Astonishing Performance.

On the 18th of January, at Windsor
(Eng), Mr.. j. S. Rarey, from the United
States of America. had the honor of exhib-
ling before her Majesty, the Prince Con-
sort, and the royal family and suite, in the
riding g-house, his miraculous power over
the horse. Several animals were selected
as subjects of his experiments He com
menced with a wild colt eighteen months
old, belonging to the Prince Consort. which
was brought from the Shaw Farm, and
which lad never been handled. except by
halter. and had been chosen by Colonel
Hood for the occasion. Afer being alone
with the animal for about an hour and a
half, the royl party entered, and found Mr.
Rarey sitting on lis back, without holding
the rein, the horse perfectly quiet. Mr..
Rarey then made few remarks in regard
to his great experience IN the treatment of
this noble animal; drum was afterwards
handed to Mr.. Rarey. which he beat with
fury whilst sitting on the horses back,
without the colt exhibiting any signs of
fear. The royl party afterwards withdrew
for a few minutes, and on their return found
the animal lying down; and Mr.. Rarey
knocking lis hind legs together. one OF
which he put againSs his face.
Afterwards restive horse, from Mr..
AndeFson's stables, in London, which Mr.
Rarey had before handled, was placed at
one end of the riding house alone. Mr.
Rarey went to the other end, and a. his
command the horse walked quie;ly up to
him. He then made the horse lie down in
The presence of the Queen, when Mr.. Rar-
ey crawled between his hind legs, and over
him in various WAYS. Mr.. Rarey then
rolled the horse on his back The horse
was afterwards placed in various position.
in which it stood without holding, and
without bride.
A third horse selected by Mi. Meyers,
the riding master, as very nervous AMI
NAL, was then brought in and in a few
minuts afterwards 1t was made by Mr. Rar-
ey to do all which had been done by the
other horses. At the conclusion of this ex-
hibitaiion Of Mr.. Rarey's wonderful power
over the horse, his Royal Fighness the
Prince Copsort expressed to Mr.. Rarey his
qualification and thanks. The secret has
been entrusted to Major General Airey, in
confidence ofwho has pronounced that
there is nothing in the treatment but what
any Lorsman would approve Ct. The Sc

Chinese Sugar Came.

Committee of the United States Agri
culture Society, which recently met a
Washington, made report upon the SUBJ
ject of the Chinese Sugar Cane, of which
the following is synopsis. ~ -
/. The soil and geographical range o.
the Chinese Sugar Cane correspond nearly
with those of Indian corn. 1t produces
the best crop on dry uplands. but the most
luxuriantly on rich bottoms of moist loans.
2. 1t epdnres cold much better than corn
and experiences no injury from the Au-
tumnal frosts. 1t will also withstand ex-
cessive drouths. Ripens its seeds In Sep
tember IA dry and warm soils in many parts
of the New England States; at the extreme
South it may be planted as late as the Goth
June.
3. It's cost and culture about the same as
Indian corn. ga
4. Height of plant when fully grown
varies from six to eighteen feet. and stalks
vary from half an inch to two inches in di-
ameter. The weight of the entire crop
when full grown, taken before drying, is
from teps to forty tons. Of seed the

The Useful and Beautiful.

The tomb OF Moses is unkno yn; but the
traveller slakes his thirst at the well Of ia
cob. The gorgeous palaces of the wisest
ana wealthiest Of monarchs, with the ce-
dar and gold, the ivory, and even the great
temple of Jerusalem. hallowed by the Wis
ible glory Of Deity Himself, are gone; but
.Solomon's reservoirs are as perfect as ever
OF the ancient architecture Of the Holy
City, not one stone is left upon another;
but the pool Bethsaida commands the pill
grim's reverence at the present day. The
columns of Persepolis are mouldering into
dust; but its cislerns and aqueducts remain
to challenge our admiration. The golden
house of Nero is mass of ruins; but
Aquis Caludia sill pours into Rome the
limpid stream. The temple of the Sun at
Tadmor. in the wilderness, has fallen; but
its fountains sparkle as freshly in his rays
as when thousands of worshipers thronged
its lofty colonaies. 1t may be that London
viii share the fate of Babylon, and moth
ing he left to mark It's site, save mounds of
crumhling brick work The Thames will
continue TO flow as it does now. And if
any work of art should still rise over the
deep ocean of time, we may well believe
that it will be neither a palace nor temple,
but some vast aqueduct or reservoir; aad
if any mama should still flash through the
midst of antiquity, it will probably be the
man who in his day sought the happiness
of his fellowman rather than their glory.
and linked his memory to some great work
of national utility and benevolence. This
is he true glory which outlives all other,
and shines with undying luster from gen,
Grafton to It's immortality, and in some de-
gree rescuing them from the ruin which
cvertakcs the ordinary moments OF histor-
ical tradition or mere magnifcence.- Ed.

ACCIDENT AND FoRr1ruDE. Sometime
during Thursday forenoon of the present
week, an Irish lady, McDole, who is up
wards Of SO years ofage, was passing down
the hill of spring street, with basket, on
her way to Noroumbe market. A young
lady was sliding on the icy side walk and
struck her violently with the sled. knock
ing her dow. Her arm was broken by the
fall. She Immediately got up, went down
the hill. and proceeded to the house of DR..
Shell, on Harlow street, who set her arm
and splintered it, so as to secure the splin-
tered bones in their places. Mrs. McDole
then took her basket ON her sound arm,
proceeded to market and made her purch-
ases and took them home. An instance of
foriitude and resolution is seldom seen.-

The appearance OF a man upon the scene
of being constitutes new era in creation;
The operations of new instinct come into
play-that instinct which anticipates life
after the grave, and reposes implicit faith
upon a God alike just and good, who is the
pledged 'rewarder Of all who diligently
seek Him. And in locking along the
long line Of being--over rising in the scale
from higher to get higher manifestations.
Or abroad On the lower animals, whom in
stinc. never deceiyes--can we hold that
man, immeasurably higher in his place,
and infinitely higher il his hopes and as
pirations than all that ever went before Linn
should be, notwithstanding, the one grand
error IN creation-the one painful worker.
IN tie midst of the present troubles, a state
into which he never is to enter--the be-
fooled exTec:ant Of happy future which
he is never to see? Assuredly no. He
who keeps faith with his humble creatures
who gives even the bee and the DOR
n4ouse, the winter for which they prepare
will 10 certainty not break faith with
man--with man, alike the dcputed lord of
the present creation and chosen heir Of all
the future. We have been looking abroad
on the old geologic burning grounds and
deciphering the strange inscriptions on
their tombs--solitary church yards among
The hills, where the dust of martyrs lie,
and tombs that rise over the ashes Of the
wise and good, nor are there wanting, on
even the monuments of the perished race
frequent hieroslyphics and symbols Of high
meaning, which darkly intimate TO US. tl.at
while their burial yards contain but the
debris of the past, we are to regard the
others as charged with the sown seed of
the future.--Hugh Miller.

The AUTUMN OF LIFE.-No! many
months before the death of the late Judge
Davis, on the occasion of dinner party at
his house, at which Mr.. Justice Story and
other eminent jurists and lawyers were
present, the conversation turned on the
comparative advantages of the different pc
riods Of life. Some thought that the sea-
sons Of youth and manhood were fullest Of
enjoyment, and others gave the preference.
for solid satisfaction, to the period of age.
Judge Davis did not state his opinion until
he was invited to do so; and then, in that
calm and benignant manner for which he
was remarkable, he said; "In the warm
season of the year it is my delight to be in
the country, and every pleasant evening
while am there, / love to sit at the win
dow and look at some beautiful trees which
grow near my house. The murmuring of
the wind through the branches, and the
gentle ply of the leaves, and the flickering
of light upon them. when the moon is up,
fill me with an indiscribable pleasure. AS
the autumn comes on, | feel very sud to
see these leaves falling one ry one; out
when they are all gone, find that they
were only screens before my eyes; for / ex-
perience new and higher satisfaction as 1
gaze through the naked branches at the glo-
aious stars beyond" sae .ha7

Passing the Icebergs.
~ T. BUCHANAN READ


A fearless shape OF bold device
Our vessel drives through mist and rain,
Between the floating fleets of Ice
Those navies oil the northern main;
Those Artic ventures, blindly hurled,
The proofs of natures olden force,
Like fragments of crystal world
Long shattered from its skley course.
These are The Buckaniers that fright
The middle sea with dreams of wreck,
And freeze the south winds in their fight,
And chain the Gulf Stream to their deck.
AT every dragon prov and helm
There stands some Viking, as of yore
Grim heroes from the Boreal realm
Where Odin rules the spectral shore.
AMI oft beneath the sun or moon
Their swift and eager falchions glow;
While, like stormyexed wind, the Rune
Comes chatting through some beard of snow
And when the far North flashesrp
They know that many blazing cup
Is brimming to the abrent bold.
Up, signal there. and let US hail
Yon looming phantors we pass;
Note all her fashion, hull and sail,
Within the compass of your glass?
See at her mast the siedfast glow
OF that one star of Odin's throne;
Up with your Gag, and let us show
The Constellation Of our own!
And speak her well, for she might say,
T. from her heart the words could thaw,
Great news from some far frozen bay
Or the remotest Esquimaux.
Night tell Of channels, yet untold,
That sweep the pole from sea to sea;
OF lands which God designs to hold
Almighty people,yet to be.
OF Wonders which alone prevailed
Where day and darkness dimly meet;
OF all which spreads the Arctic sail;
Of Franklin and his venturous feet.
How happily. at some glorious goal,
His anchor holds, his sails are furled;
That Fame has named him on her scroll,
"Columbus of the Polar World"
Orhow his ploughing bark wedges on.
Through splintering fields with battr'd shares
Lit only by that spectral dawn,
The mask that mocking darkness wears.
Or how o'er-embers black few
The last of shiv.red masts and spars;
He sits amid his frozen crew,
In council with the horland stars. ~ +
No answel, but the sullen flow
Of ocean heaving long and vast;
An argosy of ice and snow,
The voiceless North swings proudly past
