Youth is the time of sunshine and of sm es,

Hewufs Pupils,
Verify, my little singing birds, | say nay. Make
the most and the best of it; we like music, and
the music of song above all other music, and your
grateful, innocent, and reviving pastoral music il

for

With their sunniness, and cloudincss,
And rare delights Of rain"
And you have required, Mr.. Editor the UNDER
signed to say word in behalf Of the "ttIe ones"
and of their concert last Wednesday evening,
which is 10 be repeated tonight. If resolution
had been offered to the crowded auditory at the
last exhibition, that the performances of the little
girls, as well as the little girls themselves, were
very charming, we are quite certain it would
have passed like any proposition of O'Connell TO
the Irish Repealers--that is to say, il would have
been adopted by acclamation. The undersigned
cheerfully assents to the proposition. The exhi-
btion, to him, was a rational and gratifying en-
misunderstanding and delightful withal.
All such exhibitions, calculated to improve the
taste. the mind, and the heart of that class of our
fellow. citizens designated by our frontier preach
ers g the rising generation" meet with our cor
dial concurrence and cooperation. And we have
an Interior motive in this word of commentator
of Mr.. Hewitt and his pupils-no doubt the read
err has suspected it. 1t is this-a motive to en-
courage the efforts of professor (and all profess
sors) engaged in preparing the rising youth Of
our country for the intellectual and refined inter-
course of civilized society-a motive to do some
thing for the common good-a motive to appeal
to our identity as citizen by our identity of in
terest with the dearest social considerations of
our fellow citizens. That's all.
We love order, and music, and old ladies', and
little girls; and we like to see the dear old ladies'
enjoying their social speculatons over cup Of
Young Hyson, and the little girls, all
g Attired in spotess white"
and drawn up like May day b ody guard around
their tutor, singing away like robins in a

compliment to the " little ones' of many young

To PREVENT HORSES FROM JUMPING

tiles was recommended as great jump

the business myself, but for time

head to his re-foot, but that made no
dference-ov he went. put wood
en- clog on his fore-foot as large as
mans leg, but he carried that over the
high fence with him I'hOppied' him,
fastening his fore and hind foot within
two feet Of each other; but was very
much surprised to find him, all chained
as before, on the other side of the fence;
and it was not till several repetitions of
the experiment, that saw how he did it
which was by drawing his two chained
feet closely to his body and throwing him
self over with the other two. And when
he CHANGED to be free from restraint, it
was very often hard to tell where he
might be found, as he would soon pass
half dozen high fences to reach some
favorite field To try to catch him, was
very much like the boys trying to catch
the hawk, he said he "did not expect
to get him, but thought he might at least
e0Orry him"
But | have found a simple and efficient
remedy. Pass a small and strong cord
round his body just behind the shoulders,
and tie the halter to this cord between
the fore legs, so as to lave distance of
about two feet from the cord to his head.
If then he undertakes to jump, he is COM
PEELED to throw his head forward, which
draws hard on the small cord, causing it
10 cut into his back, and he instantly de-
3ists. The cord should not be more than
4 quarter Of an inch in diameter.

The formation Of Farmers Clubs, we

becoming common in England and Scot
land, and several have already been for
med in this country. The meetings are
held periodically weekly, semi monthly ,
or monthly, as suits the convenience of
the members. Subjects of practical
nature are given ont at these meetings,
and each member gives his views in re-
gard to them. Questions touching the
relative value Of different crops for diff
erent soils or locations - the relative pro-
fits of different animals the soil, and
mode Of cultivation best adapted to diff
erent crops, are here discussed, and the
experience and practice of each one
is made known. BY comparison of the
theories and practices thus brought for

and reasonable, can hardly fail of being
