take the drivers number when YOU
see that. The camel and lama, when
too much is put on their back, refuse
to rise, end something has to be taken
off as the only way to get them up;
but the horse will, how pathetieally,
struggle, though be strive and strain
in vain. When he stumbles, says an
expert, do not whip, but encourage,
if you would cure him. Your blows
intimidate, and make him more apt
to trip. Gentleness to subdue the
vicious was the precept and example
of that prince of tanners, Mr.. Rarey,
whose death the horses should have
deplored if they knew how. To him,
the most stubborn steed, the English
"Cruiser" knelt. How touching the
response to kind treatment and caress-
ingI The horse turns his head, looks
us full in the face, licks our hand,
neighs after US, follows us with his
eye, stops eating to gaze till we are out
Of sight. "You will make all the hor-
ses kittens, fondling and feeding
them," said one. Let US cultivate
their affections and all good affections
So sanetified to us may this and all
withdrawal be. We know not our
best friends till they go. We knew
not the angel that sojourned with US
IN the guise of woman or mar, whom
we could speak roughly to, but would
give the world now to speak to at all.
"Why weep?n said a husband to his
wife, by the sick bed of their child
Because we chided her so lately"
OUR DUTY.
So take my sermon to-day, not from
any prophets or apostles, but Gods
text. In the model school of the great
German Goethe reverence OF respect
of three kinds was taught.-for that
/ d6OUe us, for that around US, and for
/ that benenedth US. Few so hardy, so
ossified in natural sensibility, ,buthave
some sort of regard, love, fear, wor-
/ ship, for that above. In civilized so
ciety, without some honor to these
around us, in household, religious,
political relations, we should not be
/ tolerated or endurable. Reverence
/ for what ia under US, for weakness
and poverty, pain and grief, for op-
| pressed interior fellow creatures. Is
the rare quality that makes a man OF
woman. The. horse had by his own
er's selfish interest to be considered in
/ his sickness. AS soon as he begins to
recover, he is whipped again. oh
we can. admire some Alexander's g,
"Bueephalus" or WellingtOn's "Char-
ger;;" but how about the old hack
worn out in our service? do not
think we should hold even animals
exactly as slaves, or find in their tor
ment our sport Not far from Bos'
ton, the day before Thanksgiving, 8
live turkey was strung up to a beam
to be shot at for prize, screaming
with anguish as by the bullets one
part after another of its body was torn
away; and the men, no brutes could
be so low, screaming with laughter al
every capital hit. There are laws
against killing birds out of season, lest
our savory food be diminished. Fail
ing any statute, lynch law, stopping
short of blood injury, were too good
for whoever infiiets wanton distress.

THE PRAYER QUESTION INANEW
FORM.

The prayer question has come up
again in England in a curious though
not altogether new aspect. Our read
ers know that the island has been the
/ object of what appeared to superficial
/ wisdom a most unnecessary washing
| by rain. For more than one hundred
/ days it has rained every day +; the
fields were flooded and sOdden, wheat
could not be got in, and all agrieul-
/ tural operations were delayed The
rain was, beside great Inconvenience,
even to the BritOns, who are aceus .
toned to live half the time under wa
\ ter, like the seals, and who are popu-
larly supposed to be born with silk
umbrella in their hands. In eOnsid-
Grafton of this inordinately wet time,
the Archbishop Of Canterbury, the
day before Christmas, addressed a note
to the ArchdeacOns OF Canterbury and
Maidstone, expressing his surprise to
hear that the clergy generally had not
used the prayer for fine weather pre-
seribed in case of excessive rain. And
he trusts that if there is continuance
of the unusually wet weather, the
clergy will use this prayer when the
circumstances of the district seem to
require it.
Upon this, Mr.. ]. Bailey Denton
writes to the Pail Mall Gazette, apol-
ogiZiDg for his presumption as lay
man, and saying that his observation
of nature in relation to Tainfalls leads
him to the conclusion that we should
be guilty of great ingratitude by pray
ing now for any deviation from the
present order of things; for he ex-
plains that the present excess Of rain
is lust what was wanted to restore the
balance Of the water supply, which
the droughts Of recent years have
greatly disturbed. And he thus con-
tinues:
"Up to the present moment, in
spite Of all the rain we have had, the
deep wells dependent on the water
bearing strata for their supply show
little Indication of rising,toward their
usual level at this time of the year.
But after the continued downfall of
the last three months, there is a great
probability that the equilibrium Will
be regained, for as the days lengthen
so the springs strengthen, and by
May or June the deficiency may exist
10 longer. Permit me to point out to
the clergy IOr L0elI cODhlucEdtAOA III |
regard to the present subject, that the |
general health of the country was
never better, if so satisfactory, as at !
this moment, and that while we are
all disposed to think that this is due
to the cleansing effects OF. heavy rain
falls in washing out the dirty places
of our closely populated towns and
villages, it is not at all impossible that
the same benefit will follow the thor
ough washing of land, which will
clear localities of endemic diseases
among cattle and sheep."r /
There is nothing in this of the half
sneer of the prayer-gauge test. Rather
the clergy ought to be grateful to Mr..
Denton for reminding the people that /
they are in the hands Of an all-wise
which works ON a vast /
scale, and not infrequently brings
under the cover of appar-
ent damage and discomfort. The
Bishop OF Canterbury has evidently
other and various views of the gov
ernment of the universe.-HdrGoTd

THE NARRAGANSETT TURKEY.

This is one of the largest and hardi-
est of all the breeds Of turkeys 1t is
raised in the greatest perfection in
southeastern Connecticut and Rhode
Island, region famous for its fine
poultry. Turkeys do remarkably well
along the sea board, and almost every
farmer remote from the villages has
his flock. 1t is not uncommon to f1nd
fiOcks Of from one TO two hundred
birds, the product of about q dozen
hens, under the skillful management
of a poultry woman or boy. OF course,
they do some damage to grain but
this evil is eounterbalaneed by the
enormous destruction Of insects Sc
cured. From June to september they
subsist mainly upon grasshoppers,
erickets, and other insects, ranging
for the most part in the pastures and
woodlands. They are fattened in Oct
Ober and November, and it is not IN
common for a lot of early chicks to
reach the average weight of fourteen
pounds, dressed, at Thanksgiving or
Christmas. The common run Of tur-
keys sent to the New York market do
not average more than eight or nine
rounds. The Narra9ansett is q very
large, healthy bird, and has been bred
for size for many generotions. Most
of the birds sold in the Boston and
Providence markets under the name
of Rhode Island Turkeys, or Extra
No. l, are Of this breed. The farmers
are careful in the selection Of their
breeding stock, taking young gobblers
that viii weigh from twenty two to
twenty eight pounds, and hens that
will weigh from twelve to sixteen.
Where the birds are kept over, COB
blers will sometimes dress thirty-tWo
to thirty-four pounds. For making
poultry for market, the Narragansetts
have no superior. The prevailing
colors are white aud black, with a
large patch of white upon the wing
bow, giving the general impression of
q gray bird. They are not uniform in
heshadiDg, but, with sufficient pains
taking, could be bred to feather

Russia generally subsists for the most
part, on coarse black rye bread and

whole grains, and is very hard and
dry. They would come on board in

They were astonishingly powerful

old men would do more work than
any Of the middle aged men belong

ing away iron, and in slowing away
hemp with the 1ack-serew, they exhi-
hited most astonishing power. They

A novel description of fox hunting
is described by the Auburn NelcS,
said to have taken place recently on
the Cayuga Lake Railroad, and one
which the Squire Westerns of the last
century would hardly haFe approved.
/ A fox sprang on to the track in front
of the locomotive at q point where it
was impossible for him to leave the
track and escape, except by climbing
high wall Of rock, or tumhling into
the lake, The engineer, seeing the
situation, pulled out the throttle and
gave chase. The locomotive took ad-
vantage of the smooth rails and soon
made considerable advance on the fox.
An occasional sereeeh from the whis-
tie would renew the courage Of the
fox, and cause him to gather bimself
uD quicker after tumble. he would
jump off and make few leaps on the
road bed, thereby putting more dis
tanee between himself and his ferO-
cious pursUer, then be would spring
between the bars again and lose his
ground. The locomotive continued
to gain on him. Finally, becoming
disgusted with the rough way between
the rails, the fugitive spFang on one
of the rails and made of at q wonder
fel speed, not tottering or missing a
step for over ten rods. At this move
ment, the engineer, who had become
wrought up to high state Of excite
ment, opened his throttle wider, de-
termined to overhaul that fox or tear
every tire OFF from his drivers. Soon
the feet animal left the rail again,
and went stumbling Ovar the ties fot.
some distance, when he jumped clear
of the road on the lake side. At this
the engineer let 60 succession of out
rageons screams from the whistle,
which heightened the painting fox ouI
OF his wits, fOr he jumped back Oh the
track just in time to be struck by the
eoweateher, and crushed beneath the
mereilsss wheels.

Hon. ERAsTUs BRooKs:
Dear SRI have been trying since
the receipt of your note of the 23d ult.
to find spare hour to devote to its
answer. Hardly time enough has yet
elapsed to fern conclusive opinions
as to the practical workings Of all
parts of our new Constituti9n,J J but
those who have given the subject the
most attention regard 1t as an infinite
| Improvement ON the old one.
The new organic law has demon
strated its superiority over the former
Constitution by its restraining infu-
ence on the action of the Legislature
/ in the framing of laws. That body
| devoted more care and consideration
last session in the framing of bills
than the preceding ten General As
semblies together. And it was the
only Legislature in twenty years that
adjourned without the taint of cOrrup-
ton, jobbery, blackmail or bribery on
its skirts. 1t passed more well con-
sidered and useful laYs-repealing at
| the same time defective oneS-than its
predecessors in a dozen years. 1t
passed no laws under the influence of
lobby appliances, and no laws which
had Venal motives attributed to the
members for their enactment. Its
errors were errors of Judgment, and
not of baseness or bribery. l. was the
first Legislature since my residence in
the State that was not run by the
lobby, though it acted on many sub
jects that deeply affected personal in
terests.
You may ask to what chiefly at
tribute this remarkable reform in leg
islation. answer, not solely to any
one provision of our new Constitution,
but to the influence of several in par
ticular, and the whole instrument in
general. 1 would especially enumer-
ate half a dozen features that have
worked admirably in preventing cor
rupt, hasty, and ill-considered legis-
latiOn, and in protecting the people
from many evil and injurious prae-
! tices:
