BURsTED.-The Kidd bubble, with its
Golfer dam. The wonder is. how it was
ever blown up-eyen at this verdant
age. A full exposure ola long series of
frauds and knavery Of the most villainous
kind, duplicating men in Now York city
who stand high both in society and in
business, canno much longer be avoided.
For the matter, it is said, the truth is,
that, at the scene of operations, near
CaldwelPs no sign of hulk of any kind
has been found-nothing but mud, mud,
from first to last. All the pretended dis
coveries there have been ~fctitious-the
"deposites' alleged to have been brought
up from the vessel having been imme-
diately before placed at the spot for the
purpose. The ~expedients which have
been used to keep the fraud alive. says a
letter from New York, will cause a maj
vel at the villainy and duplicity, the GU
pidity and gullibility of the world.
Large quantities of the shares have been
sold in London and Liverpool, and a.
mongst the recent arrivals at New York
from England are sevcralofthe dupes.

EDUCATION AT THE WEST.

OUR readers were long since informed Of
the existence, at Cincinnati, of an Associa-
ton for the promotion of Popular Education,
particularly in the Western States, and that
of this Association, Hon. WILLIAM SLADE,
late Governor of Vermont, had been appoln-
ted General Agent. The objects are two
fold: |. To explore the more destitute por-
tons of the country, ascertain their wants
in regard to we'll qualified teachers, and Sc
cure appropriate arrangements for their re-
ception and employment. 3D. To find COM
petent teachers, and obtain, through the lib
crafty of the friends of Education, the
means of preparing and sending them to
places which may be provided, and sustain
ing the agencies necessary to carry forward
the whole movement.
Mr.. Slade having spent six months IN VS.
ting portions of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois;
Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, has issued
circular "To the Friends OF Popular Ed
ucation in the United States, presenting the
results of his labor thus far, and explaining
more fully the plan of future operations
Our limits will not allow us to publish this
circular in full, but we shall take great pleas
ure in presenting its most substantial facts.
II appears that Mr.. Slade met with very
a.1.aYinn ,ecention al the West, and had an

CAMANCHE HORSES.

A writer in the New York Dispatch, who
processes to speak from {" a degree of expe-
rience," says -
1t takes prairie horse long time to ap;
preciate the merits of grain-they snuff
their noses at it in disdain, at first \; and
wonder what you mean by offering them
white pebbles to eat. Having never been
introduced to it in the whole course of their
lives, and being accustomed to regard the
prairie grass as sufficient for all sublunary
wants, their teeth are necessarily astonished
at such Hinty pabulum. have often laugh
ed heartily at observing the awkward at
tempts of my Indian horse to get at the
merits of an ear of corn. He invariably
gave it up in despair, until | shelled it fol-
him. The wonder is, that they will endure
more hard riding, on the simple food they
pick from the first spot you chance to halt
at, than your corn fed American horses
But for this fact, it would be impossible to
traverse these great plains. The Indian
gets an amount of service out of his horse
that is almost incredible yet the idea OF
raising grain for him never entered his CRAM.
UNI. He will run horse eighty miles aday
and at night simply take off his rigging, and
turn the animal loose to shift for himself un
til morning-then finds him fresh as lark
and ready for the same or greater work again
He will keep him going at this rate for three
months and then turn him free to reluven'
ate, and at the end of nine weeks has tc
lasso him and break him over again!
These mustangs are magnificent race
of animals; their descent is from the high
est royal lineage of Barbary; and it is RI
diculous for us to be making such wonder
ment over the Arab and his steed, and en-
deavoring to bride the ragged wretch at e.
normous prices to part with his better life
that we may transport it across wide seas to
improve our stock at home. We have the
very same animal-equal in every possible
sense-wandering in herds of countless
thousands over our own plains.

to send to the windward ports, to be quick
about it, as il was inconvenient for us to
stop just then. / believe Solomon says it is
not good to be vain glorious. AT all events,
while we were skimming along so gallantly,
the whale suddenly milled, and pitched the
boat on her beau ends. Every one who
could grasp thwart hung on TO it, and we
were all fortunate enough to keep our seats.
For as much as ships length the boat flew
through the water on her gunwale, foamng
and whizzing as she passed onward. 1t was
rather matter of doubt as to which side
would turn uppermost, until Tabor Stacked
out the line, when she righted. To have a
boat, with all her irons, lances, gear and
oars, piled on ones head in such sea was
rather startling prospect to the best swim
mer.
Meanwhile the whale rose to the surface
to spout. The change in his course had
enabled the mates boat to come up and
we lay on our oars in order that Mr. D.
might lance him. He struck him in the
{ life the first dart, as was evident from the
whales furious dying struggles nevertheless
in order to make sure, we pulled up and
churned lance back of his head.
] cannot conceive any thing more striking
~ awful than the butchery of this tremen
dous leviathan of the deep. Foaming ant
preaching, he plunged from wave to wave
flinging high into the air torrents of BLOOD
and spray. The sea around was literally {
sea of blood AT one moment his head wa:
poised high in the air, and the next, he burr
ed himself in the CORY sea, carrying dowr
in his vast wake a whirlpool of foam ano
slime But this respite was short. He rose
again, rushing furiously upon his enemies
but slight prick of the lance drove hin
back with mingled fury and terror. Which
ever way he turned the barbed iron goadet
him to desperation. Now and again the
intense agony would cause him to lash thu
water with his huge Aukes, till the very o
cean appeared to heave and tremble at hi
power. Tossing, struggling, dashing owe
in his agony, he spouted up the last of hi
hearts blood Half an hour before he wa
free as the wave, sporting in all the pride o
gigantic strength and unrivalled power. HI
now lay a ifeless mass his head toward
the sun, his tremendous body heaving to tn
SWELL and his destroyers proudly cheering
over their victory-From Brovn's IVhalin!

died, and was buried without u.s." A hand
of each was dropped between the seat; they
met in firm grasp.
The ladies alighted at Lancaster, and went
into one of the houses at the depot in a
room, they evidently discussed their domes-
tic arrangement, and in view of the suffer-
ings which their folly had caused, the one
threw herself upon the bosom of the other,
and " they lifted up their voices and wept."
Let us not part now, Elisabeth come
with me-put your trunk into my carriage,
and 90 home with me noo."
But what will your husband say to see
me coming j.
"What would your husband say to see
me at your house ?"
al will go: they will both be delighted ;
and fathers grave"
The plain carriage swept up the hill, and
thought that the bridal pair, which took
an opposite direction, were not as happy as
the reconciled sisters, who had sacrificed
upon fathers grave all the luminosity of
years; and smiles and joy must have been
in and around the house whittier they went,
The sunlight that follows shipwreck is
not less beautiful, though it shines upon the
remnants of broken bark i; what is saved
is so much more precious than that which
has been lost, The domestic circle is al
ways too precious to make excusable any
neglect to prevent or heal disturbance
There are enough to minister, by hints and
reports, to domestic unkindness and, I'M
fortunately, the best, under such circum'
stances, are much prone to mistake, and thus
misrepresent motives; and trifles, with nc
direct object, are magni6ed into mountains
of intentional offence. 1t is the same in
social life. Let us guard against it, Deli
cate relations are like the polish of costly
cutlery; dampness corrodes, and the rust
though removed, leaves spot.-U. s. Ga

MORAL.
A celebrated modern writer says, "Take
care of the minutes, and the hours will take
care of themselves" This is an admirable
remark, and might be very seasonably rec
objected when we begin to be weary in
well-doing," from the thought of having
much to do The present moment is all we
have to do with, in any sense; the past is
recoverable the future is uncertain nor
is it fair to burden one moment with the
weight of the next. Sufficient unto the mo-
ment is the trouble thereof If we had to
walk hundred miles, we should still have
to set but one step at time, and this pro-
cess continued would infallibiy bring us to
our journeys end. Fatigue generally be-
gins, and is always increased, by calculating
in a minute the exertlon of hours.
Thus, in looking forward to future life,
let us recollect that we have not to sustain
all its toll, to endure all its sufferings, or ell
counter all its crosses, at once. One mo-
ment comes laden with its own little burdens,
then flies, and is succeeded by another no
heavier than the last If one can be borne,
SO can another and another.
Even looking forward to single day, the
spirit may sometimes faint from an anticl.
patton of the duties, the labors, the trials to
temper and patience, that may be expected
Now this is unjustly laying the burdens o.
many thousand moments upon one, Let any
one resolve always to do right noD, leaving
then to do as it can; and if lie were to live
to the age of Methuselah, he would never
do wrong. But the common error is, to re
solve to act right after breakfast, or afte
dinner or tomorrow morning, or neat time
but noU, just now, this once, we must go OIL
the same as ever.
1t is easy, for instance, for the most Ill
tempered person to resolve, that the mex
time he is provoked, he will not let his tenn
per overcome him; but the victory would b.
to subdue temper on the present provoca
ton. If, without taking up the burden @
the future, we would always make the singt
effort at the present moment; while Their
would, at any one time, be very little to dc
yet, by this simple process continued, ever
thing would at last be done.
1t seems easier to doright tomorrow thai
to-day, merely because we forget that whel
tomorrow comes, then will be noe. Thu
life passes with many, in resolutions for thu
future, which the present never fulfils.
1t is not thus with those who, by pa
tient continuance in weH doing seek to
glory, honor, and immortality. Day by day
minute by minute, they execute the appoir
ted task, to which the requisite measure c
time and strength is proportioned; and thus
having worked while it is called day, the
at length rest from their labors, and thel
works follow them
Let us then, whatever our hands find t
do, do it with all our might, recollectin
that now is the proper and accepted time

And TO liberty lead the slave.
