It is a generally accepted fact that the
breeding of what are termed fancy hot,
sea, cannot be successfully dune by the
ordinary breeder. With rare exceptions,
breeding f',r speed is SO uncertain, even
when those engaged in the business are
possessed of the very choicest animals
adapted to that purpose, that it is only
those that have a fortune, and aro able
to pursue the object as s 'natter of plea-
sure, that can successfully pursue the
business for any great length of time.
The mania that for years has ix.saessed
our people for breeding fast horses is
rapidly leaving thein, and they are be-
ginning to realize that if they are to
make any any money in breeding horses
of any kind, it must be in producing ani-
mals that will'! the heed a specific value
in themselves, nheilier trained or un-
trained. It is net :ressaryto enlighten
the people as tothe class of horses that
sell the most readily at the ;oroaeut time.
Every one knows that good -formed,
large-sized, %itorous, hardy draft hones
.tre in active demand, and that the buy-
ers are searching the c'nintry in every
portion where these horses can be found
in any considerable numbers, and paying
large prices, 8200 to $230, for animals
1 that weight front 1300 to 11;00 1eunds.
Hew t.. produce this class of horses is
something that interests every fanner
throughout the ceuatry. A few Years
since, when there were no pure bred,
large sized stallions to be found here, it
was a practical impossibility to du so
with any degree of certainty from our
ordinary sized mares, but latterly, the
importation of heavier classes of stallions
from foreign countries, and especially
the admirable Pcrcherons, that are be-
ing imported from LaPerche, France,
has made the hitherty unattainhle ob-
ject easy of accomplishment.
Nearly all classes of large horses have
been tried, the English draft,the Clydes-
dales, the Belgians. the Boudonnais, a
costlier specimen of the French horses,
soneetimes in this country improperly
called Normans; but none havisee.ned
' to "nick" s., well- with our ordinary
stock as the smooth-b.uilt, clean -limbed,
powerful -muscled, vigorous and active
Percheron horse of France. Since 1872
2
several hundred of these stallions have
been imported and gold to nearly every
State in the Union, and wherever found
they are held in the highest estimation.
Quito a number of both imported and
grade stallions have crossed the moun-
tains and are doing the country valuable
service. This is very ftattenng to the
clear-sightedness and perseverance of
our breeders, and we cannot too strongly
urge the continuance .d such a worthy
enterprise, as every one these animals
that are brought to our State will add
greatly to its future wealth. -American

Prayer is it. d' God'. reluct-

To man of a delicate and sensitive
mind, uothiue u so truly revolting as
the disoovbry of an offensive habit in the
woman he reapseta.
The worst stand has in it some truth
from which we ins earn lesson which
may make us wiser when the first smart

There is no gr.,aber pride than in seek=
ing to humiliate ourselves beyond meu-
sure, and sometimes there is no truer
humility than to attempt great works
for God, -(St. Cyran.
The best people need afflictions for
trial of their virtue. How can • we exer-
cise the grace of contentment, if all
things succeed well; or that of forgive-
ness, if we have no enemies 1
Let us never forget that every station
in life is necessary; that each deserves
aur respect; that not the station itself,
but the worthy tiultihuent of its duties,
does hoaor to a utast.
Though sometimes small evils, like in-
ruible insects, inflict pains, and a siugle
hair may stop a vast machine, yet the
chief secret .of comfort lies in nut suffer-
ing trifles to vex nue, and in prudently
cultiy' sting an undergrowth of small
pleasuras, since very fewgreat unee,alas!
are let 00 lung leases.
Never teach false morality. How ex-
quisitely absurd to tell girla that beauty
is of no value -dress of no use ! Beau-
ty is of value: A girl's whole prospects
and happiness in life may.often depend
upon a new gown or a becoming bonnet;
and, if she has five grains of eolnnIon
sense, she will End this out. The great
thing is to teach her the just value of
drew, and that, for real happiness, there
must ba something better under the boa -
net than a pretty face. But never sa-
crifice the truth.
Let us advise you to avoid all boast-
ing- and exaggerations; backhitings,
abuse, and exil -;peaking; slang phrases
and oaths in conversation; depreciate no
man's gaulities, and accept hospitalities
of the humblest kind in a hearty and ap-
preciative manner; avei.l giviug;offunce,
and if you do elfend, have tho manli-
ness to apologize; infuse as much•ele-
gence as p ostl,ble into your thoughts as
well es into your actions; and, as you
avoid vulgarities, you will increase the
enjoyment of life and grow iii the re-

Sackville -street, Dublin, is a handsome
street, being one of the widest in the

O'Connell, which has just been com-

A sleet while since a Montreal firm
ordered seine two thousand demijohns
of vinegar from an eatabli,hnteut in Bre-
mer. The demijohns, labelled vinegar,
were uccerdit.gly shipped from that port.
Arrived at New York the vinegair was
shipped to Montreal, where the startling
discovery was made that the supposed
vinegar was not vineger at all, but•spirits
of wine. On the discovery being mule
Mr. William O'Hara, pro -Collector ief
the port of. Montreal, ordered the 'foods
to be seized and an investigation was
commenced. The value of the seised
liquid is seine ten thousand dollars. A
seizure is also reported of atone a2b,000
worth of tine furs imported by a Montre
al firm from Novgorod, in the heart of
Russia, has also been made. It appears
that they wot•q entered on the free Wt se
undressed furs, but on the a'ssesenrs ex-
amining them they declared that they
were partially dressed, and liable to a
15 per cent. duty. The representatives
of the firm deny the assertion of the cus-
tom's officers.
When a Methodist Church at Racine, .
Wisconsin, recently asked for $300 for a'

poor this winter, and buy meta..rial wood

There is a large grain of common sense
in this saying, and the sadly overbooked

the. sentiment.

O'Connell's efforts to bring about the re-
peal
e
pj�easl of the union, endeared him to the
hearts of the Irish people, and to. them
no monumental marble is ueceisary to
keep his memory green. He was the
'idol of his countrymen, and one of the
.greatest of modern speakers. He had
no wide political intelligence, and on all
subjects his mind was cramped by Catho-
lic teachings; but he was full of imagin-
ation and humor, and possessed an in-
tensity of passionate statement which
won its greatest triumphs with the Irish
masves, yet made a deep impression i.n
the English House of Commons- . He
condemned every effort to redress politi-
cal wrongs by physical force and broke
his heart in trying to set hie country
free.
