Osr parson is one of the kind who gives
the people the worth of their money,so he
gets up pretty extensive sermons for such
hot days. JLast Sunday I sat till he got
to ilthiy, and, by that time, I got as dry
as a contribution box j so I stepped out to
get a drink at the pump. The meeting
house is at the comer, and the horses are
hitched along oh both gido*
As I went out X saw something was on
foot amongst the nags: most of them had
their ears hack, and were showing their
teeth and stamping in anything but a I'e
ligious mood. When I got my fluid down
2 stopped to investigate the disturbance
among the horses, and as I knew horse
latin, sat down to take notes.
All outside the rails and hitching post,
in a pared gutter, each beating a ta<-.fay>
with a quartette of iron bools, which I at
first thought would be more profitable for
the blacksmith and farrier than for the
owners, but, as the owners were mostly
rich, it was none of my business.
The little Black reached bis head over
to tie little Ghpsnut and whispered some
thing, when the Chesnnt mowed lie meet
ing be organised by calling the big Bay
to the chair. This motion was carried,
and the chairman proceeded to state the
object of the meeting as follows:
FiXLOTS" Houses ;• —We hare now or
ganized ourselves into a convention for
the purpose of peaceably discussing our
grievances in accordance with the repub
lican character of our inalienable rights.
We are brought from our stables and pas
tures, evciy Sunday, to be tied up here,
is this hot weather, upon a pavement of
villainous holders, exposed to the heat of
a mid-summer sun and the bites' of the
merciless: files. Many of ns have not a
stitch of fly net to our backs, and all of
us have been more or less incapacitated
from protecting ourselves by having our
fails clipped to gratify an unseemly tosh
ion which neither our masters nor mis-;
tresses seem, disposed to honor, at this
time, in ' their outward continuations.—
Besides, onr check reins are left tied so
tight that we cannot bite a fly from our
shoulders, or ease our aching muscles a
minute. ;In view of these abuses, we feel
that oar condition cabs loudly tor redress ,
ami hopetois convention will devise some
means of relief.
The Blade that nominated the Chesnnt
as Secretory, which was agreed on.
The Cream Color moved a Committee
of thiee to urejajarii a platform for the can
mdentkmia themoeting. 1 Gaped, and
the dMariappoSitcd the Cream, the Bhch,

■ . HHtSej this committee ' was commlting ■

legs as wdl as the back and the ears,” and
in this form the resolution -was adopted.
By the Bobtail Black—
Hesolved, That this is an abridgment
of our own natural rights to curtail ns at
one end and tie the other, while the flies
are goffered to sock our blood. Carried
with the greatest unanimity.
By the Black Pony—
Resolved, That these flies bite like b—l.
Objected to by the Deaeon’s Yellow
Mare. (The Pony had been brought up
in a livery stable where his morals had
been sadly neglected.) The little Sorrel
said the Pony was right. The old Dun
thought the language too strong for the
place, but wonld vote for it any other day
but Sunday. The big Gray moved to
strike out all after “ Besolved/’ and insert
“ that these flies have the faculty of caus
ing the members of this convention, and
our race generally, much pain and annoy
ance.”
At this the Pony fairly kicked one leg
over the shaft, and bit a splinter from a
rail He said:
' u M r * Chairman, the horse just up is an
old fogy. Igo for calling things by their
right names. This standing up here in
such weather is a d—-d outrage which no
Christian horse could endure. Master is
in there on his soft cushions, hearing
Shadrach, 4c., in the fiery furnace, that
did not burn them a bit, while we stand
here in a fiery furnace thgt does nearly
take the hair off, and tormented by flies to
boot! I protest against Dun’s milk mid
water substitute, and call for the previous
question on my resolution.
This was seconded by the Bobtail Black,
littht Sorrel and Dapple Grey, and the res
olution wes carried by a large majority.
The Cream announced that the commit
tee on a platform was ready to report, and
presented the following:
- Ist. Since the horses are deprived of
their natural defences, they should be ef
, factually secured against flies, &c., while
confined in harness.
2d. No good Christian will leave his
horse tied in the sun, upon the paving
stones, when there is a shade and soft
ground within fifty yards.
Sd. The man who keeps a check rein
hitched up while his horse is waiting by
the hour, onght to go to the place we read
of.
4th. The provisions of the Golden Buie
should be constructed so as to apply to
horses as well as men.
This platform was adopted by a unani
mous neigh, and the Secretary was order
ed to furnish a copy to every horse con
gregation, in the city for ratification, with
the request that the subject be acted upon
next Sunday.
-Just then the people began to come oat
of the church. The little Black tossed
his head and gave the Chesnnt a wicked
leer. The Yellow Mare whinnied for her
colt, the Pony champed his bit sulkily,
but all were so glad to get awny that they
moved off at the word, and I guess that
this,convention, like many others, will
end only in talk. However, if no reform
is effected in a short time, I shall look for,
further action. SCIOTO.
A Chukch Seized with a Biuors
Attack.. —Last Sabbath was Quarterly
Meeting of the H. E. Church, and, as
usual on such occasions, the Sacrament
was administered. After the meeting ad
journed, the members went their several
ways, some to dine with friends in town,
some to their homes in the country. In
about an hour the doctors were in requi
sition in every direction ; to 2 whole mem
bership was sealed with a~ simultaneous
“bilious attack,” and the demand for
remedial agents was general. The first
smell of the sumptuous dinners prepared
provoked sudden and involuntary eructa
tion on the part of the orthodox members
of the respective families. venerable
Peter Cartwright, Presiding! Elder, for
whom extra preparations had, of course
been made, retired from the, prospect as
dinner came on, a. little bent over, with
both hands placed below his vest buttons,
declaring that “ he didn’t feel like eating”
One brother is said to have ipade for his
house, half bent, and with a groan, tum
bled on to the bed, and in reply to bis
wife’s “What's the matterPf exclaimed
in a despairing tone, « Oh! Iv’e got the
cholera.” The epidemic spread all through
the coomlry, exciting considerable alarm,
and occasioning a general easting up of
accounts. But the panic subsided when
it was ascertained that antimonml wine
had been, by mistake, administered to the
whole body of communicants. | We under
stand that “Unde Peter” stud “it was
the first time he ever knew an attempt to
Tamil die devil out of toelehureb”—
Although!! was a serious matter, the sin
ners, owing to the hardness ofjtheir hearts,
did laugh.— Winchester (JH| Chronicle.

| rope performances. He first made a rapid
trip over his alight bridge to Canada, sajs
the Buffalo Express, and on his return,
when about half way to the centre, he
stopped and sat down, then stretched him
self at foil length upon the rope, then
performed a number of daring antics, and
finally stood upright upon his head, re
maining in that reversed position for a
length of time which seemed nmoment at
least, swinging and lacking his feet in the
most reckless though ludicrous manner
that can be conceived of. Besoming his
journey, he proceeded but a little way
when he again halted and repeated his
performance, with the addition! of a back
ward somersault, and one or two sudden
swings around the rope, which caused a
general flatter among the hearts of the
spectators, and brought little screams from
many of the ladies.
Starting forward again he proceeded to
the open space in the centre, between the
extreme guy ropes that branch off to eith
er bank, where the cable spans" the golf
without stay or Accompaniment. Here
he paused again, and laying his pole upon
one of the gay ropes, he swung himself
under the cable and ron aeross this cen
tral space of single cord, in the style of a
monkey ; hanging beneath, and swinging
himself along by his hands and feet, with
great rapidity. Going back' again in the
same gymnastic manner, when he had re
turned to the point where his pole rested
he began a series of performances which
outdid in startling effect upon the nerves
of the spectators, all that he had done be
fore., Clutching the rope with his hands
be swung his body clear from it, and hung
for a lengthy period of more than seconds,
suspended by the arms, and by one arm,
over the fearful depth of the cb*stn Then
he repeatedly turned such a suspended
somersault as is familiar to boys, throwing
his feet over his head and between his
arms, and hanging with the shoulderjoints
in a most unnatural position. Then he
straightened his body into a horizontal
position, still suspended by tire arms,
thrown backward as described —an exer
tion requiring immense strength and cal
culated to exhaust the tmryqns systeu
tremendously. After this he snspeimM
himself by the legs, and b; one single
leg, hanging head downward —whirled
around the rope—turned more somersaults
—stood upon his head again, and in feet
performed nearly all the most reckless
feats attempted by tight rope performers
under ordinary circumstances. Twice
again, before reaching the bank he halted
and repeated some of these antics. The
performance was wonderful, and exciting
enough for the most greedy seeker after
sensations; and was by far the greatest
yet given by Mons. Blondin.
Advice to Toukg Men.- —Socrates
did not urge his friends to enter early
upon public employments, butfirst to take
pains for attainment of the knowledge
necessary for their success in them.
Are you stepping on the threshold of
life ? Secure a good moral character.— r
Without virtue you cannot be respected j
without integrity you can never rise to
distinction and honor.
Be careful lest a too warm desire of dis
tinction should deceive you into pursuits
that may cover you with shame by setting
your incapabilities and slender abilities in
your hand.
People who have the rashness to go
into stations without proper authority and
the requisite preparation tor the service
of the public, not only involve; others in
loss, but subject themselves toridieule.
The tricky, deceitful, and dishonest are
rarely prosperous; for when confidence is
withdrawn, poverty is Ekely to follow.
The shortest and shurest way to five
with honor in the world, is to be in reality
wbat we appear to be.
When once a concealment or deceit has
been practiced in matters where aU should
be fair and open as the day, confidence
can never be restored, any more than you
can restore the white bloom to the grape
or plum that you have once pressed in
your hand.
Error is the cause of manyttiscries, the
corrupt principle that has produced evil
in toe world ; ’tis this which begets and
cherishes in our souls all the evils af
flict us and we can never expect to gain
true and solid happiness bat by !a serious
endeavor to avoid It! Falsehood boot on
ly one of toe most humiliating yioes, but
sooner dr laterit is most certain to lead to
most serums mime. ? ”
