GALLANTRY = Fontenelle, at the age

GALLANTRY. = Fontenelle, at the age
of ninetyseven, after saying many amiable
and gallant things to the young and beau
tiful Madam Helvetius, passed her once
without perceiving her. "See," said she,
stopping and addressing him, "how
ought to value your gallantries. You pass
me without even looking at me-
Madam" said the old man, 'if had
looked at you [ could not have passed"
81 have found" says Addison, +" that
the men who are really the most fond of
ladies-who cherish for them the highest
respect are seldom the most popular with
the sex. Men of great assurance, whose
tongues are lightly hung-who make words
supply the places of ideas, and place
compliment in the room of sentiment
are their favorites. A due respect for
women leads to respectful action towards
them; and respect is mistaken by them
for neglect, or want of love-"

7 A BIT OF ADvIcE.-Have you enemies
Go straight on and don't mind them. If
they get in your way, walk around them,
regardless of their spite. A man that has
no enemies is seldom good for anything
he is made of that kind of material which
is SO easily worked that every one has a
hand in it. A sterling character-one who
thinks for himself, and speaks what he
thinks, is always sure to have enemles.-
They are as necessary to him as fresh air
they keep him alive and active A cele-
brated character, who was surrounded by
enemies, used to remark "They are
sparks which if you do not blow will go
out themselves Let this be your feeling,
while endeavoring to live down the scan
dial of those who are bitter against you
If you stop to dispute, you do but as they
desire, and open the way for more abuse
Let the poor fellows talk-there will be re-
action, if you perform but your duty, and
hundreds who were once alienated from
you, will flock to you and acknowledge their
error.

WHERE IS He THE Hon. Edward
MCGOWAN really appears to have "gone UP
like rocket, and come down like astick."
Meteor-like, he shot across the sky of Sac
ramento, and, meteor-hke, he seems to
have gone out innothingness in and oblivion.
We hear nothing of him; where is he?-
But few days ago, his arrival at the cap
tai was chronicled, and Immediately his
legislative friends went to work to pass a
bill for his relief" Under an indict-
ment, as he was, for high crime, no ac-
tive measures were taken, that we have
heard of, to secure his arrest, and to bring
him within the jurisdiction of the court
IN which the Indictment against him was
found. With reward offered for him as
a fugitive from justice, he walked about
the streets of Sacramento, and nobody
molcsted him, nobody seemed disposed to
interfere for the purpose of bringing him
to justice.
Latterly we hear nothing of him. The
Sacramento papers 'breathe not his name;"
and we have come to the conclusion that
the Sacramento MCGOWAN was either
myth, or base imitation" of the origl-
nal genuine Ned If Ned MCGOWAN has
really been in Sacramento all this while,
somebody is seriously to blame for the fact
that he has not been arrested, as any or
binary fugitive from justice would have
been. Again we ask, "where is he ?"-

A SERMON THAT DID NOT SUIT.-Mrs.
H was very religious woman, and
perhaps came as near worshipping Mr..
N, her favorite minister, as some of
our people do Kossuth, the Hungarian
but be that as it may, she was continually
hammering Aaron, a shrewd lad of sixteen
years of age, who, to poster the old lady
AID hear her scold, would speak rather
lightly of Mr.. N, her minister.
Happening in at the house of Mrs.
N one day, the old lady began, as
usual, to chastise him, and Aaron think
ing she put it on rather hard, after hear
ing her through, said
Pm as good as Mr.. N, and can
preach as well.0
Preach p said the old lady, "you don't
know one single word in the Bible"
Well, give me text" said Aaron,
" and see if | can't preach"
You don't know anything about the
Bible said Mrs. H, " if you do you
take any text you please"
"W ell, f" said Aaron, GA virtuous woman
is without price, amt that in your BIZ
ble
Yes" said Mrs. H, "anditshows
that women are better than men, for the
Bible don tsay that virtuous man is with
out price"
Well, we will see about that" said
Aaron, and after dividing his subject into
two or three heads, commenced as follows:
"The scarcity of an article, in all cases,
governs the price, and for that reason it is
without price Now, if there were any
yirtuous women, there would be a price,
and a high one too by reason of the scar
city but as there is none
At this stage of the discourse the old
lady seized the broom
"Aaron," said she, "you are an impu-
dent brat, and if you don't clear out, I
will pelt you with the broom handle :"
Aaron made tracks into the road, finish
ing the sentence, they are without price,
as he went through the door, which the
old lady closed after him with considerable
force.

HoRsEs-Those who have the care of
horses are frequently very negligent in the
manner Of discharging their duty. There
is no animal in existence so susceptible to
the effects of dirt, impure air, bad bedding,
ETC., as the horse All excrements in the
horses stable, however small in quantity,
should be removed at least once day, and
clean, dry place left for the animal to
stand or lie downon. Many horse when
stabbed for an hours feeding is placed in
close, filthy place, without breath of pure
air-and there obliged to make his meal.
We would almost as soon think of eating
in such place ourselves, as of compelling
horse to do it. IF you have no windows
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 rusk; the
value of the manure will more than repay
the expense-besides render your horse
healthier
Horses take cold very easily; for this
reason they should never be turned from
warm stall where they have perspired
for an hour, directly into damp pasture.
Neither should horse be left to lie down
over night in damp pasture, where there
IS no shelter, but let shed be built, to
which they can retire at night. A horse
will never lie down in an open lot when he
can find a place Of shelter; and if there is
nothing better, they will always get near
fence or tree at night.
