ADJUSTING THE HARNESS TO FIT THE
HORSE.-Every part of a harness should
he buckled up shorter or let out until
the harness fits the horse as neatly az a
pair of boots that are OF the proper size
for ones feet. The collar should tit
closely, with space enouglrattI the bottonI
to admit a mans hand. If two large,
it has the bad effect of drawing the
shoulders together. On no considera-
ton should a team or any work horse be
compelled to YEA u martingale, as it
draws the head down and prevents him
from getting into any easy and natural
position. The cheek-rein may be used,
but only tight enough to keep the head
in a natural position, and should never
he wound around the names. See that
the names are buckled tight enough at
the top to bring the draft irons at the
proper point on the side of the collar. If
too low, it not. only interferes with the
action of the shoulders, but gives the
collar an uneven bearing. Caution
should be taken that the girth snot buck
led too tight, particularly on strong
teams, for when the tracesare straighten-
ed it has the tendency to draw the girth
against the belly and distress the horse.
A teamster should be educated to har-
ness a horse correctly, as this la some
thing that cannot he taught by writ
ing,

Gufzot's Confession of Faitr,.

No n will be surprised to learn that
NJ. Gulzot, when drawing up his last
instructions to his family, wished to pre-
face them by a declaration of his Chris
ran thus:
81 die in the bosom of the Reformed
Christian church of France, in which I
was born and in which / congratulate
myself on having been born. In re-
naming always connected with her |
exercisedthe liberty of conscience which
she allows her members in their rela-
tons with God, and which she herself
invoked in establishing herself. ex-
amined, | dou&ted, | believed that the
strength Of tie human mind was suffi-
Gent to solve the problem presented
by the universe and man, and that the
strength of the human will was sufficient
70 regulate mans life according 10 its
law and to its moral end. After having
long lived, acted and reflected, ! re-
manned and still remain convinced that
the universe and man are neither Of
them sufficient to explain and regulate
0f fixed laws which preside over them
and OF the human wills which are
brought into play. 1t is my profound
belief that God, who created the uni
verse and man, governs and preserves
or modified them, whether by those gen
clal laws which we call natural laws,
whether by special acts which we call
supernatural, emanating, like the gen
eral laws, from His perfect and free wis
dom and from His infinite power, which
He has enabled lie to recognize in their
effects and fOrhids us from being ac-
qualnted with in their essence and de-
sign. | ~thus.Teturned to the conviction
in which ] was cradlcd, alN ays firmly
attached to the person and liberty which
| have received from God, and which
are my honor as well as my right on
the earth, hut again feeling myself a
child in Gods hands, and sincerely re-
signed to SO large II share of ignorance
and weakness. | believe in God ana
adore Him, without attempting to com
prphend Him. | see him present and
acting not only in the permanent gov
eminent of the universe and in the in
nermOst life of mems souls, but in the
history of human societies, especially
in the old and new MISUNDERSTANDING
mentS Of the divine revelation and nc
tiOn by the mediation and sacrifice OF
our Lord Jesus Christ, for the %Salvati0n
of the human race. | bow before the
mysteries of the bible and the gospel,
and | hold aiOOf from scientific discus
sion and solutions, Ivy which men have
attempted to explain them. trust that
God permits me to call myself a Chris
iian, and | am convinced that in the

origin and vanity of most of our dissen-%

The Charleston News and Courier
claims for SOuth Carolina the honor OF
having framed the platform on which
the victorious Democrats and COnserva-
tives, throughout the Union, now stand.
We enter up a similar claim for louisa
ma. In both 1870 and 1879 the plan of
consolidating all the Conservative ele-
ments in this State was brOachPd. In
1872 it took the name Of the Fusion
movement and was sO far successful
that but for Judge DureIl's so-called
midnight order" most of it's candidates
would have secured their seats. The
programme for 1874 was started on an
exclusive color line; that, however, was
o found to he impracticable and the
wiser policy of transportation and concilia-
ton was adopted. This brought i'm
enough of colored voters to secure the
victory for the Conservatives, and on
that victory the hopes Of the Common
wealthsFe now based. We conted there
fore that Louisiana framed the platform
on which sensible people of both races
now stand.-[N. O. Times.
