The mule, in some parts Of the country,
is taking the place of the horse, to a great
extent, and if our farmers would make ex-
perimcnts to find the relative value Of the
two, they would adopt the mule to a much
greater extent than they have done hereto
fore. We should try to have those animals
which will cost the least for raising and
keeping, and do the most work, as far as We
possibly can; and in order to do this, !
know of no better plan than to learn the cx-
periencc of the farmers, through the agri
cultural papers. | think mules are prefera.
bic to horses in several respects =
l. They are much more easily kept than
horses. They eat less than horses,-are
better able to sustain themselves on wild
pasture,-will stand harder treatment, coar-
ser and inferior fare, and do not give as
much trouble. Their bill for shoeing and
doctoring is not one,half as much. The
cost Of raising horse, till it is three years
old, is variously estimated at from S35 to
$s5, and of the mule, for the same length
of time, from 500 to $50, and sometimes
even less.
2. They are much more easily disposed Of,
in lots, at any time, at good prices; prices
ranging from 800 to $3.50, and in some
places, good FIVE year.olds bring from sI75
to 5000.
3. They are fit for service much sooner
than horses. At two years old, they are
generally considered capable Of performing
labor, while the horse is not for at least a
year later.
4. They are almost entirely exempt from
disease, and such diseases as they are liable
to, are easily cured. The horse, being ex-
citable and suspicious, is easily urged to o
much greater amount of exertion than he
can bear, especially so with speed; but the
mule, being calm and pertinacious, is able
to resist all the stimulants to over.exertion.
5. They live to much greater age than
horses, having been known to attain the age
of seventy years. They are strong andgood
workers at the age of twenty-five to thirty
years, or more. The average age of the
mule is twice that of the horse.
If mules are managed properly in break
ing, not one in ten will be stubborn. In
blowing corn, &C., they do not break down
near as much as horses.

MARRIED LIFE.

The following beautiful and true
sentiments are from the pen of that
charming writer, Frederick Bremen,
whose observations might well become
rules Of life, so appropriate are they
to many of its phases:--
"Deccive not one another in small
things nor in great. One little single
lie has, before now, disturbed whole
married life a small cause has often
great consequences Fold not the
arms together and sit idle. Do not
run much from home. Ones own
hearth is of more worth than gold.-
Many marriage, my friends, begins
like the rosy morning, and then falls
away like snow-wreath. And why,
my friends! Because the married
pair neglect to be as well pleasing to
each other after marriage as before.
Endeavor always, my children, to
please one another, but at the same
time keep God in your thoughts
Lavish not all your love on to-day,
for remember that marriage has it's
to morrow likewise, and its day after
tomorrow, too. Spare, as one may
say, fuel for the winter. Consider, nv
daughter, what the word wife express.

of his heart, as well as the key of his

are under her kceping-his well.be.
ing in her hand. Think of this! And
you, sons, be faithful husbands, and
good fathers of families. Act so that
your wives shall esteem and love vou."

SECONDHAND SIANDER.--There is a
decision in the last volume of Gray's
Reports which is at once sound NOR
ais and good law. A woman, sued
for slander, was defended on the
ground that she only repeated, and
without malice, what was currently
reported. The Court held, that to re-
peat story which is false and Sian
derous, no matter how widely it may
have been circulated, is at the peril OF
the tale-bearcr. Slander cannot al.
ways be traced to its origin. It's pow
er OF mischief is derived from repeti-
ton, even if disbelief of the story
accompanies its relation. Indeed, this
half doubtful way Of imparting SLAM
der is often the surcst method resorted
to by the sIanderer to give currency
10 his tale.

The TITLE OF PROFESSOR. is a


most ridiculous practice nova days,
of giving the title of Professor to ev-
'ery jack-a-napes who has had the good
fortune to take peep into college
window 1t matters not however in
significant and underserving the per-
;sonages who bear the title, still you
hear nothing but Professor so and so,
until the very title has become almost
IA disgrace, rather than an honor. We
understand that one Of these titled
personages not a thousand miles away
having made application for a sheep
skin, was passing an examination for
his degree, when failing upon every
subject upon which he was tried, he
complained that he had not been
questioned upon the things viii he
knew. Upon which, the examining
master tore off about an inch of paper
and pushing it towards him, desired
him to write upon thut all he knew.--
He had to make off for parts unknown
and forge the name of Professor.

DANIEL WEBsrER's WooINc.--A cor.
respondent of the Boston Courier tells
how Daniel Webster proposed to Grace

Mr.. Webster married the woman

current on this subject, which is not
recorded in the books. Mr.. Webster

Grace Fletcher, when the skein of silk

The MEMORY CT A Coop MoTHER.-
How often when the syren voice of
the tempter whispers in the ear of the
frail child of mortality, the words, aye,
the very voice-tones, Of warning are
remembered and the snare broken.--
Long grass may be grown over the
hallowed spot where all that earthly
reposes, the dying leaves of autumn
may be whirled over it, or the chill
white mantle of winter cover it from
sight; yet the spirit of such a mother
is always by the side of him when
walking the right path, and gently
sadly, mournfully calling to him when
wandering off into the dull paths Of
error and crime.
