V j v , i ., . r April 24, 1834, Dear Sir As it layouir request, f will row endeavor to saVsomething abut the treatment of. a horse upon a journey, tho' Iasire you, that you have tiavelleu much more than 1 have. 1 will, however, sav howt would treat my naes. It is of great importance that the horse be in good condition befbre the journey commences not very fat : he should eat nothing but the most solid food tor some timel before vou Mart, noihinst l'ffht or ffriieni for nine out ol ten will founder it fe(J Q.n green foot!. Early in-; thmorning Vtveia lew swallow1 of water : for some htrses will not eat without, particularly if lei erish at night. Give three quarts of corn soon alter the water ; he should not be limited in fodder, but let him have it before him from the time he is put up a night till you start. ; Give hi ma s much water as he will drink before you start. travel verv slow tor the nrst nour, ior iriariy horses' are foundered from the body Lecpming, suddenly .fcot when full of cold vatjer When it is hot Give about a gallon of water frequently, tor by giving a snia cuantity often, the stomach is kept more cool, and there is less danger. Twice or three times during the day, put abut a pinjt of corn meal and a little sa't into the waier and stir it well. Whenever you water op the roadrmove offthe horse tm tftMiatety ; to stand still after drinking is vefy wrong. When you stop lor any time, say an hour or.So, do not water until vdu are going uff. I never give corn during the day three or tour quarts'of oats may be! given, and foddelr or hay, for the quan tify he wilt eat will not injure him. In lidt dusty weather it is very gratifying to this horse to wash or wipe the face, and tlife inside of the nostrils with a sponge aiM cold water, and if you add a little Vppgar, it is better ;--do this at the tjme of; and before watering. When you stop for the night let the horse go into a lot to w,allow and walk about for half an hour, tlsen let a few bundles of fodder or hay be -given him while fie is rubbed, curried and brushed, and afterwards as plentifully as can be given. When cool have his legs washed with soap and cold water, and the . fpet picked out, and then let him have his Sill of water, but without .salt.? Be care ful that the horse always eats some fodder fcfore he gets his corn : give a strong large torse eight quarts of com at night, or as fnany ears as are equal to it it is better )io leed on the ear than to shell it, as the jborse eats not so fast, and will perhaps leat lessvlf the corn is new, give but half jthe quantity j ; always give oats in the imorning if to , be got, six quarts will not injure a horse." If the horse gets galled, .wash the yarts with strong whiskey and water. If your horse becomes dull and heavy on the journey, or loses his appe Uitet tie a lump of gum assafcetida on his bit, covered or wrapped in a strong rag. j This may be continued for the whoiejour I ney, and I believe prevents his taking any ; distemper if put with sick horses, or in stables where they have been : it also is j a preventative of founder. Horses some 1 times get lame qh the road without any ; apparent cause. It is generally from be -j ing improperly shod. There are such va i rious notions as to the treatment of a horse ' when foundered, that it is difficult to know I, what to sayon the subject. I would bleed I areety from the .neck give a pint of whis i key (with a little warm water and molas ses,) with a lump of alum about the size of ! a nutmeg dissolved in it. and urffe the horse on his journey. ' I have now,, my good sir, said what I would do with my horse on the road, and tfany part of it is worth your considerati on, you are welcome to it. Hoping that yu wilfexcuse great hurry and blunders, and with' my best wishes for your Having a safe and pleasant time of it & u j 1 remain, jouyg with regard. If' INDIXSTRT. 3,The: late Rev John HeckeWelder, of it. Bethlehem, was a-worthy missionary to ine Indians oi rennsyivania, anrinstortvH Yfare., ne. ijuuiisucu a jiisiory oi xneir Manners and Customs, from which Uhe following anecdote is extracted : ' v Seat in s mvself once upon a log by' the side of an T; dianfwho was Testinchimself Tnereueino at mat time actively employ ed in fcncinffln his cornfield; j observed to him that he must be very fond of work ing, as I neyec: saw him idling away his i me, as is so common; with the Indians. The answer he returned made a very great impression on ray.mina. i nave; remem bered if ever since, and 1 shall try to re- ate it as nearly in his own words as pos- ible. My friend, " said he, , ",'the fishes yn the water a,nd the birds in th&air, and n he earth, have tausrht me tti work. By their example I have peen convinced of the. necessity or labor and uirtustry. When I was a young wan I miter ed, about a good deal, doing nothing, just like the other Indians, who say, that " working fs for whites and negroes, and, the Indians have been ordained for othr purposes to hunt the deer, and catch the beaver, otter, ra coon, and such other animals; nut it one day so jhappenetl, that while hunting, I came to the bank ot tne feusquenanna, ana having sat myself down near the water's pdge to rest a little and, casting my eye on the water, I was lorcibly struck when I observed with what industry the sun fish heaned small stones together, to make secure places for their spawn : and all this labor they did with their mouth and body, without hands ! Astonished, as well as diverted, lighted, my pipe, sat a while smoking and looking on, when presently , a lime oira not far from me raised a song, which en ticed me to look that way. While I was trying to distinguish where , the songster was, and catch it with my eyes, its mate, with as much grass as it could hold in its bill, passed close by me, and flew into a bush, where I -perceived them together, busily employed in, building their nest, and singing as their work went on, I saw the birds in the air and fishes in the wa ter working diligently and cheerfully, and all this without hands. I thought it-was stranffe. and Lbecame lost in wonder' I looked at mys(f, and saw two long armj, provided with hands and fingers and with joints that might be opened and shut at plea-ure. I could, when I pleased, take up any thing with these hands, hold it fast, or let it loose, and cany it along with me. When I walked, I observed, moreover, that I had a stout body, capable of bear ing fatigue, and supported by two stout legs, with which I could climb to the top of the highest mountains, and descend at pleasure into the vallie-u ; And is it possible, said I, that a being so wonderfully formed as I am, was creT ated to live in idleness i while the birds which have no fhands, and nothing , but their little bills to help them, work with cheerfulness, and without being told to do so ? Has then the great Creator of Man, and ol all living creatures, given all these limbs for no purpose ? It cannot be. I will try to go to work.; I did so, and went away from the village jto a spot of good land, where I built a cabin, en closed ground, sowed corn, and raised cattle,. Ever since that time I jhave en joyed a good appetite and sound sleep while the others spend their nights in dancing, and suffering with hunger, I live in plenty. I keep horses, cows and fowls, I am happy. See, mv friend ;the birds and fishes have brought me to reflection, and taught me to work !" . TOOTH DRAWING. p The following ludicrous account of a Student's first attempt at Tooth -drawing, is an extract from a forth-comfngjMalume entitled The life and advehtur M)v Dodimus Duckworth,IA. N. Q J-fnich is added the history of a Steam iToctor," by Dr.rGreen, the author of a" Yankee armong the Nullifiers: , Dotlimus, after seeing sundry exhibi tions of his master's skill, began to be ve ry anxious to try his own hand at a cast of practice. An opportunity was not long waiting ; ifor one morning, as he was ex ercising the pestle in his master's absence, and longing for a chance of attempting something by his own ability a man en tered the shop with a 'handkerchief rodnd his jaws, and with a countenance more rueful than if he had lost all his relations. Is the Doctor at home ?'f said he. No sir." ' ; Where is her" I He's gone over to Crincumpaw." "To Crincum dev! I came within an inch of swearing, v" soon will he be back?" f V i Why, I sposl J course of two or three hours, if yoCr-wf ait; so long." ' Two or three ages you might as well say jjl can't fwait a minute. 'f Who's lick?" There ant nobody; sick. But l?m mad as I can live I've go t the jumping AW tooth ache and I want the Doctor to pull j . ! can do that myself,?' said the Stu- dent, beginning la take gtlie instrument from a.nlr'awer, . ." ktYou' said the man eyeing him sus- piciousl-vT " did you Iyer null a tooth,?" Did I! I wonder if I haint now?" resumed the Student, in such a tone.. as to carrv with it a conviction to the mmdJ " of the hearer, that hk Was expert in the business. Then desirinff him to take a seat, he began to examine the offending tooth. - ' Do you see it," said the patient. "I wonder if I don't," said Dody. "Ohhow it jumps!" said the patient, at the same time springing on his feet and raving round the room like ar bedlamite ; I believe in my soul. it'll jump but of my head." ! ' Shut your mouth then," said the Stu dent, ldo, and keep it in, till I can get ready to pull it." Heseatedl the man once more .and desiring him to extend his jawsnas wide.as he could, he introduced a horse fleam by way of gum-lancet, and began to cut round the tooth. What are you about there ?" roared the patient, as well as he could articulate with the fiVam in his mouth. I'm cutting the goom," replied the S'udent. :' - You've got the wrong tooth," roared the ir.an ; and seizing the hand of the operator, he wrenched it violently away ; when springing up and spitting out the blood, he exclaimed You've cut my tongue half offl" ' Why didrj't you keep your head still then ?" said'Dody. "Still! you blundering toad you ; and let vou pull the wrong tooth ? The one I wish to have cjrawn is on the other side of my mouth, and in the upper jaw in stead of the under one." . Very well, how should you know which one I was cutting? you couldn't see it, and 1 could." " Yes, but I could feeVit though." "Feeling is nothing at all to be; com pared to seeing," said the very scientific Student. UI could see what I was about, while vou was only feeling."-; "Well, one thing I know," persisted the man, " you've got the wrong tooth." " Very well," returned Pody, "just as you say. I'll pull any tooth you likej I ant at all particular about that." The patient was presently seated once i ' t t : more, ana opening wioe nis;iaw uesig nated with his finger the particular tooth he wished to be extracted. 1 "I see it," said the Student, begin ning again to flourish his horse fleam ; I II get the. right one now, it there s any right to it. 7 lnen cutting ireeiy rounu the tooth he took the extracting instru ment and began to make a demonstration of applying it when the patient charged him anew to be sure and get ' the right tooth. " Don't put yourself in a pucker," re plied the youth ; don't you think I've pull ed a tooth before to-day?" Then ap p'ying the instrument, he began to twist, but presently resting on his oars, he ask ed if it hurt. "Out with it!" said the man, angrily stammering with the instrument in his month. "Very well, sir," said Dody, and be gan to twist once more ; but stopping a gain,-vvhile the patient writhed with pain, he enquired a second time with singular humanity, if it didn't hurt. When the patient, ungrateful for al his attention to his feelings, instead o reolving civilly, drew his fist and taking the operator on the side of the head, very nearly knocked him down. then imitat ing the language of the Student, he asked in turn, "does that hurt?" Dody now raised his fist, and was abou t making a rejoinr in similar terms, but suddenly recollecting himself, he forbore to strike, saying it was his business to cure and not to kill ; and that if the pa tient would allow him to apply the instru ment once more, the tooth should come out pretty darn quick. The patient acquiesced ; but swore if he stopped again to ask whether it hurt, he would break his good-for-nothing num skull for him. ; " I meant it all in a civil way," return ed the Student, "and had no i lea you'd be affronted about it. But I'll do the job to your liking now; I'll make the tooth hop like a parched pea, it l tionr, then darn me! With that he applied the instrument, and giving it a sudden and forcible wrench, out came two teeth. There," said he, was'nt that done slick?" "Jli: you nave uuiiru hit iichu you nave p exclaimed the man. SDringing upon his feet, applying his iaw, groan in roaring and raving like a mad bull, which had iust shaken a mastiff from his nose. " Well, 7twas done piagy suck, was nt it," said Dody, "for the first one ?" thus in his exultation, betraying the ig norance which he had before had the cun ning tocohceal ffhe first one," roared the man, with mingled rage and astonishmen) ; "didn't you just now tell me you iad pulled ma ny a one?" ' I wonder if J did !'f returned he 1 prudent youth you dgftP said m patient; Th en looking af the spoils it'll fs- mouth?'. which his pain Rlid'preyfent his examm ing before, he broke out wp new rage.

SERIOUS READING. fi - SELF EXAMINATION. , ,-' - i " Tigreatly. wise to talk with our past hours Theit answers form what men experience call." Bui not more wise than difficult. The habitof strictly scrutinizing, or analyzing our tyjotives, and searching through the windings of theheart, is one that finds no countenance from our love of self flat tery Uud ease. If conscience is honest, and -fn an hour of calm reflection, it en deavors at least to be so, there is much to appa'j the best, in reviewing themselves. Whn we behold the crowd of passions, the poisoning leaven of selfishness which spreids its taint througliout when we reco lect time misusea, taienis wasiea, opportunities neglected, or duties bmit ted,v when 'we contemplate the evil we havdone, outweighing so far the scanty measure of good, it fs not surprising that weirink back with dismay, and, shaking ; off ssuch irksome thoughts, Relinquish the taslj in disgust. Was the moralist too se ver when he said, . "Heaven's Sovereign saves all beindfs but him self Thscj hideous sight a naked human heart." If, bvhen veiled by partiality, gilded over by rhe: excusings of selt-lave, we avert ourv; sight so pertinaciously from the sur. ve of our seeret character, with what e mijfeions would a full unbiassed view of evry latent fault each cherished vanity and unsuspected foible fill our bosoms. BuJ why, it may be enquired, disturb ourselves with this displeasing subject ? Etfhrt has always been the .0rice ol en jojiment, and in no instance is it more a bujidantly repaid, that when, boldly per severing, we dare to search out, and look otff errors in the face, the great step towards correcting them. And mind in viifilant exertion, thought well discipliu eife and a generous zeal for truth, are sune of the , golden fruits to be reaped frpin intimate self-acquaintance. Who eer wishes to form a consistent charac ter whoever wishes for true and lasting pleasure, must cultivate the habjtI had almost said, thej' science of reflection i $jot the passing thoughtful uess of ur. idle, or a sad moment not the careless retro- sect of the past, in which we Jigiuly skim (jver by gone events, but thai deep perse vering meditation that impartial spirit 'investigation into motiveaud character, hich never tails to establish the mind, ff strengthen virtue, and invigorate every jjight resolution. An ancieut writer has faid, "a man isuseldom.or ever unliapjiy jor .not knowing the thoughts of others, ?nft?he that does not attend to the motions flitown, is certainly miserable." i.
