De- cember 1st, 1876, $77,415.60 Intellect and Affection - Horse. Good common sense in the master is fully appreciated by the horse. An intelligent, bright horse will soon learn whether h is mas- ter is his equal or his inferior in the moral qualities which go to make up character. Not to know that horses have individual character and disposition as marked and varied as men, is to lack the first essential of beingagood horseman. Not to recognize the possession of intellect by the horse is erroneous. Talk of instinct! why, I have known horses who seemed, from their intel- ligence, better qualifi' 0 vote than many in the _who exercise the right 'Of suffrage. Then as to affection and fidelity, an averagcjorsc possesses more of both than the generality of gallants and flirts at the fashionable watering places. ‘ To the intellect and affections of this mag- nificent animal you must address yourself, if you desire to secure his most valuable and beautiful performances. If an accident oc- curs to the harness or carriage and the driver’s voice betra 's fright, the horse will instantly discover it, and become frightened as well ; if the driver’s manners and tones are calm and firm, the horse is reassured and pas- sive. . If in grooming, harnessing and driving the average horse, kindness and a little petting are habitual, the horse soon becomes attached to his master and stable, and will exhibit his affection by following the master’s call or returning home from a distance when turned loose in the road; he will come up and kiss the hand which feeds him, look love from his great generous eyes into the face of his master, and dance hornpip es, circling about on the lawn with a lithe and graceful move- ment that 110 J ack-tar can imitate—II. M. W. in C’ong-rcgatl‘onalist. .r—o Light not Always Wise. The children of this world are wiser in their generation in this : that they will com- bine energies and efforts for the common ends. In the following instance they rebuke Christian ofiishness and sectarianism. ,A missionary of the American Sunday School Union among'his Scandinavian coun- trymen in Minnesota, writes : “In canvassing R .. - - township, 1 found there were more than a half-dozen different denominations; but none of them were willing to co-operate in a Union Sunday School. “There were others of no denomination, and some children of careless parents, and as these were earnestly desirous of a Sunday School; I succeeded in organizing it and it_is progressing finely.” . Another missionary of the Society, in Illi- nois, writes: “I could give you many instan. ces where, in mixed neighborhoods, denomi- national efforts have failed, but the Union Sunday School has proved a great blessing.” Such cases do not prove, nor do the friends of the American Sunday School Union wish to be understood as maintaining, that denom. inational schools may not be wisely and suc- cessfully established on missionary ground, but only that there are many places- where the Union School is most feasible and dcsir. - l)1c.——(}.’lurclt Union. - Children of ..»—._——-._.

To M. and Mrs. Henry Kellogg on the Occa- sion. of.thez'r fiftieth Marriag' e Anni/verso May 23, 1877. _ ' r11. Five decades since, one bright May day, When early flowers of Spring were fair; When on the meads and lanes there lay A gladness o’er earth and air; When dogwood blooms along the hills, Were white as snow in winter times; When freshness leaped in mountain rills, And nature sang in flowery rhyme; When blooms were on the cherry trees, And pale pink on the apple hung— The bright leaves quivering in the breeze. And all the landscape seeming young. A happy pair joined hand and heart, Young love‘to love its pledges made— The future had no cloud nor shade, And life the seasons counterpart. Since then full fifty years have rolled— Full fifty Springs have bloomed again— As many Summers tinged with gold The fi'clds of waving, ripened grain— As many Autumns dyed the wood With scarlet, brown and russet leaves, And fifty Winters chained the flood, And dropped the snow flakes on the eaves. Joys came and went, and sorrows too— Grief, pleasure, honor—mingled all Glad scenes as bright as summer’s blue, And others dark as midnight pail. Friends gone ahead to watch and wait, Only alittle while before, And then on Heaven’s peaceful shore To meet them at the pearly gate. To-day we greet them! God has sent His glories round-a-bout their heads, With such a wealth of kind intent As only His great goodness sheds. On such as do their duty well ’ The world may twine for them its flowers, And poets rhyme their kindness tell ; He only sees these hearts of ours. May man and wife like those of old, As Isaac and Rebecca be— Their closing years be tipped with gold, As clouds are by the sunset sea. Like ripe grapes in Autumn time The richness all grown manifest; . The lives of others they have blessed, And living made their own sublime. J. M. TURNER. From the Atlantic Monthly for Jam. Peach-Blossom. BY BAYARD TAYLOR. 1. . Nightly the boar-frost freezes I The young grass of the field, Nor yet have blander breezes The buds of the oak unsealed; Not yet pours out the vine His airy resinous wine ; But over the southern slope, The wands of the peach-tree first °Into rosy beauty burst ; A breath, and the sweet buds ope! A day, and the orchards bare, Like maidsin haste to be fair, Lightly themselves adorn With a scarf the Spring at the door Has sportively flung before, Or a stranded cloud of the moon! 4 11. What spirit of Persia comelh And saith to the buds, “Unclose,” Ere ever the first bee hummeth, Or woodland wild-flower blows ? What prescient soul in the sod Garlands each barren rod With fringes of bloom that speak Of the baby’s tender breast, And the boy’s pure lip unprcssed, And, the pink of the maiden’s check? The swift, keen Orient so Prophesies as of old, While the apple’s blood is cold. Remembering the snow. III. Afar, through the mellow hazes Where the dreams of J one are stayed, The hills, in their vanishing mazes, Carry the flush, and fade! Southward they fall, and reach To the bay and the ocean beach, Where the soft, half-Syrian air Blows from the Chesapeake's Inlets, coves, and creeks On the fields of Delaware! And the rosy lakes of flowers, That here alone are ours, - Spread into seas that pour Billow and spray of pink Even to the blue wave’s brink, ' All down the Eastern Shore! * * :01 1k 1* )0: V. What fool, to-day, would rather In wintry memories dwell? What miser reach to gather The fruit these boughs foretell? No, no !——the heart has room For present Joy alone, Light shed and sweetness blown, Ber odor and color and bloom! As the earth in the shining sky, Our lives in their own bliss lie ; Whatever is taught or told, However men moan and sigh, Love never shall grow cold And Life shall never die ! Ax ORIENTAL discemrrus—Mr. Oscanyan n his book The Sitan and his People, tells the following anecdote of a Turkish physician, whose prescription and method of treatment will interest practitioners in New York: A person exceedingly ill of typhus fever called in one of these medical gentlemen, who, although he considered the case quite hopeless, prescribed for his patient, and took his leave. The next day, in passing by, he inquired of a servant at the door if his master was not dead. “Dead! No ; he is much better." Whereupon the doctor proceeded up stairs to obtain the solution of this miracle. "Why,” said the convalescent, “I was con— sumed with. thirst, and I drank a pailful of the juice of pickled cabbage.” “Wonderful!” quoth the doctor.‘ And out came the tablets, on which the physician made this inscription, “cured of typhus fever Mchemed Agha, an upholsterer, by drinking a pailful of pickled cabbage juice.” Soon after, the doctor was called to anoth- er patient, a yaglllikgce, or dealer in embroid- ered handkerchiefs, suffering from the same malady. He forthwith prescribed “a pailful of pickled cabbage juice.” 0n calling the next day to congratulate his patient on his recovery, he was astonished to be told the man was dead. The Oriental rliseulapius, in his bewilderment at these phenomena, came to the safe conclusion, and duly noted it in his memoranda, that “al- though in cases of typhus fever pickled c'ab- bage juice is an efficient remedy, it is not, how— ever to be used unless the patient be by pro fission an. 21pholsterer.”——ED1TOR’s DRAWER, i'n Ilmptr‘s .Uagasinc for J unr.
