HORSEBACK RIDING.-N. 7. Willis, in one
OF his 'lnvalid letters thus speaks of the
therapeutic Virtues of horseback riding:
ut was secret which l did not discover
by books: that exercise, with the legs of
horse to do the work, distributes the blood's
fullness and freshness to the extremities; but
that exercise with your own legs to do the
work, draws the fullneSs and freshness from
the extremi les to the center. Life and
strength, that is to say, are centrifugal if YOU
exercise OH horseback -centripetal if YOU ex-
ercise on foot. 10 test this Won have only to

man) have disappeared wholly or become
lndlstinct Then, look in the glass on your
return IRON walk of equal exercise and
you will see just the contrary your eyes
sunken and the lines of your face deepened

lively the fresh colored fullness of

It is well that Preston S. Brooks died in
his bed-that he was struck down by Divine,
and not by human hands-that ITO son Of
Massachusetts, suliied the fair fame Of Jour
State as peaceful and civilized community
by taking upon himself to avenge her wrongs.
Providence has death with him in It's own
way and at its own time. He has passed from
earth, leaving behind him a name condemned
to everlasting infamy, by terrible act OF pnsa
sion, which We most sincerely hope, for his
own sake, was not just exhibition of his
general character and state Of mind. We are
willing to believe, as his friends allege in his
behalf, that his attack on Mr.. Sumner was the
result of morbid excitement, and not of hab-
itual ferocity.
