imperatively required by the great law ot
self-preservation. To avoid entangling al
iances has been maxim of our policy ever
since the days of Washington, and its wis
dom no one will attempt to dispute
In short, we ought to do justice in kind
ly spirit to all nations and require justice
from them in return. It is our glory, that
whilst other nations have extended their do
minions by the sword, we have never ac-
quired their territory except by fair pur-
chase, or, as in the case of Texas, by the
voluntary determination of a brave, kindred
and Independent people, to blend their des-
tlnles with our own. Even our acquisitions
from Mexico form no exception. Unwill-
ing to take advantage of the fortune of war
against a sister republic, we purchased these
possessions under the treaty of peace for a
sum which was considered at the time a fair
equivalent
Our past history forbids that we shall in
the future acquire Territory, unless it be
sanctioned by the laws of justice and honor.
Acting on this principle, no nation will have
right to interfere Or to complain if in the
progress of events we shall still further ex-
tend our possessions.
Hitherto, in all our acquisitions, the peo-
pie, under the protection of the American
flag, have enjoyed civil and religious liber-
ty as well as equal and just laws and have
been contented, prosperous and happy
Their trade with the rest of the world has
rapidly increased, and thus every CONNER
cial nation has shared largely in their sue
cessful progress.
] shall now proceed to take the oath pre-
scribed by the Constitution, whilst humbly
invoking the blessing of Divine Providence
on this great Republic.

WASHINGTON LOVED HIS MOTHER.

Immediately after the organization of the
present government, Washington repaired
to Fredericksburg, to pay his humble duty
to his mother, preparatory to, his departure
to New York. An affecting scene ensued.
The son feelingly remarked the ravages tor
turing disease had made upon the aged
frame of his mother, and then addressed
her.
''The people, madam, have been pleased,
by the most fattering unanimity, to elect me
to the Chief Magistracy of the United States,
but before [ can assume the functions of
that Office, I have come to bid you an affec-
tionate farewell. So soon as the public bu-
siness, which must necessarily be encoun-
tered in arranging a new government, can
be disposed Of I shall hasten to Virginia
and''-here the mother interrupted him,
you will see me no more. My great age,
and the disease that is fast approaching nv
vitals, warn me that | shall not be long in

OF dimes departing rapidly.
But we shall see sadder sight,
When duns come in from morn till night,
Commanding every sixpense bright
To be forked over speedily.
Our bonds and due bills are arrayed.
Each seal and signature displayed
The holders they must be paid.
With threats of law and chancery.
Then to despair we'r almost driven,
There's precious little fun in livin'
When our last copprr's rudely riven
From hands that held 1t lovingly.
Bnt larger yet these dues shall grow,
When interests added on below,
Iengthening our chain foot or so,
While gazing at them hopelessly.
''ris so, that scarce have we begun
10 plead for time upon dun,
Before there comes another one,
Demanding pay ferociously.
The prospect darkens; on ye brave,
Who would our very bacon save;
Waive, patrons, all your pretexts waive,
And pay the printer honestly!
Oh, it would yield US pleasure sweet,
A few delinquents now to meet,
Asking Of us clean receipt,
For papers taken regularly.

THE DEAD.
BY K. H. STODDART.

BY K. H. sToDDART.
] think about the dead by day,
dream of them at night,
They seem to stand beside my chair,
Clad in the clothes they used to wear;
And by my bed in white.
The common places of their lives
The lightest words they said,
Revive in me and give me pain,
And make me wish them back again,
Or wish that was dead.
/ would be kinder to them now,
Were they alive once more;
Would kiss their cheeks, and kiss their hair
And love them like the Angels there
Upon the silent shore.

HORsEs-STABLEs.

Most stables are constructed in direct yio-
lation of every law Of nature. They are
made to slope from the hay rack back to the
heels of the horse, when horses natural
position is with the fore feet the lowest
The hay rack is so high, the horse is COM
PEELED to reach up to get the hay. His ma
tural position, while feeding, is with bis
head down to the ground. The stalls arc
|sp high he cannot see his companions, while
he is naturally gregarious and loves compa-
my. In the stable he stands on a floor; ma
fturally, on the earth. In his natural wilds
he is racing animal; in the stable he is so
Ieonfned that he cannot lie down, and can
scarcely turn himself.
Is it wonderful, then, that nearly every
horse is unsound? Standing with the fore
feet highest throws the weight and strain on
the fexor tendons, and destroys the back.
Turning the nose unnaturally upward strains
the tendons of the neck while he is eating;
and is often, unquestionably, the cause Of
poll evil. High and separate stalls destroy
his natural social qualities, and make him
sour and morose and a hard plank floor, on
which he is doomed to stand for twenty and
twenty -four hours at time, will produce
ring bone.
Another defect in many stables is, that
they are too tight, with NOW of hay over
them. The ammonia arising from the urine
has no chance to escape; the horse is con-
Itinually breathing it; itpenetrates the hay,
and he is continually eating it. How often
do we enter stable in hot weather, when
the ammoniacal air is so pungent that we can
scarcely breathe it; and yet the horse is
compelled to stand i'll it, and breathe it, and
cat his food that is completely saturated with
it. Can We wonder that the horse is subject
to unusual and sudden accute and fatal dis
eases 1t is more to be wondered that he
lives at all under such circumstances.
Hay should never be placed over a stable,
so as to receive the ammoniacal gas; but
stables should be ventilated above, SO as to
let the gas and foul air escape.
Another error in the construction Of sta
bles is the openings for throwing out man
ure, and ventilation. In most stables, the
openings are for the two-fold purposes. In
the first place, the openings are too low, and
allow the current Of air to blow on the horse
The effect is the same as a current Of air on
sdEaa and asing; eroans!ag g sszssi aeaga
Nor is this all: this current Of air, which
is all the good air the horse has, comes in
from the manure heap, and is but adding
more poisonous gas to thas already existing.
It is morally wrong as we'll as economi-
cally wrong, thus to treat the horse, one of
the best and noblest Of the brute creation
