THE HORSE.

Ihe Partington is well advanced in hisf 3
lclass. He is in some things beyond ths "a
teachers art, and could, in fact, give that
functionary some lessons in arts wherein
be Is perfect. Ike dislikes "composi-
tion,' where theme is given out to be .
written upon by scholars, and his credits
are not very great for his efforts in that II
direction generally; but the other day he !.
astonished the master and every one in
horse. He was called upon to read il
aloud to the scholars, and on getting upon
the platform, he made bow and began.
"IHe Horse. The horse is a quadru4.
ped with four legs, two behind and two.
before. He has tail tnat grows to the
hind part of his body, that nature has
furnished him with to drive the flies away.
His head is situated on the other end OPP I,
lposise his tail, and is used principally to,
fasten bride to him by, and to put into
a basket to eat oats with. Horses are
very useful animals, and people couldn't
get along very well without them, espe-
cialIy truckmen and omnibus drivers, who
don't seem to be, half grateful enough be-
cause they've got 'em. They are very
convenient animals in the country. In va
cation time, and go very fast oser the
country roads, when the boys sti, pms
in them, Il aspecies Of cruelty that Two I'D
not encourage. Horses are generally
covered with red hair, though some are
white, and others are gray and black.
Nobody ever saw blue horse, which is
considered very strange by eminent natu-
ralists The horse is quiet and intel
! ligent animal, and can sleep standing up,
which is O very convenient gift. especially
where there is crowd, and it is difficult
TO get o chance to lay. There is great
variety of .herses-fast horses and slow
horses, clothes horses, horse mackerel,
saw horses, horse flies, horse chestnut.
chestnut horse, and horse radish. The
clothes horse is o very quiet animal to
have around house, and is neyersknown
to kick though very apt to make row
| when it gets capsized. The same may be
said of the saw-horse,. which will stand
without tying. The horse-fy is a vicious
beast, and very annoying in the summer
when a fellow is in swimming. Horse
mackerel / don't know anything about,
only they swim in,ethe water, and are q
| species of fish. Horse chestnuts are
prime to pelt Mickies with; and horse
radish is a mighty smart horse, but bad
to have standing around where there are
Fchidren The horse is found in all coun-g
tries, principally in livery stables, where
they may be hired by the mile, and are
considered by them as can get money Q
great luxury, especially in the sleighing
season. In South America they grow
wild, and the Indians catch them with
nooses that they throw over the horses,
heads, which must be throught by the
horses great nonsence." .

A CalIfornIn Wife.

We have been told that when j ohn
Biglcr, late Governor Of the State of Cal
iforuia, was Il member of the State
Legislature, Mrs, his wife, absolutely
washed the clothes of the honorable gen-
tlemen for so much dozen. At the time
of his election, Bigler was very poor and
his per diem was hardly enough for
himself and his wife to live on in these
prodigal times. To make both ends meet
and to save something against a rainy
day, Ma'tam BigIer put her shoulder to
the Wheel as above related.
Now, won't this be rather startling to
the I,aiu-taced attenuated damsels of the
East, who scream and faint at the sight
of il wash tub or cob-web? Think of it.
The wife of an Ex-Governor, with her
sleeves and gown tucked up, bending over
the waSh-tub, while her husband, with his
clean dicky standing upright, chaling his
ears, rose TO Il question OF privilege, "Mr.
Speaker! Mr.. S-p-e-ak-e-r !" And then
think of the eX-washcrwoman being feted
three years after, as the wife OF the Gov
ernor of the State of California worth
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars !!
money enough to make the heads of uni
versal snobdom buck and dive like an
affrighted waterfowl in a thunderstorm
Good for the Pennsylvania Dutch girl!
Five hundred years hence when the histo-
rian lifts the veil from the catacombs of
the past, and writes the history of the
uniorgotten dead, he may, perhaps, ap-
pend this little episode to the history of
one of California's Governors; and the
little ragged g1rls that then go down to
dip water from the Rio Sacramento, may
thiuk better Of their mothers who have to
j labor because long time ago Mrs. John
/ B;gler the Governors wife, filled her wash
! tub from the same noble river.
4 These are the pioneer women of Cali
1 fornia; there are many such, strong-willed
and as true, who quail not at their own
footsteps in the woods, whose hearts swell
with hope at t.E.s

WUODSFIELD MONROE COUNTY, OHIO DECEMBER H. 1856

giddy crowd with an air Of utter abstrac-
ton, she sat herself down on the steps of
the orchestra and looking about for some
time with . vacant air, that showed her
inscnsihilitv 10 the garish scene, she began
with the capriciousness Of sickly heart,
to warhle a little plaintive air. She had
an exquisite voice, but on this occasion it
was so simple, so touching, it brealhed
forth such soul of wretchedness, that
she drew a crowd mute and silent around
her. and melted every one into tears.
The story of one so true and tender
could not but excite great interest in a
country so remarkable for its enthusiasm.
1t completely won the heart Of brave
officer. who paid his addresses TO her, and
thought that one so true to tfS dead could
not but prove alfcctionate to the living.
She declined his attentions, for her thoughts
were irrcvocably engrossed by the memo
~ Of her former lover He however per-
sisted in his suit. He solicited not her
tenderness, hut her esteem. He was as
sisted by her conviction of his worth, and
her sense of her own destitute and de-
pendent situation, for she was existing on
the kindness of friends. In a word, he
at length succeeded in gaining her hand,
though with the assurance her heart was
unalterably another's.
He took her with him to Sicily, hoping
that change OF scene might wear out the
remembrance Of early woe. She was an
amiablc and exemplary wife, and made an
effort to be happy one; but nothing
could cure the silent and deyouring mel
ancholy that had entered into her very
soul She wasted in slow and hopeless
decline, and at length sunk into the grave,
the victim of broken heart.
1t was on her that Moore, the distin-
guished Irish poet composed the follow
ing lines:
She is far from the land where her young hero
sleeps,
And lovers around her are signing;
But coldly she turns from their gaze and weeps,
For her heat i'll his grave is lying.
He had lived for his love-for his country he
died;
They were all that to life had entwined him
Not soon shall the tears of his country be dried,
Nor long viii his love stay behind him.
Oh make her q grave where the sunbeams rest ;
Where they promise glorious morrow,
They IL smile DER her sleep like smile from
the west,
Hom her own loved Island of sorrow.

Saturday, thinking to spend the Sabbath

NoetTp,
FALL OF THE LEAF.


Withered leaves are round us falling,
To the wintry blast they bend,
Whispering in accents mou:nful,
"All things beautiful must end
Nature robbed of all her glory,
Bends unwillingly her head,
Like 4 broken hearted mother
Weeping Der her cherished dead!
All, those leaves once green AMI lovely,
Oft halted them rs my friends:
Now no pleasing thought they bring me,
TO my heart no beauty lends.
Yes! they bring sweet remembrance
Of the happy, happy past;
They are types to me and shadows
OF eternal life at last.
Withered leaves are round US falling,
To the faintest breeze they bend;
Yet their falling is a token
That this life is not our end.
Yes! on every leaf is written,
In my mind a holy thought
Yes! the hope of life upspringing
From the grave by them is brought.
Though they're withered now and falling
Down to earth their native tomb,
Yet the parent stalk viii flourish,
And with fresh leaves bud and bloom.
So our mortal frames will perish,
Like the falling leaves and sere
Yet again will bloom and flourish,
In a bright eternal sphere.

.younr Mems Christian Association"

A highly interesting meeting OF the "Young
Mems Christian Association of Stanton" was
held at the Methodist Episcopal Church, on Tues
day evening, the llh inst. Mr.. Abel, the ener.
eetic and efficient President Of the Association.
read his report, from which we were pleased to
learn that the organization is moving on as sue
cessfully as could be expected Accessons are
made 10 its members at every meeting. The as
ISOLATION was addressed by the Rev. Jos. R.
Wilson, at considerable length and much to the
qualification of the audience. The Rev. Mr..
Castleman, Chairman of the Committee on Lii
brary SC, made report, accompanying it with
some important suggestions. Mr.. Shelley Chair
man of the Committee on Lectures, reported that
the Rev. Geo. d. Cummings, of Washington
City would deliver lecture before the Associa-
ton on the 9th inst. Mr.. Cummings is cele-
brated and eloquent Divine, and rich treat may
be expected DR.. Burrows, of Richmond has also
consented to deliver a lecture, probably in the
month OF April.
In view of the interest manifested in the Asso-
citation throughout the community,lts friends have
great cause for cougratulatiou, and we trust that
they will not permit their interest and energetic
efforts to falter for moment. 1t is noble cause
in which they have embarked, worthy of un'
wearied degence and self-sacrificing labor.
