look again at the manner Of the pious
mans enjoyment Of life, and its results.
lie places as I have before shown, the law
of God, as found in the Scriptures and in
his own constitution, as rein on the neck
Of his sensational and emotional nature,
and thus restraints it from what is sinful.
While he avoids excess, he eexHacts every
lawful object thit can act upon his senses
and emotions. Thus lie enjoys life slow
"; he gratifes, but does not cloy his ap-
petites; hence he knows nothing Of the
nausea of satietg, the ennui of exhaustion,
or the fullness of abused powers. His
vital forces remain vigorous and abund-
ant, the currents Of life flow BEAUTIFULLY
along his veins; life is to him a daily BEN
ison. lie enjoys his exeerSe, and hay
ing thus carefully husbanded his vital for
ces until; by natural expenditure, they are
exhausted, he inallypasses from a peace
iul doath-bel into an honorable grave.

THE PRESIDENTS LAsT.-The
'Prcsident's last" must be recorded.
It's omission would be objectionable.
1t is as follows: A gentleman recently
from Richmond, called at the White
House, few days since, and, in an in
toryiew with Mr.. Lincoln, said there
were Union men and Union prisoners
enough in the rebel capital to take
the town oG any time. lie advised that
Mead's army be employed to divert
Lee, while Butler was sent to attack
Richmond with few thousand mon.
This reminded the President Of a.
story he once heard ont in Illinois.
There was a Theological Seminary
a short distance from town, and a
small stream had to be crossed on q
bridge to get at it. The creek over
flowed occasionally and carried the
bridge away. The theologians called
a meeting to see if they could not find
an architect who would build a pcrma-
ncnt bridge-one that could resist
the food, and would not be swept
away every year. One brother said he
knew of such man, and sent for him
Immediately. The builder arrived
and was asked if he could bridge the
stream. lie replied, with great en-
phasis, that he "could build bridge
clear to hell, if paid enough. =,
The theologians, highly indignant,
Immediately dismissed him from their
presence, and the brother who had
introduced him was called upon to
apologize for him. II am sorry for
the offence, he gave you, brethren, -
said he, "but he is a good architect,
and Ireally believe he could build a
bridge to the place he spoke Of, but
/ wouldn't be SO sure of the abutment
on the other side
So it was with the Unionists in
Richmond. Lincoln believes Butler
was avery good officer, but he had some
doubts about the other end of the
story. lie wasn't so true about the
Union abutment in Richmond.

thoroughbred horse produce excellent
carriage horses. The colts must not be
neglected in their early keeping. Ifthey
are starved when young and afterwards
forced by high feeding, shangles, distenn-
per- roaring, lameness, etc, viii be the
result.
Mr.. D. thinks saddle horses should
have the back bone slightly arched, while
draught horses should be rather hollow
backed. He thinks this very important.
Mr.. D. thinks that while great improve
mont has taken place in cattle, sheep and
pigs, thoroughbrodhorses have rotrogaded.
He attributes this in a great measure to
the fashion Of running horses when two
or three years old, and to their being re-
quired to carry only light weights He
says:
Il saw the commencement Of the evil /;
Inow sec the consequence. There was
no longer amy induccment to breeders to
retain their great strong two year old colts;
thoy could not run at that age, neither
could at three years old struggle with
moderate sized horses. The best horse
over produced in England could not race
at two nor at three years old; he was not
only the fastest and stoutost Of amy period

OCCUPATToN.-0ccupation? what a
glorious thing it is for the human
heart. Those who work hard seldom
Weld themselves entirely up to fan
cicd or real sorrow. When grief sits
down, folds its hands, and mournfully
feeds upon its own tears, weaving the
dim shadows, that little exertion
might sweep away, into a funeralpill,
the strong spirit is shorn of its might,
and sorrow becomes our MASTER
When troubles fow.upon you, dark
and heavy, toll not with the waves
wrestle not with the torrent-rather
seek, by occupation, to divert the
dark waters that threaten to over
whelm you, into a thousand channels
which the duties p life always pres
ont. Before you dream Of it, those
waters will fertilize the present, and
give birth to fresh flowers that may
brighten the future-aowers that viii
become pure and holy, in the sunshine
which penetrates to the path of duty,
in spite of every obstacle. Grief, af-
ter all, is but a selfish feeling; and
most selfish is the man who yields
himself the indulgence of any passion
which brings no joy to his fellow man.
