Builds empire there with hirn.

HooFs OF YOUNG HoRsEs we saw re
GENTLY an instance. Of the i'll effects result
ing from neglect to shorten the excessive
Iy.long boots Of yonong horses. A colt
with unusually long hoofs, had, in his play,
stepped on some hard substance, and bro
ken off the from. part Of the hoof of one
foot to the qaick. The accident was at
tended with some bleeding, and excessive
lamenes~, the poor fellow being unwilling
to put his foot to the ground. Ten min
utes work might have saved the animal
much pain, and the owner might have
had the profit of three months growth, in
stead Of having it arrested for that period.
But the occasional breaking. off a part
of the hoof is triae when compared with
other mischiefs resulting from The same
cause. When the toe is too long the
strain on the fetlock joint is greatly in
creased, and permanent injury to the sus-
pensary iganent often follows. Young
horses frequently have wind gals and 9th
err evidences of sprains, before they are
put to work, AID in ninty-rline cases ont
of hundred these are where shortening
of the toes has been neglected. On some
grave!ly and stony lanes and hard roads
The hoofs will wear fast enon@t, rs Nsture
evidently meant they should; but il horses
are kept on good smooth turf their feet
must be kept short byartiicial means.

If they had been content to remain in 9

no; fashion and wealth took possession OF
them, and they were completely ruined
They ran away from peace and pleasure,
and embraced a lingering death. Ye who
are signing for the posnp and splendor OF
life, bewafe' Ye know not what We wish.
How is it possible for You to be happy
while you possess deceiiful hear . No
situation, however exalted; no wealth
bowever magnificent; nc honors, however
glorious, can yield YOU solid enjoyment,
while discomfort turks in your bosom
The secret Of happiness lies in this-to he

sigh for the splendor Of riches, or the mag
niicence of fashion and power Persons
Who are always busy, and 90 cheerfully to
their daily tasks, are the least disturbed by
the nuctuation Of business, and at night
sleep with perfect composure. The idle
and the rich are seldom coate ntel. They
are peevish, fretful, irascible. Bid them
good morning, and they scow|. Nature

They are entirely out Of their view
While in this state, the springs Of life are

commenced undermining their constltu-

The mode practiced by the natives of the
Pacific Islands, hen their canoes are up
set at distance from the shore, and with
whom it is an object to save the boat as
well as their lives, is thus: They, sustain
themselves by joining hands across the
bottom of the boat, and use the other hand
to paddle home, changing hands when
