Baking Of Eor,ss.


We have always looked upon the habit Of
baking iii horses as ineurable. We have seen
it lately stated that the Mexicans overcome this
propensity by the following kindly treatment: 4
The driver approaches the head of the horse,
pats him gently on the neck and head, speaking
soothingly ly to him all the whileI after few min.
utes, when the horses sulky humor somewhat
subsidies, the driver commences 10 blow verv
gently upon the horses nostrils, which he con-
tinues to do for few IN nutes, then soothes and
pats him again, and repeats the blowing up tho
nostrils, when, it is said the animal viii be
found to have been subdued. This is the plan,
also as stated by Catlin, that the buffalo calves
are tanned by the Indians; whether Il will prove
successful in conquering this radical fault in the
horse, we know MOTT may, however, be
worth the trial.
So far as our experience goes, kindness is one
OF the best correctives of bad habits, either in
man or beast; and it may be, that the gentle
treatment indicated above may be eficacious.

In Greene county, Va, man by the name OF
Garnet, while drinking from brook, swallowed
a leech. After trying several remedies, pow
erful enetic was administered, when the reptile
was thrown up alive. Although relieved from
the leech the man died in day or two after,
wards, the account says, from the injuries which
1t had inflicted but, in our opinion, like many
other remedies, death resulted from the effects
OF the powerful emetic. In all human prOba-
bility the gastric juice of the stomach would
have destroyed the worm in six hours, without
any injury whatever to the man.--Dol. News.

Tom Moore.


s.Here's health to the, Tom Moore
Here's double health to thee !'-Lord Hgron.
Tom Moore, whose double health was given
By Byron when his fame was bright,
As is some special star in Heaven
Seen by the watchers of the night
Lies quenched in gloom that is not broken,
Save by that flames reflected rays,
Lies where no language sung or spoken
Can chill with blame cheer with praise.
Well let him sleep in solemn quiet;
He was poet full of fire
Fed with soft dreams and prone to riot
In Loves excess and wild desire;
Though often from his harp there foated
A strain that saints with joy might hear
And feel their souls still more devoted,
More lifted from this earthly sphere.
Let grateful Erin rear above him
A lifting monument to tell
That, as twas hers in life to love him,
In death she keeps his glory well

The Escape of HIcngher.

The manner in which this Irish patriot effected
his escape from the British penal settlements does
not cast the slightest stain upon his honor. nor has

Irish exiles in Van Dieman's Land proposition
made them by the government officials there to the
effect that ifthey gave their parole of honor that
they would not make any attempt to escspe they
would be permitted to move at will in circles that
would be allotted to each" Ofthis proposition all

Rome, per is apparently less ancient in its as
poets than many cities on the Continent: less so,
even than York, Durham. Salisbury, Chester &C., in
England. Throughout Rome. as it stands to the
eye of stranger. the modern predominates the
ancient AT first, you every body and every
thing looking and acting Just every thing and
erybody looks and acts elsewhere. Indeed. some of
its antiquities lack the features that usually mark
the progress of time. St Peters, though erected
before America discovered, looks brighter than
St. Paul's Church. in Broadway. In the first view
of Rome, therefore, there is disappointment. Dick
ems who experienced it, says, after his first view of
the city, that lit not the Rome he expected to
find, degraded and fallen, and lying asleep in the
Sum- among heap of ruins and confess to have
gone to bed that night with very considerably
quenched enthusiasm"
But these first impressions only. They soon
fade away and the Rome that was as soon comes
up in its greatness and grandeur to fill and impress
both the eye and the mind You have only to as
cend the Pincian. the Captone, the Quirinal
