SYMPATHY OF BIRDS.

A gentleman Of orr acquaintance. a
week or two since, remarked m unusual
collecting of brown thrush in thicket con-
tieuous 10 his residence. Ills attention
having been drawn towards them for sew
eral successive days. by their loud cries
and eccentric movements, ho was at length
induced 10 investigate moro closely the
cause Of this unwon,cd congress OF his
fea.hered cnnnts, and ascertain, ifposslble,
the cause Of their excitement. Upen cx-
aiming the thicket, he discovered f.
male thrush suspended by ono wing tot
limb. Nenr by was her nest, containing
several half grown birds.
From the attendant circumstances, he
concluded that the maternal bird must have
become entangled before the process Of IN
cubation was completed, and that some
kindly hearted ncighbor had supplied her
place in Matching and breeding her callow
offspring. He Withdrew few rods, and
the committee Of relief Immediately resum-
cd the sclf.imposed duty Of administering
ssaid aud comfort in the form Of worms md
other insects, alternating between the
mother and her young--she meanwhile
cheering them on in their labor OF love with
the peculiar note which first led to the dis
covsry Of her situation.
Having watched this exhibition Of chari-
~ fnr some half hour, our informnn t rclIsv-
cd the mother bird. She Immediately flew
to her nest, expressing her gratitude by
her sweetest notes. Her charitable friends,
their Occupation now being gone" (ns the
Police Reporter says) dispersed to their
respective places Of abode, singing ~ they
wont q song Of joy.
The above statement may be relied on
in every particular. The many pleasing
reflections which il suggests we leave 10 be
recorded by our friends abroad.

THE HORSE.

Twill state few things that have learn.
ed, and they may be Of benefit TO your ren-
dcrs. A horse that is driven on hard roads
is liable TO get stiff in the joints. In 1888
had an animal which, alter driving three
or four days, got quite lame. An old Bal
timore tcamster told me 10 wnsh the mare s
legs in tolcrably salt brine, which was done
accordingly, three times day, for the bal.
ancc Of the journey. Tho stiffness disap-
pearcd in few days, and ldrove the horse
l,4OO miles afterwards, aud there was no
more trouble ON that account. What most
pleased me was, the more had very bad
foot 10 hold shoe, when started. Il was
very brittle and hard. II would break out
when nail was put in. But il grew to-
ge,her nj every shooting. a blacksmith in
New England remarked to me that her
foot had singular appearance, where he
pared il was soft and tough. ] account
for il in this way. Salt will attract moist
urc from the atmosphere, which keeps tho
foot moist oil the time; and salt Inns near
" the sumo effect that grease has on a
floor or piece Of timber. The drippings
from salt on floor, if continued long, can
not be got Off; the wood becomes must md
tough, and so with horses foot. After
washing the legs, turn up the horses loot,
clean the bottom, pour the hollow full ol
brine aud hold for few minutes, 10 soal,
the bottom. The practice Of rsspiug the
foot all over TO tougher il, is nbominable.--

THE RIGHT VIEW,

, On the subject of the acquisition of terrific
ry by means of the Mexican war, the Boston
Atlas says
We hold that the only safe ground upon
which to stand, in regard to this question, is
that assumed by Mr. Berrien's amendment to
the Three MILLION Bill, namely "thut the war
with Mexico ought not to be prosecuted by
this Government with any view to the dis
memberment of that Republic, or to the ac-
QUESTION, by conquest, ofany portion Of her
territoly' This amendment received the uni
ted sanction ofthc Wing party in every State
in the Union. Throwing the question of slav-
erv aside, we are free to say that we would
rather see peace obtained upon the principle
of Mr. Bcrrien's amendment than 10 have

mot proviso That is no safeguard against
the extension of slavery, with American ter
