Ace or HoRsEs, "A short timo ago
we met a gentleman from Illinois who
gave Us a piece Of information in
regard to ascertaining The age Of
horses after he or she has passed the
ninth year, which was new to vs., and
will be, we are sure, to mcst Of our
readers. It's this: After tho horse
Is nine years old, wrinkle comes
on the eyalid at the uppar corner
OF the lower lid, and every year there
after he hrs ono woll.defnod wrinkle
for each year over nine. II, for in
stance, horse has three wrinkles he
is twelve, il he has four ho is thirteen,
| Add TIE number ofwripl:los 70 nine
and you will getit. So says the gen
tleman, and he is sure il will never
fail. AS a good many people have
horses over nine il is easily tried. II
true, the horse dentist must give up
his trade.

A Touching STORY.

The Hon. A. H. Stephens Of Georgia, IL a
recent address at a meeting at Alexander for the
benefit OF an orphan asylum and free school Of
that city, related the following anecdote:
poor little boy, on a cold night, With no home or
roof to shelter his head, no paiernal, maternal,
guardian or guide to protect or direct him on
his way, reaching at nightfall the home Of a
wealthy planter, who took him in, fed and lodg
ed him. and sent him on his way with his bless.
ing. These kind attentions chsered his heart
and inspired him with fresh courage to battle
with the obstacles Of life. Years rolled; Prov-
dence led him on, and he reached the legal
profession. His host had died; the cormorants
that prey on the substance Of man had formed
a conspiracy TO get from the widow her estates.
She sent for the nearest counsel 10 commit her
cause to him, aud that counsel proved to be the
orphan boy long before WELDON. ed and entertain

warm, tenacious gratitude was now added TO the
ordinary motive connected with the profession.
He undertook her case with will not be resis-
ted he gained it the widows estate was ss-
cured to her in perpetuity, and,' Mr.. Stephens
added. with an emphasis Of emotion th At sent an
electric thrill throughout the house, " that bOy

WORTH KNoWING.-One pound of green
c0ppeFas, costing seven cents, dissolved in one
quart of water, and poured down water
closet, will effectnahy concentrate and de-
strOy the fOulest smells. On board ships and
steamboats,, about hotels aud other public
places, there Is nothing 90 nice to purify the
air. Simple green cOppe-as, dissolved under
the bed in anything that will hold water, will
render hospital, or other places TOR tue sick,
free from unpleasant smells. In fish markets,
slaughter houses, sinks, and wherever there
are offensive putrid gases, dissolve copperas
and sprinkle ieabout, and IN few days the
smells will pass away: If a cat, rat or mouse
dies about the house and sends forth an of
fensiye gas. place some dissolved eoppeFas in
an Open vessel near the place where the nui-
