In breaking a Dolt the fuse lesson bonld bo to turn bin;; ,Woos, either hes ox -stall or carriage house, and, with .he whip iu the right-hand, slowly ap- proach him and crack the whip. The Solt will run away from you and irener- i .11y go into the corner. Follow him do, however, and keep creating the 'whip lntil he turns his bead Sowards you. - Toe Moment he..does this, step right up to him and-caregiiih on the point of the shoulder.

As ho will feel that you are his superior and master' , hp will sh.aw no desiro.to kick. What the fingers are to, • .ti man tno nostrils are to .a horse ; and my object that seems-to'gcaasicn a feel- ing of fear in the hoise yon should slow. ly eitberr take hfni:to .or btiiig up to him, and permit hien to' nose around it and smell it until ho is satisfied' it is harm - es: For instance, "before .14aking any attempt to put on.the halter, ,:take it in your left hand ami lethirn smell it ; then buckle it on•over'his neck'. Always be • very oalm°and quiet in your manner, and -talk softly to the horse, which goes s: a great waytowards getting him accus- fi fined to ur presence. I. if .thea colt endeavors to pull away after tiie halter is on, my plan is to cir- ilnmvent hien by a little. strategy. Take • a common clothes -line rope and snake a • large slip -loop kept. around the body, ' • drawing it moderately tight, and pass j¢be enol up between the front legs •,through th©-halter. The reason for • doing this is•very apparent. He cannot 1rndorstand .how anything can pull the •lsiild,part of 'lis„ body and his hoad at -:the same 'time ; aiid onf,peliug the strain -behind he will gd forward, and thus you .'yvi,11 aC'complish your object without ein"gcompelled to, use force. Taking Otis: rope in the right hand and standing directly iu front of Ilio colt, say, iu a decided nSatinev -1' Come here I " and at the same time pull;; -.the rope sharply. The colt will invariably"move forward; • and then he doee so, caress' him. Ile - 'peat this: two or three tim-es,• until he Will quickly move forward; then say, 'R omo herei " ext, frith -the rope bitch hiin to the manger or to a post, anis, standing in front of him, hen and shut umbrellas, Shake buffed° rgbes and beat tin pans— in fact, make as much noise as possible -without touching. him. Of course he `oannot think'of two things at onoe, and the rope tied arouud him behind catches him by, surprise, and he will'end by giv- ing up trying toget away when ho finds that he .it•freer, from pain when . he is still tan when jerking his head. Nror a very nervous' horse put the rope as far forward as possible iouiicl Ed Tiod'y. This treatment can' be applied until he its thoroughly halter broken. The same arrangement in the most successful one in osistenco for halter pullers, and 'is `also a most valuable assistant in leading 'a horse behind a waggon. !How many people are at their wits' end coutlapally • when on.a long rido with a horse tied ,to the carriage bohiud—and yet this simple invention wbuld'prevent it all, and they would nOt be obligedto eve ..givo the horse a thought. • - -- The -next-lesson -to be given -the sett should -be the harnessing. First, put on the open bridle with the straight bar • bit, and run the lines back through the thill straps•° Then teach the colt to tarn to the right and to the left, and to ' stop at the word whoa. ' These lessons • sbquld, iiei•er.• he longer •than an hour •--•- - each, and generally- only two a day.

A writer in Chambers' ,loi!r rat records some iutelisting peculiarities of the • trout. In a lake in Sutherland. aro trout ' whose flesh ie bright like a salmon's'and yet arenot fit to bo eaten. Also in a liiue- stoueburu there are the very finest trout, which on the table are perfectly white in flesh; but in another limestone bnr.n from tho same source, or nearly so, the trout are quite different in appearance. externally, but equally white in flesh, and equally delicious for sating. The a writer says : ' "I put' a quarter pound trohb, along with others, into 3i previously barren loch. In two years some of those trout attained to four and a quarter. pounds weight, developed huge fine, and square, or rounded tails, lost all spots, took on a ......coat of dirk aline, grow huge teeth and " •became ferocious in that short time. The common burn trout taken from a A very high rocky burn up in the bills, in two years became iudietiuguishable from saline ferox. The first year they :drew to a pentad or a pound and -a half, took on a hrii ht silvery sheen of scales, wore deep and high-slio�i!derec , lu:tty and Powerful, i'tiis was when their feeding rld conilit]on were at their bc.st; but as food .dee;•eased, the trout rapidly in- m»asod in number, spavmingin innumer- able quantities, an., with no enemies, :he larger- hell bogail to prey on titin smaller, grow big ref.+F , swanrdeep ansl lost color, grew It ge ti us and a big hoad, • and became salnio ferox, so called." ' 's'14 )Evils of illodirate Drinklns, The subject of moderate drinking brings me into direct oo11ielon with one of our most cherished practices. Were Ito fathom the depths of drupkennese, and bring its horrors to view : Were , I even to exhibit total abstinence as the only remedy for the drunkard; were I to repel the whole hoz i of objections which are generally advanced in opposition to the abstinence principle ; were I to eon - tend for a prohibitory law as essential to the suppression of intemporance—I might offend none, and obtain the assent of many; but when I challenge the.prao- tices of those who never exceed the most moderate' indulgence in the use of stimulants, I am prepared to lie regarded as ono who may be very earliest, bub not very wise. .They are the fibber, and not the intemperate, to whom we chiefly look iu the prosecution of this Cause. A comparatively small portion of drunk- ards, we believe, ever will bo reclaimed. further, very far short of what we cp.uki designate drunkenness, there are evils to .he iiiarked, formidable enough in our estiipatiou to mako all reflecting people consider if moderate drinking is the harmless practice they have hitherto supposed it to be. My object, then, will be to show that moderate- drinking is accompanied, by gree .and manifold evils, and thatvery much of the respon- eihility connected with the intemperance of the country lies at the door of those who were never drunk in their lives. I notice,,. First, That moderate drinking injures health. That intemperate drink= ing injures health all will admit; my conviction is, that the same charge nay be brought against moderate drinking. Here I adtiuoo a variety of proof. High medical authority may be adduced ;— Dr. Copeland, In his Medical Dictionary, says, " Therecau be no doubt bhab, as expressed by tho late Dr. Gregory, an occasional excess is, uponthe. whole, less injurious to the oonstitution than the practice of daily taking a moderate' quantity of any fermented liquor or .spirits." Dr. M'Nish, the author of the "Anatomy of Drunkenness," was of opiuiou that " the poor Indian who once a 'mouth drinks himself dead, all but simpl''breathing, will outlive-•for•••year"a the man who drinks little and often, and is not perhaps suspeeted of intem- perance." Dr. Gordon, of London, stated before the Parliamentary Com, pritteo on Drunkenness, that when pur- suing his studies at Edinburgh, ho had occasion to open a great many bodies of persons who died of various diseases, and who had been reputed for' their moral and religious habits. In all these cases there was more or less affection of the liver, and lie 'attributed ib to the fact, that they were in Jim habit of habitually drinking moderately of intoxi- cating Liquors. Dr. Andrew Combo says, " I regard even the ` teniporate use of wino, when not required by the atate of the constitution, as ahvays more or less injurious." What • says Dr. Carpenter, the most accomplished of modern physio. logists ?—" Let it bo remembered that wo have multitudes of 'cases, inawhich long continued agency of morbific causes, of comparatively low intenalty,.. has been proved to be no less potent in• bbe end;than-the-adminstration of a porsoi7 . in a dose large enough to 'produce ite'• obviously and immediately injurio""ug effects.
