How TO suppuE VICIOUS HoRsE.-
The following fact occurred yesterday.
A beautiful and high spirited horse would
never allow shoe TO be put on his feet.
or any person to handle his feet, without
a resort to every species of power and
means to control him. At one time he
was nearly crippled by being put in the
stocks; he WIS afterwards thrown down
and fettercd; at another time one of our
most experienced horse shoers was una
bic to manage him by the aid 'f as many
hands as could approach. In an attempt
to shoe this horse yesterday, he resisted
all efforts, kicked aside everything hut an
anvil and came near killing himself against
that, and finally WIS brought beck to his
stable unshod. This was his only defect,
in all other respects he is gentle and per-
fectl docile, especially il. ha ness. But
this defect was just on the eve of consign-
ing him to The plough, where he might
work baref OF, when, by mere accident,
an Office" in our service, lately returned
from Mexico, WAS passing, end being
made acquainted with the difficulty, APP
piled complete remedy by the following
simple process:
He took cord about the size of n com
mon bed cord, put it in the mouth Of the
horse like bit, and tied it tightly on the
top of the animals head, passing his left
ear under the string, not painfully tight.
bet tight enough to keep the ear down,
and the cold in its place. THIS done, he
patted the horse gently on the side of the
head, and co Nmanded him to follow, and
instantly the horse obeved, perfectly sub
dued and MS gentle and obedient as a well
trained dog; suffering his feet to be lifted
with entire impunity, and acting in all re-
spccts like an old stagcr. That simple
string, thus tied, made him at once as do
cile and obedicnt as any one could desire.
The gentleman who thus furnished this
exceedingly simple means of subdung a
very dangerous propensity, iniimates that
tits practiSed in Mexico and South Amer
ica, in the management of wild horses
BE this as it may, he deserves the thanks
of al owners of such horses, and espoci
ally the thanks of those whose business it
may be to shoe or groom the animals.

TWO INCIDENTS IN THE WAR OF
1912.
Fortune favors the brave"

A milit ry officer with whom we have
long been intimate, relates two inc dents
connected with Croghan's gallant defen
ccs of Fort Stevenson. one of which af-
fords strong positive, and the other a
stronger negative proof of the above ad-
age.
AS the British and Indians, in their op-
erations, had violated pledges and the
usage of civilized warfare by wantonly
numbering their prisoners, the members
of Croghan's little band, (only 100 strong
with single six-pounder, and surround
ed by about 600 British troops, and shrice
that number of Indians,) had mutually
agreed to stand their ground to the last
and sell their lives as dearly as posi-
bic.
When all was ready, the British com
mander sent messenger, under flag of
truce. to treat for surrender of the Fo t.
Csoghan, pointing to him as he approach
ed, exclaimcd:---
alt will not do to let him enter here
and see our weakness; WHO will volun-
teer to meet him ?"
Al it was pretty certain that whoever
should leave the Fort on such mission
would be murdered by the bastard foe,
there was brief pause, when Ensign
Shipp replied;
al will upnn one condition"
"What is it?" asked Croghan.
"Pledgc me your word rs an officer and
man of honor, that you will keep that
gun bearing directly upon me, and that
you will FIRE it off the moment you see me
raise my hand"
The plt tdge was given, and Shipp went
forth.
To all the arguments and persuasiOns
of the enemy, his unwavering reply was {:
~ am instructed to say that we defend
that Fort"
Soon the Indians began to surround
him. One clutched his epaulette, anoth-
er his sword. Shipp, who was man of
Herculean frame, released himself by a
powerful effort, and :utnng to the enemy
coollv said:
"Sir. | have not put myself under the
protection of your truce without knowing
your mode of warfare. You sec that
grn, pointing to the solitary six pound
eI' ~ Us wen cnir3eu with grape, ana
have the solemn pledge of my command
er that it shall be fred at me the instant
that give him the signal. Therefore re-
strain these men and respect the law Of
war, or you shall instantly accompany me
to the other orld"
This was enough. Shipp was no NOR
moIested; ne returned to his comrades in
safety, and fought out the desperate ac-
tn that ensued and obtained promotion
s'r his bravery.
The circumstance referred to at the
head of this article, was told rs follows !:
After the British and Indians had with
drawn, Croghan missed one man (only
one) who had belonged to his little band,
and all efforts for his discovery, were for
some time unsuccessful At length his
remains were discovered in the garret of
one Of the block-houses. where he had
crent for safety and was cut into by q
cannon ball.
All thS rest, considering their chances
ipf lie not 8pb a thought, had only

WOMAN.


How solvsless is womani
What Inner can trace
The varied emotions
That CLEAN on her facet
And what art can portray
The feelings that lie
In the heave of her bosom,
The glance of her eyel
How tender ia womanl
The watcher at night,
Who leaves not the blossom
On account of the blight.
An angel Of mercy,
She soothes us in pain,
And SMILES in her glatlness
When health comes again.
How lofty is womanl
Deep, deep is her ire,
When light words enkindle
The spark on the pyre;
Majestic she towers,
Mau quails from her view.
Till her wrath, like cloud,
Soon dissolves into dew.
How loving is womanl
How fragile she cliugs
To him she hath chosen,
Whatever he brings;
Though all he can utter
Are words to deceive,
Confding-she loves him,
Though false-will believe.
How child-like is woman!
How winning her ways!
She strives for our pleasure
Through long weary days;
No i'll can alright her,
No shade can annoy;
She seeks but to lead us
To sunshine and JOY.
