Agricultural.
HIGH VS.. Low HORSES

have been struck by some of the posi-
tisns in the Coantry Gentieman's account of
the late Horse Show, at Springfield. In CIV
ing history of the origin of the affair, you
state
cit was seen by the originator Of the
movement, and by those who sympathized
with him, that New England and the country
generally were indebted to single State for
the most of their desirable and valuable
horses. 1t was seen that single breeding an
| imals had been the source of almost millions
of revenue to the breeders Of their respective
localities, and that in the majority of the
States of the Union, it was almost impossible
to find horse, bred at home that was Of high
value
The sentiments of this paragraph are un-
deniably correct, and are worthy OF being
kept constantly in view. Turn now to the
sketch of the speech Of Mr. Holcomb He
said, "The Stock of thorough-breds was de-
preciating in England. X X X He thought
the size, and more particularly the height OF
the Morgans and Black Hawks might be IN
creased (Which he adyisei) by feeding the
cots more highly for the first year. Tie al
so advised crossing the stock with larger
horses"
That gentleman, in the course of his re-
marks, spoke Of the Arabian horse. Now il
is we'll known that while the English adhered
to the general character Of this breed, thai
their horses were so famous for long race;
and power Of endurance. But the Arab, il
his highest purity, is not the tall animal that
some amateurs advocate. The latest and
perhaps the most reliable, OF all authors, Mr.
Layard, informs us that the average heigh
Of these celebrated animals is from IL hand
to II 3-4, rarely reaching Is. An Arabia'
horse only IA hands high lately beat a note'
English mare, Is IL hands high, in rae
near Alexandria. He belongs to Halen
Pasha, a son Of the Viceroy of Egypt. w
are informed that challenge has now beel
given to run the same horse fourteen mile
against any competitor, and the English ar
doliberating whether it is safe to accept it.
Such is the stature of the most famou
breed Of horses in the world. And yet W
have seen late attempt in this country t.
put such noble animals entirely out of tn
category Of horses, allowing them only tn
name Of ponies!
A pamphlet, written by distinguishes
cavalry officer, had lately been published il
England, in which it is shown that two O
the principal causes of the degcneracy o
English horses, are breeding from those o
too great height, which has been done bot
to adapt the stock to the London taste 70
carriage horses, and to produce those whicl
can run rapidly at short distances, and fore
ing the growth Of the young animals by hig
feeding.
Ii these practices produce such result
abroad, why should we be encouraged t
adopt them? In conclusion, can only say
that whatever experiments may be made ii
reference to suiting an absurd fashion Of
day, hope our breeders will adhere to tn
standard, as to size, height and shape, whicl
experience has proved constitutes the mos
serviceable, useful, and really valuable horse

THRILLING ADVENTURE,

beds reserved for Travellers and being called
out of town to spend the following day, for

From Putnam's Mon
PHANTOMS.
BY LoNGfELLow,

All houses wherein men have lived and died
Are haunted houses. Through the open doors
The harmless phantoms on their errands glide,
With feet that make no sound upon the floors.
We meet them at the doorway, on the STAIR
Along the passages they come and go,
Impapable impressions on the air,
sense of something moving to and fro.
There are more guests at table than the hosts
Invited the Illuminated hall
Is thronged with quiet, inofensive ghosts,
As silent as the pictures on the wall.
The stranger at my iresde cannot see
The forms | see, nor hear the sounds hear;
lie but perceives what is, while unto me
All that has been is visible and clear.
We have no title deeds to house or lands
Owners and occupants Of earlier dates
From graves forgotten stretch their dusty hands
And hold in mortmaia all their old estates.
The spirit world around this world of sense
Floats like an atmosphere, and everywhere
Watts through these earthly mists and vapors dense
4 vital breath of more ethereal air.
Our little lives are kept in equipoise
BY opposite attractions and desires
The struggle of the instinct that enjoys,
And the more noble instinct that aspres.
The pnrtGrbations, the perpetual jar
or earthly wants and aspirations high,
Come from the influence of that unseen star
That undiscovered planet in our sky.
And as the moon from some dark gate of cloud,
Throws DER the sea floating bridge of light
Across whose trembling planks or fances crowd
Into the realm Of mystery anl night
So from the world Of spirits there descends
A bridge Of light connecting it with this,
Ger whose unsteady floor, that sways and bends,
Wander our thoughts above the dark abyss.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatiye pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
syc trial of its virtues has conciusively shown with
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed.
Ii is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best Of all pills one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages. of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revulsion in the system as to
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pits produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obsruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their in any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously Minute directions for their
use III the several diseases to which they are ap-
p!icablo are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms

Bilious Fever, Fever aid Ague Pain in the Side

sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an

They have also produced some singuarly sue
cessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel
Erysipelas, Palptation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
lite and vgor. They purify the blood, and, by their
stmulant action on the circulatory system reno
vate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies Of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physc is required cannot be enumerated here but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
