The Horse Charm, or the Great Secret
for Training Horses.

The horss-casto Is a wart, or excres-
cence; which grows on every horses fore
legs and generally on the hind legs. Il
has peculiar rank, musty smell, and 10
easily pulled off, The ammoniaesl sfflu-
via Of the horse seems peculiarly to con-
centrate in this part, and its very strong
odor has great attraction for all suimals;
especially canine, and the horse himself
For the oil Of cummin, the horse has
an instructive paSsion-both are natives
of Arabia, and when the horse scents the
odor, he is instinctivsly drawn toward it.
The oil Of rhodium possesses peculiar
properties. All animals seem to cherish
fondness for it, and it exercises a kind
Of subduing influence over them.
The directions given for tanning horses
are as follows:
Procure some horse-castor, and CRATE 1t
fine. Also get some oil Of rhodium and
oil of cummin, and keep the three sepa-
rate in air-tight bottles.
Rub a very little cummin upon your
hand and approach the horse in the
field, on the windward side, so that he
can smell the cummin. The horse will
let you come up to him then without
trouble. ...r,t
Immediately ruo your hand gently on
the horses nose, getting little of the oil
on it. You can then lead him anywhere.
Give him little Of the castor on .
piece of loaf sugar, apple. or potato.
Put drops of the oil of rhodium into
a ladies' silver thimble. Take the thin
BILE the between your thumb and middle
finger of your right hand, with the fore
finger stopping the mouth of the thimble,
to prevent the oil from running ont whilst
you are opening the mouth of the horse.
AS soon as you have opened the horses
mouth, tip the thimble over upon his
tongue, and he is your servant. He will
follow you like pet dog.
Ride, fearless and promptly, with your
knees pressed to the side Of the horse, and
your toes turned in and heels out then.
you will always be on the alert for q shy.

throw you. If you want to teach him
to lie down, stand on his nigh or left side,
have a couple of leather straps about six
feet long, string up his left leg with one
of them round his neck strap the other
end of it over his shoulders :; hold it in
your hand, and when You are ready, tell
him to lie down, at the same time; gently,
firmly, and steadily pulling on the strap,

THE LOVERS.

TWAS evening. and Robert Dewris was
still in his room. The events of the day
hal male deep impression upon his
mind. He had quarrellel with his uncle,
hal uSel hard words AMI threatened viO-
lence to him. In the quiet of his apart
m'nt, now that the heat of HIS passion
had passed away. he regrette.l it. The
sOrdld character of his uncle rcn Tered him
an object Of disgust to the open hearted
Young man, and it was not an unusual
tang tor them to indulge in harsh cpl
tlets towards each other. But the rup-
'nre of that day was much more violent
than had ever occurred before.
There was no light in the room, and in
tne darkness the young patriot paced the
apartment. The quarrel did not claim
all his attention. He was disappointed
IN being unable to furnish the proposed
aid for the militia.
While thus celebrating, the door was
gently opened, and man entered the
room. 1t was too dark for the young pa
mot to distinguish his features.

Senator Houston spoke az Hampstead,
Texas, on the 18th ultimo. An account
of his remarks in the Galveston News
closes as follows:
"He said the North had us down that
the foot of the North is on our necl1s, and
that we could not help ourselves. lie
said the North, in case of resistance by us,
could easily take possession of all our forts
in the country that the West alone could
take possession of New Orleans, and with
an army of two millions could hold us in
subsection. He declared himself an ad-
vocate Of he Union. He said that Yam
cey, and N men like him, ought to be
put in mad house. He said he opposed
the Kansas-Nebraska act, and was still
opposed to it. He attributed all our
troubles to the passage of the act. He
argued in support of the Missouri Com
promise, and said it should never have
been repealed"

THE MURDER.

Principally to his appointment, Colo
mel Powell went to the goldsmith's shot
the next morning. Mr.. Waldeck was il
the shop alone. The loan of five hundred
pounds was ready; the necessary papers
were executed, and the officer with feel
ing Of deep satisfaction, deposited the
amount in his pocket.
"Where is Mr.. Dewrie ?" asked he.
"He has not been seen since your visit
here yesterday afternoon" replied the
goldsmith with a nervous twitch of the
head. ~
'Is it poss5s| Where can he be %
81 can form no idea. The last'I heard
of him was during the quarrel with his
nephew you remember the circum-
stance" and Mr.. Waldeck fixed an I'M
easy glance upon Colonel Powell. ID
Il do, perfectly well. Have you male
any inquiries ?"
"Yes, | have been to every place he is
accustomed TO visit, but have been unable
to obtain any tidings of him. His bed
was not occupied last night"

Mr.. -Waldeck searched, but the ring
could not be found. -7
Nothing has happened to him, TRUST. "
"Sinee / came into the shop this morn
ing, and learned he was not in the house,
| have felt the most gloomy doubts"
'Where is his villainous nephew 81
and Colonel Powell scowled at the men,
ton of that name. n" eta
"He has not been seen since the quarrel
with his uncle. Probably you had the
last interview with him. ~. .
The events of the previous evening, as
the reader has suspected, were known to
him: indeed. he hail followed Robert
Dewrie, and given Colonel Powell the in
formation which had made him listener
at the dining-room door.
1.-THE quarrel has not resulted in any
thing serious, has it ?' asked Colonel
Powell, with glance of intelligence at
the other. csc
"No, the young man in the main, is q
very good fellow"
"But, in his passion. has he not made
way with the old man pr '.-sF y
Impossible he could never be guilty
of such an act" ttr
Perhaps not; but my own opinion Of
the young fellow is anything but favora-
sble." ..'f r7.1- .i.E.-
"You wrong him by such a suspicion.

Mr.. Waldeck hesitated moment, and
then replied that they were scattered about

Have you examined the cellar 90
Mr.. Waldeck acknowledged that the
thought of searching the cellar had never
occurred to him-thst it was mere lum-
ber-room, rarely visited by any one. u
Colonel Powell. who in his prejudices
against Robert Dewrie, was harboring
the most terrible suspicion of him, pro-
posed to search the cellar. Waldeck,
protesting that it was needless, assented,
and the trap-door was raised. As they
were about to descend, two of the neigh
bors who had been engaged in the search,
entered the shop. They were requested

Oh, gentle sOag! thou hast a throng

I feel that shall love thee long,
And fear love thee far too well.

With dOting glance Of warn delight,
In after days, know not how
Thy plaintive notes may dim my sight.

CORRESPONDENTS OF TIE RICHMOND DAILY DISPATCH !


LEXINGTON, VA March LIST, 1858.
The recent rebellion among the students of
Washington Coiege-a brief notice of which Was
published last week in your paper-was brought
to an issue this morning by the dismissal of three
of the rebels tho only ones known by the Faculty
to have been engaged in the disturbance. As soon
as the announcement was made, forty three other
students Immediately sent in their names to the
Faculty as porticepS cr8HS, and Of course, equally
liable TO their official censure 1t is said that these
participants have determined, if they are not dis
missed also. to absent themselves from recitation,
and in this way force the Professors to exercise
their authority. This is one Of the most serious
and lamentable difficulties that has occurred in
CoIlege for many years, the finale of which no one
can now even conjecture. Speculation is rite on
every side as to what will be the result Of this
a total suspension of College duty has been limited
at but these are probably mere idle suggestions
The best interests of this venerable and excellent
institution seem to require speedy restoration TO
the good order that has heretofore characterized
it, Only some thrty-five students who were not
personally engaged in the riot, are left, and some
of these are known to be warm sympathizers.
Other difficulties, of all entirely personal chaTac
ter, which it would not be proper for your cores
pendent to make known as yet, have sprung from
this affair.
The arrival Of the corps of Cadets is looked for
tomorrow, at Guy and Patton's lumber house, on
the North River Canal. 1t is questionable whether
the tolls on this kind of freight will be applied to
the payment of the coupons Of the Canal Company
bonds.
The March term of our quarterly court was com
menced to-day. A large number of the soyereigns
present. Money matters appear to be tighter
than ever, and the recent unexpected failure of
one of our most prominent and much esteemed cit
liens for large amount will, it is feared, add to
the monetary troubles of this locality. o. q.
