SABBATH SCHOOLS AT CINcINNATI.-The Ga
zette of the 9Th instant says:
About four thousand happy little faces con-
gregated on Eighth street yesterday afternoon.
1t was intended that Mr.. Cough should address
them in Wesley Chapel, but an unfortunate
suggestion was made that it should take place
in the Park. After marching over the city in
procession, they repaired to the Park, wearied,
and the sun shone down in mid summer heat
Mr.. Cough commenced speaking, and the grown
folks crowded in and the little folks we're
crowded out, and the great object of the occa-
sion was completely frustrated. Notwithstand-
ing this, the children seemed happy and to
enjoy the excitement of the day. About FIVE
O'Clock the various schools with their respec-
tive banners, quietly marched to their school
rooms Among the banners we were pleased
to see one on which was inscribed "Cold Water
Mfaat-ry which was surrounded by group
of little boys and girls ranging from three to
ten years of age Altogether the reunion was q
pleasant one for children, teachers, and friends.

defines his position on the disunion question:
"We are rowers in the democratic ship.

SANDWICH ISLANDS. 1t will be remembered
that, some time ago, rupture of the friendly
relations subsisting between the French resi-
dents and the people of the above-named islands
took place, and that the representative Of the
French government, and the chief functionary
of King Kamehamehu Ill, left the Islands
about the same time for the United States and
Europe, with the purpose of endeavoring to in
fuence the action respecting the difference that
it was apprehended would be taken by those
governments maintaining political relations with
the Sandwich Islands.
Late advices inform us that the negotiations
which have since been carried on between Mr..
Perrin, the new consul, and the Sandwich Is.
lands government, have failed Of any satisfac-
tory result, and will probably terminate in a
denial on the part of the latter of the demands
made by the French Cabinet. In this state OF
affairs the opinion is expressed that France will
deem it necessary to adopt summary measures
for the yindication of her honor and the defence
of the rights and privileges of her citizens, ana
that, in expectation of such event, the govern
mental authorities Of the Sandwich Islands will
invoke the protection of the United States.

Seeking at once thy mate, and leaving me
Even unthanked! But mayst thou find her soon,
And when your mutual JOY hath highest noon,
Unseared by couds-then shall be repaid,
Listening your music down the odorous glade

Where blooms the beautiful immortal grove
Where flow the living streams, where angels sing,
And friends loved and lost beckoningi

Pierces my prison walls; but when seek,
Lured by its brilliancy, to wing my fight,
Alas, the world is strong and am weak
But soon, full well know, FRIEND will speak,
Kindly, the word of power and shall rise

ing upon the telegraph, concludes thus;
A hero chieftain laying down his pen,
Closes his eyes In Washington at ten;
The lightning courier leaps along the line,
And at st. Louis tells the tale at nine;
Hating thousand miles when he departed,
And getting there hour before he started.

HoRsE-sHoEISG.-The following exceedingly
sensible remarks are from the pen of Mr.. Miles,
veterinary surgeon to the Queen of England's
life-guards, and author of several valuable vete-
rinary works. We commend them most partic-
ularly to the notice of every person who has
that valuable and almost indispensable animal,
the horse, in his charge. That class of persons
very justly characterized by Surgeon Miles as
:" asinine smiths" are invited to give their
attention.
The shoes of the horse should be Of equal
thickness throughout, with fat ground sur
face, as those with high heels, which asinins
smiths make in imitation Of their own, are dan
| gerously absurd. The toe, which ought to bt
raised is thus lowered, and natures plar
reversed, which eevates the point in order tc
avoid distractions. The web should be wide
and of the same width throughout, instead O
being pinched in, because the smith likes to see
the shoe well set off at the heels. This is both
unphilosophical and detrimental; it deceives
the eye of man, and Injuries the foot of the
horse. The outer edge of the foot rests on the
inner edge Of the shoe, and the remaining width
of the web projects beyond the hoof so that
the master who thinks his horse has a good
open foot, only has to be proud of bad open
shoe, which both conceals deformities under
meath, and invites with open arms bad road
to come and do its worst. The heels are made
bare just where the navicular joint is most ex-
posed; and if that be infamed what must the
agony be when the unprotected foot treads on
sharp flint The horse falls suddenly lame, or
drops as if he had been shot-phrases in much
too common use to require explanation and
small is the pity which the suffering animal
meets with from man, who, having first de-
stroyed the use of his victims feet, abuses him
because he cannot go; and imputes groggi-
ness" to him as a crime, as if he were in liquor
like groom, and not in agony.
