four quarts Of oats, then long hay is offered /;
at noon, eight quarts Of oats ut night, a
scoop shovel full of cut feed, consisting OF
chaffed hay and straw, inierming1ed with
wheat shorts and meal. The night feed is
always the heaviest. They use 200 pounds
Of shorts day for forty horses, and only
about ton of hay month. They like
oats ground with corn, but thiuk clear corn
too hearty. Rye makes g horse weak and
stumble. Rye straw is the best of straws
for feed, but all horses do not love it. The
horses are fed regularly, a little food this
way being considered better than a large
quantity at random. Water is given three
times day, the two last times with pail

on horse manure when horses have coarse

Horses vary in their need, but fifteen
pounds of hay and meal each, a day, or
hundred pounds each a week, is enough for
most horses. A peck of corn weighs about
fourteen pounds. A man that gives six
quarts of meal at one feed, usually has
poor horse, and shows bis ignorance of feed

hence a horse should have less than usual
just before and after hard drive. Water

Too much water scours horse aud de

RY WILLIAM II. BukLEIGH.

Lordl Thou hast given us one day in seven,
That to our souls Sabbath 1t may be,
Predctive of the holier rest of Heaven,
And Of nearer intercourse with Thee.
Thanks for the boonl and give us grace, we
pray,
By thought of Thee to sanctify the day.
Help us TO cast the cares of earth aside,
Shake off its dust, forget its toll and din.
And sweetly walk with Him, the Crucifed,
Strong in the love that triumps over sin.
So shall these hours the golden ladder be
By which, through prayer, our souls may
climb to Thee.
For all the Joy this holy morning brings
For all its beauty, in the earth or sky,
Its clouds, its Sunshine, and the rushing wings
OF the free BIRDS and the waters leaping by,
And the flowers that bloom in fragrant thank
fullness-
Our hearts adore Thee and Thy goodness bless.
Oh not alone in temples made with hands,
Where, on their velvet cushions thousands
kneel,
And the stold priest before the altar stands,
While the air trembles with deep organ-peal,
May we find God, and feel his presence dear,
Clasping our spirits like an atmosphere.
But in old groves as well, and where the steams
Flash through the wales, and by oceans edge,
Nnen tne Speub wave ClcoPS up thO eduusJ
and seems
To whisper some strange legend to the sedge,
Or with majestic impulse filings afar
Its billowy anthem till the firm rocks jar.
And on the breezy hills, from which the eye
Can see wide reaches of the level plain
Stretching afar beneath the summer sky,
With blossoming orchards and with fields
of grain,
And here and there, to brighten more the
scene
A farmhouse peeping from its bower of green.
Oh! sweet to worship with the throng
Who to Thy earthly temples, Lord, repair |;
And sweet it is the woods and fields among,
To hear the untaught singers of the air,
And read in budding leaf and opening flower,
The record of Thy goodness and Thy power.
So would we hallow all the sacred day
Not with dull rites, nor in monastic gloom,
That drives the sunlight from our souls away,
And turns our worship to martyrdom-
But with glad hearts and spirits unafraid
To drink delight from all that Thou hast made.
Nor let the bigot deem its hours mispent
By genial converse, or the quet stroll
meadows where the lilies preach con-
tent,
And breathe their dewy fragrance through
the SOUL
In field or chuch, his Sabbaths are not lost
Who keeps with God holy Pentacost.

Pres ident Lincoln's Last Speech in
Springfield.

Now when the heart is full and lips
cannot speak too much in praise of our la
mented President, it is benehttng to recall
that impressive and affecting scene at the
depot 10 Springfield, on the 12'h day Of
February, 1861, when his friends crowded
around him to say farewell, on his departure
for Washington. The simple. touching
eoquence OF those few sentences, spoken
in a manner sad aud impressive, caused
them then to find place in the heart OF
every patriot, and OBJ, how precious are
they now. He left his home TO assume
a task more difficult than that which de.
volved upon Washington. The great G cd
he then CO led upon, asss ed him, and his
task is completed. The world has turned

be when his friends gather to the same
place where was spoken his farewell, to

ask you, if, in question so great as
that which concerns your immortal welfare,
you will venture out of life upon no other
expectation Of salvation than this; that
God will perhaps somehow give you a
chance to repair the mistakes of this life
which have taken form in your crystalline
character? Call to mind those laundering
declarations Of The Word of God respect
ing the condition OF the wicked And
did you ever notice that the most solemn
warnings Of future misery are those which
were uttered, not by the Apostles, not
by the disciples, but by the sweet speak
jug Christ? Now, while the simple
declarations of the Saviour wa every
man to repent, now and here, and so fee
from the wrath to come, on what ground
will you hope that, by rejecting the over.
lures OF mercy. you shall have another
chance in the life to come? You would
not insure anything thnt had as few
probabilities in its favor as man who is
persistently wicked against the light of
knowledge, aud who dies with no other
hope than that which is founded in the
conception that God will somehow give
him another chance. The word of God
gives hope here. 1t is unequivocal in its
declarations in respect to the provision
that has been made for the recovery of
transgressors. The vilest sinner may be
rescued. Where the most incorrigibe
habits have been fastened on a man, like
shackles and chains, there is power to
solve the links, aud to melt them as with a
lightning touch. There is power to
change character this side the grave; but
where is there evidence there is any power
to change it on the other side? There are
solemn declarations to the contrary in the
Word of God
