How To BrY HoEsE.-From the a1-
vance sheet of Rev. w. Murray's new
book on The horse" we extract the
following:
"Be sure that the horse you purchase
has symmetry, viz: is well proportioned
throu ghout. Never purchase horse
because he has a splendid developement
of one part of his organization, if he
be lacking in any other. Above all,
keep well in mind what you are buying
for, and buy the horse best adapted to
the 1work you will require of him; and
when such an animal is yours be content.
Never jockey. An occasional exchange
may be allowable; but this daily swap
ping of horses advertiscs a mans in
competency for anything higher. Anoth-
er caution is this: Never purchase horse
until you have seen him move, and un-
der the same conditions to which be
will he exposed in the service you will
expect of him. If for draft, see him
| draw, back, and turn around in both d.
rectionS; if for the road see how he han
| dies himself not merely on level ground
but going up sharp declivities and, above
all, in descending them. In this way
YOU will us ertain the faults OF excel
lencc both in his temper and structure.
"In these exercises drive him your
self. The reins III skillt1l hand, aid
ed by the whip or mouth, can be made
to conceal grave defects. Let him move
with loose rein, SO that he may
take his natural gait, and not his artifi-
cial; for by so doing, you will detect any
mistakes of judgment yon may have
made when looking him over in state
of inactivity, Many a time unsound-
ness will appear in motion, which no in
spection of the eve and finger, however,
close can ascertain. When You have
walked him and logged him, il he is to
serve any other than mere draft purpos-
es but to his speed and keep him at it
for sufficient distance to test his
breathing capacity: then pull him up;
| Jump from the wagon, and look at his
Hanks; inspect his nostrils, and put your
ear close TO his chest, in order to ascer-
tain if the action of the heart is normal.
If this exercise has caused him to per-
spire freely, all the better; for you can
see when You take him back to the sta.
BILE, whether he dries off quickly, as all
horses do in perfect health" H.

The old trouble Of servants The
i'ouseholdcrs can only console them
selves by the thought that their troubles
are the measure of the prosperity Of the
Western working classes. Another ev.
idence Of advancing wealth and culture
is noticeable in the great change in the
style of dress OF Western women. There
was time wnen Western young ladies
while travelling. wore their most por-
geous array, and in country inn dis
played dazzling toilet. a tasteful and
appropriate style of dressing-exactly
snited for the thing to be done, and yet
pretty and pleasing-has succeeded the
former vulgaritv. The fashion Is Of
ten better than in some of our Eastern
resorts, where one is so often disgusted
by the shabby mixture Of the mountain
and parlor in the dress Of their visitors.
In theWestern rural inns OF mountain
houses there often seems no effort ex-
cept to have plain and pretty travelling
costume, worn with the unequal grace
OF our country women. 1t is not too
bold statement to assert that physical
type has also changed and improved
with the progress of asthestic culture
and the material refncments of life
Western women have developed a pc
culiar type Of beanty--the features are
clean-cut, 9qulline nose, small refined
mouth aud chin, delicate complexion,
clear calm eyes, forehead regular and
tull hair, most often brown and seldom
long or full. This seems the type which
under the condition mentioned, the
nt ..,l
stimulating climate is producing. The
manners OF the girls are sufficiently mod
Is and pleasing. Naturally Western
women are more cultured than the men.
The latter have had the heavy work of
life too much for any thorough mental
culture. The impression however, is
taking rapid hold of the Western mind
and quite enough has been sacrificed
to real prosperity, and that many things
are worth "A devoted pursuit which
bring III no money reward. Science is
encouraged, art cultivated, libraries,
public and private, are everywhere
founded; schools even in the border
States are aided with the utmost liberal
ltity and institutions of charity abound.
Many men and women devote them
serves To the interest which does not
pay" and whose results will appear in
distant years.
One little matter, it may be added, is
destined to have an important effect on
w Western social life 1t is almost impos-
sible to have an ideal "home'' around q
close stove. A house without q fire-side
is like landscape without water: the
life and sparkle are gone. Much of the
unhomely character of our Eastern
houses come from the want Of open fires.
And possibly half of our bronchitis and
nervous troubles find their origin in tue
air of the furnace. .... .--...
The West, however, is blest with bit
luminous coal, and open fires must be
more and more the custom. To the
Western child of the coming genera
tions, ''the fire side" will have its true
meaning again, and its cheerful light
will be one;bright picture in memory.
Social life itself will be stimulated by
the focus of warm hospitality and home
| like friendlineSs.

President White, of Cornell Univer-
sity, said recently in an address to the
students: "If there is any man whom
from the bottom of my heart, pity, it
is the man who believes that all man
kind are cheats and swindlers, and who
considers life merelya game of grasp
ing and gripping. If there is any young
man for whom | feel deep regret as for
a man sure to fail, sure to live and die
wretchedly, it is the young man whQ,
goes forth into the world believing that
the only motives in this world are selfish
motives. Depend upon il that selfish
ness is not the only motive in the world
may, it is not even the strongest
motive."b sAo3 ln9 F p3i'saA

TOUCHING EMIGRATION.

When the fact that the treaty be-
tween the Samana Bay Company and
President Baez was completed became
known to the general public in March
last, a host of people, of all sorts and
conditions, made application to have
lands allotted to them on the island
The applications, when they were at all
suitable, were placed ON file, and the ap
plicants informed that until the Conlpa-
ny had made a thorough survey of the
land purchased, it would be impossible
to give any accurate information aS to
the facilities that could he furnished en-
igrants. Within the past few months a
class that can scarcely be called emi-
grants, and that are certainly well fitted
to develop the resources of the country,
have made application for lands. Ow'
ing to the Cuban revolution and the
freeing of slaves in Porto Rico, mum
Der of planters, most of them wealthy
men, have been compelled to give W
the cultivation of sugar in that island
| These planters are most anxious to Sc
cure lands from the Company. a
wealthy Cuban gentleman, whose good
faith is guaranteed by one of the largest
sugar-houses in New York, has made
application to the Company for large
tract of land. This gentleman pledges
himself to bring Immediately 1000 mer
familiar with the raising of sugar to the
Vega Rial. From the great number OF
applicants the Company expect by a lu
dicious selection to secure men with suf
ticicnt money to purchase all the neces
sary implements for sugar raising, an'
sufficient to produce good crops from TIN
first. A good many artizans, carpenters
builders, &c, have made application t
the Company for transportation TO TIL

At present there is demand for car
