she wishes to assume distinguished and
somewhat noble bearing, not suggestive Of
sweetness, she should say Brush the result of
which is infalliabls. II she would make her
mouth small and pretty, she must say Flip
but if the mouth be already small, and needs
charging, she must say Cabbage. Ladies,
when having their daguerrotypes taken, may
observe these rules with some advantage.
A friend of ours, who is one ofthose invet-
crate fellows that never reads or hears any
thing like the above, but that "itreminds him
of story" begs us to add the following, as
an illustrative anecdote. A lady of his ae.
quaintance, somewhat turned 40, was unfor.
tunately favored with mouth Of very unusual
capacity, aud with lips of such remarkable
filobosity as to heighten the effect of her de-
formity. She was accustomed, on occasions
OF special exposure to the gaze Of the fash
ionable world, to prepare herself for the emer'
gency by putting as good face as possible
upon her misfortune, or as she termed it
"puckeringup" her mouth. One day. having
thus arranged for public promenade, she wal
arrested by her dutitul cook with the question
whether the mutton or the pork with which
the larder was provided, should be served W
for dinner. After repeated unsuccessful at
tempts to. Indicate her wishes, by various sign
and contortons of oountenance, she ut length
desparingly burst open the carefully close(
aperture of her head with the broad ant
unmistakable cry of "po-ark;'' and thel
basted her cook rouudy for having imposed
upon her the laborous operation Of puckerinl
up her mouth again.

A Coop JoKE.-The late chancellor Kent
was one of those men whose innate dignity
enabled him to take in good part familiarity
the result of ignorance and accident. He
was exceedingly fond of martial music; and
hearing the drums Of recruiting party who
had taken station at the corner of the street
beat point of war, he walked out to listen
to it nearer Insensibly he was whstling the
burden OF the tune, when the man of war ac-
costed him thus - You are fond of such
music, then, my fine fellow9 Yes was the
reply. Well, then,' said Sergeant Kite,
why not join us? Good quarters-good
bounty-large bounty! Besides, our captain
is glorious fellow. Why don't you, now !!
You can't do BETTER well, said the Chan
celor, l have one pretty strong objection.
What is it 2 asked the sergeant. why,

What trade is it 2 said the inquisitor. Il

'Whew = muttered the sergeant. Strike up !!

him, leaving the Chancellor to enjoy bis laugh

New STYLE OF BABY.-The police few
days since visited a certain house in this city,
in the expectation Of finding some liquors
"intended for sae." Everything however,
appeared quiet and homelike. The "spirits,"
if about, were invisible. and made no " mani
festatious" of their presence. The good lady
of the house sat at the side of the cradle.
humming lullaby to her helpless little one,
who was sound asleep, and we'll covered up, SO
that the light should MT hurt its "dear little
blue eyes"
One of the officers, however, being the
father of a family, and fond Of babies, thought
he would just peep under the coverlct, and
get glimpse Of its innocent countenance
He did 50, and behold the infant, by some
horrible demoniao influence, was suddenly
changed into cradle full of demijohns, con
tanning spirituous liquors They therefore

the WORKING cows.

Why shoull not coos work for their living,
al well as other females-animal and human !
We were visiting friend the other day, who
owns a small farm, and manages it we'll and,
in the course of our observations about his
premises he called our attention to large
calf. the largest one we ever saw at the early
age of two days old. 1t was beauty: We
wanted also to see the COW that produced such
fruit. He showed her to us. She was well
conditioned, but only of the ordinary size.
He then remarked that the COW belonged to
yoke of COWS. which with two other COWS,
yoked, he had done all his farm work for sew
eral years past, hauling wood, drawing stone,
blowing greensward, narrowing the ground.
hauling manure, &c. They worked as kindly
and more actively than oxen, and appeared
in as good plight, and produced as good calves,
and give as much milk as any lazy COWS, that
did not work. He is quite sure that small
farmer, who has no very heavy work to do
such as logging &C., had much better keep
four COWS, and teach them to work, than to
keep two cows only and one yoke Of oxen.
The expense is less; he will get more milk,
and will be able to perform as much work.
Of course, if he works his COWS, he will give
them extra keeping and this will enable them
to give as much milk whilst they work as less
well-fed and more idle COWS will give. The
females Of our own species work, and some of
them work as hard as men; the females, too,
of the horse genus, equal their mates of the
other sex in the service Of man; why, pray,
should not COWS also be made to perform such
operations as may be consistent with their
health and usefulness in other respects g.

ANEcDOTE OF A SHEEP.

Anecdotes Of animals are always amusing !;
and moreover if observed accurately and told
without establishment, may some day solve
a great problem in philosophy-the distinc-
ton, namely, between the spirit of man that
goeth upward and the spirit of beast that
goeth downward to the earth---a problem that
the great Bishop Luther could not solve, and
left blemish in his argument, but monu-
ment to his candor. The subject of the one
am going to tell happened many years ago,
when l was on urchin of eight or ten, but
remember it well.
One fine summer morning it was nv pro-
vince to aid in driving flock of sheep to the
brook, to be washed, preparatory to. shearing.
The man who had charge of them led the
procession with the salt dish in hand, in which
he ostentationsly ratified some Jumps of salt,
and FROM time to time made pretence of
throwing handful on the ground, to draw
the flock onward from place to place, while I
followed to drive up the loiterers.
The old patriarch of the troop, fine old
buck, led the van of the quadrupeds, and
carefully examined every spot where the false
motion of throwing salt was made, till he was
fully satisfied in his mind that no salt was de.
posted. He then paused, shook his head
with its ample horns, and waiting till the shep.
herd was about rod in advance, charged
upon him from the rear with his whole momen.
tum, fairly raising him off bis feet. I saw,
and from the first comprehended the nance.
yer, but there was so much fun in it, it waf
impossible to give the alarm and when the
man turned to elbow me up" for my tacit
completely, l was rolling on the green sward
in confusion Of laughter so contagious he
was forced to join in it, and let me off with a
rebuke. f@

ORIGIN OF BLACK HAWK.


In various species, animals are now and
then produced possessing some striking supe-
riority, which they impress in marked d5-
gree on their offspring. 1t is well to preserve
all facts in regard to the origin of such ami
mails, as they may serve to form rules Of
guidance in the art of breeding. The writer
of this article has for several years interested
himself in procuring materials relating to the
history Of what is popularity known as the
Morgan family Of horse, including the famous
Black Hawk. The latter animal has Justly
obtained reputation as the sire Of valuable
roadsters and fast trotters, which is believed
never to have been equalIed by any horse in
this country.
The main facts in regard to the origin Of
Black Hawk have been long before the pub
lie. His owners have always represented him
as colt of the well-known fisherman Nor
gam" and although his statement has been
we'll substantiated and has received general
assent, there have been persons, who, from
what motive we will not say, have circulated
story that he was begotten by horse called
=" Paddy" So long as this story was propa.
gated without any responsible authority, il
could hardly be deemed of sufficient conse.
quence to require formal notice; but as it has
lately assumed more tangible form through
a correspondent Of an agricultural periodical u
we have concluded to put the public in pos.
session of such information as will demon
strate its utter groundlesness, and consign it te
perpetual oblivion.
The authorities to which VIC deem it proper
to refer, will be presented in the order, as t.
time, in which they occur. The first is al
extract from letter of Benjamin Thurston
of Lowell, who was for several years the own
er of Black Hawk, under whose training h,
was brought on the trotting course, and BY
whom he was sold to Mr.. Hill in 1874. Unde
date of Oct. 7th, lS47, he says:-
at gives me much pleasure to answer you
letter, as | feel great interest in anything
which relates to Black Hawk. will answe
your questions in the order in which they ar,
asked -
"1st. Black Hawk was raised by Mr.
Twombly, of Greenland, formerly of Dur
ham, N. H. I'd. He was begotten by Sher
man Morgan, owned by Mr.. Bellows at tina
time. Sd. His dam was represented to be
half boodedEngllsh mare, raised in New
Brunswick. She was black, we'll proportion
cd, and Of great speed. Although neve
trained, | think she could trot mile in les
than three minutes"

CHARLES DICKENS SPEECH.

Charles Dickens in late speech upol
Administrative reform, in London, thus hit
off the Old Fogyisn of the opponents of British
Reform =
cages ago savage mode of keeping &C
counts in notched sticks was introduced into
the Court of Exchequer, and the accounts
we're kept much as Robinson Crusoe kept hi,
calender on the desert island. In the course
of considerable revolutions of time the ccle
brated Cocker was born and died multi
tude of accountants, book keepers and actua'
res were born and died. Still official routine
inclined to these notched sticks, as if they
were the pillars of the Constitution, and still
the Exchequer accounts continued to be kept
on certain splints of elm wood called tallies.
In the reign of George Ill an inquiry was
made by some revolutionary spirit whether
pens, ink and paper, and states and pencils
being in existence, this obstenate adherance
to an obsolete custom ought to be continued,
and whether change ought not to be effected.
All the red tape in the country grew redder
at the bare mention of this bold and original
conception, and it took till 1926 to get these
sticks abolished. In 1884 it was found that
there was considerable accumulation of them
and the question then arose, what was t9 be
done with such WORKOUT, worm-eaten, rotten
old bits of wood l dare say there was a
vast amount of minuting, memoranding, and
dispatch-boxing on the mighty subject. The
sticks were housed at Westminster, and il
would naturally occur to any intelligent per.
son that nothing could be easier than to allow
them to be carried away for fire wood by the
miserable poor people who live in that neigh
borhood. However they never had been use
full, and official routine required that they
never should be, and so the order went fortt
that they were to be privately and confden
tally bnrnt. 1t came to pass that they wer
burnt in stove in the House of Lords. Tn
stove, overgorged with these proposterou
sticks, set fire to the panneling the pannelins

A MrsER.--A prisoner, seventy-three years
of age, in the Indiana Penitentiary at Jeffer-
sonville, died on the 9th inst, leaving proper
ty to the amount of 100000 He was at
the time undergoing sentence Of two years
confinement, for having committed forgery to
the amount of twenty-five dollars. 1t is said
that at the time of his arrest he was rendered
counsel who promised to clear him Of the
charge for fee of $500. The characteristic
reply was, that, if convicted, the sentence
would only be for two years, and he didn't
think hs could make his expenses and two
hundred and Fifty dollars year out of the
penitentary, and it would cost him nothing to
live there, and he would save that much,
anyhow!

HYDRoPHoBIA.-Dr. j. NJ. Cummings, in a
letter to the editor of the Tribune, states, in
opposition to DR.. Griscom, that there are
remedies for this formidable disease, as near
specific as can be found in the catalogue OF
medicines. He says there has been quite a
number of cases cured, even after the spasms
have continued some time, by the use of the
lobeta infata and the vapor bath. The tine
ture or the decoction Of this plant may be
administered in large doses and continued fol
some hours or days as the spasms continue tc
decrease.

The number of females born is always
greater than the males by about four per cent.
At twenty years of age this preponderance is
entirely lost and there are as many females
as males. At forty the balance is again the
other way, and then there are more males
than females At seventy the ages are about
even. Beyond the age of forty years the
probabilities of longevity are much greater
for American women than that of men. There
are now four hundred and thirty American
women in the United States above an hundred
