How TO Know THE ACE OF HoRsE.-The
colt is born with twelve grinders. When four
front teeth have made their appearance, the
colt is twelve days old ; and when the next
four come forth, it is four weeks old. When
the corner teeth appear, the colt is eight
months, and when the latter haveattained to
the height Of the front teeth it is ons year
old The two year old colt has the kernel
(the dark substance in the middle of the
tooths crown) ground out Of all the front
teeth. In the third year the middle front
teeth are being shifted, and when three years
old these are substituted by the horse teeth
The next four teeth are shifted in the fourth
year, and the corner in the fifth. At six
years the kernel is worn out of the lower
middle front teeth, and the bride teeth have
now attained to their full growth. At seven
years hook has been formed on the corner
teeth of the upper jaw the kernel is worn
out of all the lower front teeth, and begins TO
decrease in the middle upper fronts. In the
ninth year, the kernel has wholly disappeared
from the upper middle front teeth, the hook
on the corner has increased in size, and tho
bride teeth lose their points. In the tenth
year the kernel is worn out of teeth next to
the middle fronts of the upper jaw; and in
the eleventh the kernel has entirely vanished
from the corner teeth of the same jaw. At
twelve years old, the crown of all the front
teeth in the lower jaw has become triangular,
and the bride teeth are much worn down.
As the horse advances in age the gums shrink
away from the teeth, which, consequently,
receive long, narrow appearance, and their
kernels have become metamorphosed into g
darkish point, grey hairs increase in the fore
head, over the eyes, and the chin assumes tho
form of an angle.

Cool, COOLER, CooLEsr.-The other day
locomotive on the Erie and Cleveland road,
broke wheel just as it was running upon
the Conneaut bridge, in consequence of
which it was, together with several freight
cars. precipitated of the bridge, distance
of some forty feet to the valley below. In
one of the cars was a man who is, by all odds,
the coolest chap out. With him he had a
horse, and twenty-five sheep. When the ac-
cident took place, the car ahead went of first,
and then the one he, and his horse and sheep
were in, piled itself on top scattering man,
horse, sheep. and the fragments of the de-
molished ear, rather promiscuously over the
the ground. Gathering himself up uninjur-
ed. he coolly surveyed the heap ofruins for
an instant, and then, with that peculiar
nasal twang which proclaims the true Yam
kee, he broke forth with: What the ID
We all about here why, l swow. l would mt

then he spied one Of his sheep and the only
one hurt, with a horn knocked off, and he
continued his complaint with increased
warmth, There's my best ram with one Of
its horns knocked all to flinders why, |
would mt had that done for twenty shillings.
Then mounting his horse, and gathering up
his sheep, he drove them up the hill, got his
dinner at a neighboring house, and departed,
no doubt cursing his luck, and bemoaning
his lost horn,-lf any body can produce
cooler man than this, VIC want them to bring

Usually, pies of a doubtful character,
about as easy to digest as Jumps of clay, cake,
rancid and stale, dried up tarts. odds and

teen or twenty minutes TO refresh himself
But at Springfield was a model table, amply
furnished with well-cooked and palataole
food, including delicious oysters in every
style. But what attracted my undivided at
tention. was a mammoth platter OF baked
pork and beans, with plenty of rye and In
dian bread My appetite rallied instanter,
and with mental blessing (hastily said) on
the man who had sense to provide suen
wholesome, simple, and never TO be discarded
articles, l made the first good dinner lot seVe-

way of life be free and unobstructed, and
when, at last, he is "switched of into Eter-

be his, and over his final resting place let
monument be raised, with this inscription

Like some rare and costly jewel
Cleaning in the morning light,
Radiant as Goloonda's diamonds
Or the stars of summer night,
Traced about in feathery shootings
As 'twuuld write some valued name,
Was the frost this morning carly,
Shining on tho window pane.
All tho children gathered round it
Pressing fingers on its face,
Striving with the tricks of childhood
All its beauty to dcGaco
But the fire burns bright, and brighter
And the room is warm again
While the frost is softly weeping
Tears, upon the window pane.
60 my brightest, purest, henrt-dreams
And the garncrcd hopes of years,
Like the frost upon the window,
Often have dissolved in tears,
One by one, each little jewel
And each loved and cherished name
Vanished es the frost has melted
Here upon the window pane.
But from meath the dewy Offering
Brighter, flirer hopes would spring,
And about the rivcn heart strings,
Greener shoots of ivy cling,
While the ul would grow courageous
Striking out for wealth and fame,
Weaving visions like the fret-work
On the frosty window pane.
In the walk of life I've witnessed
Virtues micn, as clear and bright
As the frost is on tho window
After a cold wintry night,
When some daring vice would enter
Ii that heart and leave its stain,
Marrng it like childish trucings
Here upon the window pane.
Hearts may gather strength and sternness,
But they never change to stone,
And the thrilling spell OF memory
Ever will the spirit own.
Oft the heart grows cold and callous,
And may never melt again,
Till the sunlight shines upon it
As upon the window pane.
