Liverpool there are many pretty villages, quiet, unobtrusive places, with a charming rural aspect;nowliere else in the world to be seen lrut'in England. In such -chauninoretreats--the more charm ing because they derive some prosperity from their contiguity to the. great sea-port—there I is getierally.to be found a class of Persons,who, to limited agricultural purstits,unite the btr.si nessof a tradesman. Or this class was Mr. Lee, a worthy, and to use the familiar phrase, a "well-to-do man. He had married late in life, and at somewhat advanced age had. been left a_ widoWer with an only child, a traaghter, and, according to the unanimous testimony of the male portion of the cOrn munity arnongst whom the dwelt, tl.e 'pride of the village.' Annie Lee well deseried this title, for she was not only benutin person, but amisble in disposition:land, for a young girl in' her station of life exceedingly well educated. %Ze will.not specify tie particular village, but we 'will-attempt ,to . :describe 44weet Annie Lee. She tielonged to that class of-girls who in personal appearance are decidedly English. Of the middle height of her sex,she : possessed that poetic : indescribable grace which we ~.ss4ate with a f‘rm _whose modest pliancy and moderate fullness at once imprea us with the idea of a woman who has not very long passed but of the sparkling buoyancy, of spor . tire girlhood. Annie was twenty, and her deportment had acquired that tinge of seriousness natural to a girl of her years when .the enitivation of the mind has not be t o neg- • lected. Her face was extremely beautiful in outline, although some of the features were not classically regular. The rich lips when in repose were rather &telly closed, and the chin was a little_ too 'large for those critics who look for perfection in every feature. But the upper portion of Annie's face was unex— ceptionable. Her straight nose, with slightly ,curved nostrils, above which beamed the light lof dirk blue unfathomable ey e s, and. all ;crowned by a delicately - arched; white fore head, on each side - of which repotted thick bands of dark brown - hair, together with the blushing bloom . of maiden health on 'her ,cheeks, rendered the- et sembie of her loveli nm delightfully attractive. Annie, however, hid an inward Beauty, 'Which manifested it self in her daily life.' With the Most eiqui site tenderness there was linked a moral dourage—an elevated moral courage—a sense of duty to herself an a l . others rarely to be found in young women upon' whom natare.has _lav ished her favors, and who are, continually exposed to • the iucense of flattery and ad miration. •As might havefieen expected Annie Lee had. many lovers, but, there was one in the throng upon whom shebad long ago bestow ed her preference. He belonged to the same village as herself; and their pecuniary pros peas were about equal; with the difference; that Frank Harvey was already in possession of his patrimony,his parents being both dead. The young man rented On , a tong lease a small well-stocked farm,and had at command moral hundred -pounds in money; so that the.match apparently appeared a promising one. " • It was evening OD the market.day in Liver pool, and Annie was slowly returning - from the railway station about a mile from the sit lage. - She had gone therti to meet her lover on his retuuts_frowt - tnerket, but he had failed to ;mop his Appointment. Hu : horses and - cart passed- through the.'village in the afier noon, and he ought not to have been Many - bourn ifteriliens,' As she wondered at his non•appearande She was troubled end not a liUle.veaed, for it .was one-of the pleasure; of - -• • • their courtibtp this kte•ct Zete homewardaon fine market clays. , As sheiriawalking along, her pensiVe mood was disturbed by ats object beforeber. It was- a man reeling from one side of the road to ;theother. 'Annie recog nized ininire the village tailor, ashoeking drunkard, and a sensation of loathing she flew psukChim. As entered the Village she observed-his wife And three_ young dreit standing at the wicket gate of tWir humble eottage,evidently waiting for his cum - , ing.+..Wisat.i-consing 1 • Annie's heart. sunk asshe kindly belie the woman good night, and wheis she bed proceeded some distance she IcsOked- back and saw the pisorirife . itill looking for 'the cbming. l - , - Annie did not - sleep soundly that nieit. An anxious Iciretsding weighing upon tier new, tinsL when she did shunter At saw _in' her perturbed - dreams a pale, withered face at a_ wicket-gate, looking' down the road, through scalding,blinding tears, for some one coming. j In themorning Harvey called and found Annie in the shop serving some customem- r She returned his cheerful salutation with that reserve customary with young ladies when addressed by. their lovers in the presence of others• t but, when they were, alone, she re proached him • for hilt neglect on the previous evening. Harvey, with a slight blush, said he bad missed the train. "You must have missed' two," said Annie, quietly. "Only one; ip fact I was detained by busi teSS beyond my usual time," was the hurried reply. What broad shoulders that same 'business' must have to bear the enormous load 'that is placed upon them Annie looked her dissatisfaction as her fa ther emerged from the little parlor behind the shop,and,in-ii hearty English way,,invited Harvey inside. The old man loved to hear all he could about the market be had ceas ed to attend, and what was stirring in Liver- Harvey, for a man, was an excellent match for Annie in appearance. He was a tall,man ly, good-looking young fellow, of about four and-twenty, with a slight dash of rusticity in his manners, an - d --that rather enhanced his bonhommee. His features were regular and shone with rude, health, while his dark eyes and black curly hair caused many a pretty maid to Wish she had such a 'beau. ' Forgiveness for his first transgression was not difficult to*obtain ; -but, as the summer months wore on-it was so often repeated, that the once delightful meeting at the railway station was at length wholly, relinquished. I,That, coupled' with other matters of grave import to the tranquility of Ann ie's pure j bosom, .caused her to feel very angry with 1 Harvey, and she expostulated with him on I his conduct in warm and severe terms. In 1 truth, she had of late begun to observe him • very narrowly. He! was frequently in coherent in his language, very remiss in his -engagements even with herself, and some times absented himself from his farm for whole days and nights. Rumors also came to the' shop that he had been seen returning home- on horseback iu a very , unsafe condi tion; and that occsa'onally there were revel. ries at the farni until an advanced hour in !Abe morning. ' Filled With intense alarm —for Annie loved him with an entire devotedness—she strove by every *inning and persuasive way in her power to lead him back to his former self. • Instinctively she perceived the black,yaiyning. gulf to which he was rapidly hastening. Her heart leaped to keep him away from the hor skid brink. "Dear Frank," she would say,"you are not the same as you used to be: Your face is paler, and in the morning you are fluttered. You know•We women are quick ih detecting changes in those fur whom we have any re gard." 'lam rot changed," he would carelessly reply. "What makes you-think so ?'r Annie shook her head and intimated a good deal that made her think so. At length,irri tated beyond endurance, she openly accused him of being addicted to habits orintemper• ance. This brought the blush of shame to hia brow; but,instead of bringing contrition to his heart, he willfully misappretsiated her mo tives. "I am not tb be schooled before mar riage—time enough after," he said, with asperity. "Time enough,' certainly," replied Annie, calmly; "that is when you are married." This somewhat staggered the recklessyoung man, and be asked : "Is not our wedding day fixed for New Year's day next r' "It was," said Annie, "but I have altered , my mind and shall speak to'father about it." - Harvey had ,been drinking.that morning, and was not in a fit state to either reason or listen to reason, and, as usual with such men, he flew into n passion, and -charged Annie With loving another. • _ "I do not love another," said Annie, with , some scorn in her manner; "but I will never marry a drunkard!" • Ham/ regarded her with some amazement ' for a few moments, and then, bursting into a I coarse laugh, uttered some maudlin nonsense, I tried to take.ber hand„ but Annie firmly re pulsed him, and left him ,to his own unpleas ant meditat"..ll3. • "Pshaw!" be muttered. "She'll soon come "Besides, I only take a glass in modera• 'ads deluding himself be went on his way, daily becoming iess liable to resist th'e dread ful habit that was coiling around him in folds as strong as those of boa-constrictor. An nie prayed, entreated, held up to him exam ples, warnings; and findingzall of no avail, to her father's surprise,but not rezret,she caused tier marriage to be indefinitely postponed.— The.natatal purity of her nature revolted at the idea of marrying a man who hid so far forgotten'himielf. It must be admitted that the neverlo.be-forgotten pale face at • the wicket-gate, seen in the twilight, very much influenced her determination. "Hays you and Frank quarrelled I" in- quired bet-father. "No--that is, not mueb ; but be,keeps too misch•compauy, and I am afraid—" Annie did lot ctCutplete 'the . sentence. She 'still , loved tbesereing young man, and would, not degrade him in ber parent's eyes. for with all love's eloquence , pleaded for a reversal of the sentence; be promised complete'coriformity to.her wishes, even to taking - a pledge. • - Annie, although her heart besit c riolently, was unyielding ; all that she would grant was ar year's probation. . . "Why,, we may be all dead in that time!" he exclaimed: 1 4 13esideli, better lo sow my wild oats before marriiige, then after r • . _ • - Attie bai been .a great :readeriso she , in dig:neatly refilled : oats. indeed !

When she did;ehe was gratified and surprised at a visible improvement in his appearance, and this continued :throughout the ',infer, and, art if to assure her that the change was real, no more injurious• reports reached her ear: But this ameadment was only artificial, for Harvey, profiting by the evil counsels of his companions, pursued his career of dissi pation away from his native place. - This hypocrisy, however, only served to harden his nature and strengthen the awful habit into which he had fallen. hits°, by inspiring in him too much confidence in his power of en durance, brought about Lis exposure and punishment. - "I'M seasoned now, and defy even Annie to see there's anything the matter with me," he said, vain-gloriously, as one evening in June he called at Annie's father's house, and took his accustomed seat in the parlor: Annie observed with horror that he was very much intoxicated, and the memory of the pate face at the wicket-gate came over her - with sickening distinctness. Her: father, although short-sighted, noticed something strange in Harvey's - behavior, but bad the latter confined - himself to.ordinary topics the old man might not have known the cause. . As the fumes of the poisonous compounds he had swallowed to excess mounted to his brain, Harvey became excited, and presently all sense of discretion vanished in the vain desire to communicate what he considered good news. "Congratulate roe," he exclaimed-, with difficulty suppressing a hiccup, "congratulate me !—I stand a chance of making three thou sand pounds." "Glad to hoar it," said Mr. Lee. "Through kieceased relative, I sapprise "Deceased fiddlesticks!" exclaimed Harvey. "No. , Look you here I ,Annie and I are to be married next year, so I thought I'd risk a hundred' or two to make her a little mi?tre comfortable like, so I took Tom Higgin's ad vice, and laid 'em out on the next July cup. Sure to win—so Tom rays—and although I have lost to 'un, never venture, never win. So you see, Annie, I shall put three thousand pounds in your apron next month. What do you, think of that, sweetheart I" With this rhodomontade Harvey attempted to'draw nearer to. Ann'.e, but she retreated behind her father's chair, saying : "Frank, go home, pray do." Mr. Lee, now clearly perceiving the condi tion of his intended son io-law, seconded the request, but Harvey, like a man,blindly rush ing upon his ruin, took no heed of the inti mation, but began to talk about his bets end horse-racing, and other matters connected with the turf. Mr. Lee, at length, lost all pa tience, and authoratively bade him make the best of his way home. "Home ? why, this is as much my home as the farm, isn't it r 'shouted Harvey, with drunken levity. •"Never," exclaimed Mr. Lee, thoroughly) disgusted, "never shall it be a borne for a drunkard and a gambler.• Leave the room— leave the house ! I now see why my .vise, good Annie put off the wedding. Oh Frank, I did not think this of thee ! and right glad am I that thy father is not living to see it— it would have broken his heart. Leave the house, I say, thou degenerate, ungodly-son 'of a virtuous and godly father and [nigher." Stopified at these well-merited reproaches, Harvey looked from father to datighter re peatedly, but as be caught the sferu expres sion of the old man's eyes fixed upon him, a glimmering perception of his disgraceful state stole into his mind, and withoututteting an other- word be staggered from the room, out of the shop, into the street, where he mounted horse,and rode away in the direction of Liver pool. "My dear child,". said the old man, em bracing his daughter, as she threw herself sobbing on his breast, "my dear child, be composed. This is a great deliveraoce,though painful." After soothing Annie as well as he could by warm carressee and every endearing pa rentalepithet,he opened the family Bible and read a favorite chapter with him, when an noyed or,perplexed. Afterwards, he remain ed in a state of reflection for a few minutes, and then, as he phrased it, "his- mind was made up." There was a good deal of the stern old puritan spirit in his disposition (for remnanta of the old Cromwellian Inde• pendents, perfect in all their features, form, and costume, abound in the small towns and villages and-remote' districts of,Lancathire,) and when he bad determined on a course of action he was inflexible. "The match was broken off," but be would speak fatherly, and gently to his beautiful Annie. "Aohie;Annie,child of thy devout mother," be said,"never marry a drunkard. The habit is easily, frequently, innocently got, but hard to be got rid - of. Look at that miserable bodyolemmy Thompson . , wasting soul and substance in a pot-house, and •his wife and children starving at home ! (the good man said nothing about a certain weekly allowance of bread„&c.). 'And look, Annie, at our churchyard—how many drunkards, how early cue off, lie there. In a sterner, like a dead dog, lies William Jackson—a praise worthy man in 'same respects—but he was bad' to himself, and be died in a road-side ale-house. His Memory is jeered at by his surviving -reprobate companions; and those who kept themselves upright, speak of him harshly, and never give him credit for the real good that, was in him. Oh Annie, my dear, darling Annie, never marry. a drunkard —its a sin, a railing against "God's Provi dew." "Father, I never will,"replied Annie, firmly. "I have told Frank told so repeatedly. But, father, dear,l can't help feeling for him,be was once so diffeient. "The finest lad in the parisb,"said the old man. "I must see him and admonish him of the awful error of his ways." When be was alone, be muttered : "And so Flank has turned what they call a 'good fellow 'nor lad—poor lad.l I never . healthose words, but see looming in the ghastly distance either s ticirkbouse or a Anson." . The proposed match was now definitely broken . off, and Liars43Y's exceseis soon be came so wild that pie more'respectable it:hat/- hal:two!' the -locality began to shun W. com• patty. Aonieeprted herself to reclaim him. A true , women never despairs until' the grave has noosed over the-object of her affections.

His dissipation and gambling losses bad involved him in pecuniary whininess: runts unfortunately to a greater extent than was generally surmised. At length they met. It. was Suoday,and Annie was returning from a school at some distance from her home, in, which she occasionally ashisted as teacher. The part of the road was secluded, and they had often met there in the sunny days of their love. "Well, Frank !" said Annie, sorrowfully, as she regarded his changed appearance, his haggard feattires, sunken eyes, bud untidy apparel. Apparel. 'Forgive me, Annie !" he exclaimed. "I know I have done wrong; but one kind word from you, one of your sweet looks, will soon make all right again." "I have nothing to forgive," said Annie, tremulously,for his pleading tones had touch ed a cord that had never ceased to give forth music. "I have only' to lament that we are not the same' to each other, that we once were." "Why Fbould we not be so again ?" asked "Ask yourself and judge," she replied. Misinterpreting her subdued,almost tender tone and :manner,he began passionately toem treat fora renewal of their engagement. An nie, though her heart beat violently as old memories swelit through her brain, was firm in her refusal. She had disciplined herself I into the conviction that he bad no right t 9 demand any sacrifices on her'part. He was the transgressor, and from him alone must come the atonement. Would that all girls, similarly placed, would think as Annie did ! "You fore me no longer !" exclaimed Har vey, bitterly. du not lore the spectre of Frank Ilar vey," abe replied, "Return to your former self, and you will find Annie Lee still Annie Lee." Imagining she referred to his loss of prop erty, he said, with a sneer, "I see bow it is— you have heard of my misfortunes,and we are not•equsil now. I am . ..poor. You scam me because 1 am pour." "Poor !" rejoined Ann'e, warmly. "You are only poor.in character. Money of itself does not make or confer worth. If you had not 'a penny in your pocket, and were the Frank Harvey of othertimes, r would gladly give you my hand. and -my father would as ..ladly consent. Oh, Frank; Frank, whether you have beer! led astray by yoi.ir own evil promptibgs, or fallen before tenwtation,•there is time to relent, time to change,time to turn back to yobr formeeself, acd; I will say, time to come and see Annie Lee as you did in the bright days before you . fell away from me, from yourself—and, oh ! Frank, think . of it— from vour Maker !" And so they pa-rted, without another word; Harvey a prey to remorse, for, as he watched her receding figure, the sound of -Sabbath bells fell on his ear, and as they awoke the past, they distufbed his stagnant and putrid present,, and he wept. But the day °this deliverance was not yet at band. Depravities that stop short of edam punishable by the laws are only corrected by the severest chastisement and a !borough cleansing of the moral being. Self degradation will drive a man or wo man to the most desprate extremities. In some'stages of their disorder they are unable, if willing, to beat up against the wind of their difficulties. _Like dismasted ships they drift helplessly on the lee-shore 'of ruin. It was so with - Harvey. He was overtaken by adversities, and could not bear up against them, although he still bad the means. The spirit of the gambler ., and tipler possessed him, and his property wasted away like snow in the sun. In himself hopelessly degenerate, he hitd no hopeln the future, and became reckless. Long after he had ceased to hold any communicationwith Annie, or her father, a glimmering of ,his actual position flashed across his mind, and he vowed a reformation;- but it is only a terrible shock that can rouse such beings to a sense of their danger and duty. It came with electric force. As he was proceedinghotneward late one night; and was passing the cottage of a miserable tailor, 'be was arrested by the piercing shrieks of a woman and the cries of children—cries that never appeal vainly to a man's heart. by an impulse which he never afterwaids accounted for, seeing the door open, he entered and be htl d a spectacle that curdled his very blood. On the the floor lay the tailor dead-=in a fit of drunken passion he bad burst a blood vessel and gone to his dreadful account. Isis three children were cuing by his side, and on some tap in the corner lay, hiawife pros trate, dying in the last stage of consumption. The crimson , and black clouds through which' had looked at the world for many a daY vanished—his foimer self started up, like a bright angel, and be applied hint: self vigorously to'the exigencies of the Oise. He aroused the neighbors, procured the at tendance of a medical' man, and bestowed upon the afflicted family all the money he bad about him. "Annie will not let them starve," he men-, tally observed R 4 'he proceeded, to the farm ,sad and thoughtful. He found an execution on-the premises.' Ile was ruined, and knew, it, but- did not lenient or bewail his misfor tune. On _ the contrary be went to bed and slept soundly. The catastrophe he bad witnessed lied ets'mpletely revolutionized his, morbid nature. In the course of the week' he arraeged his affairs, patd i hie creditora a id full, and, after giving up poseession of the farm to the'landlord, found himseltwortb: - fifty pounds. , With that in his poZket he dis appeared.frOnt the neighborhood, and was never seen in it again.; He bade adieu to none,' not even to Anittie d ,fof *be was ashimed`or himself. ' Ile did pause at a bend in the road , that commanded n view of her borne, and - breathed *prayer for bee- welfare and bappi oess. It was the sweetest; Wiest prayer be bad uttered since he had knelt at his mother's feet, , Dia disappearance' did not create mattb astonishment in the vintage, but to Annie Lit was a source of deep, heart-breaking grief. Despite her keit judenent,'she had hoped— woman, ever does, even in the a v irest 'MOM —wott now that. be Was gone, without a word or token, the little flower that . bad bitbertri bloomed amid the winter of her disappoint aunt, hung sictreftil and withered away. Site herself drooped and the roses fled from her cheeks, and she took alltelanc.holy pleasure 1 / 4 in visiting . the spots where, side b ,side, she and Haney had passed some oft • delicious &piing hoofs of their young. liveP • During one of these :rambles she came to a retired place some distance froth the villitge where they bad often met to talk:of the future, and indulge.in the poetry of courtship. It was the margin of a brook, beside which stood an aged -oak, in a certain hollow of which they used to deposit their messages and little love-tokens. Annie gazed upon it with mel ancholy interest, and almost instiOttively put her hand into the cleft. Vembling she drew forth a letter, which she perused with a flut ter of delight mingled with tearful sorrow. . It ran thus : ~. "DEAREST ANRIE:--Grieve not forme. lam inworthy of you. I go - away to render myself worthy of the past as regards your sweet self, not with any views to the future. Ilow totild II -My daily prayer shall be for your happiness, and whether you wed another or not, I shall be faith ful.

I know note what you meant by,the `pale face at the wicket gate.'" Wet and soiled as this missive was, Annie °laced it, in her bosom as she mentally mid, I shall see Frank Harvey agriin." The orphan children were provided for. Annie undertook the. charge of the eldest, a girl, and the other two were placed by the influential ladies of the neighborhood, in a school where they could be reared and edu cated until able to go forth-into the world. Two years elapsed, during which •Annie became thin, and very stiticrin her demeanor, repulsing all suitors at once and dech.ively ; still she was not unhappy, for the little flower had again raised its head, and diffused a fra grance throughout her soul. One day a let ter arrived—it was direetwao herself. When she bad read it, she, with a heightened color and brighter eye, blinded it to her father. The old man perused it with visible satisfac tion, and to conceal some emotion, or proba bly to correct what he .deemed a weakness, he opened the old family Bible, and while engaged over-the sacred volume, Annie was in her chamber on. her knees, with her face buried in the snow white coverlid of her bed. After this letters came more frequently, and at last regular once a. week, and it was no ticeable that with each arrival 'the-bloom on Annie:s cheek increased, her step became firmer, and her voice more cheerful. She was even occasionally heard to hum snatches of old ballads. Mr. Lee, to the surprise of the whole village, undertook a long journey, and was away several weeks. The surprise deepen ed into astonishment when, upon his return, he announced his intention of disposing of his property, and retiring for the remainder of his days to another part of,England. His arrangements were speedily.completed, and father and,daughter departed amid the tears of many. _ As the reader has anticipated, they had gone to share in and augment the renovated ,fortunes of Harvey, who, to use-the old man's to Ise expro.si_on, had "regenerated .himself." Having offered his services to a distant min i Live in Yorkshire, they had been aCeeptea, and his knowledge of modern farming having proved so really excellent, in the course of a few years, with his savings and influential re commendations, he.. found little difficulty in obtaining a farm for himself. In fact his cultivated intelligence in all matttrs relating to what is termed high farming, bad procur ed for him the substantial favor of one of the . most popular noblemen 'and laud owners in England.., So situated, he , did not scruple on 13 ( more to offer his hand to Arinie, and it ias accepted, her father volunteering a liberal advance of money. l i We must pass over a few yeias, and intro duce our readers to the last scene in this little domestic drama witch fell under ouriotiee. Let them imagine a tolerable-sized residence, with a flower garden before it, fronting a good road and flanked by orchards. In the rear there are kitchen-gardenssand beyond them a large farmyard, surrohisded on three sides by buildings, and in the ‘, diStance flelds stretching far and side.

Every one.that has ever paid any attention to the Stein hasnotined his_natural incline:, lion to smell everythiug which to him looks opw and frightful. This is his strange mode , of examining everything. „And,. wheh he i§ frightened at , anythibg, tholfgh he looks at it sharply, he seems to have no confidence in this optical examination alone, but. must tetra it with thonose before be is entirely satisfied; and, as soon as this is done alt is right. We might very naturally . suppose, froth the fact of the horse's applying his nose to everything new to him, that he always does so for the purpose of smelling these objects. But 1 believe that it is 'as much and more for the Purpose,of feeling, and that he makes use of his nose, or muzzle (as it is sometimes called,) as we would of our hands, because it is the only organ by which be can touch or feel anything with such susceptibility. We know from expetience, that i 1 a horse sees and smells a robe a short distauce from him, he is very much frightened (unless he is used to it) until he , ouches or feels it, with his nose; which is a positive proof that feel ing is the controlling sense in this case. It is a prevailing opinion among Iso•ssmen general a that the sense of smell is the goy erniense of ,the horse. And . Faucher, as well as others, has with that view, got up re ceipts of strong smelling s oils &e., to tame the horse, sometime using the chestnut of his legs, whiCh they dry, grind - into powder, and blow into his Costrils, sometimes using the oils of rhodium, organum, &v., that are noted for their strong smell; and sometimes they scent the hand with tffe dsvi , at from un der the arm, or blow their breath into his ncstrils,'&c., &c., all of which, as far as the scent goes,have no effect whatever Cif gatling the horse or conveying any ided to his mind ; though the acts that accompany these efforts —handling him, torching him about the nose and head, and pat ti ng him, as they direct you should, after administering'the articles, may bavis a very great effect of Abe ingredients used. Now, reader, can yen or any one else, give one single reason how scent can convey any idea to the horse% mind ofWhat we want him to do I If not, then of course strong scents are of no avail in taming the unbroken horse, - In order to obtain perfect obedience from any horse, we must first hate him fear es, for our motto is, fear, love, and 'otter ; • and we must have the fultilnient of the two first be- fore we can expect' the latter for it ig lic our philosophy of creating fear; love and Con fidence that we govern to our will every kind of hone whatever. 1 shoulit not want, for myself, more than. half' or tlkee quarters of an hour handle ant, colt and have butt running, about in the stable after me slough I would advise a Dew beginner,to take more time, and not be itr„too much of a hurry.— When you have entered - the stable stand still, and let ytidt,horse fork at you for a minute or two, and as, soon as he\is settled in elle plece,"ripprogeh lam slcrwty ' with year arms stationify,•your right hand hinging ti yein'r side, bolding the why o ft's directed, and the left bent et the elbow, with the hand project ing,. as you approach him, go not too near his head or croup, so as not to make him mum backward or forthird, thus keeping this horse stationary; if he does, not move either fiirward or Inckward;step a hide to - the right or left, very cautiously ; this Will keep him in oneplace.
