HORSE VS.. MULE.

good many communications, says cor
respondent OF the Southern Planter, have
appeared in your paper, showing the advan-
lage OF mules over horses. wish TO give you
few fireside calculations of an old farmer
on The subject Suppose farmer to start
with Team of ten mules, which will cost
Sl200; the losses would amount TO at least
one in two years, which, at the same price,
would be sixty dollars IA year to keep up his
team. Suppose another TO start with four
horses and six mares, costing $1,000; he
ought TO raise not less than two colts a year
the cost of raising which is, say forty dol
lars. AsI have allowed that five mules
would die in ten years. will allow tha,
eight horses would die in the same time,
which would leave the farmer twenty-five
horses a, the end Of the ten years. He ought
TO have sold during the ten years, twelve Of
raising, $3.50, which would make his team
cost him $3.50 during the ten years.
Whereas, If we attempt TO raise mules he
would have TO buy mares, which added 10
the cost and trouble Of raising them, would
make it cheaper in the end TO buy the mules.
But where are the mares 10 come from if we
all raise mules' They say that mules live
much longer, stand abuse, and eat less than
horses. | have disposed OF the long life in
allowing eight horses TO die in the same time
tha, five mules would. can allow nothing
for abuse TO either, aud as TO eating less,
have not found it The case because l can
luln mS horses out on grass six months in the
year, besides all this time when they are
not used, and always found The old saying
true about mules, 'that there were but two
places for the mule-,he stable and the
harness." for as soon as he is turned on, he
will get into mischief; consequently he will
ca, more grain in year than horse. Vir
glnia is now paying 10 Kentucky S9oo,Ooe
, or Ssoo,O0o per AMMAN for mules and mus
pay more, because the keninekians have
J already bought up large number OF mare'
in western Virginia, at double the price Ihey
, iorinely sold lor, aud have almost stoppeC
the raising OF horses there, and we arr
" obliged, from necessity, 10 buy their mnles
u That believe is the principal cause Of lh'
" high prices Of horses At present and | ihinl

Mr.. Edward Singleton was one day seat

stairs, and moment alter some one raped
loudly at the door.
"Come in.'
The door flew open, and young man
hastily entered.

"But what are your motives for denying

His friend gave vent TO hearty laugh
and said
"The very reason why you should GO

brilliant throng of youth and beauty that

lovely being to whose care you would be

"True enough but whether that parlle'
ulat one could be- induced to deliver hers i0

THE HOUSEHOLD DARLING.
BY JOHN cRITcHLEY PRINCE, A WORKING MAN
IN ENGLAND-A WEAVER.

Little Ella, fairest dearest,
Unto me and un;o mine
Earthly cherub, coming nearest
H To my dreams Of shapes divine
Her brief absence frets and pains me,
Her bright presence solace brings,
Her spontaneous love restrains me
From hnndred selfish things.
Little Ella moveih lightly,
Like graceful fawn al play,
Like a brookiet running brightly
In the genial smile Of May;
Like breeze upon The meadows,
All besprent with early flowers;
Like bird mid sylvan shadows,
In the golden summer hours.
You shonld see her, when with nature
She goes forth 10 think or play,
Every limb and every feature
Drinking in the Joy Of day;
STOPPING oft mid floral splendor,
Snatching colors and perfumes,
She doth seem SO fair and tender,
Kin 10 the mbrosial blooms.
Sweet thought si,te,h like garland
On her placid brows and eyes,
Ewes which seem to see lar land
Through the intervening skies;
And she seems TO listen often
To some voice above the spheres,
Whilst her earnest features soften
Into calmuess, kin 10 tears.
Not all mirthlul is her manner,
Though no laugh so bll'he as hers;
Grave demeanor comes upon her
When her inmOst nature siirs.
When gentle lip reproves her,
All her gladstone Sraces itee;
But the VOID "iorgiveness' moves her
With new JOY and sets her tree.
Should shade Of sickness near me,
Then she takes holier grace;
Comes TO strengthen and TO cheer me,
With her angel light of face.
Up The stair hear her coming,
Duly at the morning hour,
Sweetly singing, softly humming,
Like bee about a flower.
Good books wake ecstalic feelings
In her developed mind;
Holy thoughts, whose high revealings
Teach her love for human kind.
Music thrills her with a fervor,
Like the songs of seraphim
May bright spirits teach and nerve her
To parlake the periec, hymn.
God of heaven in Thy good seeing
Spare his darling child to me-
Spare me this unsuIlied being,
It'll she brings me close TO thee.
Unseen angels, bless her, mould her
Into goodness, clothed in grace,
Tba, on hjuh | may bekold her
Talking with ye, face to face
