Alexander's Stock Farm.

! Nine miles from Frankfort, on the
road TO Lexington, stands one Of the
finest and richest farms in Kentucky
that owned by Mr.. Alexander. On this
superb stock-farm we saw three hun
dred blooded horses, ranging in rank
from old Lexington, tho monarch Of tho
turf to the kittenish aud frisky yearlin2,
Here, also Mr.. Alexander has collected
| 100000 worth of cattle, comprising
some Of the finest stock in the world,
and peeping into the inclosnre where
the costly cattle were kept, we saw one
diminmivc heiger worth 2T0Q0. and q
variety OF foreign creatures, whose val.
ue seemed almost fabulous. On this
Farm are bred the great majority of fuc
troiting aud running horses which APP

son. Mr.. Alexander's estate, which is
admirably stocked with fine farm
houses, barns aud stables, aud which is
more like ducal manor than the ord.
nary American farm, extends over 81
200 acres. Near by is old John Iar-
pcr's modest farm Of 1000 acres. The
roads, the stone walls, and the fine
lawns covered with massive shade trees,
make series OF delightful picturcs.---
The annual sale Of hoises on the Alex

Our ryoung women acquire asmatter-

and then shine in society as very wise

der commentary on the education Of
our women than this: that music and
painting, to which they apply most OF
their time and patience at school, are
quietly laid aside as useless when they
are once married. No wonder so many
people are unhappy in their marriage

We earnestly insist on fewer books
and more teachers who have brains Of

cidating their subjects. They must use
more chalk and do more talking, and
learn the lesson that boys and girls are
expected to go to work when they be-
