The author of the " Curtain Lectures"--
of which we have republished one or two
is dead. His name was Laman Blanchard,
and his contributions to the London Punch
were among the best articles in that paper.
The Curtain Lectures" were written
willis, his wife was lying at the point of death,
and his heart was filled with af1 ction. So
it is The reader who laughs over the sal
lies of wit, little dreams that what excites
his mirth is often wrung from brain afflct-
ed with despair. Blanchard was of most
amiable and free spositon, remarkable for
his social qualities, his companionable spirit,
and great neainess of dress And yet with
all these he was unhappy, and in fit of de-
liriun committed suicide by cutting his throat.

ITO worth he would give honor,
He'd dry the mourner's tears,
And to the pald lip recall
The smile of happier years;
And friends that had been long estranged,
And hearts that had been cold,
Should meet again like parted streams,
And mingle as of old.
And thus he'd use the enchanter's power
To scatter bliss around,
And not a tear or aching heart,
Should in the world be found"

METHOD OF CURING OBSTINATE HoRsEs:-
A few days ago, as a carter was proceeding
in the York road, near Doncaster, with
load of stones, his horse made sudden
stop, and refused, even after an unmerc'fui
whipping to proceed. A gentleman told
the infatuated carter he must not beat HIM
any more. "What shall | do?' sad the
man, my horse has stood here upwards an
hour; shall stand here all day" On no,
the horse must 60, but you must not pear
him any more; get me rope twice as long
as the horse" The rope was obtained, Sc,
cured 10 the horses tail, and then passed
between the legs forwards, after which a
slight pull was given. The animal was
frightened and showed strong symptoms OF
kicking, but the pulling was contlnued.-
Suddenly he started forward and went OFT
without any more beating. The gentleman
said he had seen the same method tired,
with similar effect, on the most refractory
asses ever bred. If this fact is disputed by
those who have obstinate horses or asses, let
them try the experiment.
