KNDNESS TO ANIMALS.

There is always a way to overcome
fear in our domestic animals n that
&c Nv kindness. Kindness from the
Soy IF their birth, and continued as
long as they live. This gives to ali
~ them that kindly disposition when
makes them accommodating, quiet
and teachable, and safe. 1t makes
then, loving and loyal. 1t adds to
their length Of life. A horse or a
fretful disposition is old at ten, Whiie
one hat has a quiet disposition may
still be young at twenty. 1t IS strange
that men do not learn this. How
often does a young man just start
ing in life. buy a good team or young
horses, and in order to make them
appear to have much spirit and life,
checks them up high, cracks his whip
over them, and sometimes strikes
them, drives them fast With a heaVy
wagon. and sometimes with d load,
ana in a very few years, they are q

never frets them, and never has re-
CURED of them anything they were
not able and willing to do. They

their lives happy.

far more than the usual class Of hands
we have to hire in the South, and

in the South, and he needs the train
superior to the ignorant laborers we
have to employ, who have no such
training. for at the Institute they are
kept under the strictest military dis
clplIne, and II they do not toe the
mark, they do not stay there long.
And ! believe it is we'll that they
have Northern men in control, for we
Southerners would humor them far
more than the Northern men do, who
exact the best of work and the strict
est discipline just as an army officer
would.
The late Genera Armstrong. the
n Of the school, understood the
negro better than any Northern man
l ever met, and he started out with
the conviction that work under strict
discipline was wha the negro needed
to make him valuable. He gave the
discipline and training that they form

q little book learning added. putting
into the negro some of the Northern
