Abolish the Check Rein.

In pamphlet recently put forth by
the American Society for the prevention
of cruelty to animals, we find the follow
ing sensible remarks:
Il am anxious, in this place, to add
my anathema against that inhuman in
strument of torture, the check-rein. 1t
is not less detrimental to the utility of
the animal than it is replete with agony
to him. 1t must have been invented by
a savage, and can only be employed by
the insensate. Whence the benefit of
unbearing draught horse when going
up hill? Because the head can then be
thrown into its natural position, and ma
terially assist by its weight in drawing
the load. If it is beneficial to loose the
head at that time, it must be also so on
other occasions. Look at the elongated
mouths of the unfortunate animals thus
so wantonly abused-torn by the bit 10
their unavailing efforts to overcome this
truly barbarous instrument. What pro-
duces that dreadful disease, pollevll, but
the action of this cruel strap, constrain-
ing the head during the violent exertions
of the animal, producing inflammation and
liberation of the point upon which it ar
ticulates with the spine?"

On Swearing.

Cowper was an English poet. He
wrote beautiful hymns. He wrote some
lines also about swearing, which it would
be worth while for every boy in the land
to learn.
1t chills my blood to hear the blest Supreme
Rudely appealed to on each trlhing theme;
Maintain your rank; vulgarity despise;
To swear is neither brave, polite, nor wise"
If you wish never to swear big oaths,
the best plan is not to make use of little
ones.
Some who would not swear by the name
of God, think nothing of swearing "dy
George" or "by jinge," or by something
else; others often cry out, "gOOd gra-
cious, or ''mercy on me-" and the like.
These are the beginnings of swearing
They are to profane swearing what acorns
are to the oak.
Our Saviour said, when on earth,
"Let your yea be yea, and your nay,
nay; for whatsoever is more than this,
cometh of evil" This means we should
use, plain, simple language. David had
short prayer to this point" Set a
watch, 0 Lord, before my mouth; and
keep the door of my lips.
Let the children make it their prayer

About the Feet and Shoes.

The feet should be placed in basin of
cold water every morning for few sec
onds, just deep enough to cover the toes
wipe dry, dress, and walk off. Once or
twice week the feet should be held in
water, made comfortably warm, for some
ten minutes, adding hotter water from
time to time, using little soap; if at the
end of this bathing at night the feet were
placed in pan of cold water, toe-deep,
for less than quarter of minute, 1t
would greatly aid in giving tone to the
skin, vigor to the circulation, and soft
ness to the skin, and thus do much to-
ward keeping them comfortably warm.
A tablespoonful of chloride of lime in a
basin of warm water is an excellent wash
for removing foot odor. Before retiring
to bed, most especially in fire time Of
year, hold both feet before blazing fire,
stockings removed, for ten minutes at
least, rubbing them with the hands all
the time until they feel perfectly dry and
warm; such process will warm the feet
more effectually in five minutes than can
be done in an hour by holding them to the
fire with stockings and shoes on.
Sometimes, without apparent cause, a
person will suddenly wake up to the
knowledge that his feet are cold, and a
disagreeable sensation is caused which
peryades the whole body, and the mind
aud temper become fretful and morose
this is often the case in the very midst of
summer; when this is observed you are
taking cold, and you should instantly treat
the feet to blazing fire as named above;
if this is not practicable, give them hot
foot bath as just directed; in either case
you will not only avert the cold, but you
will experience feeling of comfortable
ness which is absolutely delightful; this
same kind of bath is the speediest and
most comfortable means of warming the
feet when they are found to be uncomfor-
tably cold after coming in from a walk,
or long days work.
Many ways have been devised for rem
dering the upper leather of shoes imper-
vious to water; much better plan is to
keep out of the water, for whatever will
keep water out will also keep the perspi-
ration and ill odor always in. Some
persons feet are smelled a mile off,
more or less. To make leather impervi-
Gus is to make it board-like, hard, I'M
yielding, and hot as fire of summers
day; but if it be absolutely necessary at
any time to wear shoe which shall ex-
,lude water, the application of castor oil
,r petroleum with BRUSH and then allow
t to dry, is perhaps the most familiar,
accessible, and facile mode known. If
he space between the upper leather and
he sole of pegged shoes is occasionally !

How does Your Horse Feed and Lie?

The Farmer, Richmond has some good re-
marks on this subject
/" The crib or manger in most stables is too
high and the horse in eating is obliged to hold
his head at too great an elevation for his own
comfort. This is matter that should at once
be remedied, for the stable should be so con-
structed rs to give the horse the greatest free
dom while confined in it, and allow him to
stand, recline or eat in as natural position as
possible. But men claim to be masters over
this NOBLE patient animal, and compel him,
even at his own discomfort to conform to their
own ideas of treatment-hence he is subjected to
many forms of torture both in the harness and
the stable, which could be completely avoided
if they would but study his constitution and
habits and be willing to provide for them in
every possible direction. This can certainly be
done to some extent in the construction of sta
bles, and the health and comfort of the horse
greatly promoted thereby. First build them
high both to secure ventilation and to guard
against the possibility of the horse hitting his
head against the beams or flooring at the top
from which cause many of the cases of poll evil
are nave inc DOJUOHl VI Tue SIdll
ncline forward so that the hind feet Of the horse
when in the stall will be slightly elevated above
the forward ones and follow this by making
crib, from which the horse is to eat, upon level
with the floor. This will then be a sensible sta
ble-one that will give comfort to the horse even
if It's looks do not quite conform to the standard
OF ideas regarding them, heretofore common
among farmers and stable men.
The horse is naturally grazing animal. Sum-
mer and winter all his food is obtained by crop
ping it from the ground. In doing this his fore
feet are often extended sideways, and his teeth
brought on level with them Now how con-
trary from all this, and how unnatural is his
confinement in the stable and the position of his
head and neck when getting his food from high
rack or crib, elevated above feed box that
comes in contact with his breast in every effort
he makes to procure it. Should not this matter
be remedied at once, and may we not expect
that every person owning a horse will see to it
that hereafter crib or feed box is provided, at
least on Leuel loih the breast Of the horse if cir
cumstances do not admit of its being placed
lower The objection that in low manger the
horse wastes great deal of the hay, need have
no weight, as if fed regularly, and given each
time no more than he can eat, the horse will get
very little under his feet.

The Winter Holidays.

Christmas, and New Years. How
the little ears tingle with joy at the men
ton of those words. Christmas is a day
so brimful of pleasure, that it OveraowS
all the following week. But New Years
lifts his icy fingers saying, "Thus far
shalt thou come, but no farther" These
companion days, that bound the narrow
week of joy-the only festal week of the
Christian year-thOugh anticipated, and
remembered with similar delight, on ac-
count of their festive scenes and joyous
gifts, are yet as different as a gay and
thoughtless child, and serious youth
just entering upon real life.
How we have loved to lie concealed,
with one eye half open, on Christmas Eve,
to watch jolly old Santa Claus (whO, by
the way, takes on any shape he pleases,
from the merry little maiden, to dear old
grandpa in his night-cap) while he fills
the long row of stockings, little and big
with books, and candies, and toys; and
then instead of ascending the chimney
in cloud of smoke from his pipe, turns
and enseonces himself snugly in bed, in
full view of the merry scene which he
anticipates the next morning. Ipresume
some of my little readers may have caught
him pretending to be mapping just as the
rest of the household, from the youngest
to the Oldest, were creeping out of their
warm nests. How their bright eyes glist-
en-, and their shouts of surprise and
laughter ring out. They have hardly
time to dress or eat, till the great dinner
smokes upon the table. All day long
the clatter of little feet, and cries of
"Merry Christmas, " greet every caller
or passerby, and leave no room for sad
ness. 0 was there ever a holiday like
Christmas? No, my dears; not just like
it. But though We confess Christmas is
very delightful, We think New Years is
better. Shall tell you why?
1. Because on Christmas we live in
the present; but on New Years, if we
are wise, We take an earnest look at life
in both directions. As Janus, the hea-
then namesake of the first month, was
represented as looking in two opposite
directions at the same time, so the pill
grim on the journey of life, seems to ar
rive, every New Years, at the highest
point in some great dividing ridge, from
which we may enjoy clear outlook,
both before and behind.
Now the reason why this opportunity
of reflection. which New Years affords,
is better than the thoughtless mirth of
Christmas, is that which the wise man
gives, for prefering the house of mourn
ing to the house of feasting. Not that
the sadness, caused by the mistakes and
fOlhes of the past, is good in itself,
but because the wise will lay these mis-
takes to heart
?. 1t is a day Of new beginnings. As
We look back upon the year just closed
and mourn over our crooked paths, and |
S ad mishaps, and earth-stained garments, |
a good little angel, called Hope, wipes

Rev. Alexander McGlashan.

1t was rare that this interchangeable
worker rode for any considerable distance
upon railway train, steamboat, or other
conveyance, without supply all the pas
sengers with tract, and holding numer-
Gus brief conversations with them. On
the cars bound to Geneva at time when the
Episcopal Convention was about to meet
there, McGlashan CHANGING to be a pas
senger, went through the train as usual
with his package of Nassau-street docu-
ments. He met no refusal until he came
TO the seat where Bishop Onderdonk was

The Power of Musician Anecdote of
Mendelssohn

There is pleasant incident related of
Mendelssohn, who went one hot summer
to rest his overtaxed brain in Zurich
There he was besieged by eager admirers,
but would accept of no invitation, until
hearing that the blind pupils of the Blind
School were anxious, as they said, to
"see him." he visited them. He spoke
to the sightless assembly in the kindest
words, and listened to their songs and
choruses, some even of their own compos-
ing, with interest and pleasure. And
then the great musician asked permission
to sit down at their piano, and wandered
away into one of those wild and tender
strains of speaking melody for which he
was so famous. His silent, wrapt audi
ence listened so intently to "The Song
without Words" that a pinfall would
have broken the stiffness. One by one
over the eager faces crept the air Of deep,
quiet joy, until in the midst Of the great
flood of mingling harmonies, voice came
to them out of the very chorus they had
just been sir ging. Then their enthusl-
asm knew no bounds. The great master
had carried them away, at his will, to
heights of joy and triumphant praise be-
fore unknown; he had whispered to them
of sorrow, and the cloudy ways of life,
in words of soft, unbroken tenderness;
and now he. stirred their inmost depths
by strain of their own weaving, into
which he poured new tide of living
song, new grace, and new meaning. No
words could tell what they felt; they
could have pressed him to their very
hearts for joy. This was not long before
the great musicians death; but he still
lives in the Blind School at Zurich, and
there still remains, as precious relic, the
masters chair in which he sat.
