£&m, &M&tn From the Germaatown Telegraph. MULES OR HORSES. No sensible farmer will deny that mules have some few advantages over horses. Ther why not use mules instead of horses ? Wbeu will they make the change I answer when they prefer utility, interest and a just taste to a diseased fancy. I know many farmers who would be ashamed\o be caught riding in a carriage behind a pair of mules j and why ' Is it because a mule has longer ears or small er feet than a horse ? I think it proceeds from a species of false pride. For although 1 ad mit that a good horse looks better than nine teoths'of the males wc see, yet 1 deny that a bad horse looks better than a good mule. And why is it that our horses look so much better than most of our mules? The rerson is iJjjj our farmers have a false notion that it is not necessary that a mule should be kept clean, therefore they always look rough and dirty. My belief is that if a mule has the game attention in every respect that is usually bestowed on a horse, he will look as well and in fact will out 100 £ and out work most horses of any breed. But there are several other items beside ap pearance to be taken into consideration. From the report of an agricultural commit tee in South-Carolina, in the year 1824, I quote the following : "The annual expense of keeping a horse is equal to his value. A horse at four years old will not bring much more than his cost. Two mules can be raised at a less expense than one horse. (?) The mule is fit for labor earlier, ami if of sufficient size will perform as much labor as a borse ; and if attended to when first put to work, his gait and his habits may be formed to suit his owner." I am convinced that a pair of mules may be kept in good condition, and do all the work usually required of a pair of horses on a farm, on three-fourths the hay and one half the grain that would usually be fed to a pair of horses doing the same work. The expense of shoeing a mule the year round is not more than one-third that of the horse ; his hoofs being harder and more horny and so slow of growth, that the shoes require no removal, but hold till worn out; and the wear, from the lightness of the animal, is mnch less. They are always found to be true pullers and quicker travelers with a load than horses; tbev are more steady in their draught than horses, and are less likely to waste their strength, ard therefore are more suitable to work before oxen. In hoe-harrowing, his feet being smaller and following each other more nearly in a line, he is not so likely to tread on the corn. The longevity of the mule is proverbial. Pliny mentions one eighty years old ; De Rus saw two in England which were seventy years old. Therefore the owner of the mule may reasonable look for the continuance of his mule capital for thirty years, whilg at the end of fifteen years the owner of the horse must look to his crops or his bank for renewiug his. A correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot asserts that "Col. John E. Howard had a pair of mules that worked thirty years, after which they were sold to a carter in the city, and performed a hard service for several years longer." After so much said about mules, it will be deemed folly, by some, to ask the questiou, what is a mule ? The answer will, niue times out of ten, be, "a hybrid between the horse and the ass." Yet this is not exactly correct, lor a hybrid between the horse and ass will produce two distinct races of animals, as different from one another as a horse is different from a mule. One of these, the offspring of the male horse or stallion and the female ass, is the hinny, (from the Latin hinnue, the derivative of the word hinnire, to neigh.) This animal is characteristic of the borse, which he closely resembles in many qualities: but be also inherits the hardy con stitution and activity of his mother, the ass. One distinguishing feature of the biony is that he neighs like a horse, and his ears are ■mailer and his feet larger than the mule proper. In every respect he partakes more of the character of the horse than tbe ass. Tbe second hybrid between the male ass or jack, and the female horse or mare, is the male, (from the Latin hemionus, or half-ass.) This hybrid takes after his sire, as in the case of the former hybrid. I have never had any experience with the hinny, but have heard it said they were preferable to the mule for pleasure traveling but not for heavy draught. Can any of the many readers of the Telegraph give ns light upon this subject? I should be glad to have it. My belief is, that if a pair of mule colts were taken at weaning and brought up similar in every way to a pair of horses, they (the mules) would be much preferable for com mon farm work, and quite as good for road traveling. But we often see farmers keeping six or eight horses: why not change them for as many mules? Or if too proud to ride be hind a pair of mules, why not exchange six of the eight for as many mules? Why cannot our farmers raise males more than they do? But if we are to take the opinion of De Denyon the celebrated French physiologist, as a guide, we must be careful what Wires we use for one thing. No amount of blood on the part of the dam will improve the mule; for whether the mare be common dunghill breed, or as thorough bred as Spiletta, the mother of Eclipse, the offspring is still a mule of the same ass type. De Denyon tells us that a mare which has once borne a hybrid becomes herseif a hybrid, and can never bear a perfect animal of her own race afterward. Imagine our faces then if we stint such mares as Gray Eagle, Wagner, Lilly Dale or Sallie Grey, to common jacks, and afterward bleed them to a Revenue, a Lexington, a Monarch, or a Sweeper, and find the progeny on its ap pearance to be a longeared mnle with a stripe along its back and a bar across its shoulders! Have any of the readers of the Telegraph, or can the Editor give us any reliable data on this point? I)e Denyon's comes from too far off. After alj, the greatest part of our valuable knowledge comes from the ex perience of others. This is at least the case with me. AJIOS W. BIGGS. Lancaster County, Pa., July 8, 1569. LATE SOWING. \V beat that ia sown late generally results in total or partial failure. It may be safely said that four out of five crops sown in October, in this section, fail to produce paying results. Ihe chances are heavily against such crops. The attempt to force them forward with fer tilizers and manures has resulted only in pro duciog a luxuriant growth but (ailed to hasten the ripening process. The best effect of ma nure on late crops was obtained when the manure had been applied the year before the wheat was sown. This, with well drained land, a rolling surface and a Southern expo sure, will ripen wheat six or eight days earli er than when sown on a level soil without drainage and favorable exposure. Our experience is general that when wheat is sown in good season, even when the soil is not rich and the cultivation indifferent, the crop is fair if the season be iavorable. A few years ago, when the flv attacked the wheat in the fall, late sowing was adopted. The result was a greater loss than when dam aged by the fly. The wheat ripened late and was attacked both by rust and the wheat weevil. Wheat should be sown in Septem ber, and never later than the 10 of October. Otherwise the wheat midge, and the rust which comes with hot sultry weather, will be sure to destroy it. Select healthy, early va rieties of seed, drain and cultivate well, sow early, and the chances tor a good crop are greatly increased,— Farm Journal pgttmormtiS. Skylights—'The sun, moon and stars.

"TOM, I bear you are broke?'' "Yes," said Tom, with a sigh, "and so broke that if steamboats were selling at a cent a piece, I couldn't buy a plank 1" "THE attempt," says an exchange, "to start an asylum for useless young men has failed, as no building could be constructed large enough." Ax old bachelor, seeing the words "Fam ilies supplied" over the door of a shop, step ped in and said he would take a wife aDd two children. A COUPES in Chicago met for the first time ou Friday last, courted Saturday, were "en gaged'' on Sunday, and married on Monday. When will they be divorced ? "PRISONER, you Lave beard the complaint for habitual drunkenness; what have you to say in your defence ?" "Nothing, please your honor, but habitual thirst." "MY son," said an anxious father, why do you chew that nasty tobacco?" The boy, de clining to consider the question in the spirit in which it was asked, replied: "To get the juice." "MAMMY," said a precocious little boy, who, against his will, was made to rock' the cradle of his baby brother, "if the Lord has anj more babies to give away, don't you take 'eai!" A WEDDIXG took place uear Dry Grove, Miss., a few days since, in which the bride bad scaicely reached her tenth year, the groom being over six feet high and tkirtj eight years of uge. A WEST POIXT correspondent says: "A cadet confidentially informs us that 'none of us think anything of being engaged to tour or five girls at the same time. That's the fun, you kuow.' The wretch!" A rouse man in St. Joseph, Mo., has com menced a suit against a yonng ladv for ob taining goods under false pretences. The articles in question were presents made dur ing an engagement now broken off. A couxTßy clergyman gays he has married but one couple in a year, anu that they paid him nothing, stayed to dinner a9 it was a rainy day, and then borrowed his unbrella when they left, which he has never seen since. WE got badly "taken in" at the Girard House, the other day. Walking in one of the halls, we saw a splendid-looking fellow coming toward us but on drawing nearer, we found ourselves before an immense mirror. LF.AX PORKERS.— The farmer whose pigs were so lean that it took two of them to make a shadow, has been beaten by another, who had several so thin that they would crawl out through the cracks in their pen. He finally stopped that fun by tying knots in their tails. MORE people are used up by doing nothing than hard work. The most difficult task that ever fell to the lot of man is to kill time. It most always ends in killing its subjects, a sort of two edged sword, it goes back on its pos sessor. Ox some railroads it is customary to have a the the stove to prevent the passengers from meddling with the fire. A conductor being asked why they locked the stove, re plied, that "it was to prevent the fire from going out." Ax artist invited a friend to criticise a por trait he bad painted of Mr. Smith, who wag given to drink. Putting his hand toward it, the artist exclaimed: "Don't touch it; it is not dry!" "Then said he, "It car.not be like my friend SmitL." THE late Rev. Daniel Isaac was both a great wag and a great smoker. "Ho! there you are," cried a lady, who surprised him one dav with a pipe in his mouth, "at your idol again." "Yes, madam," he coolly replied, "burning it." A handsome young bride was observed to be in deep reflection on her wedding day. One of ber bridesmaids asked her the sublcct of her meditation. "1 was thinking," she replied, "which of my old beaux I should marry if I should become a widow." A bear attacked a Texan farmer's cabin one night, when the farmer got into the loft, leav ing his wife and children to take care of themselves. The wife seized the poker and aimed a heavy blow at bruio. "Give it to him, Nancy!" exclaimed the valiant hus band. After bruin was dead, be came down from the loft, and said: "Nancy, my dear, aint we brave ?" Rerun os THE DOCTOR.—A village doctor went out to visit a patient in a neighboring hamlet, and look with him his gun, that he might wing any game he encountered on crossing the field. A farmer meeting him on the way, asked him whither he was going ? "To see a patient," was the answer. "What, then," said the farmer, "do you really fear to miss him in the ordinary way, that you take your gun with yon to make snre of him ?" A PHY3ICIA.N baring finished the amputa tion of the leg of one of his patients, a near relative of the latter called him aside, and said, anxiously, to him: "Doctor, do you think your patient will recover?" "Recover! there has never been the least shadow of hope for him." "Then what was the use of making him suffer?" "Why, my dear fellow you astonish me! Could you say brutally to a sick man, 'you are dying?' He must be amused a little." DIDX'T KXOW. —One day at Lake George, a party of gentlemen strolling among the beau tiful islands of the lake with rather bad luck, espied a little fellow with a red shirt and an old straw hat on dangling a line over the side of the boat. "Hello, boy," said one of them, "what are you doing?" "Fiahin*," came the answer. "Well, of course," said the gentleman, "but what do you catch ?'* Here the boy became indignant at so much questioning and replied: "Fish, you fool : what do you s'pose." Two Irishmen stopping at the Island House, Toledo, lit their gas, aod, with windows open, sat d<- wn to enjoy a chat. The hungriest of Toledo mosquitoes soon flocked in and drove them desperate. The clerk, who was sum moned to devise some defence against them, told them to close the windows and put out the gas. They acted on the suggestion and placed themselves between the sheets. Just as they began to doze, a lightening bug, which had strayed into the room, caught the eye of one of the travelers. He roused his compan ion with a punch.

Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any before so universally adopted into use, in every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more effectual remedy than any other. Those who have used it, know that it cured them: those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does once it docs al ways--thit it never fails through ary fault or neglect of its composition. We nave thousands upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures arc known in every neighborhood, and we need not publish them Adapted to all ages and con ditions in all climates; containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, they may bo taken with safety by anybody. Their sugarcouting preserves them ever fresh and makes fhem pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. They operate by thoir powerful influence oit the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, uch dcran gemcnts as are the first origin of dit>- sasc. Minute directions arc given in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which thcie Pills rapidly cure: For J ihf*pep*ia or Indigestion, Listleswncss, Lan guor and Loss of Appetite, they should be taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Lit er Complaint and its various symptoms, Bilious Headache, Sick Headache, Jaundice or Green Bilious Colic and Bilious Fcrer*, they should be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc tions which cause it For Dysentery or Diarrfue, but one mild dose is generally required. For Rheumatism, (rout, Gravel, Palpitation of the Henri, Pain in the Side, Back and Loin*, they should be continuously taken, as required, to change the diseased action of the system. With such change these complaints disappear. For Dropsy and Di-optical Swellings they should be taken iu large and frequent doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge. For Suppressions a large dose should bt taken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro mote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence itds often ad vantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. Dn. J. C.

The superior merits of the "Singer" Machines over all others, for either family use or manu facturing purposes, arc so well established and generally admitted, that an enumeration of their relative excellence is no longer considered nee essary. OCR NEW FAMILY MACHINE, which has been brought to perfection rcgardlest of time, labor or expense, is now confidently pre sented to the public as incomparably THE BEST SEWING MACHINE IN EX ISTENCE. The machine in question is SIMPLE, COMPACT, DURABLE A BEAU TIFUL It is quiet, light running, and capable of per forming a range and variety of work never be fore attempted upon a single machine, -using either silk, twist, linen or cotten thread, and sew ing with equal facility the very finest and coarse?' materials, and anything between the two extremes, in the most beautiful and substantial manner. Its attachments for Hemming, Braiding, Cording, Tucking, Quilting, Felling, Trimming, Binding, etc, are novel and practical, and have been in vented and adjusted especially for this machine. New designs of the unique, useful and popular folding tops and cabinet cases, peculiar to the machines manufactured by this Company, have been prepared for enclosing the new Machine. A faint idea however, ean at best be given through the medium -of a (necessarily) limited ad vertisement; and we therefore urge every person in quest of a Sewing Machine by all means to ex amine and test, if they can possibly do so, all the leading rival machines before making a purchase A selection can then bo made understandingly Branches or agencies for supplying the "Singer' Machines will be found in nearly every city and town throughout the civilized world, where machines will be cheerfully exhibited, and any information promptly furnished.
