EQUESTRIANISM.

As horseback riding is quite fashion
able among young ladies and gentlemen,
we copy the following in relation to a
very important and hitherto Undecided
point, from the New York Spirit Of the
Times, the highest authority on such
subjects, which proves, we think, pretty
conclusively, the correctness of the posi-
ton we have long maintained, that the
right side is net the right side, alter all {;
1.-The reins are to be held in the left
hand, and the right hand is free to rem
der aid, should the horse become frac-
tious, or the habit of the rider require
adjusting. If the gentleman rides on
the right side, he must use his left hand,
and can do so to very little purpose.
Instances have occurred where the ladv's
horse has taken fright on the instant,
and the rider was rescued by the gentle
man being on the left side and taking
her from the frightened animal to his
own. If the lady wishes to converse,
and her escort is at her right ha I'd, she
must turn her head half round to make
herself heard. Again, the escort being
at the left hand, her dress is protected
from the vehicles passing, and if it be-
comes disarranged, it is not exposed to
public view
This is doubtless the true place to ride;
though it has the evil of danger to the
lady's feet by the conduct of the gentle
mans horse. lie should, however, be
able to manage his horse, and keep him
in the right place.

IL the early part Of the eighteenth
century, a farmer was condemned to
suffer the extreme penalty of the law for
COW stealing. His wife called to see him
a few days previous to his execution, to
take a last farewell, when she asked
him
My dear, would you like the chill
dren to see you executed ?"
No." he replied, "what must they
come for 90
That's just like you," said the wife,
"you never wanted the children to have
any enjoyment"

THE PHANTOM.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR

Again sit within the mansion,
In the old, familiar seat;
And shade and sunshine chase each other
Ger the carpet at my feet
But the sweet-brier's arms have wrestled upwar'
In the summers that are past;
And the willow trails its branches lower
Than when saw them last
They strive to shut the sunshine wholly
From out the haunted room;
To I'll the house that once was joyful,
W.sh silence and with gloom
And many kind, remembered faces,
Within the doorway come
Voices. that wake the sweeter music
OF one that now is dumb
They sing in tones as glad as ever,
The songs she loved to hear;
They braid the rose in summer garlands,
Whose flowers to her were dear
And stIn, her footsteps in the passage,
Her bushes at the door.
Her timid words of maiden welcome,
Come back to me once more
And al forgetful Of my sorrow,
Unmindful of my pain,
I think she has but newly left me,
And soon will come again
She stays without, perchance a moment
To dress her dark brown hair;
I hear the rustic of her garments,
Her light step on the stair
o hu..sring heart control thy tumult,
Lest eyes profane should see
Ny cheeks betray the rush Of rapture
Her coming brings to me
She tarries long but 10 a whisper
Beyond the open door,
And, gliding through the quiet sunshine,
A shadow on the hoori
All It's the whispering pine that calls me,
The vine, whose shadows strays;
And my patient heart must still await her,
Nor chide her long delays.
But my heart grows sick with weary waiting
As many time before
Her foot is ever at the threshold,
Yet never passes Ger.

THE REWARD.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Who, looking backward from his manhood's prime
Sees not the spectre OF his misspent time
And, through the shade
OF funeral cypress, planted thick behind,
Hears no reproSchful whisper on the wind
From his loved dead!
Who bears no trace Of passions evil force
Who shuns thy sting, o terrible remOrse
Who would not cast
Half of this future from him, but to win
Yakeless oblivion from the wrong and sin
or the sealed Past 2
Alas the evil which we fain would shun,
We do and leave the wished-for good undonei
Our strength to-day
Is but to-morrow's weakness, prone tn fan,
Poor blind. unprofitable servants al,
Are we alway.
Yet who, thus looking backward Ger his years,
Feels not his eye-Iids wet with grateful tears,
If he hath been
Permitted, weak and sinful as he was,
To cheer and aid, in some ennobling cause,
His fellow men?
II he hath hidden the outcast, or let in
A ray Of sunshine to the cell Of sin
II he hath lent
Strength to the weak. and, in the hour Of need,
Over the suffering, mindless Of his creed
Or hue, hath bent
He hath not lived in vain, and while he gives
The praise to Him in whom he moves and lives,
With thankful heart,
He Razes backward, and with hope before,
knowing that from his works he never more
Can henceforth part.

THE New STATE BOARD OF AGRIcUL

THE New STATE BOARD OF AGRIcUL-
TURE, as at present organized, is the
best Ohio has ever had. 1t consists ol
Gen. James T. Worthington, Chilicothei
Judge Musgrave, Sulphur Springs,
Crawford county W. H. Ladd, Rich
mond, Jefferson county; Robert w,
Steele, Dayton; James L. Cox, Zanes-
vile; Buckley Stedman, Cleveland
Alexander Waddle, South Charleston,
Clark county; Joseph Sullivant, Colum-
bus; John X. Greene, Carthage, Ham
lton county and Abel Krum, of Ash
tabula. Messrs. Waddle and Krum are
new members. On the meeting of the
new Board, Gen. Worthington was cleo
ted President, DR.. Sprague, Correspon-
ding Secretary, ]. K. Greene, Recording
Secretary, ]. Sullivant, Treasurer
Judge Musgrave, who for the past year
has been President of the Board, to the
pride and satisfaction of all concerned,
declined a reelection, and the honor
was most worthily bestowed on Gen.
Worthington. OF course no one objec-
ted to the reelection of DR.. Sprague as
Secretary. The Farmers of Ohio may
rest easy while their interests are en-
trusted to such hands as our present
State Board of Agriculture.
Every man in 1t is possessed of high
moral character, and Ohio farmers owa
it to themselves to see that it does moi
deteriOrate by subsequent elections

country called for his abOrs, in either hemisphere
| or in any capacity, he never spared them in her
/ cause. On the twenty-fOurth of December, 1914 he
signed the Treaty with Great Britain, which restored
| Peace within her borders. On the twenty-third of
February, lS4o he closed sixteen years of eloquent
defence Of the Lessons of his Youth by dying 1t
his Post, in her great National Council. A son,
worthy Of his Father Citizen, shedding his glory
on his Country Scholar, ambitious to advance
AianSind-this Christian sought to walk humbly in
the sight of his God.

Municipal Affairs.

In our report of the proceedings of the
paragraph occurred:
Aid. Davis, bill to reduce the expenses of the
corporation. II imposes the responsibility Of max
ing contracts and spending money entirely upon the
Mayor It passed second reading, and was referred
10 select committee of three to report at the next
meeting of the Board. Capt. Davis, Anderson and
Coltart, were appointed said committee.
This is an important bill, and is entitled to a
more particular notice, in order that its pro-
visions may be better understood. Those ia
milar with the present system under which
our city affairs are administered, are aware
that the heads of committees are authorized
to make contracts for improvements and re-
pairs in their respective departments, and in
cur liabilities as they may deem proper or
necessary. The bill OF Capt, Davis proposes
an entire change in this system. 1t provides
that whenever an apparent necessity arises for
the expenditure of any money in any depart
ment, the Mayor shall be called upon to en-
quire into the matter; and if it is a street inn
provement, TO secure the aid of the City En-
gineer. Should they deem the proposed i'm
provement or outlay unnecessary, they will so
report to the Board of Aldermen, whose judg-
ment shall be final. Should they decide 9TH
erwise, they will ascertain the lowest figure at
which the work can be done, decide upon the
plan, &C., and so report to the Board, whose
action shall be final as before. This imposes
the responsibility of expending money upon
the Mayor and Aldermen, ia Committee of the
whole, and must necessarily result in a salutary
reform. As we have before remarked, this is
an important bill, and though no doubt sus-
ceptible of some amendments-tO perfect it, it
should receive the attention of our Aldermen.
