Management of a CcH. A correspondent ot the Country Gentleman gives his method of imparting an education to a colt, as foI'OWS : ' ]n the first place, never intrust him to the care of a person of ungovernable temper. Secondly, he sbon'd be triated with kindness from the begin ning until he is ready for labor. Since Mr. Rarey hid his method of subduing the horse before the public, I make the horse and his disease my study. The colt should be commenced with when quite ycur>g, acd bandied carefully, as he is quick to re- Bent an ir.jurv. I begin as soon as he is able to run about—get him so that he will not run away at your approach—get his head in your hands—if he wants to get away, let him—you can easily get him again. After handling the head so that ho is not alraid, pass on to tbe side and limbs. The Booner he gets used to having bis legs handled, the easier he will be to shoe when necessity requires it to be done. See that the dam gives plenty of milk. II she does not teach the colt to drink cow's milk ; there is nothing better to promote the growth. Great care should he obierved in not using the .dam so as to beat the milk, as a great many colts are rendered worthies*; by so doing. I should in o cae let tbe colt remain with the mother after be is five months old, as it gives her time to get in good condition for winter, and it is also the best lime for him to shift for himself; do not let him remliD out after the nights get cold and frosty, as if will do hiui no good but much barm. There is plenty of skimmed milk at this season of the year; give bim all he will drink , it wilf not hurt him. After he ia weaned is tbe time to commence balter breakiug bim." MANAGEMENT OF A HORSE.— AMONG the many excellent animals on exhibition at tbe Horse Show at Springfield in September, was a mare own ed by a gentleman lrom New York, the qualities of which for kindness and easy management were very remarkable. She was the admiration of the many who witnessed her. This mare, as we learn, is abont a years old, and hes been in the possession of her present owner several years ; A Weekly Paper, Devoted to Literature, Polities, the Arts, Sciences, Agriculture, &c., &c —Terras: One Dollar and Fifty Cents in Advance. previous to which she was somewhat noted in the | neighborhood where the was kept as a vicious, un manageable animal, and the pest of the farmyard, on account of an apparently unconquerable dispo sition to bite and kick everybody and everything. Her present owner was induced to purchase her at a price to him seeming low, not knowing the worst of ber disposition. He took her home, and turn ing her loose witn his stock. Boon saw that some thing must be done to break her of these bad tricks. As a matter of necessity she was stabled, and no person was allowed to approach without something to please her palate. Occasion was often taken to fondle and talk kindly to her, and in fact much patience and time were expended, as an experi ment, to try and dispel the almost insatiate aver sion of the animal to everybody. This had its de sired effect in time, acd the once almost unmana geable, Tery disagreeable and unsafe "old kicker" was brought to her senses, and one advantage gained over another, until she is now the pot of her master and wonder of all who know her. There appears to bo no secret about this ; only a little patience, kindness, and, withal, a determined per severance on the part of the would be-master, and most vicious horse may be made the kindest of the brute species.- Boston Alias. CALVES WITH SHEEP.—To tbe editerof the Gcrmautowu Telegraph : It is well known, haps, to most of your agricultural readers, tha late calves, when they come to the barn in the fill, will, if confined in tue yards with older animals, frequently sicken and become dsbilitated. Being weak and small, they arc usually shoved about, and deprived of their due share of fond, and in con sequence "fall away" rapidly. Now I never ailow animals of this description to associate or be con fined with larger ones,but put them with my sheep, where there is no danger of their doing or receiv ing harm. Sick calves. I have observed, often pick up and devour with avidity the hay and straw from among the sheep dung. It is medicinal, and I know of no article that has a more immediate and salutary effect in restoring diseased calves to healfh khan sheep dung. 1 have practiced this usage for many years and have never lost an ani mal, though I have had many sick when they came to the barn.— A Chester Co. Fanner. HOW CARROTS AFFECT HORSES—The carrot is the most esteemed of all roots for its feeding que lities. When analyzed, it gives but: little more solid matter than any otlierroot, 85 per cent, hting water; but its influence on the stomach upon the other articles of food is most favorable, conducing to the most perfect digestion and a*- i simiUtion. This result, long known to practical I aneD, is explained by chemists as resulting from the presence of a substance called pectine, which op erates to coagulate or gi latins vegetables or vege table soluti ens, and favors this digestion in all cat tic. Horses are especially benefitted by the use of carrots. They should bo fed to thein frequently with their other food— Marklant Express. ARTEMAS WARD MAKES A SPEECH.

Shall the Star Spangled Banner be cut up into dish cloths? btamiiu bete in this Skoolbouse, upon my nativ sboar 'o to speek, I answer—N-.ry ! Oh you fellers who atr rair, a tohool mue ot Hopkinsoo, being about 'o t.ke a ben efit, aked tbo Judge to compose for him soma words tn the tune of the "President's March," which use then tho popular sir. This was on Saturday; on the Monday night following tho song wae ready, was euug with great success, ana a', once took its place as a national air of Aim rip*. As the Judge, writing of this song, in 1840, said of it, "it wis truly American; aud notbr-g else; and the patriotic feeling of every Aroericun heart respouded to it." We should add here that tbe tune itself— "President's March"—was composed in 1789, by a German named Foyles, on tbe occasion of Geoerai Washington's first visit to a theatre in tbe city of New York. A pretty fair pedigree for "Hail Columbia," and one of which DO oue born on American soil has any reason to be ashamed. The origin of "The Star Spangled Banner," as a national song, is less ancient, but hardly less richly fraught with patriotio associations than the others we have been treating of. its history is familiar to our readers. Tbe air is old Euglisb, and has been known, time out of mind, under tbe name of "Anaore on in Heaven." To this tune Robert .T r ° a ? Paine wrote one of his best odes, during tbe lifetime of Wasbington. It was calleJ "Adams QDJ Liberty," and was written for some patriotio festival dinner. Just as the company were taking their places at ta ble, a ftiend of tbe writer, to whom he had shown his verses, told Paine be had forgotten to name Wasbington in them. Whereupon the ready poet oalled for pen and ink, and im promptu threw off the best stanza in his song. It was this: "Should tbe tempest of war overshadow our land, Its bolts can ne'er rend Freedom's temple asunder; For, unmoved at its portal fhall Washington stand, And repel with his breast th' assaults of the Thunder. His sword from the sleep Of its scabbard shall leap, And conductjwitb its point, every flash to the deep; And ne'er shall the sons of Columbia be slaves, While tbe earth boare a planet, or the se* rolls its waves!" And it was to ibis ssme air, that, in 1814, Francis BoottKey, of Baltimore, then a young man, and afterwards so eminent lawyer, corn posed that we'll kniri lyric, "Too Star Span gled Banner." It • happened that Key, un der a flag of truoe, wont on Board a British frigate, which was one of • fleet tb*t waa then beleaguering Baltimore During his stay on board tbo frigate, it was decided td pommeuce the bombardment on Fort Mcflenry," and the youDg Baltimoreen was compelied io bo H wit ness of tho deadly attack upon tbe defonfes of bis nativa eitj and his home. The Fort re sponded gallantly, and the engagement betweeo it aud the fleet lasted throughout tbe night.— By "The rocket's red glare, And the bomb bursting in air," tho ardent youcg patriot could see thro' tbo night, That our flag was still there." And when the morning came it was still plainly discernible, flvin? proudly and freely. "Iu the dawn's early -light," just as it was "At the twilight's last gleaming." This was the inspiration of the "Star Span gled Banner," so called from the writer's des ignation of,the American flag, in tbe chorus of bis song. And far distant be the day wheD the descendants of those who have shed their blood on the battle fields of liberty, and when the countrymen of those who have brightened the page of our country's bistary by euch words as these, and by the noble achievements that suggested them, shall be ashamed of the song, or of the fl*g that inspired it. And let us say of these songs, as did the Jews in their captiv ity. "If I remember oot these, let my tongue cleave to tbe roof of iny mouth." There hive been other songs writton by A ruerican poets that may be considered as having gained a place among the acknowledged na tional songs of America. Gen. Morris' fino stanza; "The Flig of Columbia Forever," may ba named prominently among these, na well as tie stirnug songs, "Columbia, tho Pride of tha Ocean," the "Rod, White and Blue," and others. Eioqiieofly Patriotic. We take the folio wing most eloquent and truly patriotic passage, from a speech delivered by Ab raham Lincoln the President elect, at Springfield, Illinois, Dec. 1829 twenty-one years ago. Let every man read it, ana then say, if he can, that "Honest Old Abe" is not alt that has ere! been claimed for bim, by the Republican party : "Mr. Lamborn refers to the late elections in the States, and from their results, confidently predicts that every Stat- in the Union will vote for Mr. Van Burcn at the next Presideti'ial election.

BBACTIFUL ANSWERS.—A pupil of tua Abbe Sieord gave the following extraordinary •msweis 'What is gratitude?" •Gratitude is the memory of the heart.' •Wh-t is hope?' •Hope is the blossom of happiness.' •What is tbe difference between hope nud de sire?' 'Desire is a tree iu leaf, hope is a tree in flower, aud enjoyment is a tree iu fruit.' 'What is eternity?' 'A day without yesterday or tq-morrow—a line that has no end.' 'What is time?* •A line that has two ends—a pafh which be gins in the cradle aud ends in the grave.' 'What is God?' 'The necessary being, the sun of eternity, tho machinist of nature, tbe eye of justice, tbe watch maker of the Universe, the soul of the world.' 'Does God reason?' 'Man reasons because he doubts: he deliber ates—he decides. God is omuiscient; He never doubts— lie therefore never reasons.' ENGLISH COMPLIMENTS TO THE SECES SIONISTS.— As Georgia and South Carolina are to Übnd Commissioners to Great Britain, it is interesting to consider tbe probable re sults of their labors. In relation to this mat ter, the following extract front a Ute Dumber of the London News is perfeotly appropriate: "It is not dssy for us to ooncnive of the state of Blind which grows np uoder such con conditions as those of slavehoiding life in a Itepnblio in the nineteenth century, under a gagged press, a corrupted pulpit, a scanty and euiaeenlated literature, tbe pressure of general pioverty, und the perverseness which grows out of a seuse of exclusion from the sympathies of general society. If the slaveholders were men of tbe world and of cultivated reason there would be no such quarrel as is now raging; but tbey are not; and hence the fluctuations which so embaras9 tbe general judgment." On a certain occasion a noted infidel borrowed a sum of money from the late Dr. Lathrop, of Weat Springfield, Mass. Whan he came to pay it he tlougbt to dose the doctor with argument from the Bible. "You ought not to tr.ke interest for this money for the Jews were forbidden te take usury." "Oh, no," answered the doctor, "you forget; the Jews were, indeed, permitted to take of the heathen." The application was to direct to be mislakeu and the man wis quite willing to drop tbe argument and pay tbe tuoaey. VOL. 34. NO. 8. THE MOB SPIRIT AT THE SOCTH. —The whole machinery of the Government at the South is controlled by public enomio. A dis patch scot in cypher, recently, to Pensacola. was arrested at Mobile, ami the Department notified to that effect. The telegraph company have lost ail control of their own property, and are compelled to submit to the prevailing terrorism. This demoralization began under Messrs Cobb and Floyd, and has ramified through all the service.

I thought you preached for the ccod of souls!' . 'Souls!'replied the minister. 'I can't eat souls; ana if I could, it would take thousand such as yours to make a decent meal!' A laay, writing on the cant of the day, as to the improvement in female education, says: 'Let uien be what they shoald be as men, be fore they pronounce judgment opoo us as wo men.

Not the least of marvels of this marvellous country, is the rapidity with which obscure set tlements iu the West, expand into vast and populous cities.
