Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1857-06-04

All day from shrubs by our summer dwelling,
The Eastersparrow repeats his song;
A merry warbler, he chides the blossoms,
The idle blossoms, that sleep so long.
The blueb chants, from the elm's long branches,
hymn to welcome the budding year,
The south wind wanders from field to forest,
And softly whispers, The Spring is here
Come, daughter mine, from the gloomy city,
Before these lays from the elm have ccasd;
The violet breathes by our door as sweetly
As in the air of her native East.
Though many flower in the wood is waking,
The daffOdil is our door-side queen
She pushes upward the sward already,
To spot with sunshine the early green.
No lays so joyous these warbled
From wiry prison in maidens bower
No panpered bloom of the greenhouse chamber
Has half the charm OF the lawn IS first flower.
Yet these sweet lays of the early season
And these fair sights OF its sunny days,
Are only sweet when we fOndy listen,
And only fair when we fondly gaze.
There is no glory in star or blossom
Till looked upon by loving eye;
There is no fragrance in April breezes
Till breathed with joy as they wander by.
Come, Julia dear, for the sprouting willows,
The opening flowers, and the cleaning brooks,
And hoilows green in the waiting
Their dover of beauty from thy glad looks.

Brownlow and Democracy.

Notwithstanding Parson Brownlow's an
tipathy 10 Democracy, o which our readers
have had abundant evidence, we see that a
certain Democratic paper in Ohio had the
boldness TO ask him TO abandon his routed
party and join the spoilsmen.-The Par
sons reply is Characteristic. After as
signing some of his reasons in his usually
plain and unequivocal manner, for not ac-
ceeding to the request, he closes as follows:
"Emertainng these views, as honestly
do of the National Democracy" | can
never act with that organization, is this life
Ii God in the administration Of his laws,
should deem it proper to send me to HI,
after death, from the force Of circumstances
will then unite with the Democracy"

ble source that the estate Of the above
named gentleman, recently deceased, is es-
timated at $500, 900, for the most part well
invested, though portion Of it consists of
stocks and securities not perhaps salable al
at this moment
He left $4,000 to each of his three
children, and various small sums 10 other
relatives. The American Board, and sew
eral other benevolent societies, are the re-
siduary legatees. The widow has the use
Of $30, 900, the homestead and all the per-
sonal property during her natural life. AT
her decease this portion of the estate falls
to the societies above referred to. OF the
sum to be divided among various beRevo-
lent associations, the American board is to
receive fifteen per cent, to be paid in ten
annual installments, and the first payment
may not occur perhaps under two years.

Training Colts.

Professional horse breakers generally use
brute force in making horses gentle and
tractable, but this system subdung animals
is not advisable. 1t is better to effect the
desired result through kind, gentle means.
Young colts may be broken 10 the saddle or
harness long before they are able to endure
labor. The first operation is TO put Oh hal
ter. The colt will resist and pull, of course,
but hold fast with strong arm, in as gen.
lie a manner as possible, and iE few min
utes res stance will be at an end; you can
then lead the animal wherever you please.
This primary step in breaking colt, may
be taken when the beast is quite young
from two months otwo years old.
The halter should be put on as often as
one can spare time, and the colt led about in
a gentle manner. A little fOndling while
the halter is on, with mouthful or two of
!OOd, that colts relish, given 10 the animal,
will aid in creating confidence in you. Az
ter while sack may be laid upon the colts
back, while he is led about the yard; and
after few trainings in this manner, some
thing may be put into the bag to make a
little weight on his back. Then a saddle
may be placed upon him, and bride put
on; but on no account use any harshness, nor
allow the animal TO Illustrate your designs.
At the age of tw o years the boys may ride
him little, while the master is present to
see that nothing is done TO lrighten the colt,
or otherwise misuse him. Soon after this
the harness may be put on, and he may be
attached to the fore wheels of wagon, with
shafts so long, that if he happen to kick up,
his heels will not come in contact with the
whiffletree. Alter becoming thoroughly
used to drawing these wheels, they may be
loaded with few sacks of grain, and you
may try your colt upon the road and see
how he goes up hill. If he refuses to draw
on rising the hill, use no severity, nor great
urging; as il is better to unload him, and let
him go up with the bare wheels, or return
home, than 10 use the least harshness in
your management. All that is needed tc
make very gentle animal, and one that will
never finch in labor, is to treat him kindly
and never allow any person to manage hin
unless he is perfectly qualified to act in &C
cordance with the above suggestions Ru
