The prominent reasons for using mules in
teaming and farm labor in preference TO hor-
ses, are briefly exhibited in the following views:
They live to much greater age a mule has
scarcely attained his masured strength at
twelve years old, an age in which horses have
commenced a rapid deterioration IN value and
usefulness the average life of mule is about
thirty years, bat often al forty they are known
to perform the most laborious services a
team Of mules will accomplish almost the la
Dor of bOrses with consumption of about one
third less provender. Within the last few
years mules have been extensively introduced
iuto the teauiag operations of the manufactu-
ring district in which l reside, and are univer-
sally considered there more efficient and eco
noniical for that use tfRn horses Mules are
subject to but few Of the diseases which pre-
vail, and are so destructive among horses
Their hard skin and short hair render them
them less liable to be CALLED by the harness or
affected by cutaaeous diseases. They are said
never to be infested by verniu. The hoof OF
the mule is essentially a horny substance, and
of slow growth, and hence his shoes are seldom
cast or displaced in their position, but remain
until worn out, firmly on the foot. Tue vision
of the mule is much more quick and distinct
than that Of the horse, aud therefore they are
less liable to shy or become frightened. They
are sure footed to q proverb. The mule ex-
GELS the horse aud elna!ates the oxin his steady
and uniform Efforts in labor. 1t is objected to
mules that besides their disagreeable brayiDg.
they are obstinate and slow, tut these defects
believe may BE- overcome by gentleness and
practice.

Some of the Prospective Results of
I.incolnss Election.

Should Lincoln be the next President, there
will be sad and mournful procession of dilap-
idated offiee-holders from the various depart
ments. Protected, as Mr. Lincoln would be
from the avalanche of southern applications
which has rolled in so terribly upon every new
President since the organization Of the govern
meHt, and no doubt reserved by patriotic res
ignations on the part of those who declare
that this election will dissolve the Union. it
will be most significant spectacle to see men
who have grown gray in ofics-who are, in
deed, the checks, stops and obstacles OF that
great circumIocution system which has become
a vast evil here-turning their trembling steps
to the homes they so rarely see, and to the ay-
ocations they have so long abandoned We
shall then ascertain whether certain men are
indispensable in the management o. public af
fairs-whether the Union will collapse like
great balloon, when the gas of the fre-eaters
is withdrawn from Washington, and whether
new men and fresh men may not be able to
prove that this republic has demands upon no
particular individual and that even a change,
no matter how drastic and purging it may
sometimes be, may not save bilious and con-
stipated system
The venerables who carry gold-headed canes
along the avenue every day at O'Clock P. NJ.
at about $500 year apiece, and who have
grown gouty before dusty desks and in cosy
snuggeries, realizes the possibility of new reg
ime. Their dissolution of the Union is their
removal from office; their idea Of the destruc-
ton of the Democratic party is the receipt of
yellow envelope, enclosing a polite request
to leave, and their only idea of violation
of the Constitution is the apprehension that
the places which know them now may,
after the 4th of March, 1861, know them
no more forever.-[ Washington cor. Phil.

ADAM PoEs RIFLE.

One of the editors of the Buffalo Republic

NOUS Indian killer Of that name. The grand
son is Methodist Clergyman in Cincinnati

FOR BETTER, FOR WORSE.

When a man loves woman before be tries
to win her, he will have, if he loves her unsel-
fshly and generously, many "a doubt concerning
both her and himself In fact as l ouce read
somewhere, "When a man truly loves wo-
man, be would not marry her on any account
unless he was quite certain he was the best
person she could possibly marry But as
soon as she loves him, and he knows it, and is
certain of that, however many faults she may
possess-I never told you you were an angel,
did |, little lady ?-they have cast their lot to-
gether, chosen one another "For better, for
worse"-then the face of things is entirely
changed. He has his rights, close and strong
as no other human being can have with regard
to her-she has herself given them to him
and if he has any maniiness in him he never
will let them go, but hold her fast forever and
ever.

The Patterson-Bonaparte Family.

The Paris correspondent of the Courier des
Etata;s UniS in his last letter to that journal
says:
1t is rumored that the death of Prince Je-
rome will furnish to his son by bis first mar
riage with Miss Elizabeth Patterson an occa-
sion to revive his claims as sole heir of the au-
gust deceased. This is really the time for him
to have his rights, if be has any, formally deei-
ded. 1t is truethat the decision which would en-
anate from an imperial family council would
not be very dubious, although certain members
have it is said, shown themselves favorable to
the cause of the American lady. Jerome was
a minor when he was married to her by Bishop
Carroll, and it was on this plea of minority
that Napolean broke the union. To prove
that the young marine officer had been enticed
into the match by premeditated scheme, tes
timouials were produced to show that Miss
Patterson had laid wager that she would cap
tivate and marry the brother OF the man the
fame of whose exploits had already filed the
two continents. She won the wager, but only
gained thereby premature widowhood and
the grief of losing, while still living, the man
whom she believed attached TO her for life

THE LESSON OF A GARDEN.

A garden is beautiful book, written by the
finger of God every leaf is a letter. You
have only to learn them--and he is a poor
Ounce that cannot, if he will, do that-to learn
them, and join them and then go on reading,
and reading, and you will find yourself carried
away from the earth to the skies by the beau
tiful story you are going through. You do
not know what beautiful thoughts---for they
are nothing short-grow out of the ground,
and seem to talk to man aud then there
are some aowers-tney always seem to be like
oyer+dutifnl children-tend them evar so little,
and they come up and flourish, and show, as
may say, their bright and happy faces to you.
