Treatment Of Salky Ee.ses.

The bad habit of baking of horses
generally arises from an obstinate mind
or, in other words. selfiihness, refusing
to 60 from headstrong disposition, and
resoute TO their own way. This is one
form Of balkiness (of which there are
three.) The second is one which refus-
es TO pull from pure laziEess. or stops
when tired, and refuses to 90 any fur
Their. The third embraces such horses
as are timorous, combined with stub
born disposition, and which frequently
refuse to pull from fear as well as stub
bornness or want of courage.

The MangOsteen.

Imust not omit the tree which bears
the famous fruit of the East known as
the mangosteen. 1t is not tall nor is it
particularly handsome. 1t is only some
twenty feet in height and has spreading
branches instead of the single tufts that
adorn the trees that l have Just de-
scribed. But the fruit is the prince of
the tree fruits of the wOrld-the apple,
the peach, the orange. the pomegranate,
none cfthem cCn compare with it, and
even if you Combine all these fruits you
are only beginning to approach it. Ex-
ternally 1t has the appearance of a small
apple that has been partially baked or
has become very brown in the sun. On
cutting it you find an external husk
harder than the rind of an orange and
three times as thick. When you have
penetrated this husk you find mass of
snow-white pulp, and you need no in
structOr to tell you that this is the ed
ible portion of the mangosteen. 1t melts
in your mouth like an OVer-ripe peach
or like snow on the surface of river.
Its flavor is a combination of sweetness
and slight acidity, which you can no
more describe than you can tell how a
violet smells or a canary sings. think
1 have tasted nearly every fruit that
grows on the globe, and unhesitatingly
i award the prize of excellence to the
mangosteen. At this distance of time
and place my lips moisten when think
of the mangosteens that solaced the heat
of Java and made the life of the island
more agreeable than il would otherwise
have been. If this fruit grew in the
Garden of Eden, can well understand
why Adam and Eve wept at their ex-
pulsion; perhaps it was the mangosteen
which the serpent offered for the tempt
alton of our first mother, if so, it is easy
to understand why she fell from grace.

Words of COurnge,

A great deal of talent is lost to the
world for the want of courage. Every
day sends to the grave number of OBJ
scure men, who have only remained in
obscurity because their timidity has
prevented their first effort, and who, if
they could have been induced to begin,
would, in all probability, have gone
great lengths in the career of fame. The
fact is, in order to do anything in this
world that is worth doing we must not
stand shivering on the brink, and think
of the cold and danger, but jump in and
scramble as we can. It will not do to
be perpetually calculating risks and ad-
iusting nice chances. 1t did very well
before the flood, when a man could con-
suit his, friends upon a publication for
one hundred and fifty years and then live
to see it's success for six or seven centu-
ries afterwards, but at present a man
waits, and doubts, and hesitates, and
consults his brother and his uncle, and
particular friends, till one day he finds
that he is sixty years of age; that he
has lost so much time in consulting first
cousins and particular friends that he
bas no time left to follow their advice,
There is no such thing for over-squeam-
ishness at present, the opportunity so
easily slips away, the very period of
his life at which man chooses to venture,
ifevGr, is so confined, that it is no bad
rule to preach up the necessity, in such
instances, OF a little violence to feelings,
and to efforts made in defiance to strict
and sober calculation-Syd1ey Snstth.

Educating Horses.

Horses can be educated to the extent
of their understanding, as well as chill
dren can be easily damaged or ruined
by bay management. 1t is believed that
the great liability comes more from the
different management of men than from
variance of natural disposition in the
animals. Horses with mettle are more
easily educated than those of less or dull
spirits, and are more susceptible of ill
training, and consequently may be as
good or bad, according TO the education
they rereive. Horses with dull spirits
are not by any means proof against bad
management, for in any of them may
often be found the most provoking OBJ
stinacy, vicious habits of different char
acters that render them almost worth
less. Gould the coming generation of
horses in this country be Kept from the
days of cOlthood TO the age of five years
in the hands of good, careful managers,
there would he seen a vast difference in
the general character of the noble ami
mails.
If a colt is never allowed to get an
advantage it will never know that it
possesses a power that man cannot con-
troll, ana if it be made familiar with
strange objects it will not be skittish
and nervous. If horse is made accus-
toned from his early days to have OBJ
jects hit on his heels, back and hips, he
will pay no attention to the giving out OF
harness or of n wagon running against
him at an unexpected moment. A gun
can be fired from the back of horse, an
umbrella held over his head, a buffalo
robe thrown over his neck, railroad
engine pass close by, his heels bumped
with sticks, and the animal take it all as
the natural condition of things, if only
taught by careful management that he
will not be injured thereby. There is a
great need OF improvement in the man
agement of this noble animal, less beat
ing and more educating.

How the sparrow was introduced.

One Of the most interesting papers in
HdTper'S relates to a little bird that has
been the subjection of praise and of de-
nunciation also. There is much dispute
rs to the merits or the shortcomings of
the sparrow, and we are not certain the
American people will gratefully remem-
ber the person who first introduced the
foreigner to our country. This attempt
was made we are told by a gentleman
named Desblois, in Portland, Maine,
during the autumn of 1858; he brought
over few birds from the continent, and
liberated them in large garden which
was situated within the central part of
the city. They remained there shelter
ed and secure under the caves of "A neigh
boring church throughout the winter,
and in the following spring settled
down happily enough to the labor of
nest-building and rearing their young.
Two years later the first pair of these
tinches were set at liberty near Madison
Square, New York city; the importa-
tion was steadily repeated, the birds
being released in the Central Park and
at Jersey City. They were first intro
duced to Boston IN 1868 by the city gov
ernment, and to Philadelphia by the
municipal authorities in 1869, and from
small beginnings the house-sparrow has
