WHIPPING HORSE.S.

Prof Wagner, in writing upon this
subject, says: Many think they are
doing finely, and are proud of their sue
cess in horse training, by means of severe
whipping, or otherwise arousing and slim
nlating the passions, and then, through
necessity, crushing the will through
which the resistance is prompted. No
mistake can be greater than this, and
there is nothing that 50 fully exhibits
the ability, judgment, and skill of the
real horseman, as the care displayed in
winning instead of repelling the action
of the mind. Although it may be neces-
sary to Use the whip sometimes, it should
always be applied judiciously, and great
passions or excite the will TO obstinacy
The legitimate and proper use of the
whip is calculated TO operate upon the
sense Of fear almost entirely. The affec-
pealed to in training horse, as well as
in training a child. A reproof given
may be intended for the good of the
child, but if only the passions are excited
the object is depraving and injurious.
This is vital principle, and can be dis
regarded in the management of sensitive
and courageous horses only at the risk of
spelling them. ! have known many
horses of a naturally gentle character to
be spoiled by whipping once, and one
horse that was made vicious by being
struck with whip once while standing
in his stall'

CRILDREN'S WINTER CLOTHING.

1t is favorite maxim with city moth
ers, that children are warmer-blooded,
and need less clothing, than adults. Es-
pecially is this held true of babies and
girls. Boys are warmly protected by
cloth leggings, kilt suits and stout shoes,
while their little sisters defy the winter
wind in bare knees and embroidered
skirts. There is poetic fancy, too, that
girls should be kept in white up to
certain age. A dozen little girls, of from
three to FIVE, were assembled the other
day, and the universal dress was an I'M
der vest and drawers of merino, single
embroidered flannel petticoat, and an in
cumbent airy mass of muslin, ribbon,
and lace. Meanwhile, their mothers,
women of culture and ordinary intelli-
gence, were wrapped i'll woolens, skins
and furs. In consequence of this under
dressing the children are housed, except
on warm days or when they are driven
out in carriages and therefore a chance
cold wind brings to these tender hot
and death. 1t is absolutely folly to try
to make child hardy by cruel exposure,
or to protect it from Group and pneu-
monia by string of amber beads, or by
it up in furnace-heated houses
Lay away its muslin frills until June;
put WOODEN stockings on its legs, flannel
mot half cotton woven vests) on its body,
and velvet, silk, whatever you
think you can afford-on top of that, tie
on snug little hood and turn the baby
out every winters day, unless the wind
be from the northeast and the air foggy,
and before spring its bright eyes and rosy
cheeks will give it a different beauty
from any pure robes of white.

.aled fountain of noble sympathies and
snial impulses. Let but the rock of
,lfshness be slightly smitten, and it
,nds forth streams of blessing in every
ERECTION. This virtue, so wildly illus
ated in the conduct of the Samaritan
essentially Christian virtue. Pagan
ism. could boast of no hospitals for the
manned and diseased-no asylums for
the aged and infirm. Deformity and dis
ease were reckoned marks of Divine dis
pleasure. The countrymen of Leonidas
cast helpless children to the wolves and
bears of Taygetus, and the compatriots
of Aristides exposed their offspring to
certain death on the island of Eubea,
Christianity has reformed this alto
gether, and has made the visitation of
the sick, the care of the helpless and the
supply of the needy more acceptable
to God than slaughtered hecatombs.
Not only can it point to Howard and
Wilberforce, and Fry and Dix and Pea
body, who have inaugurated grand enter
prises OF charity, but it has its thousands
of quiet workers in every department of
benevolent effort.
Nor is the end yet The leaven of
Divine truth is gradually permeating
the mass of humanity, and the time will
be when "wars shall cease to the end of
the earth" Then shall commerce bind
the nations together with cords of love !;
and then religion, too, shall shed it's Sc
lectest influences on every kindred, and
tongue and people.
We conceive of no better enforcement
OF the Savior's teachings than the sweet,
poetical legend of Leigh Hunt:
az Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase)
Awoke one night from deep dream of peace,
And saw within the moonlight in the room
Making it rich and like lily in bloom
An angel writing in a book of gold.
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold
And to the presence in the room he said,
What writest thou?' The vision raised its
head,
And with a look made all of sweet accord,
Answered, The names of those who love the
And is mine one% said Abou. NAY, not So
Replied the angel Abou spoke more low,
But cheerily still, and said, Il pray thee then
Write me as one. that loves his fellow-men.'
The angel wrote and vanished. The next
night
It came again with a great Weakening light,
And the names of those whom love of God
And 10, Ben Adhem's name led all the rest"

The late David Snow, the Boston mer-
chant, left an estate of a million dollars
He makes liberal provision for his family,
beaueathing 900 to each of his eleven
grandchildren. The rest is given to his
widow and children, with the exception
of about $4,000 left for charitable pur-
poses. His will is chiefly important to
the public at the present time on ac-
coun'. of the advice he gives his heirs
He directs them to "invest their means
in some way, and pursue some steady,
permanent, legitimate business or en-
ployment with great perseverance and
industry, and success is sure to crown
their efforts in due time. "This course
is not only an honorable one, but isalmost
always the most successful and satisfac-
tory in the long run, whereas dealing in
stocks and engaging in uncertain and
rash speculations l regard as species of
gambling at best and mere lottery, and
although sometimes pleasing and excit-
ing when the luck is good, still in the
main such course is generally very in
furious and dcmoralizing, and often ends
in ruin both pecuniarily and morally"
This advice is equally safe for all classes
besides the heirs of deceased millionaire
For want of attention to it the descen-
dants of the rich have been reduced to
poverty while the due Observance of it
has elevated the condition of the indus

HINSLOW.S FORESIGHT.

II has already been stated in the Globe
that Mr.. Winslow inquired of a lawyer
of this city, in regard to the countries
where extradition does not prevail The
details of the interview are grimly hui
morous in the light of recent events.
The Contemplating speculator began the
interview by saying that as 80 many
forgers had escaped justice by going to
Brazil and other countries where no ex-
tradition law is in effect. he wished to
get up an article for the Post, giving the
facts in the matter, the full text of the
laws, the names of the localities where
justice is not protected, the routes
thither, etc. Mr.. Winslow's legal friends
accordingly Overhauled the books, con-
suited all the authorities, looked into
the history of the famous Bailey case
in New York, and others well known
here, and furnished full details. Mr..
Winslow took copious notes, informed
himself of the routes and running time
of all lines Of steamers running to nom
S4tradition ports; and by the lawyers
help, obtained full statement of the
laws regulating arrests on the high seas
and the immunities of "those who 90
down to the sea in ships" etc. The dis
ciple of Blackstone had himself become
greatly interested in the case, and when
Mr.. Winslow offered to pay him for his
trouble, the lawyer said that the matter
was of public interest, and he couldn't
think of taken money for it. Mr.. Win
slow insisted on sending him a copy of
the Post free, and went away, assuring
his friends that the first of the eXtradi-
ton articles would appear very soon. 1t
is pretty evident from this that the last
of the forgers went away thoroughly
posted as to times, seasons and places
and it is exceedingly improbable that any
detective can be cunning enough to catch
so wary and calculating a schemer-
