RATHER TOUGH.

The following story was told in Sandus-
Ky, Ohio, and appears in the Massillun -N"~s,
which says:
\ party Of young men in that ancient ci-
ty amusc their leisure moments at the hotels
in drawing Il long bow, or telling wonderful
varuS to each other for the benefit of those
apparently v.rdant, whomay happen to come
in from other parts. They tried the effect
of Il few extraordinary wolf stories upon !,
venerable and scdatc customer not long since
who had come to spend the night at the best
hotel, and he listened to them with much APP
parent surprise and intcrst until their stock
! appeared to have run out and the convcrsa-
ton haggcd, when he remarked that he had
been much interested in the news they had
given him, relative to the primcval inhabi-
tants of the country; but regarded an event
t in his early life as more peculiar than any
they had named. said he:
when young man, | was travelling in
Western New York, and late of stormy
night applied at log cabin for lodging
The occupant, woman, refused it, saying
that her husband and SONS were out hunting
and if they found me there, would murder
me. I preferred the chance to the storm,
and she consented that might lie down be-
fore the fire. In the night heard them
coming, and scrambled up the chimney.
Thinking I was safe when at the top, I
stepped over the roof, and, jumping down at
the back of the cabin, jumped plump into a

wolf trap 4 scream Of pain broug Int the
man and the boys out, and they declared l
deserved more severe punishment than
death, so they kept me both in the trap and
in suspense until morning, and then, head
ing me up in hogshead with no air or light
but through the bung hole, they put ME on
sled and drove me some four miles up a
hill and there rolled me off to starvc. This
I undoubtly should have done but for a
very singular occurrence. The wolves smell
led me out and gathered round my prison,
when one of them in turning round happen
ed to thurst his tail into the bunghole. 1t
was my only chance. I caught firm hold and
held on like 'grim death to dead nigger,
which frightened the wolf, of course, and he
started down the bill, followed by hogshead
and me. 1t was very uneasy ride, over
the stones and stumps; but had no idea
how long it was until the hogshead striking
stone fairly, the slaves, worn by long trav-
Ell, were broken in and jumped out to find
myself away down in the lower end of Cat

scene of the disaster Good night, gentle

BENEFITS OF SNOW.

1t is with some feelings of regret and dis
comfort, that farmers as well as other men,
regard the approach of winter. That during
several months, there must continue an ex-
hausting drain upon the accumulations Of the
year, without any replenishing stream to coun-
terbalance its effects, is fact not pleasant to
contemplate, especially if an individual hap
pens to be straightened in supply. Hence,
when a storm of snow occurs early in the
season, as one did in this locality on the 18th
ult., the inquiry naturally arises of what
benefit is snow? We see its evil effects in
the wretched state in which it places ourroads;
in the strained and broken manner it leaves
our streets, especially if it comes, as in this
instance, before they have been defaliated by
the wind and frost in the downcast and sor-
ry look it gives to all animated nature, man
included.
1t is not our purpose to assert the value
of an untimely snow, and more than that
of an untimely frost. Any one of the phe-
nomena of nature may be attended with
evil consequence, however beneficial and ne
cessarv in a general way. Too much rain or
too little; too backward season or too for
ward and thousand things generally bene-
fetal, may be specially injurious. Nature
works by general laws, and in their impair
tial administration, does not stop to inquire
whether or not this mans seed is sown or that
mans harvest is secure.
Snow, in ATTITUDES where the temperature
is sufficiently low for it to fall, is of vital i'm
portancc to vegetable life. Its peculiarly
porous structure renders it an exceedingly
bad conductor of caloric and hence when
covering, anything either warm or cold, and
greatly differing in temperature from the SNOW
itself, or from surrounding objects, it requires
long period Of time for the equilibrium
to be restored.
If the earth becomes early covered with
SHOW and before the ground is frozen, it will
remain above freezing point during the entire
winter, even though atmosphere temperature
should 20 down many degrees below zcro.-
So decided in its protection, that if the soil
be penetrated with frost to the depth of scv-
cral inches before the fall Of snow comes on,
the caloric of the subsoil will remove the
frost, Notwithstanding the atmosphere has
not at any time risen much above freezing
point. We were, when boy, much puz-
zlcd with this phenomenon. The ground
had been frozen like stone before the snow
fell on it, the weather continuing many weeks
below freezing point; and yet afterwards on
removing the snow, the ground was found
thawed out, and easily lifted with shovel
Of course a boys reason was given for this
circumstance, viz that the snow was warm,
and had thawed out the ground, instead of
the true one, that its conducting proper
ties had intercepted the radiation of the heat
from the lower strata of the soil, and this

Colts should be regularly fed and watered;
their food, to consist of ground oats, wheat
bran and sweet hay, in quantities sufficient
to promote their growth.
Another bad system is, that of not provid-
ing proper shelter for such animals; they are
often exposed to the vicissitudes of weather,
under the false notion of making them tough
and harry. I know not what the benevo-
lence of some men consists of when they suf-
fer poor uncomplaining brute to endure
both neglect and hunger without remorse.
Equally unwise are those men who confne
their colts too close, unventilated and filthy
stables, deprived of light, exercise, and pure
air. Can we wonder at their wretched ap-
pearance? Colts should be groomed every
day; clean skin favors the yitalization of
the blood. They should be permitted to
gambol about as much as they choose. Ex-
ercise develops muscle, makes an animal ac-
tive and spirited, and increases the capacity
of lungs and chest. BY the above means,
and proper attention to the principles Of
breeding, the business of raising colts may be-
come both creditable and proftable.-Ame-

THE WASHINGTON SPECTATOR.

TIME SPECTATOR is PRINTED IN THE
Il Quarto FORM on double royal sheet Of supe-
rior paper; and is devoted to bellies lettres, and
scientific and miscellaneous intelligence The
aim Of the publisher is to make it welcome visi-
tor to ever household, where sound knowledge and
correct moral sentiment can be appreciated
With this view he eschews all the senseless twad-
die, under the name ofliterature, which serves on
ly to beguile idle moments; and strives to confne
the matter of the SPECTATOR, to that which will
leave useful impressions on the minds of its read
ers. Besides large weekly amount Of matter ap-
propriate to papers purely literary the SPECTA-
TOR contains summaries of government doings in
Congress and the Executive Departments the
important news of the day, foreign and domestic;
reviews of finance and markets; notices of new
books, new discoveries in art and science new
inventions, including weekly list of patents is
sued from the Patent Office; articles on education;
on agriculture, business and domestic economy;
and candid essays upon the leading topics of the
day.
Though entertaining for themselves decided
views on questions of political economy and relig-
ious belief, the editors do not purpose to give to
the paper a partizan or a sectarian character -
The discussion of these subjects they leave for pa-
pers established for such purpose. At the same
time they reserve to themselve the right to expose
in all forms; and of offering, when they deem oc-
casion to require it, their opinions and reasons
therefor on seperate questions involving the inte-
rests and vested rights of the people among whom
we are located, without thereby subjecting them
selves to charge Of violating any pledge.
One of the editors (Mr. Hayne,) will remain for
the present. and probable spend most Of his time,
ut his residence in Charleston s. c., an arrange
ment we think, better enabling him to furnish
matter of local interest to that section Of the Un
ion, and affordng some convenience to our friends
and those whom we hope to have for patrons, in
that vicinity.

day, and furnished to subscribers by mail at the

CARE OF COLTS AFTER WEAVING.

An opinion generally prevails among far
mers, that from the time the foal is taken
from its dam up to coming maturity, it should
not be 'pushed," as the saying is nor fed on
grain, for fear it might injure one so young
and tender This accounts for the great
number of moping, or spiritless, and unthrif-
ty colts that are scarcely able to drag one
leg after the other. Their very appearance,
cadaverous and pitiful looks, seem to convey
to the mind of every sensible man that they
are the victims of wretched system of star
vation, which enervates the digestive organs,
impairs the secretions, and impoveyishes the
blood. Hence the deficiency in the develop
ment of bone and muscle. The muscles and
tendons being so ill-supplied with material
for growth and development become weak,
and afford but little support to the bones
and joints, so that the former become crook
ed and the latter weak, defects which no af-
ter feeding, no skill in training, can counter
act. The digestive organs of these young
animals are not calculated to extract nutri-
ment from such inferior provender as many
of them get: consequently the cravings of
hunger compel them often to gorge them
selves with the same, merely to keep the vi
tai spark ignited. The result is that they
over distcnd the stomach and bowels and be-
come spot be1ied" Such miserable mode
of feeding is the principal cause of the gene
ration of intestinal worms: on the discovery
; of which the owner cries out worms! and
thinks he has discovered the cause of the
colts unthriftincss and then commences
drugging the animal for thesamc with vermi-
fugcs that would oftimcs kill a mcN animal
to say the least, many of the extolled drugs
prove more injurious to the digestive organs
than to the worms. And suppose he sue
cceds in physicing off the worms they ap-
pear again, and the case is as bad even worse,
than before; because physic debilitates the
animal. Whereas, the owner should remove
the cause, which exists in the form of innu-
tritivc diet.
I 1t should be known to breeders that from
! the time of birth up to maturity, colts re-
quirc food abounding in flesh making prin-
ciples, heterogeneous compounds oats, corn,
&c., otherwise they must necessarily be de-
fcient in size, symmetry, and powers Of en-
durance.
This truth may be illustrated by analogy.
For example, we desire to raise to perfection
and full proportion, any particular vegetable
production. In order to do so we may Sc
lect soil or furnish the same with the ele-
ments of the organized tissues of such vege-
table, or how can We expect it to become
perfected Just so with the colt; the ele-
ments of its organized tissues must assist in
proper quantity and quality Of food.

Southern Literary Messenger.
FOR THE YEAR 1856

In issuing the Prospectus of the twenty-second
i volume of the SOUTHERN LITERARY MES
SENGER, the Proprietors rely solely on the en-
couraging letters and promises of the friends of
the Messenger to aid them in extending its cir
culation, and they beg to assure the public that
no exertons will be remtted on their part to main
tain the high character of the work, and to chal-
enge the patriotism Of all who value sterling lit
cry merit. For Twenty-one years the Messenger
has endeavored to reflect faithfully the Southern
mind, while disdaining oil narrow and sectional
views, and has been alone among the monthly Pc
riodicals of America in defence Of the peculiar
Institutions Of the Southern States. To this Of
fee it will still be devoted, and will be prompt to
repel assaults upon the South, whether they come
under the spccous garb of fiction, or in the direct
form of anti-slavery pamphlets. At this critical
ijuncture, while our enemies are employing litera-
ture as their most potent weapons of attack, the
Southern people will surely not withhold their
encouragement from work whose aim it shall be
to strike blows in their defence.
The Messenger will, as heretofore, present its
readers with Reviews, Historical and Biographical
Sketches Novels, Tales, Travels, Essays, Poems,
Critiques, and Papers on the Army, Navy, and
other National Subjects.
With view to ensure larger circulation of
the Messenger, the Proprietors, though they in
tend greatly increasing the size of the work, have
reduced the Price of Subscription, which is now
only THREE DOLLARS PER ANNUM, IN AD-
VANCE, or Four Dollars if not paid before the
first of July in any year.
CLuBs-Remitting US Fifteen Dollars in one letl
ter, will be entitled to Six Copies The Editoria-
and Critical department of the Messenger will
continue under the charge of JOHN R. THOMP-
son, Esq, and will embrace copious notes on
current literature and reviews of all new Ameri-
can or Foreign works of general interest and val
ue. The Editors opinions will always be honesty
and feaflessly avowed.
The business department is conducted by the
undersigned. to whom all communications of a bu-
siness nature must be addressed.

DRINK LESS WITH YOUR MEALS

DRINK LESS WITH YOUR MEALS.
One great error we commit is that we drink
too much at our meals. Before we have suf-
ficiently masticated and insalivated our food
to enable US to swallow it, we force it down
by taking water or warm drinks. This not
only dilutes the saliva, but weakens the ac-
ton of the gastric juice after the food gets
into the stomach. Most persons take swal.
low of fluid with almost every mouthful OF
food Look along the side Of dinner table
in any of our hotels, and you will be surprl-
sed at the quantities which are drunk during
the meal and, if your mind be not too much
taken up with observing the errors Of others,
you may discover the same evil in yourself,
and thus be lead to correct it. This habit,
sooner or later, ends in producing dyspepsia
and constipation, than which there are no af-
fections more destructive of comfort and
health. When we are thirsty, at our meals
or at other times, we should drink to allay
such thirst only. All solid food should be
thoroughly ground and mixed with saliva in
the mouth, unaided and undiluted by water
or other drinks. Rely upon it, this apparent
necessity for drinking is a mere habit which
we can correct at will, andall who prize health
at its true value will not consider its prcscr-
vation or purchase too high at the cost Of at
tcntion to SO simple matter.
In this age of tobacco smoking and chew
ing the salivary glands seem to be turned to
new oficc-that of cleansing this filthy mar
cotic from the teeth and gums. Were they
endowed with language, verify might they
cxclaim-
ITO what vile uses have We come at last"
Whocan wonder at the hollow and wan checks
of mankind, when such continuous drain
is established upon them-a kind of perpet-
ual cuturrh or Mchrin,oSis of the mouth
Take warning bywhat We say: If you would
have good digestion, proper action of the
system, and full ruddy checks, cat slower,
masticatc your food better, drink less at your
meals and you who smoke, if smoke you
will, avoid splitting as much as possible. The
latter have two-fold reason for observing our
last Injunction they will save, at the same
time, their own health and the feelings of
their friends.
