Man and Horse.

When horse does little work, we give
him less attention-when not worked al
all, we know that mischief will result. un>
less he is.well exercised. When horse
is hard worked we know it to be impollic
TO load its stomach while suffering from
fatigue. When horse comes IN from a
journey, groom knows that its health
depends on its skin being freed from the
dust and perspira;ion, and also that the
animal can not be comfortable unless
cleaned once day. II its food does not
agree with il, the groom varies il in guam
tity and quality or both. No sensible
owner lets his horse drink while in vio>
lent perspiration, nor do more than rinse
its mouth, but will let it drink its fill
about an hour before its meals, neither
allowing it to load its stomach with liquid
either at meals, or when hard work is
Immediately 10 follow.
This is all sound physiological treats
ment, drawn from a watcAful observation
of the effects Of regulated diet and regi-
men on the health and capabilities OF the
animal. How differently man acts to
himself, When he is streaming with
perspiration and giving orders for care
ful attention TO his horse, he will walk in
to a refreshment or even an ice>cream
His diet is regulated by his tastes and
cravings; the quantity varies not with
his exerticn or labor, but with his palata-
bility. His meals consist of dishes pro-
portionate to the length of his purse
The times of eating depend on business
fashion, or anything but his physica
wants. His drink also is taken accor-
ding to his inclinauons, or according to
the society be mixes with. and quantity
or quality vary only with his palate and
means! Those who work least, gene
rally fare the richest. The skin Of a
horse must be kept clean or disease en-
sues, but the horses master is needless OF

The SELFIHNEss OF VICE. Where there
is no integrity there can be no confidence !;
and where there is no confidence there can
be no unanimity. Three German robbers,
having acquired, by various atrocities, what
amounted 10 very valuable booty, they
agreed 10 divide the spoil, and 10 retire from
SO dangerous a vocation. When The day
which they had appointed for this purpose
arrived, one of them was despatched TO
neighboring town TO purchase provisions for
a last carOusal. The other two secretly
agreed to murder him on his return, that
they might each come in for whole half Of
the plumber, instead of only third. They
did so. But the murdered man was closer
calculator even than his assas.ins, for he had
previously poisoned part Of the provisions.

Run FOR THE DocroR !-Nothing, says
Harpers' Magazine, so much vexes a
physician as TO be sent for in great haste,
and to find, after his arrival, that nothing,
or next TO nothing, is the matter with his

of this kind, recorded Of an eminent Eng

He had been sent for by a gentleman
who had just received slight wound, and
gave his servant orders to go home with
all haste imaginable, and fetch a certain
plaster. The palIent,lurning little pale,

SARDINEs.-A Paris correspondent Of
the Washington Republic gives the fol-
lowing particulars OF the sardine fishery:
How many sardines do you suppose
have been taken This year upon the coast
Of Brittany, two hundred miles long /!
Five hundred and seventy-six millions.
Half of them are to be preserved and sold
fresh, aud half are TO be put down in oil.
One hundred and sixty vessels, manned
by FIVE thousand FIVE hundred sailors and
fishermen, are engaged in the trade. The
preparation, transport, and sale of the fish,
employ ten thousand persons. Nine
thousand Of these are occupied all win
ter in the making and mendng Of nets.
The fishing lasts two hundred days,
and yields net profit to all concerned OF
three million francs. The sardines dis
appear in November and return in April.
Where they 60 during these four months,
why they 60 or what they do while gone,
has never been discovered. The fisher
men say that the same individuals never
come twice-that every successive arri-
val is composed of fish much smaller than
those that last left and that they ap>
pear to be their young. At any rate they
count implicitly on their appearance and
no sardine was ever yet known to break
an engagement thus tacitly entered into
