Effect OF Kindness to Animals

OF the 'Iractical Farmer, Gin the education

His success has been but a confirmation of mv

that whenever a horse or q COW or an OK ia

The kind, gentle, and cunsiderate master will
generally have kind, gentle animals whilo
tho RUDE, impctuous and cruel master will
rarely fail to have animals whose dispositions
will mate with his own. Is not gentlcness
the true method? God has given those poor
brutes for our use they minister to our wants,
are patient and accomplishing, and certainly
deserve such treatment at our hands as will
show that we properly appreciate tho kindness
of the Almighty in giving them to us for the
purpose of adding to our comfort."'
The SITUATION IN EURopE--The CONT
nuance of peace in Europe, in spite of all re-
cent changes, depends more upon France
than upon any other European power. Rus.
sal, Austria, Prussia, ore all 50 much bent on
carrying out domestic reforms, that nothing
but the direst necessity will allow them to
think of war. The amioable and satisfactory
settlement Of the Franco Belgian difficulty
has removed the only cause of war which was
really alarming. The present reform move.
ment in France has assumed that particular
character which, to say tho least, renders for.
oign war extremely improbable. Tho game
which Napoleon now has in hand is much
more important than the humbling of Prussia
or tho acquisition of a few squire miles of ter.
ritory. 1t is q fact not without deep signif.
cance that, simultaneously with the Inaugural.

has taken steps to reduce the effective strength
Of tho army. We have little doubt that tho
example Of France will be generally inflated.
The huge Of Europe are a curse
not only to the different nations, but to the
world. France has an available force Of /,

can each count on almost as many. Italy is
