neighborhood of a Methodist church, and as it
was the " timo in course" for preaching ut that

HOW TO IIREAK A HORSE TO HARNESS.
Take a harness and go through the same pro- nerve will end in defeat, and a lack of pcrsover
coss that yon did with the saddle, until ho is fa-; tice will cause total failure. A borso must bo
miliar with it, and that you -can put it on him, ! approached with care; a biting animal must be
and rattle it about without alarming him. This carefully gagged, a kicking one well strapped and
accomplished, put on the lines, caress hi in as you secured, and the tamer must be calm, for his
draw them on him, and drive him about till be j work is not without danger. Among a few ama-
will bear them over his bins. As soon, as the
animal is familiar with the harness and lines,
lead him to and round a light gig, let him slund
by it, look at it, and touch it with hid nose; then
pull the shafts a little to the left, and stand your
horse in front of the off wheel. I'lace some one
on the riirbt side of the borso, and hold hi in by
the bit while yott stand on the left side, facing
the gig. Run your left hand back, and let it
rest on his hip, and lay hold of the shafts with
your right, bringing them up gently to the left
hand, which remuins stationary, lie careful not
to let anything but your arms touch him, und aa
soon as you have the shafts square over him, let
the ono on the opposite side take hold of one of
tho:u, and lower them gently to the shaft-bearers.
When the thafts are -placed shake them careful
ly that tho animal may feel them against each
i side. As soon as ho will bear them without
alarm, fat
'astcn your traces, &c., nnd start him
along very slowly. Let one man leal the horse,
to keep him ucntle, while the other gradually
works back with the lines till he civil get behind
and drive. If the horse shows any disposition to
kick, strap up the off fore leg the first time you
drive him. We will now ofTer a few remarks ou

A horse gcncriiily Laulks in harness frcm mis
management, excitement or confusion. JV' irr
in u -h cise line the whip. Rub and caress him,
bo calm yourself, and you will keep down the ex
citement of the horse. If you' wish to start a
horae that bus been baulkcJ, whipped oi Ladly
used, approach him gently, hang the lines on the
names,' unloose the check reins, and let the ani
mal stand a few minutes in this condition, until

him gently to the right without letting him pull j
born, your only alternative is to call your patieuce
into exercise. Strap up one of his fore legs, and
let In in stay in this position for two hours; this :
will not fail to subdue tho animal. Having
omitted it under its proper bead, wo will here
rouiark, that fur conquering a biting horse, there
is nothing equal to a large wooden gag bit. A ;
muzzle provents a horse from biting a jraj; cures"
him; for when ho finds that he cannot bite, and ;
that you caress him und rub his cqrs kindly with ;

Our tak is finished ; we fuel that it has been
very imperfectly .performed, and that we need the
kind indulgence of the reader. In conclusion
wo must iinprcs upon those who undertake borso
taming that success cannot b attained without
rcaltuuess, patience and firmness. A want of
teur operators of mv acnuuintnnen. one re
cently put low dit lombat by a lick, hich dis

There is iiounalogy between the frame of a houso
and tho frame of a man. A broken beam in tho
former may be rent wod, but a heavy kick on the
Aciiiii ni,l of tho latter is past remedy. Good,
though trite, is the oxiom, " Kvery man to bis

Washington, August L, 1S50.
Mr llKAR-Sin : You j0 me no more than
justieo in your kind letter, for which accept my
thanks, in assuming that I do not concur with
the Administration in their views respecting the
rights of nnturali.pd citizens, as defined in tho
"Lo Clerc letter," which, it is proper to ob
serve, have been since materially modified.
Under our Constitution thero can be no just
dii-tinction between the right of native-born and
naturalized citizens to claim the protection of our
Government, at home and abroad. Unless natu
ralisation releases the person naturalized from all
obligations 'which he owed to his native country,
by virtue of his allcgianec, it leaves him in the
sad prcdicauTent ot owing allegiance to two coun
tries, without receiving protection from cither
