Equestrian Exercise for Ladies.

The most experienced physicians a.
gree that horseback exercise is beneh-
cial to all, but more especially SO for in
valids and sedentaries. The gentle mo-
ton of The chest, the increase of respi-
ration, the gradual shifting of every drop
of blood in the arteries, the fresh, buoy
ant wings given to the spirits during an
hours gailop on clear spring morning,
must render it an antidote for nine
teRths of mortal maladies. We believe
that equestrian exercise, under Judi
cious direction, is, of itself, if timely
commenced, cure for consumption
There is no civilized country on the
globe, where physical education is SO
much neglected as in America the con-
sequence of which is, that our males are
emi-dwarfs, and our females little more
than house-plants. The English, ply
sioally, the most beautiful natien or the
earth, are assiduous in this department
of education. They would think a chld's
education incomplete without thorough
knowledge of horsemanship. One Of
the most interesting pictures that the
pencil of an artist ever drew, is a finely
formed and graceful woman mounted on
spirited charger, who, proud Of his
fair burden, curbs his glossy neck and
spurns the earth as if it were not good
enough for him to stand upon. It has
been said that lady's position on horse
is dangerous. we do not think SO. Ev.
cry position is either dangerous or awk-
ward until we learn to manage ourselves
in it. A lady, with proper care and
training, can get the management Of /,
horse SO completely that he will be put
to his last trump to throw her. In evi.
dence, we may name Fanny Kemble
A few hints and practice are all shs
needs. The left foot should be placed
in the stirrup little above the SECOND
joint of the great toe. The reins shoe
be brought up between the fingers of thu
left hand, and firmly held between thu
thumb and first finger. The left shout
der should be brought well forward, ant
the right hand, holding the whip, fal
gracefully by the right side. The pom
mel of the saddle should not be held BY
the right hand. The fair rider shoult
throw her shoulders back, and give a
much expansion to the chest as possib.
and keep as nearly as she can the mo
mentum of her horse. If the stee,
springs suddenly to the left, and she a
grees not with his direction, she gets
counter motion and falls to the right
which is neither pleasant nor graceful
