X POST OR Moral Sense in: Horses.. looked ill P� a a na h n cid �r •i ei if or ud hour sh temper never ne ti and va more and to .A thio be tl rah e ie s th Ilii, Ladies el h,i -el' is m is ch i re bands, Rev. John Brown, of Haddington, though, like all who attempt to practise what they preach, charitable : towards others, was naturally enough desirous of checking in the. bud anyi semblance_„ of wrong -doing in bis own ,fainily. This being the case, he was considerably an- noyed. at: one time by the spiriting away of his apples from a tree standing in the middle of the garden. His son, Eben- ezer, was at that time a boy at home, and he, along with the rest of the family, was called before the minister,' who ex- plained that he had had the ground dug up around the ,tree, and that he was de- termined to discover the culprit. The next day footprints were plainly visible on the soft earth, and the minister again called his family together, to' measure their shoes ; blit agree with any of all fairly puzzled, out, " Try iyer ain shun, faither." They fitted dkactly, but we suppose the rogue who had worn his father's shoes was found Out, and got a gentle rep- rimand. In selecting a horse or mare for breed- ing, speed andform are not all the quali- ties to be to ed aftt:r. Never breed to a vicious or ill-tempered -tempered. horse, no mat- ter what maybe his pedigree or antece- dents ; and reject at once any horse Woking a sprightly intelligeuco. There are as many degrees of intelligence in a horse as in -the human race, arid without intelligence horse is always sluggish, stupid and awkward in his movements. The thorn hbred Arabian horst has generally that capaoity necessary for learning anyuseful lesson, that all his work and labor for pian are a pleasure to the owner and apparently to the ,horse. We like to see a man proud of a noble horse, but more especially does it till our eart with Blight to see a horse proud of his mast There are clowns among horses, anal they are always a vexation to the owner. Some will plod along the road, never looking were they step, ancl- just as likelyto step on a stump or in a hole in a bridge as any -other place. - But the intelligent horse takes heed to his steps, andanything happens danger- ous to life limb to himself :or his Inas- ter,.' his judgment frequently prevents the accident.And a, gentle, kind horse with. a largedevelopment of social and intellectualpowers,- whiles away many a weary h , r of the lonely traveler, or lightens thelabor of the long days of the . tiller of thesoil. In selecting breeders, great care: onlcl be taken relative to the morals of both horse and mare,. social Like .begetslike, and m no case more than that of the horse.+ A bad and vicious ten er in a horse may be check- ed, but nes r eradicated, and he will al- ways be unpleasant, dangerous, and in, hie fretting and fuming will unnecessarily waste his strength. Form and action have claimed the closest scrutiny, and those qualities have been given their full importance but the -social morals of the horse have been lost sight of in the strife for speed a t strength. Viciousness is almost invariably transmitted to the progeny, re certainly than color or points, an should be a serious objection to any horseas a good. breeder. —Iowa State Register. so - All -ands` on Board, The Scientific American. asks :Why should not a child he taught to write and draw with both hands , the very natural echo - is, " %\Thy?" The human body can educated to do almost auy- thing. Menhave . written with their toes, and done all sorts of wonderful things with their teeth ; and yet since the creationof• man that intelligent ani- mal seems to have regarded the left hand as a sort of tender' to the right. In fact, the.left hand is.the laziest mem- ber of .the human body. When the right hand is sc • bling away for bare life, the left looks on placidly, keeps down the paper withits fingers ,and .shows its rims. In truth, the billy things in which it seems to excel, except when oc- casionally helping its_ big brother in an indifferent ort of way, consists in Wit- ting from he shoulder in a prize fight, and in using a fork to advantage. The left hand isalways too pretty to dos any work. La es show off its lines of beau- ty while delicately -resting their lovely chins upon its fingers. Let. a poor fel- low have s- right hand shot away, and then just seewhat the lett head can do ! In ":r wonderful short space of time it can button a coat, write a letter and do' things which, in his palmy days, he. never dreamed of. By all means educate the left hand, and if it mill not work make it. There is nothing in the world to hinder a man from writing two letters at once, likeRistori in " Queen Eliza- beth," and keeping up an animated cos- versation with his unruly member at the same time. The left hand was given to man to do its Flare in the business of life just as mu as its twin brother in boots. At present t is a kind of loafer, doing the gentlep ssure business: in love affairs, Wered n and havingall the fun. are ow on left ba s, and strongly recommend that they bepat to school. - •ar Treadingin his Father's Shoes. the length Would not them, and they were lntil Ebenezer called TEN Potti'rs OE A GOOD WIFE.—Rob- ert Burns, the Scottish poet, speaking of the qualities of a good wife, divided them into ten parts. Four parts he gave to " good temper ;" two to "good sense ;" one to " wit :" one to " beau- ty," (such as asweet face, eloquent eyes, a fine person, a graceful carriage ;) anti the remaining two parts he divided among other qualities belonging to or at- tending on a wife, such as fortune, con- ne:tiois, education or accomplishments, family, and so on, but, he saith, "divide those two parts as you please, remember that -all these rnuior proportions must be expressed by fractions, for there is not any one of thein. that is entitled to the dignity of an integer." Mr. Smiles, in quoting this passage from Burns, in his chapter on marriage in his pleasant and Chatty book on " Character, says:: "No ise person will marry for beauty main- ; V. It It will exercise a powerful attrac-; tion in the first place, but it is found to be of comparatively little consequence afterwards." . A GENIUS. —Referring to Benjamin ° Atnmings, late of Burtouville, N. Y., the inventor and maker of the first cir- cular saw,, an exchange says : In his low- ly grave are the ashes of a man Who, nearly seventy _ years ago, - at Albany, N. Y., took up and moved bodily large block: of brick buildings, and, to. the wonder and astonishment of the world, constructed a mile and a half of the Erie Canal tbrolgh -a bed of rock, and who also built, per contract, those first low bridges over .the same. He also aided in the constructiolf of the first ten miles of 'railroad . built In the. United States, and founded . both the villages of sperance and Burtonville, on the old Schoharie, near Amsterdam. The study and aim of this man's life appeared to be to accomplish that which none others could accomplish ;• and; when the object sought was secured or overcome, blie passed it as quickly by as,he would the pebbles on the seashore. - • Teta LOUSE •A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE COMPASS.—The Great Dismal Swamp is partly in North Carolina and partly in Virginia. It is forty miles long, and -1 fifteen to twenty miles. wide. Professor t1 ebster, at the late meeting of the Am- erican Acsociation, told the story of a party that divided in -the swamp, one 1 portion of ,the party having no compass. The latter portion of the party was lost, ;and after long wandering, found their way out by a singular expedient. -They made use of the insect for which fine- tooth combs were invented. Putting the insect on a. fiat piece of wood. and leav- ingit to its own devices, it invariably be- gan to move in a certain direction. This - direction was followed out by.the party, and they were thus led out to the north- ward. It supposed that this instinct- ive movement of the insect is due to its seeking the way- toward the .greatest Light. mei+► Ix TEIE WRONG CAR.—A. young man, considerably the worse of liquor, got in a tramway car in Glasgow the other day, and was .very profane, so much so that he was ejected, and told he was in the wrong care but he speedily found access in another to be again: removed for a sim- ilar reason. He then entered a third car, cursing and swearing_ fearfully, when a reverend gentleman addressed him, and solemnly inquired if he knew that he was on the roadtoII-.

Stop, guard, and let me out." - - - - - D LADIES COMPARING GARTERS.—The other day, after a meeting of a certain famous woman's woman's .club in New (York, the ladies amueed themselves comparing garters, to see which wore the hand- somest, for garters of extravagant ex- pense have lately come into fashion, and several of these club members wear, theirs clasped with gold and precious stones. The jewelers are all introducing now de- signs for - garter clasps that . promise . shortie to cost as much as the bracelets that fashion has discarded. A charming woman and singer in society is said to. wear a pair of garters that cost. $500.— IT. Y. Express. - f••.- SCOTCH CAUTION.—A Scotchinan is always afraid of expressing unqualified praise. If you remark that, -'r It's a good day," the usual reply is, -" Atweel, sir, I've seen waur." If you -.say his wife is an excellent woman, he returns, " She'teno a bad body." A buxom lass, smartly, dressed, 'is '`No sac very un - purpose like." The richest and rarest viands are " No bad." A man noted for ' his benevolence is " No the warst man i' the worilt." . And should anyone mike a remark,- however novel, that squares with a Scotchman's. ideas, - he will at once say, "That's whatI've of- ten thocht !"
