His mother saw the train stop, and a fearful foreboding flashed upon her at onie. She came rushing frantically to the' spot where we stood. Never shall I forget the look she gave me as she saw her first-born a shapeless mass.

"No," 1 replied, " but I think it nbble; and, sir, would to God every mau had a heart as large as yours." . I have often thought since how few are those who give one passing thought to the msn of strong nerve and a stout arm who guides them through darkness and storms, with the speed of wind, safely to their journey's end. , They do not, for a moment, turn their attention to the iron monster that is dragging them forward, with '"vi They do not reali.e that the man who guides the fiery monster holds all their precious lives at his command, andlhat the least negligence upon his part would cause sorrow and mourning in a muuaauu moi .c UUw -watuug o iouiu of the absent loved ones.'

If not strictly the original discoverer, to him we owe and to him we trace the present nseful improved system, As it is the case in every popular and useful a itco very, imitators .nave stepped lorta andisnys: claimed shire of the honors, and innovators are scattered in every direction, seeking to de prive Rarcy of his well earned and justly merited laurels, feuch attempts must faiL . ' n e claim nothing original for the pjpers we 1 from an Indian " buaeo," (buryiog-plaoe,) near give on horse.taniiog. JCarcy is our guide, and , David, in this State, and brought here ' for salo we give his instructions almost verbatim. The ; by Mr. Manuel Fernanda. It is currently re pamphlet published by him for tho use of his i ported that the company whoere engaged in this pupils in this country, was unscrupulously pirated j .speculation have taken Out some eighty thousand in Kngland, and we apply the law of retaliation, dollars worth from thissuine " huaco." and make free use of the Iondon edition; - We Among the lot we saw some curiously wrought have suppresed a few technical terms, curtailed aligators, similar to those found in the Indian when we could do so without lessening the value burying-placcs of Peru and Mexico. At what of the instructions, and methodically arranged the whole.- - He cluiut nothing more, and with this acknowledgment wo think it unnecessary to use marks of quotation. " If I were to be asked what were the two niosttcautiful objects iu nature," ys .Mason, " I would answer, that woman, lovely woman. before whose charms the soul of man bows with reverence and submission, stands unparalleled ; next to this matchless, paragon, a beautiful hoise displays nature in her highest polish and greatest perfection. His gay and cheerful appearance, proudly prancing and bounding ; h'w elegance of shape, smoothness of limbs, polish of skin, due proportion of form, and gracefulness of action, raise him far above the rest of the brute crea tion." Such being the fact, let us add to the value of the horse by learning how to make bim mild, soft, faithful and obedient. We will now lay before the reader a complete account of the system, its principles and iu me thods. . The method practiced by the South American. Pampas horsemen in taming horses is this : They lasso the animal, then cover 'bis head with a poncho (cloak,) girth a heavy saddle on b(in, thrust a curb bit, capable of breaking the jaw with one tug, in the horses mouth, mount him with a pair of spurs with rowels six inches long, and ride him until he falls exhausted in a fainting state. Horses thus tamed are vicious and stupid. Violence, such as we have just described must not be used in horse-taming. Tho corner-stone of the theory is the hw of kindliest. He who undertakes to tame hoiscs must possess patience, perseverance and courage. Ho must remember that the horse receives instruction in and by the use of three of his sense", namely: . .I. . ..... i .i . i seeing, smelling anu reeling, anu mat ne must tee, im 11 and fed all that he wears and bears. PLACE AND I'BaTARATIONU TOB. TJIAI.MXc; A HOUSE.. The best place is a space boarded off with par titions b'ix or seven feet high, and on the floor a deep layer, of tan or sawdust, on which a . thick layer of straw must be spread, but the floor must , not be too toft; if it is the horse will sink on his , kneea without fiirhtimr. and without the lesson of exhaustion, which is so important. Other horses, I cattle, pigs, and even dogs moving about or j mak nc a noise wi spoil the ctlect or a good les- j ton. It is useless to aueinpi to sudquc a who . horse while a party of lookers-on are chatting and 1 laushine. Silence must be obsen ed. j MANNER Or API-ROACHING A HORSE.

Wc have been favored with the perusal of two letters lately re ceived in thi city, from David, from most highly respectable and reliable parties, giving somo par ticulars of the gold discoveries in the Indian graves. One of them, which wc translatc,says : " The principal event here is the discovery of groat riches in the sepulchres of the original in habitants of Chiniui. At present ovor a thou sand persons are working in the district of Ho qucron, at tho places called Mnmudo and Ilugal- i ita, in opening the' huacos' (Indian craves there: , and it is calculated that at least nine arrobas ; (22."i pounds) ofafioe gold, of the best lei aud of tunibag have been extracted. "Thero is a tradition that in former times a Spanish ship, obliged to put into one of our ' ports from stress of weather for repairs, brousht off a box of earth from the shore for the galley fire place, and that on arrival at lioyie, on re moving the box, a thin cake of gold was discov ered at the bottom of it. The circumstance gave ; rise to a large emigration to the district, and tho city of La Kstrclla was founded where the richest mines between Cana and San Martin were for many years worked, but the depredations of the the filibusters and the hostility of the Indians . compelled the inhabitants to abandon the spot, and they retired to Costa Kica, where tncy founded the city of Cartago.
