Nnrel nIode OF MIN mOrses.

The Icelanders have a.curious custom,
and a most effectuaI one, OF preventing
horses straying. Two gentlemen, for IN
stance, are riding together without atten-
dants, and, wishing to alight for the pur-
nose of visiting some objects at distance
from the road, they tie the tail of one
horse to the head of the other, and the head
of this to the tail of the former. In this
state tits utterly impossible that they can
move either backwards or forwards, one
pulling one way and the other the reverse
and, therefore, if disposed to move at all
it will be only in a circle, and even ther
there must be an agreement TO have thel
heads in the same direction.

THE LIGHTHOUSE.

IH ~ LlGThI=hOO9E
Above me, from its rocky height, r
The Lighthouse rises, arm and bold
The su6 CLEANS on its walls Of white,
And bathes them in a liquid gold,
While meath its feet,
with ceaseless beat,
The ocean surges, uncontrolled.
For years the Light-hOuao there has stood
Winter and Summer, still the same,
And sent across the trackisss flood,
The saving blessing Of is fame
That, burning bright,
Through darkest night
Has won for it an honored name. r
All azure blue, I scarce can see
Ths line where sky and water meet,
While fOam-tlpped from the laughing see
The waves come dancing 70 ny teeti
Where sss-weeds toss,
Mid Wrsaths Of moss,
And seem 10 murmur secrets sweet
Not always does the sunshine bright
Shed glory Oer the old gay tower
Not always does this golden light
Lend beauty to the rugged shors'
Where sea-bird's screech
Along the beach,
Is mingled with the breakers roar.
For stormy waves their spray have dashed
High over house and rocky strand
When, like a beast of fury lashed,
The surf came trampling in to land
And finding not
The prey it sought,
Went raging up and down the sand.
vat evan mn the widest night
Serene has burned this lantern brave,
And seamen bless the welcome light,
Tha: guides them frOm watery grave
To cove and life,
To child aud wife, ...r-r
Who wait for them beyond tbs wave.
Thus doing all its duty we'll,
The Lighthouse stands beside the sea-
Aud borne upon the oceans swell
Its earnest lesson comes to mei
Ny heart, give ear,
It's messagr hear, .....
Learn what the Lighthouse says to thee.
90 SOUL who lookest from a height
That thou hast gained by tears and prayer,
Shed v ide abroad a helping light
To those who founder in despair, .
Aud warn mems souls
From of the shoals,
Where death lies hidden in his lair.
$50, serving God with labOrS blost'
Thy life shall pass in peace and love,
And when thy time Is come to rest,
The Muster shall thy work apPrO7ei
And burning bright,
Hopes beacon light
Shall beckon thee to Heaven above"

A SLIGHT MIsTAKK.--In,n noticing the
fine potatoes left with the committee ON
summer fruits by J. I'll. Heaton, Esq,
