a Perverse Animal Subdued.

An initerant was at nobleman's TO exhibit
feats of horsemanship, and the people had col
lected from far and near 10 behold the exhib-
ton. When the man had done with his own
horses. he turned and said
Now, my lord, | am willing 10 ride any
horse Of yours in the same manner
Having one remarkably stubborn, the noble
man told a groom TO bring her out. The
stranger then deliberately mounted and urged
her to move, but not one step would she stir
After pause, he quietly dismounted, gave her
one severe stroke with his whip, and again re-
sumed the saddle. The mare remained i'm
movable; but the man preserved his temper,
and got down quietly second time, repeating
the blow, but with no better success. Alter
the third stroke, however, she was completely
subdued, and moved forward with perfect obe-
dience.
Il now became evident that the design of the
horseman was to give the animal time to assoc
ciate the idea of her obedience with the stroke
that followed. When this was established, she
was willing to move. On the contrary, if a
shower Of blows had been dealt out, as thou
sands of horsemen would have done, the mare
would have no time TO reflect, and both she and
her rider been reused into fury. With good
temper, great savings might be made in the
article Of whips.

Science of Common Things.

WARMTH OF THE EARTH.-Tae earth is
warmer than the air during the day, because il
absorbs the heat of the sun more freely than
the air does, and, therefore, il is often several
degrees warmer but, on fine, clear, star
light night, the earth radiates The heat which
it absorbed during the day, and, consequently,
it becomes cooler than the air.
Why Lighthouses ARE GENERALLY LINED
WITH STRAW, AND WHITEwAsHED ON THE
OuTsIDE.-Ice-houses are for the most part
lined with straw, because straw is very in
different conductor Of heat and, therefore, does
not conduct the heat Of the atmosphere 10 the
ice, for which reason the ice is kept from melt
ing They are whitewashed because white
does not absorb the heat of the sun.
CAUSES OF MINERAL Springs When the
water flows through the ground, various sub
stances become dissolved ia it, snch as salt,
lime, sulphur, &C., and then the water par
takes of the mineral character Of the various
substances, and thus forms mineral spring.
Why 1T is UNSAFE TO Run OR DRIVE FAST
DURING THUNDER STORM 1T is very improp-
er and dangerous TO run or drive fast In thun-
der storm, for this reason The running or
driving produces a current Of air, and when air
is agtaled, it affords very little resistance to a
shock Of lightning, because il is better con-
ductor when in motion than when at rest.
Why STEAM BOILERS SOMETIMES BURST
Steam is a very elastic body, and increases in
elasiicy in the same proportion as the heat in
creases, and, therefore, this elasticity becomes
so great that if there is no vent to allow the
steam TO pass off freely, it will necessarily
make vent for itself, by bursting the vessel
which contains it.-Arthurs Home Gax

GooD FRUIT WITHOUT GRAFrING.-A Lam
caster county farmer, some twenty years ago,
committed the following statement to writing,
and we now publish it, for the first time, for
the benefit Of the readers of this paper - In
every perfectly ripe apple, it is observed in a
late English publication, there will be found
one, and sometimes two round seeds. the others
having one or more hatted Sides The round
ones, it is said, will produce the improved
fruit from which they were taken; while those
with fatted sides will produce the fruit
of the crab, upon which the graft was in
serted As he was fruit producer Of celeb
rlty, there may be some truth in it.-German-

Life.

Like to the falling of star;
Or as the flights of eagles are
Or like the fresh springs gaudy hue,
Or silver drops of morning dew;
Or like a wind that chafes the flood,
Or bubbles, which on wafer stood
Even such is man, whose borrowed light
Is straight called in, and paid tonight.
The wind blows out, the bubble dies,
The spring entombed in autumn lies;
The dew dries up, the ster is shot,
The fight is rast,-an man forgot.

Yankee Doodle.

In the summer of 1865, the British army I'M
on the east bank Of the Hudson river, little
south of the city Of Albany. awaiting reinforce
ments of militia from the Eastern States, pre-
vious to marching upon Ticonderoga. During
the month of June, these raw levies poured in
to camp, company, each man differently armed,
equipped and accounted from his neighbor, and
the whole presenting such spectacle as was
never equnled unless by the celebrated regi-
ment of merry Jack Falstaff Their oufre APP
pearance furnished great amusement to the
British officers. One DR.. Shackburg, and Eng
lsh surgeon, composed the tune of Yankee
Doodle, and arranged it to words. which were
gravely dedicated to the new recruits. The
joke took, and the tune has come down to this
day. The original words, which we take from
Farmer Moor's Historical Collections, pub
Iished in 1924 we have not however, met with
before in many years.
Father and went down to camp,
Along with Captain Goodwin,
Where we see the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding.
There was Captain Washington
Upon slapping stallion,
A giving orders to his men
l guess there was million.
And then the feathers on his hat,
They looked so tarnal fina,
wanted peskily to get
To give to my Jemima.
And there they had swampin gun
AS large as log of maple,
On deuced little cart,
A load for fathers cattle:
And every time they fired it off,
1t took horn of powder;
1t made noise like fathers gun,
Only nation louder.
went as near to it myself
As Jacobs underpinnin,
And father went as near again
thought the deuce was in him.
And there sa little keg.
1t heads were made of leather,
They knock'd upon't with little sticks
To call the folks together.
And there they'd fife away like fun,
And play on corn-stalk fddles,
And some had ribbons red as blood,
All wound about their middles.
The troopers, too, would gallopup
And fire right in our faces
1t scared me almost half to death
To see them run such races.
Old uncle Sam come there to change
Some pancakes and some onions,
For lasses cakes, to carry home
To give his wife and young ones.
But can't tell you half see,
They kept up such smother,
So took my hat off-made a bow,
And scamper'd home to mother.
