thing more beauliful than the
following from the pen Of Geo.
D. Prentice:
"There is but q breath Of
air and a beat of the heart be-
twiXt this world and the next.
And in the brief interval OF
painful and awful suspense,
while we feel that death is
present with US, that we are
powerleSs, and He, all power
ful, and the faint pulsations,
here is but the prelude Of end
less life hereafter, we feel in
the midst Of the stunning
calamity about TO belall us,
that the earth has no compen-
sating good TO mitigate the so-
verify of our loss. But there
is no grief without some beuei-
cient provisions to softer it,.

and lovely die, the ,ner,lorv Of
their good deeds, Ike. the moon
beams On The 2tormy sea. light
up our dalke1ed hearts and
lends to the surrounding
gloom a beauty so sad, so
sweet, that we would not, if
we could, dispel the darkness
that enyirons it,"

Scientific american, says that n horseman
should never "shy" himself when the horse
shies, or show tho least nervousness, nor
notice it in their horses, and far less to
punish them for it, and adds:
Allow me, having had great deal of
experience in mnasiug horses, to add
another bit of advicet to nervous horscmen.
Whenever they notice their horse drec-
ling lis ears TO any point whatever: or
indicating The slightest disposition to be-
come afraid, let them, instead OF pulling
the rein TO bring the horse towards the
object causing its nervousness, pull it on
the other side. This will instantly divert
the attention Of the horse from the o!iect
which is exciting his suspicion, ami in
ninctyninc cases out Of hundred tho
horse will pay no more attention to the OBJ
ject, from which he will fly away ifforcibly
drivento by pulling the wrong rein.

Over Tic River, The Mystic liver,
Ny childhoods idols are waiting for me-
For none return from t!c qi::ct shores
Who cross with the boat lan cold and blue
VIC hear ;hc dip Of the golden oars,
We cath n glcam Of the snowy SAIL
And, o, they haze passed from our heart
They cross the stream and are gone for aye
Vic cannot sunIcr ;hc veil apart,
Il.ai hides fram our vision Tic gates Of day ::
We only know that their La"ks no more
Shall sal! will, ours on lirc's stormy sea,
Yet somehow hope Gm the unseen shore,
They watch, and lcckcn, aud wal. for me.
And I set aII think when tie sunsct's gold
l. ii':Si.in" river. amd Lii! ani shore,
shall Lite dny stand by the water coil,
And liz! 10 tho sound Ct the hoaima,ls oar:
>!a!! watch Cor the s'cam of The iarling sail,
shall hear the l,vat az il gains the strand,
s!:al pi2. cton sight with t.,c toatn,an raic
70 the better sicrc Of the Spin, Land:
shall know the loved who have gone before,
Anu j"yfuily sweet will Tie meeting be,
When over the River, the peaceful River,
The Angel Of Death shall carry me.
