Lady Equestrianism.

Notwithstanding our hostility to the
practice of allowing ladies to enter the
ring for a race, and display of skirts
at county and state fairs, we are much
in favor of every young miss, or more
mature mistress, being educated or ed
ucating herself to manage a horse skill
fully and fearlessly whether in the sad
die or carriage We dislike to see that
peculiar unwomanly look, which is Of
ten put on, by the lady rider or driver,
to indicate her fearlessness-her self
reliance "a sort of shut your mouth,
and hold your breath look. 1t is not
necessary ones teeth should be set and
bps compressed in order to give an i'm
precision of self-poise And we equal
" dislike to ride with lady whose
nerves impel her to snatch the reins
cut of our hands every time a horse
''lays back or "pricks up" his ears
The art of driving and managing a
horse should be taught the miss and
the woman; not only so but the mys-
teries ofthe harness should be unlocked.
She should be learned that it is not
necessary to unbuckTe all the buckles
in harness before it can be taken off !;
and as well how to put on harness
right and "hitch" to carriage in case
1t becomes necessary so to do. Any
woman who has talent enough to learn
how to knit a lamp mat can learn with
one or two lessons, how to harness or
saddle horse, so that it will be safe
to ride on or after the same.
Now that women are gaining so

see that they know how to operate in

NEW DISEASE IN HoRsEs.-A cor
respondence of the Loscd Farmer states
that a new disease has appeared
amongst the horses in his vicinity,
which, was brought in by diseased
animal traded for by the postmaster.
It is thus described: ''The first ap-
pearance of the disase is upon the neck;
= small swelling from the ear down the
throat-latoh to the point of the jaw, but
does not seem to be sore or tronble-
some. The horses appetite becomes
unusually sharp, and although he eats
more than when in health, loses flesh
fast, and becomes weak, stupid, and
dies. Some die in a few days, while
some linger a month or two after the
disease is discoved." The disease is
oontagiousy and about forty horses have
already died from It's effects.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

IS constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in, the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst ont
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is yariously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and.
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin,it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending g. from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, al
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children" ,-0f ef, 3 cf..0 ofy
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings : and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
m this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from OF
are aggravated by the same cause. 9yF19n'
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in o g'
