TBUSHED BY REQUEST. A PASSING WISH. II Y T E'8 Wo have no hesitancy in asserting at the outset, that but a limited number ot horse-owners, in providing sustenance* for the animals under their charge, take into consideration the effects of food upoh their system or the connection of the manger with the stomscb, and the subsequent bearing of certain modes of treatment upon the constitution. The system of feeding horses is diverse and complex; no set formula can be laid down, for with the various qualities of horses it must vary, and the various circumstances under which they may be required to do their work have also a controling influence. Generally speaking all horses receive too much hay and not a proportionate amount of grain, or too much of both. Slow working horses do not reqnire so much nutriment of a high quality, as thoso which are called on to do quirk work and perform long distances; but as a ru'e, all animals which have to do hard work, and much «f it, must necessarily be so kept as to have hard flesh, and they cannot be so kept, unless they are fed on hard grain. The faster and severer thfe work which a horse is expected to perform, the sounder, more nutritious and more abundant should be his food. His oats should be increased and his hay diminished.

Dry hay is indisputably injurious to the wind; for ordinary work in their own stables the quantity of hay may be increased threo to five pounds and the allowance of grain reduced to twelve quarts. A good plan is to give a good mash ol stewed bran and oats once a week, this will cool the blood, give a kindly alterative to the system, keep the bowels moderately open and please the appetite of the animal. The use of nitre or drugs of any description should bo studiously avoided and only used when prescribed as medicine. Many more horses than one would imagine have their wind broken by being worked quick and hard, with their bellies distended with hay, grain and water; are foundered ironi being over-fed, while ho:,exhausted, and in a state of quati collapse; aro exposed tC •cute inflammation of the boivels, colic, £c. from being freely watered and subjected to .drafts of cold ait, mowers cf rain, or being injudiciously bathed or washed after sharp work, when their stomachs are empty and themselves craving a good dressing and a warm mash. Horses Bbould never be fed within an hoar before being put to work, aiid should then be worked but slowly until the bowls are fully evacuated. Water should never be given to them in large quantities before being put to work, and not at all on their coming off work, while hot, atill less when jaded and exhausted. It should he supplied them often and in abundance, not so much in large draughts at a time, which improperly distend the sloma:h, as in small quantities at frequently recurring intervals. New corn is emphatically dangerous as horse feed and should never be used as such, being heating, it is very apt to cause colic and even acute inflammation. Old corn may be allowable, but should only be given sparingly and cautiously, in the ratio of two quarts where you would give three of oats. Moistening both hay and oats is especially beneficial to the wind and is a good practice. Horses are fond of salt and small quantities should occasionally be mixed with their lood. The training of horses for racing is comparatively speaking limited to a small" class of people, and being of lit tie general interest demands but a passing notice under our heading. Herbert says it consists, of course, in getting the horse for a short time, into the highest possible state of condition : hardness of flesh, excitement of spirits, bloom of coat, speed of foot and depth of wind, which is effected by combining the most nutritious and stimulating system of feeding, with such constant and severe exercise, and sucli medical treatment.as, whije exciting and raising every power of the animal to the utmost prevents surfeit, prevents fever,and,for the time preserves an equilibrium, which, however, at best is only temporary and cannot possibly be prolonged ad injinitum.

Will not the Democratic Senators "leave in a bodj," when their chamber shall be darkened by the presence of a descendant of Africa? The threat that the representatives of certain Slates would "leave in a body," in high theatrical dudgeon, used to be a potent instrumentality in bringing the North to its knees before the ruling aristocracy.

These offiera aro so tempting, that thousands of subscribers are obtained and their money forwarded. Up to this point everything goes well. But at this point everything suddenly stops—except the proprietor of tho magazine, who retires from business, and sets off upon his travels. A gentleman found in some offices, which he had unwittingly rented to one ofthese swindlers, scsres of parcels of letters from every part of the country written in response to the circulars, and specifying the amounts of money inclosed. During tho occupation of the room they were furnished in the most expensive and luxurious manner, so that if anybody in the rural districts was suspicious and wrote to some friend to investigate, everything should appear to be satisfactory. The Department will do what it can to baffle these swindling efforts. But the only safe way for country postmasters, and all who recoivo prospectu-es of magazines, with "great inducements" to agents and solicitors, is, notwithstanding the specimon numbers, to sstisfv themselves whether there are such magazines, and whether there is likely to bo a February and March as well as a January number.—Harper's Weekly. ed with an oM ruined from which he NW, at the commencement of the year, every farmer should east over in his mind what he will do and how he will do it.

In the days when the spinning-wheels I hummed busily in the farm-houses, and even i great ladies, clothed in silk and thread laces, had their toy spinning-wheels of polished oak, there might be seen in districts far away from among the lanes, or doep in the bosoms of the hills, certain pallid, undersized men, who, by the side of the brawny country folks, looked like the remnants of a disinherited race. The shepherd's dog barked fiercely when one of these alien-looking men appeared on the upland, dark against the early winter sunset; for what dog likes a figule bent under a heavy bag ? and these pale men rarely stirred abroad without that mysterious burden. The shepherd himself, though he had good reason to believe that the bag held nothing but flaxen thread, or else the long rolls of strong linen spun from that thread, was not quite sure that the trade of weaving, indispensable though it was, could be carried on without the hejpof the Evil One. In that far-off time, superstitions clung easily around every person or thing that was at all unwonted, or even intermittent and occasional merely, like the visits of the peddler or the knife-grinder. NVD one knew where wandering men had their homosor theirorigin; and how was a man to be explained, unless you at least knew somebody who knew his father or mother? To tho peasants of olden times, the world outside their own direct experience was a region of vagueness and mystery. To their untraveled thought, a state of wandering was a conception as dim as the winter life of the swallows that came back with the spring; and even a settler, if he came from distant parts, hardly ever ceased to be viewed with a remnant of distrust, which would have prevented any surprise, if a long coarse of inoffensive conduct on his part had ended in tho commission of a crime; especially if he had any skill in the handicraft. All cleverness, whether in the rapid uso of that difficult instrument, .the tongue, or in some other art unfamiliar to tho villagers, was in itself suspicious. Honest folksborn and bred in a visible manner,were mostly not over-wise nor clever ; at least, not beyond BASE BALL EMPORIUM, moods, and was as far from success as ever.

I didn't write you last week, because it was too rear the wunth of January to do it. I am sorry to say that, sublime as the sight of seeing one year passing into another year, I missed it, because I was "tite." From an eye-witness, I understand that 1869 passed into IS70, some time during the night of the 30-wunth of December, 1809. It was dark at the time, which prevented its being seen as distinctly as some folks would have liked to have seen it. It will bo SOD,001 years before this interesting event takes place by daylight; so no old cuss that is alive now need give himself uneasiness for fear a new year will commence while he i3 taking lunch, nor during bask hours. It is a funny thing to think of, yet no philosopher that ever lived has been able to explain or do away with the theory that, if a man went to sleep at 11 P. M., the 30-wunth of December, 1869, and woke up in two hours, he was a year older than when he went to bed. lY/fcDOUGALL'S 1YJL CENTRAL BOOK AND MUSIC STORE, said Then," she replied, 'I have uo more A Tennessean wis last we »k sentenced to death for kisses."
