TAltTAlS llOKSES.
The Tartars begin to exercise
their iiifluencc over their horses
when they are but eight months
old ; they make them carry thei'r
children on their backs, and thus
they are trained by degrees, till
about six years old, when they
become peife'ctly amenable and
equal to tlie greatest hardships.
Niebuhr and other travelers tell
us that the Arabian horSes are di
vided, into tivo great branches,
the Kadisclie and Koclddnv; the
descent of tlie former is not
knowh; but there 1ms been a writ
ten geneology kept of the latter
for upwards of two thousand
years; the-y are kept solely forr‘-
ding, and are in such high esti
mation that they can only be ob
tained at an enormous cost.—
Their origin is said to be derived
from King Solomon’s stud. They
are capable of sustaining the
the greatest fatigue, and can
even pass whole days without
food; the}' are siiid to be undaun
ted in courage against an enemy,
and it is told of the noble and
faithful creature, that; when
wounded and unable to bear his
rider any longer, he retires from
the figiit and takes him to a place
of safety—and sliould his niaster
fall to the ground, he never quits
his side till he has attracted some

MAELEABIIATY OF «OLD'.
BE FKAKK.
Never deceive for the Sake of a
foolish jest, or to excite the laugh
ter of a few co'mpanionS at the
expense of a friend. Be anxious
when 3'ou relate anything to tell
it just as it occurred. Never vary
in the least degree. The reasc n
why our fears are So often saluted
by false reports is because people
in telling real things add a little
to them, and as they pass through
a dozen mouths the original sto
ries are turned into something en
tirely different. So when v'on at
tempt to tell anything that you
have seen with your own Syes;
relate it correctly in every par
ticular, and as you grow older
Jrou will reap the advantages of
this course.

A MOIVSTEK SNAKE.
Mr. A. Outerbl-i'dge, Jr., of the
Philadelpliia A.ssay Office, has re-
centl}' given an example of tlie in
finite divisibility of matter by ex
hibiting before the Fraliklin In
stitute some thin films of gold ob
tained by electric deposition up
on copper and afterward detach
ed. These pieces of gold leaf
were transparent, and gave a
green color to transmitted light,
Mr. Outerbridge has thus pro
duced films of gold so thin that
one grain of the metal would .eov
er nearly four square feet. This
is 10,000 times thinner than or
dinary Writing paper, and 2,798,
000 of such films together xvould

and killed he was in the act of swal-_
