Raise More Horses,

At no time within the ten last years, has
there been so many inducements for tII,.
breeders of horses to double their efforts to
produce animals of this class as now. Their.
are many reasons which have led us to this
conclusion. For some four or five years pa.t
horses have generally brought less prices in
the market than for tour or five wears before
and especially is this true of medium and
ordinary animals, and consequently a less
number than usual has been raised for two
or three years. During the last ten months
almost the entire country has been ransackcd
for horses for the army, and there being u
stagnatiun in most kids Of business, and not
the usual demand for horses for other plr-
poses, those who had such as were not abso-
lutely needed, have sold them for army usr,
and the country is now pretty well dreamed
of good animals. They have gone to the war
and to hard fate, which but few Of them
will survive and find their way back again at
the end of the war, which we pray God may
speedily come. Some will be killed in battle,
while many moro will die from i'll treatment,
neglect, and exposure incident to the camp.
While the war continues there will be con
stant demand upon the country for reinforce
ments of horse flesh, and at its conclusion -
revival Of all kinds of business will speedily
follow, and these useful animals will be called
Tor to engage in the peaceful pursuits Of life.
In any event there must be a demand muc!,
greater than can DO supplied, which must
inevitably operate to raise the price of all
classes of horses much higher than has been
known for several years, or We entirely mis-
take the indications Of the times. We ca,
think OF no branch of stock husbandry th .t
promises to pay so well for the next few years
as the raising Of good horses-and no man
can at any time afford to raise poor ones. 1t
costs just as much to raise mean, worthless
horse as it does to produce good one. \
good horse will always sell much more read
lily in the market than poor creature that is
hardly worth stable room. No breeder, who
has reputation as snch. will produce inferior
animals for the market, for he not only mas il
pride in the matter but he knows full well tho
difference in the profit between them.
Horses Tor all purposes will bo in active
demand for few years to come, while tho
supply, for the reasons given above, must bo
comparatively small: and the demand and
supply always regulate the price OF horses.
cattle, sheep and other animals. as well as
every kind of merchandise. No man who
reflects upon the subject will fail to see at once
that the present isa most favorable time to
extend his means Of raising good horses as q
source OF rcmunerative profits.
No breeder will st II promising colts or
young horses at the present low prices, il h.
believes our theory in this matter to be cor
rect, because they will be likely to pay much
better profits if they are kept until fully

Yorktown.

Yorktown, port Of entry, capital OF York
county, Virginia, is situated on the right
bank of York river, eleven miles from its
mouth. and seventy miles east by southeast
from Richmond. 1t was settled in 1905, and
was once fourishing. The shipping of the
district, June 80. 1854, amounted to an
aggregate of 59l tons enrolled and licensed,
and all employed in the coast trade. Bcfure
the commencement of the rebe lion Yorktown
was = quiet, unobstrusive little village of
between twenty and thirty houses, half of
them uninhabited. with the ruins of tenements
destroyed during Cornwallis's siege visible
evcrywhere.-The American breastworks
were nearly obitcraied, while the more per-
p,anent entertainments of the British were
still comparatively perfect. The outworks
which the latter were compelled to evacuate
on the night Of the 29th Of September, 1881,
lie on the western outskirts OF the town, and
are probably still in good preservation. They
were strong positions, and their abandonment
must have left the portion Of the town in which
they were situated in very exposed condition;
and the American officers when they poss-ss-
ed them, expressed much surprise at their
being voluntarily given up. The most eastern
of tine redoub,s s,ormsd by tho allied forces
on the 10Th of October, 1881, being near the
river, has nearly been washed away that
taken by the French portion may still be
traced. The capture Of these redoubts
rendered the destruction or surrender of the
British forces inevitable, and on the 18th
Cornwallis solicited o truce and agreed to
capitulate. The main works situated on the
eastern edge OF the town, were in excellent
keeping 10 1854, and must have been formida-
BILE when bristling with cannon and Occupied
by soldiers. The embankment was too broad
to be perforated BY cannon shot, and too
steep to be easily scaled BY an assaiant. The
fold where the fornaliiies of the surrender
occurred is a respectable enclosure Of some
hundred acres, and it was about the same in
1881. 1t joins the town on the south The
very spot where Gen O'Harra is said to have
delivered up his sword and apologized for
the absence Of CORVALLIS is now marked
by two poplar frees, which were planted in
comniemoraiion of the event. The field
itself is nearly 4 plain, and is admirably
adopted to the purposes Of drill and parade.
From the top of the hill on VIII: :h the town is
situated there is an excellent view extending
into the Chesapeake Bay, and reaching almost
to the Virginia capea. YORKTOWN formerly
enjoyed quite valuable West Indian trade.
The great natural capabilities of the place as
basis for military operations early attracted
the attention of Jefferson Davis, and there can
be no doubt that the intrenchments construct
ed by tho British in 1871 have been materially
strengthened since the rebellion. When
Yorktown falls, the fate Of the peninsula is
scaled, and tho rout 10 Richmond opened.

war-InHuence on Children.

A lady told ne an amusing family incident,
recently, illustrative Of the manner in which
the military imprint is being given. nowadays,
to all the child's habits OF thought. The lit
tie fellow Gan only son, between four and five
years of age) had passed the day in his new
uniform, " corporal" by general consent :;
and with his commission he seemed very
much delighted. Accontrements laid aside
at bedtime, however, he said his prayers at
his mothers knee and this done, she stopped
as usual for her goodnight kiss. But he
drew himself back with an air of offended
dignity. Do corporals kiss their mothers 2"
he inquired gravely while his little hand kept
her at distance.
1t would bear discussing-the wisdom of
making everything military so attractive to
children's minds! What IS to be done with
a whole generation, that, from earliest infancy
is thus intoxicated with soldering! Would
it not be prudent, ut least, for mothers to
present, wherever occasions offer. a shading
to the picture-somcthing that might tend to
sa6den, or make truer, the boy-cstin,ate of
the solder-lifc7 Instructive, in this way, it
seems to me, is the touching incident which
the correspondent Of contemporary gives to
us, to-day, from the Hospital of ST. Louis:
"a drumm-r-bOy in the agony of death
having been asked where hc was from replied
his mother hid sent him from Mississippi
to fight and defend her home,' and
that he did not regret it, and was ready to do
It again. He wanted to see his mother, and
said 'My mother is good woman, TOO she
would treat poor sick prisoner kindly, and
If she were here, she would kiss me- Il will
kiss you, my child,' said lady, for your
mother;' and she did so. The child was
already at the last gasp, and in few
moments he expired -
In the Boston Transcript, not long since,
there was very exquisite poem which was
written in camp, after battle, and sent by q
soldier-father to his children at home. 1t will
stir good thoughts at any tireside, to read it
aloud:
TO MY CHILDREN.
Darlings, am weary pining;
Shadows fall across my way;
can hardly see the lining
OF the clond-the silver lining,
Turning darkness into day.
am weary Of the signing;
Moaning, wailing through the air
Breaking hearts, in anguish crying
For the lost ones-for the dying;
Sobbing anguish of despair.
am weary of the fighting;
Brothers, red with brothers gore,
Only, that the urong we're righting-
Truth and Honor's battle lighting
would draw my sword no more.
am pining. dearest, pining,
For your kisses on my cheek
For your dear arms round me twining;
For your soft eyes on me shining;
For your loved words, darlings-speak
Tell me, in your earnest prattlc,

My Little Sweetheart,

All! sad are they of whom no poet writes,
Nor ever any story-tcller hears
The childless mothers who on lonesome
nights
Sit bytheir fires and weep, having the chores
Done for the day, and time enough to see
All the wide floors
Swept clean ofplay things they, as needs
must he,
Have ii me enough for tears.
But there are griefs more sad
Than ever any chldless mother had
lou know them, who do smother Natures
cries
Under poor masks
Of smiling, slow despair
Who Put your white and unadorning hair
Out of your way, and keep at homcly tasks

I'LL Death comes to you with his piteous
And to unmarriageble beds you 60,
Saying: " 1t is not much--'tiS we'll, if so
we only be made fair,
And looks of love await US us we rise.''
My cross is not as hard as theirs to bear,
And yet alike to me are storms or calms !;
MY lites s young joy,
The brown-cheeked farmer boy,
Who led the daisies with him like the lambs
Carved his sweet pictures on my milking
pail,
And cut my name upon his thrashing fail,
One day stopped singing at his plow-alas!
Before the summer time was gone, the grass
Had choked the path which to the sheep
field led
Where had watched him tread
So soft on evenings trail
A shining oat-sheaf balanced on his head,
And nodding to the gale.
Rough wintry weather came, and when it
sped,
The emerald wave
Swelling above my little sweatheart's grave,
With such bli 5ht bubbly flowers was set about
thought he blew them out,
And SO took comfort that he was not dead.
For was of a rude and ignorant crew,
And hence believed whatever things | saw
We're the expression of a hidden law;
And with wisdom higher than knew,
Evoked the simple meanings out Of
things
BY childlke questionings.
And he they named with shudderings of fear
Had never, in his life. been half so near
AS when sat all day with cheeks unkissed.
And list ned to the whisper. very low,
l hat said cur love, above Deaths wave of
woe,
Was joined together like the seamless mist.
Gods yea and nay
Are not SO far away,
] said, bat can hear them when please
Nor could understand
Their doubling faith who only touch his hand
Across the blind, bcwildering centuries.
And often yet, upon the shining track
OF the old faith, come back
My childish fancies never quite subdued,
And when the sunset shuts up in the wood
The whispcry sweetness of uncertainty,
And Night, with misty locks that loosely
drop
About his years, brings rest, welcome
boon,
Playing his pipe with many starry stop
That makes u golden snarling in his tune
] see my little lad
luder the leaty shelter of the boughs,
Driving his noiseicss, visionary cows,
Clad in beauty alone can see.
Laugh, you who never had
Your dead come back but do not take from
me
The harmless comfort of my foolish dream,
That these, our mortal eyes,
Which outwardly reflect the earth and skies,
Do iutropert upon eternity
Aud that the shapes you deem
lmaginations, just as clearly fall
Each from its own divine original,
And through some subtitle element of light,
Upon the inward, spiritual eye,
AS do the things which round about them
lie,
Gross and material on the external sight.
