NOVEL MoDE OF MANAGING A Res.
TIVE HoRsE-On Saturday last groom
mounted on high melted hunter, en-
tered the High street of Coldstream, and,
when opposite sirJohn Majoribank's mon
ument, the horse began to plunge and
rear to a fearful extent, swerving to the
right and then to the left, but go forward
he would not, nor could all the exertions
Of the groom overcome his obstinacy.-
The street-was filed with people expect
ing to see the animal destroy himself on
the spikes of the iron railing around the
monument, when Mr. McDougal, saddler
walked up to the groom and said: II
think. my man, you are not taking prop
er method to make the horse go; allow
me. ifyou please, to show you a trick worth
knowing" "Well," says the groom, if
you can make him go it's more than I
can )" when Mr. McDouesl iooS piece
Of whipcord, which he tied with firm
knot on one Of the animals ears, which
he bent gently down, fastened the end Of
the string to the check buckle of the
bride, which done, he patted the horses
neck once or twice, and sad, ''Now let me
see you goqaietly home like good horse"
and, astonishing to relate, it moved off as
gently as if nothing had happened, Mr..
MeDougal says he has seen, in London,
horses which no manner of force could
make 60, while this mild treatment was
always successful. Chronicle.

Use OF VINE Professor Agazziz in
his evidence before the Massachusetts
Legislature committees on the prohibito-

JOY the efforts to cultivate grapes in this
country, as he considered such cultivation
one of the best means of making tem-

culture was more general there would be
no need fora prohibitory law. Hc stated
that temperance societies had assisted in
importing pure wines into Norway, and
that in that country and in Denmark and
Sweden, intemperance had been greatly
checked by the introduction >of such
wines and fermented liquors specially
beer. lie expressed amazement at the
interference OF our government with the
modes of living of the people. He had
no doubt that our facilities-especially in
Ohio, Missouri and California--were as
favorable torvine growing as those of Eu-

a profitable part Of our agriculture aud

History Eeueatlmg ItseIi.

A Western editor shows how the thing
is being done in the following encourage
ing style He says: Several years ago,
u couple Of persons had a fight. Ones
name was Roderick Dhu, and the other $
Jeelnes Fits James. They fought Oil the
bank Of a creek. Mr.. Dhu weighed about
24U, while his antagonist was asmall sized
mali, but gritty cuss. Mr.. Dhu had
whipped everything in the neighborhood,
and j. t.. j. tried to compromise the
trouble with him. But it was no use !:
nothing would Dhu but condition, and
at they went. They fought threerounds,
in each Of which the big fellow came off
considerably second best. 1t Was against
the rules to ':chnch, but the big fellow,
Knowing his gigantic herculeanslze wonld
give him the advantage in a rough-and-
tumble, (and not just knowing what else
to do) h. grabbed underhclts and crushed
Mr.. james to the earth. lie fell on his
back. The said Dhu then proceeded to
put his knee on the breast Of the game
little fellow, and to take him by the throat
with his left hand, while with his right
he drew a tirst-cass bowie knife. he
bystanders all thought the JIG was up with
Mr.. James, but it wasn't. On the contra
~. just as the big pursy chap was about
to strike the finishing blow. he found
that he had oyerdone himself, and sus-
pended specie payment yielded up the
ghost. Mr.. James then got up, brushed
off his clothes, picked up his hat, and,
turning on his heel, wassoon out OF sight

wark lived pious family who had adopt
ed an orphan, who, by the way, was rath-
or unidentified. He had inbbed strict
views on religious matters, however, and
once asked his adopted mother if she
didn't think it wrong for the old farmers
to come to church aud fall asleep paying
no better regard to the service. She re-
piled she did. Accordingly before going
to church the next Sunday, he filed his
pocket with apples: One baldheaded old
man who invariably went to sleep durin:;
the sermon, particularly attracted his at
tention. Seeing him at last nodding, and
giving usual evidence Of being in the
land of dreams" he took the astonisLed
sleeper blow with an apple Oh the top
Of his bald pate. The minister and arous-
cd congregation at once turned round
and Indignantly gazcd at the boy, who
merely said to the preacher, as he took
another apple in his hand, with a sober,
honest expression of countenance, you

LIFE INsURANCE.-No institution of mod
ern times has grown so rapidly in public esti-
nation as this, and every days experience
and observation only serves to increase the
arguments in favor of it. AS a sample pre-
caution to protect those who have been de-
pendent on US while living, from poverty and
suffering after we are dead, it surely com
mends itself to all who are not so base as to
be lost to that sentiment which is strong eyea
in the lowest animals. This we may call the
selfish uses of it. Next to this, desire to pro-
tect ones creditors is more liberal use for
it. Many men, who have become involved by
pecuniary misfortunes, feel perfectly certain
that if their lives arc spared for term OF
years they will be able to meet all their obli-
cations; but if they do not, then their csta-
ties must be scattered to the winds at sacr-
fee, and bankrupt be written on their grave
stone. But to avoid this, a few hundr, d
invested in life insurance every year for the
benefit of creditors will relieve him Of all APP
prehensions, enable him to struggle with re-
neWed energy, ana learn 10 we" the approach
Of the 4sking Of terrors" with calmness and
resignation. This was the noble course pur-
sued by Sir Walter Scott when overwhelmed
by the failures of his publishers. He set to
work to redeem his pecuniary credit. Insur-
ing his life for enough to meet his liabilities,
he sat down to write himself square with the
world. and in his devotion to this object he
overworked himself, and his biographer,
Lockhart, gives a painfully interesting ac-
count Of these efforts, pursued until the ''sil-
yer cord was loased and the vince! stood still
at the cistern" Many others of lesser note
have followed his noble example-and all
men who have really correct ideas OF their
duty to their fellow men ought not to hesitate
at ali about doing the same thing-RicAaso"

THE PRESENTATION OF FRUIT TREEs-The
Farmers Club Of the American Institute, of
New York, recently held a meeting, at which
a discussion took place on the best method OF
destroying curcuilo on fruit trees. One Of
the members stated that if a hole was bored in
the body of the tree and filled with sulphur
it would so infect the tree that no insect or
worm would live upon it. Upon some doubt
being expressed as to its efficacy, he said that
he had tried the remedy, and spoke from ex-
perience. The chairman remarked that if
this be a sure preventive, it was worth mil
supply Of fruit in the future. VIC hope
our friends who have orchards will try the
experiment.
