A WRINKLE ABOUT THE AGE OF
a. HORSES. -

a few days ago we met gentleman
from Alabama, who gave US a piece of in.
formation in regard TO ascertainino the
age of a horse, after he or she has passed
the ninth year, which was new t, us. and
will be, wcare sure, to most OF our readers,
1t is tas: after the horse is nine years old.
wrinkle comes on tho eyelid, a, the mn
per CO rner of the lower lid, aud every wear
thereafter he has one well defined wrinkle
to' each year of his age over nine. IT. for
Instance, horse has three wrinkles, hc is
twelve: if four, he is thirteen. Add the
number OF wrinkles TO nine and YOU Ill
always get it, So says the gentleman ;
and he is confident Il will never fail. As
good many people have horses over nine,
it is easily tried lftrue, the horse DENTS,
must give up his trade.
We believe the best judges have rule
wtich they rely Oh as infalhbe 20 the age
OF fourteen. The horse has six incisors
"nrpref8," as they nro commonly called
the front teeth. They hive snch n
dent in them, Just like the lent in courd
seed corn, and ARE hence called gourd seed
at four years old, the front pair at bottom,
! lose the gourd seed, become smooth; Il,
SIX, The next two-oue on each side n,
eight, the hext pair, which completes the
bottom sett. AT ten, the front upper pair
becomes smooth; at twelve, the next pair
at fourteen, the last pair. After this the
"'ink!e" may come into play.
Another indication upon which we are
told the late VIM. l.. johnson rali.I ,n
ascertain ,hc age of the horse, WAS an in.
spection OF the termination 6f the lachrv.
m"l luc;, which opens into the scpiuE,, or
caru!aginous division Of the nose on ca,
side, an inch or two above the nos,riI-
Any one on examination will easily find
these orlilceS; but 1t requires good dca!
OF practice and nice eye to apply this
test. II is said that it enlarges With the
age OF the animal Southern Ear.,aer.

The terror of thy stormi'st guisc
Is Fascination TO the eyes.
1cs. human love can cen be won
By that it fears TO look upon
hiag'ra seated on thronc,
Man doth thy proud dominion own;
Thy beauty aud thy rage, combined,
Assert a mnst'ry o'cr tho mind;
The fancy bind with magic spell.
The heart with sympathetic swell.
=
His footsteps in thy wonders lurk;
His finger, in thy pride of place,
Our mortal ken can plainly trace
God Glorious in Holiness!
In praises fearful, whom we bless.
Niag'ra' With thy glorious robe,
Thou art the wonder Of the globe
Not cen Mont Blanc, with nler dc clacc,
Can thy magnifcence surpass,
Behind thy sheet at Horse Shoe Fall,
The NaiadS hold their audience hall:
Who trcads the brink of that abyss
Bcholds thee boil ard foam and hiss,
And sinks in utter li,tleness.
Who darcs TO see tn Eolian cave,
Courts winding sheet and wat'ry grave
Unless soEic guide, with tread secure.
Conducts where winds and waters roar.
who can behold thy march sublimc--
Coeval with the march of Time
VINO can survey thy glorioua state,
Without heart, soul, elatc
Who can attend thy dreadful roar
And not thy Maker-Gop--adore,
In view OF thy great mystery
Or thy Creators majesty
How lowly man his smalncss feels,
AS ut Niag'ra shrine he knceis':
Bows soul and body PROSTATE down
To Him who doth Niag'ra crown.
All nature joins 10 hymn thy praise.
