i cfsss shouIo be EXERCISED
Qaiiy. ....

Horses require daily exercise in the open
air, and can no more be expected to exist
without it, than their owners. Exercise is
an essential feature in stable management,
and like well opportuned food tends alike to
preserve the health of the horses. u.
Daily exercise is necessary for all horses,
unless they are sick it assists and promotes
a free circulation of the blood, determines
morbitic matter to the surface, developes the
muscular structure, creates an appetite, i'm
proves the wind, and finally invigorates the
whole system. We cannot expect much of
a horse that has not been habituated to dali
ly exercise; while such as have been daily
exercised and well managed are capable not
only of great exertion and fatigue, but are
ready and willing to do our bidding at anv
season. When an animal is overworked, il
renders the system very susceptible to what
over morbid influences may be present. and
imparts to the disease they may labor under
an unusual degree of severity. The exhaus-
tion produced by want of rest is equally dan g.
gerous; such horses are always among the
first victims of disease, and when attacked
their treatment is embarrassing and unsalis

The fact we are about to relate has
the very rare merit of truth combined
with the pleasant excitement OF the
wonderful. ses8sasG s
Some time ago a friend of Ours pur-
chased number of picture frames,
tastefully made of acorns and l,and-
somely stained and vanished, which
he placed in his library at his country
house, The ensuing season he and
his family departed on rather distant
tour, and for some months the country
house remained closed and~antenant-
ed. The season was an unusually
damp one during their absence, and
upon their return it was deemed advi-
sable to have their rural homestead
we'll aired and dried by constant fires
i'll all the rooms before inhabitine it
again. Orders to this effect were there
fore despatched, and the opening be-
gan under the direction of the old
housekeeper. Window and door were
flung wide open one after another, let
ting in the sunshine to mildewed walls
and hangings, until the "houschold
corps" arrived at the library, when, as
the first pair of shutters swung back,
the breeze fluttered in and played on
the walls with sound as of rustling
foliage, causing a universal and rather
startled movements of eyes in the di
rection of the mysterious sound. That
the astonishment of the gazers was by
no means lessened when they beheld
the cause of the rustling our readers
will easily credit, when we inform
them that several acorns on each pic
ture frame had sprouted, and a. grove
of miniatue oaks were gently waving
their tiny boughs and futtering their
dark green leaflets around the males
tic brows of Washington, and Frank
lin, and Adams, and half dozen 9th
ers of our venerable fathers of the Re
public. Nature herself has broker
through her accustomed laws to crown
these patriot heroes with her owl
wreaths of honor, and offer, even i.
her dying struggles, this beautiful tri
butte to their memory.

good story:
A friend Of mine somewhat fond vf star

brought out on his front piazza, his telescope,
to enable him more clearly to witness the in.

instrument towards the northwestern potion
of the armament; when the motion arrested
the attention of rustic then passing, who
followed with bis eyes the motion OF my
friend. At this moment brilliant meteor
shot across the sky, my friend unconsciously
gave utterance to his delight, when what
was his astonishment to hear from the lips
of the aforesaid rustic, the following remark I:

70 ths Woiss ana TO the Bats.

SOME time ago an English Christian was
travelling in the south of India, and in the
course of his journey he passed by many de-
serted temples. At length he came near to
one of these temples, which was very large
where in former years, thousands Of people
from all parts Of the country worshipped a
great idol, which was thought to be very
holy and very powerful. AS he had heard
great deal about this building, he went to
see it. He found it was now quite ruin.
The roof had fallen in, the walls were crum-
bling down, and grass and weeds and shrubs
were growing from the floor of this once sa,
cred spot. Having looked around him for
little while, he saw the passage which led
to the place where the idol was, and he
went towards it but no sooner had he en-.
tered than large number of bats flew on.
against him. AS he did not much like his
company, and found that many of these
cyeatures were still clinging to the roof and
walls, he went back, got light, and having
set fire TO some dry grass, he flung it into
the place. Immediately flock of bats came
flying out. His way was cleared, and he
walked through the passage. But on enter
ing the sacred spot within, the first thing he
saw was the great Idol fallen from It's pedes-
tal, and lying upon the ground covered with
filth. AS he looked upon the object, in the
presence Of which SO many thousands Of
poor blinded heather had trernbled and
worsbipped, he rejoiced greatly and you
may suppose that, as it called to mind the
prophecy, "They shall cast their idols to the
moles and to the bats" he thanked God that
he had seen his word SO strikingly fulfilled"

RED FLANNEL SHIRrs.-Put it on at once,
winter or summer, nothing better can be
worn next the skin than a loose, red wooden
shirt; "loose," for it has room to move on
the skin, thus causing titilation which
draws the blond to the surface and keeps
it there; and when that is the case no one
can take cold; red" for white flannel fill
up. mats together, and becomes tight, stiff.
heavy and impervious. Cotton wool merely
absorbs the moisture from the surface, while
woolen flannel conveys it from the skin ami
deposits it in drops on the outside of the
shirt, from which the ordinary cotton shirt
absorbs it, and by its nearer exposure to the
air, it is soon dried without injury to the
body. Having these properties, red wool.
en- flannel is worn by sailors even in mid
summer Of the hottest countries. Wear q
thinner material in summer.-Hunt's Jour-
