churchyard far beyond the 'wide wathers,'

a sswate crathur,' who once loved him
the New World is forgotten for the mo-
ment-plue Killarney and the Lify
sparkle before him-Glendalough spreads
beneath him into dark mirror-he sees the
same evening sunshine rest upon and
hallow alike with natures blessing the
ruin of the seven churches of Irela and's
apostolic age. the broken mounds of the
Druids, and the Round Towers of Phen-
ecoid-sun worshippers-beautiful and
and mournful recollections Of his home
waKen within him-and the rough and
seemingly careless and light hearted la
borer melts into tears. 1t is no light thing
to abandon ones country and household

injunction of the Prophet OF the Hebrews:

that ye were strangers IN the land of

Points of The Horse,

A point ofgreat importance in the fore
leg of a horse, is the proper setting on of
the arm, which should be strong, muscular
and long. By the length of this part in
the hare, added to the obliqu ity of the
shoulder, she can extend her fore-parts
farther than any other animal of her size;
in fact, she strikes nearly as far as the
eyhound that pursues her, by the help
of this lever. The proper position of the
arm of the horse, however, is the result of
an oblique shoulder. When issuing from
an upright shoulder, the elbow joint, the
centre of motion here, will be inclined in
ward; the horse will be what is termed
pinned in his elbows which causes his
legs to fall powerless behind his body. A
full and swelling forearm is one of the
most valuable points in horse, for what
ever purposes he may be required.
If sportsmen were to see the knee of a
horse dissected, they would pay more at
tention to the form and substance of it than
they generally do. 1t is very complica-
ted joint, but so beautifully constructed,
that it is seldom subject to internal injury.
Its width and breadth, however, are great
recommendations, as admitting space for
the attachment of muscles, and for the ac-
cumulation of ligamentous expansions and
bands, greatly conducive to strength. The
shank or cannon bone, can scarcely be too
short. 1t should be fiat; with the back
sinews strong, detached, and well braced.
This constitutes what is called .wiry
| leg. Round legs are sure to fail.
AS to the size of a horse, it may be re-
marked that no very large animal has
strength in proportion to its size. That
the horse has not, the pony affords proof,
if any other were wanting. There have
been many instances of horses, little more
than IA shands high, being equal to the
speed of hounds over the strongest coun-
ties in England. For example, Mr.. VIM.
Coke's pony as he was called, many
years celebrated in Leicestershire.

Irish EmigrantS.

John G. Whittier, the Quaker poet, in
writing about the Irish emigrants among
US, says:-
'.For myself | feel sympathy for the
lrlshman, see him as the representative of
generous, warm hearted, cruelty oppress-
ed people. That he loves his native land
that his patriotism is divided-that he
cannot forget the claims of his mother is
land-that his religion is dear to him
does not decrease my estimation of him.
"A stranger IN a strange land, he is to
me always an object of interest. The
poorest and rudest has romance IN his
history: Amidst all his gaiety of heart and
national drollery and wit, the poor emf
grant has sad thoughts of the souid mother
OF him. sitting lonely in her solitary cabin
by the bog side-recollections of Fa-
Tiers blessing and sisters farewell are

| left thee young and gay, Mary.
When last the thorn was white;
l went upon my way, Mary,
And all the world seemed bright;
For though my love had ne'er been told,
Yet, yet l saw thy form
Beside me in The midnight watch,
Above me in the storm.
And many a blissful DIR cam | had,
That brought thy gentle smile,
Just as it came when last we leaned
Upon the Church-yard Stile.
I'm here TO seek thee now, Mary,
AS all love the best,
To fondly tel! thee now, Mary,
I've hid thee in my breast;
come to yield thee up my heart,
With hope, and truth, and Joy,
And crown with manhood's honest faith
The feelings of the boy.
l brea thed thy name, but every pulse
Grew still and cold the while,
For was told thou vert asleep,
Just by the Church yard slie.
Oh! years may pass away, Mary,
And sorrow lose its sting,
For time is kind. they say, Mary.
And flies with headlong wing;
The world may make me old and wise,
And hope may have new birth,
And other joys and other ties
May link me TO the earth;
But memory, living the last,
Shall treasure up thy smile,
That called me back to find thy grave,
Close to the Churchyard Stile.

Chased the deer in days gone by,

Woke their warrIor's battle-cry;

On yon highest cliff to stand!
While Columbia's sweetest vallies
Sleep beyond on either hand.

PUNcTUALITY.-Meth as Mrs. Moore
says, is the very hinge of business; and
there is TO business without punctuality.
Punctuality is important because it sub
serves the peace and good temper ofa fam
lily; the want of it not only infringes on
necessary duty, but sometimes excludes
this duty. Punctuality is important as it
gains time; it is like packing things in a
box; good packer will get in halt as much
more as bad one. The calmness of
mind which it produces is another advan-
tage of punctuality; a disorderly man is
always in a hurry; he has no time to speak
with you, because he is going elsewhere;
and when he gets there he is too late for
his business, or he must hurry away to
another before he can finish it. 1t was a
wise maxim of the Duke of Newcastle
Il do one thing at time. Punctuality
gives weight to character-''such man
has made an appointment then know that
he will keep it." And this generates
punctuality in you for like other virtues,
it propagates itself.

You can't come it.

This phrase, and the gyration of the fin
gers round the nose, is older than most
persons are aware. In works of Rabel-
els, book 2nd, chapter l9 is found the fol-
lowing;
.Panurge suddenly lifted in the air his
right hand, and put the thumb thereof irto
the nostril of the same side, holding his
four fingers straight out, and closed orderly
in parallel line to the point of his nose,
shutting the left eye wholly, and making
the other wink with profound depression
of the eyebrows and eyelids. Then lifted
he up his left hand, with hard wringing
and stretching forth his four fingers and
elevating his thumb, which he held in a
line directly correspondent to the situation
of his right hand, with the distance of a
cubit and a halfbetween them. This done
in the same form he abased towards the
ground both the one and the other hand.
Lastly, he held them in the midst, as aim
ing right at the Englishman.'
