The Injurious effects of mental labor are,
IN great measure, owing to extensive fore
ing i'll early youth to sudden or misdirec-
ted study; to the cooperation of depress-
Ing emotions Or passions to the neglect of
hygiene to the neglect of tho hints of the
body; or to the presence of the seeds of
disease, degeneration, and decay in the
system. The man Of healthy phlcgmatic
or cholcrlc temperament is less likely to be
injured by application than one of sanguinc
or melanchollc type; yet these latter, with
allowance for the original constitution, may
be capable of vast efforts The extended
and deep culture of the mind exerts di-

Fear not to domanfully the work for which
your gifts qualify you, but do it as one who
must give an account of both soul and
and body. Work, and work hard while it
is day; the night comcth soon enough
do not hasten it, Use your facultics-usc
them to the utmost, but do not abuse them;
make not the mortal to do the work of the

Horse TAMiNG.-Long ago we have been
cautioned not to doubt anything strange or
wonderful, otherwise we could hardly have
expressed our aStonshmcnt at the feast i'm
horsc-taming displayed during the last few
days in this village, by Mr.. ID. II. Colyer
agent for Prof. Lancr.
young gentleman in our town. Mr.. r.
F. Black has horse which was once famous
ior his Kicking and running away propenSi
ties. and which had, up to the time Gf Mr.
Colycr's getting hold of him, utterly refused
anything like harness. aud kicked ut the very
sight almost of a pair of shafts; hut Bul-
let under sanitary treatment now works ms
gently rs II lamb, any where and under any
crcum stances. Mr.. Colyer employs the In.
.nicr method of tanning horses, in which M
medicine of any kind is used. and has cticc.
tually cured several ut this place of bad hab-
lis. We can confidently recommend him to

IonAcco.-Fronra rare book, printed in
lG5S, called sylvia Sylvurum. or a Natural

Tobacco is thing of great prince. ifit

IaS atilrmcdl two hundred pounds by the
year, towards charge. The charge of making
the ground by and otherwise is great, but
nothing to profit. But the English iubacon
hath small credit. Ms being too dull and
earthly nay, the Nigininn tobacco, though
ttha be in i hotter climate, can get US credit

tobacco more aromatca and better cnncoct-

drcnching the English tobacco in decuction
or infusion Of Indian tobacco: but those are
