THE ART OF CATCHING HORSES.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Valley Era,er truly
remarks that there are few things more aggra-
waiting than TO be in hurry to go some place.
and have great trouble to catch horse. /
have sometimes made the assertion that q horse
which raise will never be hard to catch unless
some one else spois him. The way | manage is
to keep them gentle from colts, handling them
rs often as convenient When young horses are
running TO grass give them salt occasionally,
and let them fondle about you, making as little
show of trying to get hold of them as possible -
There is nothing surer to spoil horse forever
than to run as if trying TO hem him in and yel
ling at him authoritatiyrly, or scolding, when
he can see, just rs we'll as ydu know, that he is
out of your reach. To put on the cap sheaf
whip him severely for causing trouble, and my
word for it, tho next time you want to catch him
he "wl not listen to the voice Of your charm
ing, charm you never so wisely"
Horses learn q great deal by signs. In be
ginning to teach them to be caught, 60 toward
them on the near side, slowly and cautiously,
making no demonstrations at all. If the animal
begins TO walk off, stop, and whistle, or other
wise manifest indifference, until he comes quiet
again. then approach as before. When you are
so close as to he confident he will not escape
you, speak kindly, and hold up one hand ready
to touch him on the withers, and thence pass il
along the neck until you can get hold of hi,
head, but do not seize him with IL grab, as thi,
tends 10 excite fear afterwards By practicng
this course, using the sign, viz, holding up the
hand when you are little further away each
time horse may be taught to stop and be
caught, even when in considerable glee (plny.
ng). simply by holding up the hand and using
some familiar phrase, such as aphoa bon, Sc.
BY way of caution, however, watch his actions
and intentions closely during his tutoring, and il
at any time or from any cause you see that he
is going to run, do not by any means say any
thing or hold up your hand as the sign given
and disobsyed few times will almost inevitably
prevent your making anything out of it in future

PURCHASE OF a PAIR OF SHOES IN NASHVILLE

pnLusIoNs AS TO pAYoNnr WOUNDS.

The popular idea of soldiers in a bayonet
charge struggling hand to hand and fnee to fpcN
with fixed bayoueis, is likely TO be exploded like
many other delusons. We find by referring To
| Gulhrie's commentaries on Army Surgery, that
these struggles never occur. We quote from
that eminent authority -
great deusion is cherished in Great Britain
gu the subject of the bayonet-a sort of mono
lnania very gratifying TO the National vanity,
but not quite in accordance with matter of fact.
Opposing regiments, when formed in line, and
charging with fixed bayonets, never struggle
hand to hand, and foot to foot, and this for the
very best possible reason, that side turns
round and runs away rs soon the other comes
close enough to do mischief doubtless consider
ing that discretion is the better part of yaor --
Small parties of men may have personal conflicts
after an affair has been decided, or in the subse
quent scufile, ii they cannot get out of the way
fast enough. The battle of Mazda is usually
referred TO as n remarkable instance of q bayo-
net fight nevertheless the sufferers, whether
killed or wounded, French English, suffered
from bullets, not bayonets. The lato Sir james
Kennpt commanded the brigade supposed to have
done this feat but he has assured us that no
charge with the bayouet took place, the French
being killed in the line by the fire of muskery;
fact which has of late received a remarkable
confirmation in the published correspondence of
King Joseph Bonaparte, in which Gen Regnier,
writing to him on the subject, says:-
1.-The LIST and Aud regiments charged with
the hayonet until they came within fifteen PAGES
of the enemy, when they turned, ct prrent la
fuitc. The second line, composed ii Polish
troops, had already done the same"
Wounds from bayonets were not less rare in
the Pcninsnlar war. 1t may be that all those
vhA wcie bAyoneted were killed, yet their bodies
were seldom found. A certain fighting regiment
had the misfortune, one very misty morning to
have large number of men carried OH by Il
charge of Polish lancer-, many being alsa killed
The commanding officer concluded they must lie
ill killed. for his men possessed exactly the same
spirit as part Of the French Imperial Guard at
Waterloo. "They might lie killed, but they
could not hy any possibility lie taken prisoners
lie returned them all dead accordingly few
days afterwards they re-appeared, to the aston.
ishment of everybody, having been swept oil by
the cavalry, and had made their escape in the
retreat of the French army through the woods
The regiment from that day obtained the ludic-
rous ma .e of the " Resurrection men
The seige of Sebastopol has furnished many
opportunities for partial land to hand ba, onet
contests, in which many have been killed and
| wounded on all sides, but do not learn that in
any engagements which have taken place regi-
ments advanced against each other in line and
really crossed hayonets as body; although the
individual bravery of smaller parties was fire.

An luNoMINlous RouT 1t is related that a

sweet converse with the girl he had not left be-
hind him, when suddenly the train plunged into
the total darkness of the tunnel. As the car.
gradually emerged into daJ light again, the pas
sengera distinctly saw two heads suddenly di-
an erect position. A cruel wag. seated directly
behind the twain, raised his hand to his lips and
gave it two loud smacks, which reverberated
through the car, calling general attention 10 the
locality. The lady carried og her part well, and
laughed MS if to say that the joke was n good

ELopEMgNr-Ab four O'Clock in the fore
noon Of Friday, September 27th, farmer named
Mr. Robert Doyle, of the vicinity OF il'eagh,
ireland, was aroused from his peaceful and un-
cluuded slumbers by slight noise which secme
to proceed from below stairs Thinking no more
of it, he yielded again to the soothing influence
of balmy repose, and was once more :. locked in
the drowsy embraces of M0rphfUs.p lie awoke
at the expiration of nearly two hours when he
considered it high time TO dress, and repair to
his daily avocaiiOns. Just as he was taking his
departure, he perceived that the outer door Of
his dwelling had been unlocked during the night,
and was lying partially open. THIS fact some
what startled him. for owing to circumstances,
which il is unnecessary here to recnpitulate, he
always made it point of duty 10 carefully Sc
cure and fasten the door himself, prior to retir-
ing to rest each night. Mr. Doyle called on his
daughter who usually occupiel an apartment
"Oyerhead," and who, except her aged father,
was the sole inmate Of the house, to know if she
could give any satisfactory account of the mat
ter but the echo of his own voice WAS the only
response returned to the vehement repetition Of
Mary" Are you there, Mary ?"-" Why
don't you answer, Mary % After some time
spent in sany pndeayoring to make his daugh-
ter hear him, he proceeded up stairs towards her
bed room, when, alas! he found that the bird

they went to be "spccd" in, when the young
lady, feeling in her soul the poignant throes Of

anguish at this uugrateful return to her parent,
despite the entrcaties and chagtin Of her para
mour, She insisted on being conveyed back to
her aunt's house, which is within easy access of
her own, and there, unknown to the prying eyes
of her neighbOrs, She remained for week, and
ultimately resumed her domestic management Of
her fathers home. 1t is whispered that she

Dost thou seek star with thy swelling crest,
Oh wave that lavest thy mothers breast?
DOst thou leap from the prisoued depths below
In scorn Of their calm und constant How
Or ant thou seeking some distant land
To die in mnrmurs upon the strand?
Hast thou tales to tell of the pcarl-lit deep,
Where the wave whelmed mariner rocks in sleep
Canst thou speak of navcs that sunk in pride
Ere the roll Of their thunder in echo died?
What trophies, what banners. are floating free
In the shndowy depths of the silent seay
1t were vain to ask, MS thou rollcsl afar,
OF banner, or mariner, ship cr star;
1t were vain to seek in thy stormy face

Thou art swelling high, thou art flashing ficr,
How win are the questions We ask of thee
