested votaries.
The power of religion is best seen in
quietly subduiGg the passions, controlling
the appetites, and keeping the spirit in the
midst Of temptation, and provoca;ion-
controlling and sustaining the whole man
in adversely, calamity and aflliction. This
holy power keeps man calm under pro.
neutrality-suspicious. murmuril g in adverse.

and however the storm may re without,
to all within, it says, peace, be STILL
Of what inestimable worth is such re-
ligion, to man, in this state of trial, toll,
suffering and death! Having this, heaven
shines on all his path. Comforts, pure
as the throne of God, pour into his heart,
and hope all immortal animates his bo-
som. Oh! sweet, rich boon of heaven!
When will men cease to neglect the inn
mortal substance, for vain and empty sha-
dows! Palladium.

BREAK YOUR HoRsEs TO WORK WITHOUT
BLISDERs.- We have always thought the
/" binders" or eye>winkers" on our
harm sses which We work our horses in,
were not only useless appendage bur Of
,entimes Injurious. We consider them
useless. because We canno, think or see
any good they do. We never heard but
one reason for using ten, and that was
given BY stage driver. and that was the
following: "rhat off Till horse. YOU see,
is lazy dog, andneeds ,l,e string pref.
" often. lis mate is more fiee--now if
he could see me when 60 to strike his
mate. he would .pring and take the while
load, and The off one would shirk nut Just
the same" There is some reason in thai,
TO be sure. We can't AWAY have rises
matched equally in teams, either as it re-
CARDS temper or strength, and. Of course,
once in while. it may work well 10 hide
free horses eyes from the evil that's de.
scending in the form Of an angry drivers
lash; but, as an Offset 10 this, the lazy
horse will also see the blow coming, ard
probably will spring on, Of the way too,
as well as the ",her, so that the pow er
will be as equally applied BY them both.
We think that manv horses ale disposed
TO "shy" more. as i. is called. when their
eyes are partially covered By blinders than
when not. Horses may be trained 10
work without them, and colts should BY
all means, be laugh, to do il. We think
horses appear much better without than
with them. especially if they have good
eye naturally. Maine Farmer.

Motives 10 Gfatitudr.-Man so fearfulIy
and so wonderfully made, was not left UNI
protected and unprovided for, an outcast
on the earth. On the contrary, by day and
by night alike, an eye has watched for his
happiness that never slumbers; an arm
has been stretched out for his defence that
never tires. II is that arm that sustains
him during The helplessness of childhood
that shields him amidthe perils of youth,
and props his.infeebled constitution'when
sinking beneath infrmities OF age. TO
none are mercies conveyed by accident.
II was God that kindled the sun that lights
the laborer by day, and planted those stars
tliat guide the wanderer by night. His are
those showers that bring forward the har-
vest, and his those dews that ripen the
vintage. The good and the bad alike ex-
perience his care and subsist upon his
bounty. Not even the variest wretch de-
mics that God has fed and clothed him
that he has nourished and brought him up.
And are there no motives in these con-
siderations to induce rebellious man to re-
turn TO his allegiance! Is GOD, then, a
friend that may be forgotten, His mercies,
too, deserve they no requital! All shall
this earth Of ours be cursed for ever with
the crime of Geld ingratimde! and yonder
Heavens, which have witnessed Gods
goodness, always hear him say, in refe-
renee to the race and thesabode of man
"There, in that ungrateful world, ] have
nourished and brought up children and
tey have rebelled against me-"
A Word insscasoA.-One day as Felix
Neff was walking in the city of Lau-

he took for one of his friends. He ran
up behind him, tapped him on the Shout
der, and asked him, b" uhat is the state of
your so"l. my friend?" The stranger
turned: Nef perceived his error, apologize
ed, and went his way. About three or
four years afterwards, person came to
Nef and acccsted him, saving he was in
debted to him for his inestinable kindness.
Nef' did not recognize the man, and beg
ged he would explain. The stranger re-
piled: "Haye you forgotten an unknown
person whose shoulder you touched in
street in Lausanne, and asked him, How
do you find your soul' Ii was |; your
question led to serious reflections. and
nom ! find it is mtH ,cith my soul"

Are you in good health! YES" And

and we may as well be plain-you are
too lazy to work. Don't get angry, for
we are telling you the truth. If you wiN
