TAsTE.-There is a wonderful difference
in taste. We are not discussing the wonted
office Of the palate, but the fitness of things
as they strike the eye. One admires the
beautiful landscapes, studded with majestic
oaks, the clambering vines and the running
rill; another sees no beauty in any thing
but spirited horse, or the fine substantial
looking ox-the latter having only an eye
to utility, believing appearances are moth
ing 9-
A striking difference in taste is displayed
in buildings and their surroundings-som
build mostly for oshow, theirs for comfort.
All sorts of devices are used for the con-
Instruction of outide defenses to our pre-
misses. Fences receive share of our taste.
One likes light, airy lattice-work, anothrr
a strong durable iron fence; another q
"picket fence" or stone fence, or even a
dght-board fence, as though their neighbor
might peer over or through it-or to hide
something unsightly, not suited To a refined
taste. And we have known cases occur
when neigbbors who differ in taste in such
patters, crafty this peculiar fancy by
building on the same line each, such fence
as suits their notion.

FEEDING HoRsKs.-The London Omnibus
Company have lately made report on feed
ing horses which discloses some interesting
information, not only to farmers, but to
every owner of horse. AS a great num-
Der of horses are now used in the army for
cavalry, artillery and draught purposes, the
facts are Of great value at the present time.
The London company uses no less than
5000 horses; 5000 of this number had for
their feed bruised oats and cut hay and
straw, and the other 1000 got whole oats
and hay. The allowance accorded to the
first was: bruised oats, l6 pounds; cut hay,
II pounds; cut straw, 21s pounds. The
allowance accorded to the second unbruised
oats, 10 pounds uncut hay; l3 pounds. The
bruised oats, cut hay and cut straw amounted
to 26 pounds and the unbruised oats, &C.,
to 80 pounds. The horse which had bruised
oats, with cut hay and straw, and consumed
26 pounds per day, could do the same work
as we'll, and was kept in as good condition,
as the horse which received 80 pounds per
day. Here was a saving OF pounds per
day on the feeding of each horse receiving
bruised oats, cut hay and cut straw. The
advantage Of bruised oats and cut hay over
unbruised oats and uncut hay is estimated at
tiVe cents per day on each horse, amounting
70 $500 per day for the company's 5000
horses. II is by no means an unimportant
result with which this experiment has sup
piled us. To the farmer who expends a
large sum in the support of horsepower,
there are two points this experiment clearly
establishes, which, in practice, must be prof
liable First the saving OF food to the
amount of six pounds per day and second,
no loss of horsepower arising from that
saving.

MALE AND FEMALE DIsGUIsEs.--We learn
that an invention has been patented in
England for covering the moustaehe of a
gentleman during meals or other exposure.
1t is made of shell ivory, or gutta- -percha,
and was invented by Mr.. Field. This al
most amounts to mask-in the disguise
that it might be made to serve for-and it
is curious that it should be proposed for
male wear at the same time that female dis
guises are the object of legislative attention.
An article on the subject thus suggests the
revival of an old law: "a law against
obtaining husbands under false pretenses,
passed by the English Parliament in 1770,
enacted that all women of whatever age,
rank, profession, or degree, who shall, after
this act impose upon, seduce and betray
into matrimony any Of his msjesty's sub
jects by virtue of scents, paints, cosmetic
washes, artificial teeth, false hair, iron
stays, bolstered hips, or high-heeled shoes,
shall incur the penalty of the law now in
force against witchcrafts and like misde-
meanors; and the marriage under such cir
cumstances, upon conviction Of the offend
ing parties shall be null and void

The ALIANTHUs FOR BLOWING SANDS
Count Lambert the great Russian landed
proprietor living at Odessa, states that
having failed for sixteen consecutive years
in his attempts at fixing the deep-blowing
sands on his estate, by Pinasters and Aca-
cias, he had at last succeeded by the aid of
the tree called the Alianthus. No wonder
that his difficulty should have been so
great, considering that the desert operated
on is foot deep in sand resting ON solid
rock. Having heard something of the hardy
constitution of Alianthus, its Indifference
to good land, and its running roots, he
eventually took to planting it on his dunes,
and with such complete success that his
shifting unmanageable plains are now So
lidifed and covered with an almost impen-
etrable forest, so entirely have the running
roots took possession Of the land. How
Count Lambert proceeded in the work of
planting does not appear but from the ex-
preston "on fat chaque aimee deS Semis,
it seems probable that he sowed the land
directly. Other lOnd-holders in the neigh.
borhood have followed his example, so that
| the tree has been increased, prodigiously.'
Measures, says NJ. Guerin- -Meneville, are
now taking TO introduce among the planta.
tions the new silkworm from Japan which
| feeds on the Alianthus. Here is another
great matter, how to make sea banks i'm
penetrable, practically solved. 1t is hoped
that planters will at once try what can bt
| done with Alianthus on our own sandy
| sbiftingcoast among the "Marrum" banks

AFortune.Huu,,p9 Par.Ou,

The Rev. John Angel James, whose name
stands so high in portion of English reli-
gious circles, seems to have been regular
fortune hunter. Says the New York Inds-
pendent:
The Rev. Mr.. James was twice married,
and in both instances he made alliance with
ladies possessed of handsome worldly es-
tate. The first he describes as q "dear, em-
inent woman who had few personal charms, +"
and "sprightliness or vivacity." She was
older than himself, but had money and a
good social position. He thus records his
courtship: 81 had been one day most
earnestly praying for divine direction in
this important step, and during prayer
Frances Smith occurred with such force to
my mind, that considered it an indication
OF Providence that my attention should be
directed 10 her." And in view of his sue
cess, he cautions the young minister against
marrying frivolous, weak, moneyless, thrift
less woman"
Three years after the death of this truly
excellent person, Mr.. James made another
choice equally providential. Here is his
record Of the affair:
By Gods good Providence | was directed
TO one in every way worthy to be the sue
cessor of my first wife, and this is saying
much. The widow of Mr.. Benjamin Neale,
OF st. PauIs Church-yard, had been sought
by many, but she was reserved for me. q :
His widow was left without family, and in
the possession Of property Subject to some
charitable bequests, which she literally car
ried OUT to the amount of 10000. .
Possessed of a masculine understanding,
great public spirit, equal liberality and
eminenty prudent, she was well fitted for
the station into which Providence now
brought her. She had her failings; but they
were very light and small compared with
