Make the Horses Work.

Horses were designed as beasts OF
burthen, to relieve mankind from fatig-
uing drulgcry. 1t does not hurt them
to work hard, if they are treated kindly.
is not the hard drawing and ponder
Gus loads that wear out horses, and that
make them poor, baulky and worthless
but it is the hard driving, the worrying
by rough and inhuman drivers, that uses
up more horse flesh, fat and muscle
than all the labor team performs.
Consider the ponderous loads that
many teams are required 10 cart every
day, and several times q day, and yet
they appear to grow fatter and stronger
every year They are treated kindly
On the contrary, other horses, that do
not perform half the labor, soon grow
poor and give out, and the next we hear
Of them is, they died with the harness
on. Hard work does not kill them; but
the fretting, worrying and abuse did the
job.
Horses will do all the moving and
reaping on large farm, thrash the grain,
pitch the hay, turn the grindstone,. saw
the wood, and perform almost all the
heavy labor that farmers have been &C
customed to do, and grow fat, if they
are not worried and jerked and kicked
about as if they were living football.

A Home illustration.

Judge Allen of Illinois, in a recent
speech in Indianapolis, thus gave home
illustration of the Radical scheme of
tax exemption for the bondholders
A bondholder in your neighborhood,
having invested 100000 in bonds, takes
his family in his carriage for pleasure
ride upon your highways. AS they GO
along, his wife says to him:
"Why, these roads are better than
they used to be-"
She asks, show was it done2'
He answers, 1.-The road tax was col
lected last spring, and this was then
made a free road"
We'll, my dear, how much did you
have to pay?"
Nothing at all, my money is invested
in Government bonds, and Congress
says it is not right for me, to pay any
taxes upon my bonds"
"Weli," says she, this is good for you,
hut little hard for the rest"
They ride on ard come to a beautiful
school house everything comfortable for
children nice grounds, and a cool well
Of water.
Why says his wife, "here is a nice
school house put up since we last rode
along How much did you pay towards
that p
80, not anything You know that
was done 10y tax They had to collect
ten or twenty cents upon every one hun
dred dollars worth Of property in the
district to build this house. My old
neiehbor had to pay this upon his lots,
and that widow lady over there paid too,
and they made it up, But don't have
to pay any tax. My money was invest
ed in bonds, and Congress would not
let me pay"
That is good for you," says the wife,
'sbut little hard on the rest of them ~
There is big school there" says the
bondholder, "and they have hireda good
teacher Our four little children ought
to go to school this winter. l guess we
had better get them ready. Perhaps
next year we will send them off to col.
lege. We will not have to pay to school
them All that is collected off the 9th
er property Of the country. My bond:
don't have to pay any taxes you know.

New Postage Stamps.

" d. - |..
2 The new postage stamps that
will soon be distributed by the
Department, are entirely new
and novel, and are described as
follows: The two cent stamp
represents a post-boy on a horse
running at tull speed; on the
three cent stamp there is o
fiaelytengrase locomotive sus::
rounded by lightning; the five
cent stamp has an excellent
portrait OF Washington; the
ten cent stamp has a micro
scopical copy Of thesignihg of
the Declaration Of Independ-
encG the twelve cent stamp,
mostly used for foreign post,
age, has a picture of a steam er
at sea- the thirty cent stamp
has a copy Of a painting Of the
surrender. of B1rgoyne. One
of the, characteristics rofthe'
stamps manufactured by this
company is that the ink used
prevents persons washing and
using the stamps a second time.
The fibre in the centre of the
stamp is broken completely.
and they adhere better, while
the ink of the cancellation
sinks into the paper The, en-.
cravings on the stamps are re-
markable copies of historical
pictures, and will bear the test
of microsc opic al examination.
