Abolition Literature Declining.

| 1t is really refreshing in these times of
political excitement and studied misrepre-
senta:iOn to observe occasionally enc of
those great truths which underlie the tran
sltion soil forming the surface of things,
cropping out and staring the world in the
face, to the utter dismay of the onc-idea
enthusiasms who believe that every thing
lives, and moves, and has its being, through
the vitality of the one little notion that is
TO them the koh-i-noor, the ''mountain OF
light" to the Universe. OF this character
is the reception, or rather the failure of
the new fiction of Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe, with the public both in America
and Europe. Aided by circumstances, the
absence of any exciting topic in the lite
rary world, the novelty and boldness of the
invented facts, and the pleasing freshness
of new pen, the first work of this lady
became fashion, and obtained factitious
/ reputation for her as writer The book
was the novelty of the season, and as such
it was eagerly seized upon by the penny-a-
liners, and even editors and grave review
ers followed in their wake, because the
public was, for the time, willing to read
any thing that came with the caption of
''Uncle Tom"
But the work itself had as little connec-
ton with the great strata that lie deep in
the human heart, as has the alluvium
borne by the waters of the Mississippi with
the granite mass that forms the foundation
of the phyical world. 1t was only part,
and a very insignificant part at that, of the
1T +I~& Il,
tion surface of the moral world, and its
appearance upon the panorama of time,
resembled exactly that of some of those
new metals which science so often presents
to us in minute quantities, glittering and
bright, forming the subject of momentary
gossip and profound comment upon the
nature of things, but impracticable to the
arts, puzzling to philosophers, and useless
to mankind in this utilitarian age
That such is the exact estimate in which
Mrs Stowe and her class of politico-phi-
lanthropic writer's is held by the practical
world of both continents is eminently ap-
parent. In England her new novel .Dred, +"
has fallen still born upon the market, and
hardly solitary voice is raised there in its
favor The London Atheneum, the lead
ing periodical of the English literary world,
has given it a sharp rebuke and bitter
condemnation. The pungent editor of the
Liverpool Post follows in the same strain.

CARE OF HoRsEs.-Those who have
the care of horses are frequently very neg
ligent. There is no animal in existence
SO susceptible to the affects of dirt, impure
air, bad bedding, &C., as the horse. All
excrements in horses stable however
small in quantity, should be removed at
least once day, and a clean, dry place
left for the animal to stand or lie down
upon. Many horse when stabbed for
an hours feeding, is placed in close,
filthy place, without breath of pure air
there obliged to make his meal. We
would almost as soon think of eating in
such place ourselves as of compelling a
horse to do it. If you have no window in
your stable, by all means, make one at
once, or knock off board, to let in light
and pure air When you have removed
the droppings from the stable at night,
strew the floor with dry straw or muck
the value of the manure will more than
repay the expenses-besides rendering
your horse healthier.-Ardt0r.
